Extract

Research on poultry genetics, feeding and management for BWG and FCR resulted in fast growth but decreased the quality of poultry products as modern fast growing broilers have been found to contain higher amount of abdominal fat (Chambers et al, 1981). Most recently considerable attention has been paid to test the potency of growth promo ants on altering lipid metabolism, because, Word Health Organization suggest that excess fat deposition is undesirable in human body. Recent report suggested that feeding of chicory beta fructans; a prebiotic reduced the serum cholesterol and abdominal fat of broiler chicken. The present study was undertaken to study the effect of Aspergillus meal prebiotic (Fermacto) on abdominal fat, serum total cholesterol, HDL and triglyceride levels in low protein diets.
