A feeding trial was conducted in female parent stock of Swarnadhara for 8 weeks during grower stage. Test diets were formulated at variable levels of energy (2500 / 2400 kcal ME / kg) and protein (16 / 15 % CP) to form 4 treatments (High Energy/High Protein–T1; High Energy/Low Protein T2; Low Energy/High Protein–T3 and Low Energy/Low Protein–T4). 384 grower birds (13 – 20 weeks age) were divided into 32 replicates of 12 birds each to offer four diets randomly to 8 replicate groups under deep litter system. | Blood biochemical profile of swarnadhara grower parents as influenced by different levels of energy and protein in the diet (2020) 9(3): 570-578 International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 9 Number 3 (2020) Journal homepage: Original Research Article Blood Biochemical Profile of Swarnadhara Grower Parents as Influenced by Different Levels of Energy and Protein in the Diet N.

Test diets were formulated at variable levels of energy (2500 Keywords / 2400 kcal ME / kg) and protein (16 / 15 % CP) to form 4 treatments (High Blood mineral Energy/High Protein–T1; High Energy/Low Protein T2; Low Energy/High profile, Deep litter Protein–T3 and Low Energy/Low Protein–T4). 384 grower birds (13 – 20 weeks system, Energy, age) were divided into 32 replicates of 12 birds each to offer four diets randomly Grower stage, Protein to 8 replicate groups under deep litter system. A linear increase in calcium Swarnadhara concentration over all from beginning to the end of the experiment in all the dietary groups was observed. But, the pooled mean serum calcium (P ≥ ) Article Info values were , , and mg/dl in groups T 1, T2, T3 and T4, Accepted: respectively. However, the pooled mean plasma inorganic phosphorus values 05 February 2020 ranged non-significantly (P ≥ ) from .
