Abstract

The study carried out to investigate the effect of cyperus rotundus tuber boiled extract on some blood physiological and biochemical parameters in broiler. One week age broiler chicken were divided into 3 groups (20 birds each), the control group were orally treated with 1 ml of distal water. The 1^st group was orally treated of cyperus rotundus tuber boiled extract with dose 1 ml /kg of body weight and with concentration 500 mg /ml‚ the 2^nd group were orally treated of cyperus rotundus tuber boiled extract with dose 1 mg/kg of body weight and with concentration 1000mg /ml. The treatment continues for 2 weeks period. The results showed a significant increase in RBCs, Hb, PCV, MCV‚ MCH and MCHC in the 2^nd group in 2^nd weekend compared with 1^st weekend. This was accompanied by a significant decrease in RBCs, and significant increase in Hb, MCH and MCV in the 2^nd weekend compared with 1^st weekend, while the treatments caused a significant increase in WBC compared with control. The biochemical study showed a significant increase in the serum total protein concentration in the 1^st and 2^nd group respectively compared with control. The study concluded that‚ the boiled extract of cyperus rotundus tuber enhanced some erythropoiesis and biochemical parameters.
