The aim of this experiment was to study the effect supplementation of Sreeni herbal (SH) and Vasanthu Sanjeevani plus (VSP) on serum biochemical profile and breast meat composition of broiler chicken. For this, 400-day old broiler chicks individually weighed and randomly distributed into 5 dietary treatments with 16 replicates per treatment and each replicate had 5 birds. The first group was kept as a control (T₁) and given the basal diet without antibiotic, second group (T₂) was fed T₁ with antibiotic, T₃ BD + SH Solid gel form thoroughly mixed in feed, T_4-BD + VSP Liquid gel form added to water and T₅ BD + VSP + SH (Moring Sreeni Herbal in feed and evening VSP in water). It was observed that supplementation of all herbal groups (T₃ to T₅) significantly lowered the total serum cholesterol (mg/dL) concentration, triglycerides, LDL-C and VLDL-C, uric acid, creatinine levels and increased the serum total protein, albumin and serum HDL-C concentration compared to control and antibiotic groups. Moisture percentage, dry matter (%), crude fat (%), crude fiber (%), total ash (%) and NFE (%) of breast muscle did not show any significant (p>0.05) difference among different treatments, while crude protein (%) content of breast muscle was increased significantly in sreeni herbal (T₃), vasanthu sanjeevani plus (T₄) and sanjeevani + sreeni combination (T₅) groups when compared to control and antibiotic groups. Hence, amla, ashwagandha, turmeric, Aloe vera and giloy based herbal mixtures (sreeni herbal and vasanthu sanjeevani plus) may be used to reduce serum cholesterol and increase breast muscle protein of broilers.
