Abstract
We studied the effect of BEDGEN 40™ SFA inclusion in the water on growth performance and hematological parameters of broilers from 1 to 42 d of age. The experimental design was completely randomized with 3 treatments that consists of C was the control without BEDGEN inclusion, T2 and T3 was treated by BEDGEN as supplements in drinking water (0.35 vs. 0.70 ml/1lt), respectively from 7 to 14 d and 21 to 28 d of age. Each treatment was 4 replicate and the experimental unit was a pen with 20 birds. All diets were based on corn, soybean meal, wheat, and included sunflower oil. From 1 to 42 d of age, inclusion of supplementation of BEDGEN 40™ SFA in drinking water increase body weight, weight gain, feed consumption (P<0.05) and improve feed conversion ratio, also exhibited significant effect on water intake at the last week of age and non-significant effect on blood lipids and PCV (P> 0.05) at day 21 and 42, during rearing period except blood HDL and Triglyceride at day 42. It is concluded that BEDGEN 40™ SFA supplementation were well utilized by broilers, at level of inclusion.
