| Summary: | Agriminovit® is a multivitamin contains a combination of vitamins and
amino acids to meet the needs of chicken�s vitamins and amino acids, copes stress
and improve production quality. The purpose of this study was to determine the
effect of Agriminovit® for white blood cell (WBC) count and leukocyte
differentials of broiler chickens.
One hundred chickens were divided into four groups, each 25 and raised
since day old chick (DOC) till 35 days old. The control group was just given
water ad libitum, while the treatment groups I, II, and III were given Agriminovit®
solution with each dose of 0.25 g/L, 0.5 g/L, and 0.75 g/L as the instructions on
the package (1 g for 2 L of water for 4 days) on days 1-4, 11-15, and 21-25. Blood
sampling performed at day 35 through the brachial vein of the five chicken
samples that selected from each group by a simple random sampling method. Data
results of WBC and leukocyte differentials were analyzed with one-way analysis
of variance (ANOVA).
The results showed that the administration of Agriminovit® did not affect
the WBC count and leukocyte differentials, so that the product is safe for
consumption by chickens.
