Description The experiment was conducted to assess the comparative efficacy of herbal methionine with DL-methionine on performance, haemato-biochemical, pathophysiological and immune profiles in broilers. 120 day-old broiler chicks were purchased and randomly assigned into 3 treatment groups 1, 2 and 3 with 40 chicks in each group, having 4 replicates of 10 birds in each replicate. The diets included Corn soybean meal-based, control diet supplemented with synthetic methionine (DLM) or herbal methionine. Group 1 as a control supplemented with DL-methionine (3.4 and 2.3 kg/ton, respectively in starter and finisher ration) feed only, group 2 was given feed supplemented with herbal methionine @ 6.5 and 5.2 kg/ton of feed, respectively in starter and finisher ration and group 3 was provided commercial feed supplemented with combination of DL- methionine (synthetic) and herbal methionine @ 1.7 + 3.2 and 1.15 + 2.60 kg/ton each, respectively in starter and finisher ration. The
results showed significant effects of dietary treatments on body weight, body weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio. The live body weight and weekly body weight gain of the broilers fed with the DL- methionine were higher followed by group 3 and then group 2. Feed consumption and feed conversion ratio (FCR) of broilers fed with DL-methionine diet (1) and mixed DL-methionine and H-Methionine (3) were significantly better than that of broilers fed on herbal methionine alone (2). The blood parameters, which were estimated at the end of 4th and 6th wk of age revealed non-significant changes in PCV, Hb and TEC in all the groups. The activity of ALP and AST, and the concentration of creatinine were significantly (P
