Abstract:
The present study on the effect of nucleotides in body weight and blood biochemical parameters was carried out. A total 240 chicks which belongs to the broiler breed CARIBRO VISHAL were used for this study. All the chicks were divided into 6 groups 40 birds in each. T1 served as Control. T2, T3, T4 and T5 groups were supplemented with Adenosine, Guanosine, Cytosine and Uridine @ 0.1% respectively. Group T6 was supplemented with combination of all four nucleoside (Adenosine, Guanosine, Cytosine and Uridine) bases each at 0.1%. The bases were administered through feed for initial 14d of age. The body weight of birds fed with combination of nucleosides was significantly (P<0.05) higher. The total protein level was significantly (P<0.05) higher in the plasma of birds supplemented with combination of nucleosides. It remained elevated in the group supplemented with combination of nucleosides after 14 and 42^nd day. Plasma uric acid level was significantly elevated in nucleoside combination supplemented group compared to control and all individual nucleosides supplemented groups during except 42^nd day of study. Thus present study concluded that supplementation of combined nucleosisdes significantly (P<0.05) increased body weight, Total protein and uric acid level in broilers.
