This research work was designed to find out the effect on blood biochemical parameters by supplementing ashwagandha and spirulina @ 1mg/kid/day to Bidri goat kids. Eighteen Bidri goats of more than one month of age were taken from farm and randomly grouped and feeding trials done for three months. Kids were divided in three groups that is group I (control group), group II (Spirulina treated) and group III (Ashwagandha treated). Dietary supplementation of spirulina and ashwagandha also improved haematobiochemical parameters like blood glucose, total protein, albumin, creatinine, triglycerides, cholesterol and BUN. Blood Biochemical parameters like total protein and albumin levels showed increase in level significantly. Blood biochemical parameters like blood glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, creatinine and BUN values of spirulina and ashwagandha fed groups were declined or lesser when compared to control group. The findings and interpretation of present study suggested that, spirulina and ashwagandha have similar effect on all the parameters measured. However, from economic point of view cheaper and easily available diet can be recommended for addition in kids diet.
