An study was conducted on "Cobb-500" broiler chicks to evaluate the effects of probiotics and enzymessupplementation on growth performance, haematological and biochemical parameters. A total of 20, fourteen daysold broiler chicks were divided randomly into four groups using five broiler chicks in each group. Group A wasdesignated as control group was given only normal broiler ration and rest of the groups were fed probiotics andenzymes, [Group B (probiotic Microguard® @ 1 gm/L), Group C (enzymes preparation Acmezyme* 1 gm/L), GroupD (Microguard* g 1 gm/L and Acmezyme @ 1 gm/L)] with drinking water respectively from 1St to 21st day of study. Itwas observed that probiotics and enzymes supplementation enhanced the body growth rate. At the final day ofexperiment the body weight was significantly increased (P<0.01) in the treated groups in comparison with that ofcontrol group. Total Erythrocyte Count (TEC), Hemoglobin (Hb) concentration, Packed Cell Volume (PCV) weresignificantly increased (p<0.01) in treated groups than the control group. Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) andSerum alanine aminotransaminase (ALT) levels were decreased significantly (p<0.01) than the control group. Theserum Serum aspertate aminotransaminase (AST) level was decreased significantly (p<0.01) in all treated groupsexcept group D than the control group. It is suggests that the poultry farming may be benefited using probiotics andenzymes
