Abstract: This study was conducted at College of Veterinary Science, Khanapara, Guwahati for a period of 42 days to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation of amla powder on biochemical profile characteristics of commercial broiler chickens. A total of 180 broiler chicks were randomly divided into four groups consisting of 45 numbers, sub divided into 3 replicates consisting of 15 chicks. The four groups T0, T1, T2 and T3 were offered basal diet with supplementation of amla powder at the rate of 0.00, 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75% in the feed (on dry matter basis), respectively. The result showed that Total serum cholesterol and Triglycerides, except Total serum protein, AST and ALT differed significantly (P<0.05; 0.01) among the experimental groups. The Antioxidant Biomarkers viz. Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) and Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) differed significantly (P<0.05; 0.01) among the experimental groups. From this study, we can conclude that supplementation of feeding the birds with amla powder improves the antioxidant status and decreases the lipids profile such as Total serum cholesterol and Triglycerides.
