Author(s): Syed Makhdoom Hussain, Faisal Jameel, Muhammad Asrar* and Farhat Jabeen
The present study was designed to evaluate the effects of <i>Ficus carica</i> Fruit Extract (FCFE) and its biosynthesized Selenium Nanoparticles (Se-NPs) as phytogenic dietary additive on growth performance, carcass indices, internal organ development, serum biochemical indices and lipid profile of broilers. A total of 180 one-day old broiler chicks were randomly allocated to three dietary treatment groups, each with three replicates. Birds in group A were fed a basal diet without supplementation, group B received the basal diet supplemented with 5 g/kg FCFE per kg basal diet and group C received (0.4 mg/kg) biosynthesized Se-NPs using FCFE fruit extract per kg basal diet. Growth performance was recorded throughout the experiment period, while carcass characteristics, relative organ weights and serum biochemical parameters were evaluated at the end of study trial.
