Effects of Turmeric, cinnamon powder, probiotic and antibiotic supplements in diets on broiler performance, blood biochemistry and immune response

A trial was conducted to study the effects of the aromatic plant Turmeric, cinnamon powder, probiotic (Protexin) and avilamycin on broiler performance, blood biochemical parameters and immune response in a completely randomized design with seven dietary treatments and four replications. Treatments were: control, 150 mg/kg avilamycin, 100 mg/kg protexin, 5 g/kg ground Turmeric, 7.5 g/kg ground Turmeric, 5 g/kg ground cinnamon and 7.5 g/kg ground cinnamon.
