 ABSTRACT

A biological experiment of 160 day old chicks for six weeks was undertaken with completely randomized design (CRD) divided into five treatments with 32 chicks with four replicates per treatment. Five experimental diets as per ICAR (2013) were prepared by incorporating rice distillers dried grains with solubles (rDDGS) at inclusion level of (0, 7.5, 10.0, 12.5 and 15.0%). Haematological parameters did not show any significant (P>0.05) difference as compared to control. Serological parameters and serum enzymes also did not exhibit any significant (P>0.05) difference as compared to control but serum cholesterol level decreased significantly (P<0.05) in 15% rDDGS group and triglyceride level decreased significantly (P<0.05) in 12.5 and 15% rDDGS groups as compared to control. Carcass traits in terms of immune organ weight, cut up parts, feather and blood loss (%), skin and shank coloration did not show any significant (P>0.05) difference as compared to control. Thus, it is concluded that rDDGS can safely incorporated at the inclusion level of 15% in broiler diet without any adverse effect on haematological, serum biochemical and carcass traits.
