Abstract

This study was conducted in poultry fields belonging to Animal Production Department at College of Agriculture / University of Anbar for period from 30/9/2023 to 10/11/2023 (42 days). The objective of this study was to study effect of adding different levels of lycopene (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200) mg/kg feed to broiler's diets contaminated with aflatoxin B1 (2 mg/kg) feed on physiological performance. One hundred-eighty chicks, one-day-old (unsexed), was distributed in a completely randomized design that were divided into six treatments with three replicates (10 chicks / replicate). All diets were formulated to meet the same requirements. Broilers were fed with water and food ad libitum. Results indicated the addition of lycopene to contaminated feeds with Aflatoxin B1 led to a significant improvement in cellular blood parameters without having an adverse on the health of the birds. Furthermore, results demonstrated that lycopene supplementation reduced levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoproteins in serum of birds fed diets contaminated with mycotoxin. Also, increasing levels of high-density lipoproteins, which are considered a good indicator of blood lipid tests. Additionally, there was no significant effect of additions on creatinine and uric acid levels. The additions improved the concentration of glucose, total protein, globulin, albumin, and function of liver enzymes ALT and AST. The current results highlight the preventive role of lycopene supplementation in protecting against aflatoxin-contaminated feeds and reducing their harmful impact on the physiological performance and health status of broiler chickens.
