There is growing interest in adding marine algae to poultry feed rations. The aim of the present study examine effect various inclusions Sargassum sp., Gracilaria and Spirulina sp. on productive performance, serum proteins, liver meat quality, antioxidant activity broiler chickens. were seven dietary treatments (TRTs) as follows: TRT 1 was control group without algae; 2 enriched with at 1% diet; 3 2% 4 0.5% 5 6 5% 7 7.5% diet. Each treatment replicated ten times, 17 birds per replicate, analyses performed triplicates. Results rations proximate revealed that formulated diets contained required amounts protein, fat, fiber, ash, moisture, be fed no production performance parameters birds. All normally group. It shown enriching diet Induced an increase total while algal inclusion reduced compared At five weeks age, resulted a higher concentration protein-C than inclusion. Enriching 3- wks old broilers elevated proportions LFABP. maximum proportion omega fatty acid (∑n-6) observed received diet, (∑n-3) highest algae-enriched groups. results showed all lowered ratio omega-6 omega-3 acids (∑n-6:∑n-3). chickens increased HDL concentration, palatability for color, texture, flavor, appearance, smell, overall acceptability not negatively affected by inclusions. enhanced anti-oxidative status lipid oxidative stability stored In general, it can concluded used any detrimental effects
