  ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to investigate the serum oxidative stress induced by dietary nickel chloride (NiCl2) in broilers. A total of 240 one-day-old avian broilers were divided into four groups and fed on a cornsoybean basal diet as control diet or the same basal diet supplemented with 300 mg/kg, 600 mg/kg and 900 mg/kg NiCl2. During the experimental period of 42 days, oxidative stress parameters were determined for both control and experimental groups. The results showed that malondialdehyde (MDA) content was significantly higher (p 2 in excess of 300 mg/kg could cause oxidative stress, which could finally impaired the antioxidant function in broilers.
