Abstract

The research study was undertaken to investigate the effect of different schedules of administration of Vitamin C serum biochemistry of broilers chicks. A total of 45 (Arbor-Acres) day old chicks were used in this study. Five levels of Vitamin C at the rate of supplemented with 30mg/kg, 60mg/kg, 90mg/kg and 120mg/kg feed of vitamin C was incorporated into the basal diet for six weeks. Feeding period for all groups was lasted for 42 days. Relevant data was recorded throughout the experiment till the termination of experiment. Significant decreased total cholesterol and VLDL was observed in Treatment T4. It is concluded that schedule on the basis receiving infusion three days in a week is more potent than other schedule of research study.
