ABSTRACT
A total no. of 126 day old broiler chicks (Ven-Cobb strain) were randomly assigned into 6 treatments groups A, B, C, D, E and F. The birds of group A were kept as healthy control, while group B received lead acetate @ 200 mg/kg alone, where as, birds of group C, D, E and F received Lead acetate @ 200 mg/kg + Ascorbic acid @ 200 mg/kg, lead acetate @ 200 mg/kg along with α-tocopherol @ 100 mg/kg + Selenium @ 0.1 mg/kg, Lead acetate @ 200 mg/kg + DL-methionine @ 100 mg/ kg and Lead acetate @ 200 mg/kg + methanolic extract of Cissus quadrangularis (CQE) @ 400 mg/kg respectively. Lead caused body weight to decrease significantly. Lead (200 mg/kg basal diet) had an inhibitory effect on the growth of broilers. The addition of ascorbic acid, α-tocopherol & Se and DL-methionine to the diet tended to reverse the depressive effect of lead on growth with maximum efficacy showed by DL-methionine followed by Vit-E & Se. However, the negative growth effect of lead was not fully overcome by the addition of methanolic extract of Cissus quadrangularis (CQE) at a dose of 400 mg/kg feed.
Key words: Lead, toxicity, antioxidants, growth performance, broilers.
