The present study evaluated the effect of dietary inclusion of various feed supplements and their combination on the performance index, glucose and serum cholesterol for 6 weeks. Day-old broiler chicks (n=252) were randomly assigned to seven treatment groups, each with 3 replicates. The first treatment was designated as control (T₀) in which no supplement was added to the feed, while in treatments T₁; organic mineral mixture (Organomin forte), T₂; organic mineral mixture (Vannamin), T₃; probiotics (Microguard), T₄; enzyme (Brozyme -XPR) and probiotics, T₅; emulsifier (Lipigon) were provided through feed. In the T₆ group, 3 percent less energy was given through feed. Significant improvement (p<0.05) was observed in performance index and HDL cholesterol and significant (P<0.05) decline in the glucose, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglyceride in broilers under supplementary groups as compared to control groups. The results of the present study indicated that it is possible to produce lean meat to an extent by manipulating diets which lead to better performance index of broilers during the overall period, which led to the release of more nutrients which helped in absorption, assimilation and utilization.
