Serum biochemical and haematological indices constitute important panels in the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of livestock diseases via the investigations of myriads of parameters influencing these blood and serum biochemical indices. Serum biochemical indices, haematological indices and blood electrolytes are critical physiological indices which have health implications on the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of livestock diseases especially in animals bred under different management systems. It is important to stress that cascades of parameters of both genetic and non-genetic origin greatly have direct and indirect health implications on serum biochemical indices and blood electrolytes in livestock animals and subsequently on their health/ production performances. Laboratory blood tests would be a vital tool to help detect any deviation from normal state of wellbeing in animals. Therefore, this review intends to provide base line information to establish certain haematological and serum biochemical indices as standard references which can be employed as alternative therapy for diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of cascades of diseases plaguing livestock animals bred under different management systems especially under the harsh condition of the tropics. Hence, it is important to establish standard values for the various blood and serum biochemical indices base on parameters of non-genetic origin; age, sex, physiological state, stress level, management systems, medication, health status, nutrition, hormone, climate, etc. and genetic parameters which include the breed and genotype of the animal among others obviously affect the blood and serum profile of healthy animal which subsequently influence their production performance and efficiency.

“…Esonu et al., (2001) had stated that hematological constituents reflect the physiological responsiveness of the animals to its internal and external environment. The effects of various feed on the hematology and serum biochemistry of livestock have been studied by many scientists ( Annougi and Folorunso, 2003 , Olayeni et al., 2006 , Kumar et al., 2014 , Parveen et al., 2017 ) and concluded that feed affects animal physiology ( Madubuike and Ekenyem, 2006 ).…”

Three hundred crossbred chickens (at age of 11 wk) were randomly housed in 15 open-sided deep litter pens with 20 chickens in each pen under completely randomized design for a period of 9 wk. Before evaluating their hematobiochemical and carcass characteristics, the birds were provided with grower mash ad libitum throughout the experimental period. Blood samples were taken from each genotypic group ( nanaff , Nanaff , and NanaFf ), when the birds were 18 and 20 wk old, respectively, for the evaluation of hematobiochemical parameters. At the end of the trial, 15 chickens from each of the 3 genotypic groups were randomly selected and slaughtered to determine the carcass parameters. The findings from the study revealed that except for total cholesterol, spleen, and neck weight, there was no significant genotypic effect ( P > 0.05) on hematobiochemical and carcass parameters measured. The nanaff genotype birds had significantly higher ( P < 0.05) cholesterol levels than both Nanaff and NanaFf genotype birds, both of which did not differ significantly. The Nanaff had significantly ( P < 0.05) higher spleen and neck weight than both the nanaff and NanaFf . The latter 2 did not differ significantly ( P > 0.05). Also, hematobiochemical assays of all the birds were within normal range. From a health point of view, the indigenous naked neck genotype seems superior because its fat and cholesterol contents were low. Thus, it is strongly recommended that there should be a conscious effort to develop and commercialize the naked-neck and frizzled birds especially in developing countries.

“…This note was supported by the findings of Ravindran et al (1983), in where feed intake and feed/gain raised as cassava leaf meal or dehydrated alfalfa meal leaf meals raised. On the other hand, Madubuike and Ekenyem (2006) reported enhanced feed intake for broilers fed diets with 5 and 10% levels of Moringa, however, FI was depressed at 15%. This conforms to the observations established by Ash et al (1992) that including of MOL meals in broiler diets about 5 to 10% results in depressed performance.…”

This study was conducted to figure out the effect of 1% inclusion of three herbal (Moringa leaves powder, Sumac fruit powder, Thyme powders and their mixture) in the diet on broiler chick's growth performance. A total of 181 a day-old male broiler chicks (Ross 308) were randomly distributed into five dietary treatments with 3 replicates (12 birds/rep). The groups were Control (no addition, T1), 1% Moringa (Moringa oleifera) leaves powder (MLP, T2), 1% Sumac (Rhus coriaria L.) fruit powder (SFP, T3), 1% Thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.) leaves powder (TLP, T4), 1% Mixture of Moringa, Sumac and Thyme leaves powder (MST, T5). The birds were offered non-pelleted diets ad libitum from beginnig to end of the trail. Live body weight, body weight gain, accumulative feed intake and feed conversion ratio were recorded weekly. Moringa leaves powder (MLP), Sumac fruit powder (SFP), the mixture of Moringa, Sumac and Thyme (MST) had significant (p<0.05) effects on growth performance. Dietary supplementation of the herbs had positive effect on live body weight (LBW) and feed conversion ratio. The highest LBW was observed in MLP and MST groups. In terms of LBW, however, there was no significant (p< 0.05) differences for the birds fed with supplemented Thyme leaves powder (TLP) relative to the control group during all total periods (0-42 d). Positive effects was observed on accumulative FCR comparing to the control group and the best significant FCR was obtained by using Moringa additive. However, there were no significant effects (P<0.05) of treatments on accumulative feed intake except the feed supplementation with Thyme only when comparing to control group and other treatments. As a result, Moringa leaves powder, Sumac fruit powder, Thyme leaves powder, and Mixture of Moringa, Sumac & Thyme leaves powder could be used as growth promoter instead of antibiotics by 1% of supplementation in the diet of broiler with no negative effects. Key words:Broiler, moringa, sumac, thyme, feed performance. Moringa, Kekik, Sumak Tozları ve Karışımının Etlik Piliçlerin Besi Performansı Üzerine Etkisi ÖzetBu çalışma, üç tıbbi aromatik bitkinin (moringa yaprak tozu, sumak meyve tozu ve kekik yaprak tozu) ve bunların karışımları) %1 oranında rasyona ilavesinin etlik piliçlerin besi performansına etkisini araştırmak amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Toplam yüz seksen adet bir günlük erkek broyler civcivleri (Ross 308), 3 tekerürlü beş gruba şansa bağlı olarak dağıtılmıştır. Gruplar; Control (T1), %1 Moringa (Moringa oleifera) tozu (T2), %1 Sumak (Rhus coriaria L.) meyve tozu (T3), %1 Kekik (Thymus vulgaris L.) tozu (T4) ve %1 Moringa, Sumak ve Kekik Karışımı tozu (T5) olarak belirlenmiştir. Deneme boyunca hayvanlara rasyon toz formunda adlibitum olarak verilmiştir. Canlı ağırlık, canlı ağırlık artışı, yem tüketimi ve yemden yararlanma haftalık olarak kaydedilmiştir. Moringa tohumları (T2), Sumak meyve tozu (T3) ve Moringa, Sumak ve Kekik karışımı (T4) broiler civcivlerdeki canlı ağırlık ve yem dönüşüm oranı üzerinde önemli (P <0.05) ve pozitif etkilere sah...
