Abstract
The study had been designed to determine the dietary effect from microbial phytase and Alfalfa alcoholic extract (plant phytase) addition to the broilers diet to compare the efficiency of these two types of the enzymes. The study were extend for fourty-two days. Seven hundred one day old chick broilers were divided into three groups. The first one control (200 chicks) received basal diet. The second groups (T1): 200 chicks received basal diet and 0.2g/L of Alfalfa alcoholic extract supplemented with drinking water and the third group (T2) (300 chicks) received basal diet supplemented with 1000FTU/Kg of microbial phytase. Blood parameters included RBCs count, Hb, PCV, MCV, MCH, MCHC and total WBC count were studied. The study revealed that there was a significant differences in some parameters between the two treated groups, in comparison with control one as follows:- Significant increase (P<0.05) in, RBCs count (×1012/L), Hb concentration (g/dl), PCV (%), WBC count (×109/L). Insignificant decrease in MCV (fl) Significant increase (P<0.05) in MCHC (%) in T2 and insignificant increase for this parameter in T1. Insignificant decrease in MCH (pg) in T2 and insignificant increase for this parameter in T1. It was concluded from this study the dietary supplementation with microbial phytase and alfalfa leaves extract have a positive effect on some blood parameters in broilers
