Abstract: A biological trial was conducted to assess the effect of feeding zinc on blood biochemical constituents in broiler breeders. One hundred twenty eight adult healthy broiler breeders were used and these were randomly divided into four groups. The treatments were control (basal diet) and treatment groups were fed with supplementary organic zinc as 20 ppm (T1), 40 ppm (T2) and 60 ppm (T3).The blood sample were collected and plasma biochemical constituents were analysed. In male broilers, higher dose of zinc (T3) fed group showed significantly (P<0.05) higher in serum calcium, enzymes like Alkaline phosphatase, aspartate transaminase and reduced total cholesterol and total protein and there was no significant (P>0.05) difference serum phosphorus, triglycerides, alanine transaminase and uric acid. In case of female broilers feeding zinc T3 treatment group showed significantly (P<0.05) higher level of calcium, phosphorus, total protein, ALP, AST and increased the total cholesterol content. There was no significant difference was noticed in Alanine transaminase and uric acid level. In conclusion, supplementing the diet of broiler breeder chickens with zinc caused significant increase in serum plasma and cholesterol contents in this study. Therefore, zinc can be used as efficient feed additive for enhanced physiological status of birds.
