Investigating the Effect of Algal Inclusions in Broiler Chickens.

ABSTRACT: There is growing interest in adding marine algae to poultry feed rations. The aim of the present study is to examine the effect of various inclusions of Sargassum sp., Gracilaria sp., and Spirulina sp. on productive performance, serum proteins, liver proteins, meat quality, and antioxidant activity in broiler chickens. There were seven dietary treatments (TRTs) as follows: TRT 1 was the control group without algae; TRT 2 was enriched with Sargassum sp. at 1% of the diet; TRT 3 with Sargassum sp. at 2% of the diet; TRT 4 with Gracilaria sp. at 0.5% of the diet; TRT 5 with Gracilaria sp. at 1% of the diet; TRT 6 with Spirulina sp. at 5% of the diet; TRT 7 with Spirulina sp. at 7.5% of the diet. Each treatment was replicated ten t
