Group T0- unsupplemented control group, Group T1, supplemented with Chikimune @ 6 g paste\/chick\/day and Group T2, supplemented with Chikimune @ 8 g paste\/chick\/day (Chikimune supplemented for first two days at poultry farm and no feed was offered during this period). Immune modulatory effect, dressing yield, histo-pathology of intestine along with weight of lymphoid organs and biochemical parameters were studied respectively. The results revealed that Chikimune supplementation significantly (P<0.05) improved the average final body weight (g) (group T1-1788.42, group T2-1831.00) when compared with control (group T0-1742. 35). Lymphoid organs weight also improved in Chikimune supplemented birds. Biochemical investigations recorded comparable improved values (mg\/dl) of blood biochemical parameters in supplemented birds. The antibody titer against Ranikhet disease at 3rd and 5th week in treated groups was notably higher (1: 128\/256) than non-treated broilers (1:16\/32) indicating better immunity set-up. Chikimune supplementation was efficacious in improving immunity and decreasing the incidence of mortality in chicks.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Keywords: Early feeding, FCR, HI Titer, biochemical parameters<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/npaa.in\/journal-ijta\/admin\/ufile\/1444836652IJTA_27_25-31.pdf\">PDF<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>N.V.
