Dietary supplementation of OligoPKE at 1% inclusion level enhanced FCR, increased plasma IgA level
and decreased heterophil and basophil counts in broiler chickens. In overall, our findings are indicative of a better
health status of broilers fed OligoPKE. These results justify further investigations on the use of OligoPKE as
prebiotics source to enhance the value of PKE which is currently a low priced agro-industrial byproduct mainly
used as feed for ruminant species.
