Abstract
The bactericidal activity of the leukocytes was studied in broilers fed diets supplemented with bioactive feed additive HerbaStore in conditions of the experimental farm of the Ural State Agrarian University. Day-old Ross-308 broilers were allotted to two treatments (44 birds per treatment at male to female ratio 1:1); control treatment 1 was fed standard diets with the nutritive parameters recommended by the producers of the cross; diets for treatment 2 since 5 days of age to the slaughter (at 37 days of age) were supplemented with HerbaStore (500 ppm). The blood was sampled at 29 days of age from 5 birds per treatment with average live bodyweight. It was found that the bactericidal activity of the leukocytes in treatment 2 was significantly higher by 11.08% in compare to control (p < 0.05) evidencing the stimulation of the non-specific resistibility in broilers by the studied additive. The inclusion of a feed additive in the diet contributed to an increase in the average daily increase in the experimental group by 2.1% in comparison with the control indicators .
