An experiment was conducted to assess the effect of dietary supplementation of chicory root powder and avian specific Lactobacillus spp on blood biochemical and anti-oxidant profile of broiler birds. 250 day old commercial (Ven Cobb) broiler chicks were selected randomly and were distributed into five treatments groups. Duration of experiment was 42 days. Each treatment comprises of five replicates with 10 chicks in each replicate.
