  Enzymes which are biological catalyst composed of amino acids with minerals and vitamins. The use of enzymes has many benefits in poultry diets include not only enhanced feed conversion and bird performance but also reduced output of excreta problems of environment. The present research work was conducted to evaluate the effect of phytase enzyme on growth performance and blood profile of broiler. Birds were arbitrarily separated into four groups, i.e. Group A (control) was offered 0 g/kg, 0.05 g/kg (group B), 0.075 g/kg (group C) and 0.025 g/kg (group D) phytase enzyme provided in broiler feed. Parameters which were selected in present research work as, feed intake, live body weight, feed conversion ratio, growth performance and blood profile. Results showed that the maximum chicken body weight was noted in group C and feed intake was minimum in group C, as compared to other groups. Feed conversion ratio was significantly (p &lt; 0.05) higher in group C, followed by other groups the non-significantly variance founded respectively, the highest weight of liver, gizzard, heart, intestine were noted in treated group C comparatively, highest spleen weight was in group B and in group A (control) the minimum weight of spleen was noted and the average blood profile of broiler chicks in different groups, the white blood cells was significantly higher in group D followed by group A, group B and C. Red blood cells was significantly (P &lt; 0.05) better in group C. Haemoglobin was significant differences in different groups of trial. A significant (P &lt; 0.05) difference in Packed cells volume in group A followed by group B, C and D. Total protein in group A was minimum followed by group B, C and D, respectively. From the present study, it was concluded that supplementation of 0.075 g/kg phytase enzyme has a better effect on growth performance and blood profile of broiler.

Introduction</title><p>The poultry sector one of the highest energetic sections in different organized of the industries of agriculture in Pakistan. The industries of poultry are facing some problems in early growth and active biological activities as per the requirement of the market for enhancing the socio-economic status of the poultry oriented community in the under developing country. The cost amount of feed to a significant proportion of comprehensive livestock production system [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.110539-ref1">1</xref>]; according to a report that, cost of feed represents up to 60% - 80% of the whole broiler chicken production cost [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.110539-ref2">2</xref>]; poultry required enzymes which help in fed breakdown because chicken have not enzyme for fiber break down. Enzymes which are biological catalyst composed of amino acids with minerals and vitamins. The using of enzyme have many benefits in poultry diets include not only enhanced feed conversion and bird performance but also reduced output of excreta problems of environment. It is common practice to name enzymes by adding the suffixase and protease which break down protein, pancreatic lipase which splits lipid/fat [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.110539-ref3">3</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.110539-ref4">4</xref>]; in nutrient of poultry the enzyme usage in animal feed has great importance in most of the developing countries in the price of feed ingredients has been a major constriction. As a consequence nonconventional feed ingredients and cheaper have to be used which contain higher percentage of insoluble/crude fiber and soluble besides with starch. Non Starch Polysaccharides are polymeric carbohydrates which differ in structure from starch and composition, [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.110539-ref5">5</xref>].</p><p>In the intestinal tract part of these Non-Starch Polysaccharides is water-soluble which is notorious for forming a gel like viscous consistency, [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.110539-ref6">6</xref>]; thus gut performance reducing. Phytase enzyme use in the feed industry enzymes in the feed industry has mostly been used for poultry to neutralize the effects in cereals viscous, polysaccharides. These antinutritive carbohydrates are undesirable, as in the diet they reduce absorption and digestion of all nutrients, especially protein and fat. Phytase enzyme not only increases the availability of phosphate in plants and also decreases pollution of environmental. Several other enzyme products are currently being evaluated in the poultry feed industry to assist in the digestion of starch in early-weaned animals and to neutralize certain antinutritive factors in noncereal feedstuffs. The phytase enzyme reduces the inorganic phosphorus quantity (40% in broilers) which is needed in poultry diet, in environment decreases the excreted amount makes more phosphorus available for the bird Simons, [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.110539-ref7">7</xref>]; the importance of enzyme using in animal feed. Recently, considerable attention has been shown as a feed phytase enzyme in combination with poultry feed. The current mission was scheduled to carry out the influence of partial replacement of sunflower with phytase enzyme on nutrient digestibility of broiler. Phytase enzymes are produced commercially for utilization and improve nutrient digestibility added to poultry feeds. In many others scientists and scholars’ research focused on the testing of efficacy and identification of the former for use of Phytase enzyme in the animal feed industry ability to hydrolyze Phytic acid in the gastro intestinal tract [2b]; according to researcher that phytase enzyme has been hard to achieve native microbial phytase enzymes for poultry use [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.110539-ref8">8</xref>]; by some processes such as Thermo protective and genetic transformation is an effort to attain these favorite characteristics where, several microbial phytase have been changed [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.110539-ref9">9</xref>]; there are much more phytase enzymes which are derived from various types of micro-organisms (fungi and bacteria) and commercially available to the poultry feed industries [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.110539-ref10">10</xref>]; in different population groups of poultry chick blood chemistry profile comparison with nutrient intake might designate the need for adjustment of certain nutrients downward/upward [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.110539-ref11">11</xref>].</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>2.

Results and Discussion</title><p>In current study, the blood profile of broiler was observed high in supplementation of phytase enzyme in different treatment groups as compare to control. The live body weight, FCR%, the highest weight of liver, gizzard, heart, intestine were noted in treated group C comparatively, highest spleen weight was in group B and in group A (control) the minimum weight of spleen was noted.</p><sec id="s5_1"><title>5.1. Body Weight</title><p>Analysis of variance showed that there were significant differences between the weight of birds amongst the four treatments (P &lt; 0.01). The results of body weight of birds were noted in treated groups which were supplemented of phytase enzyme compared with un-supplemented group A. The maximum chicken body weight was noted in group C, as compare to group B. The average body weight was further decreased in group D and minimum in group A (control). The presence of phytase enzyme in group C diet recorded significantly (P &lt; 0.05) the maximum body weight gain <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Figure 3</xref>(A). In instances where phytase enzyme is supplemented, the higher body weight gain may be attributable to an increase in P availability and, maybe feed intake, [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.110539-ref13">13</xref>]; the higher CP (crude protein) content may be due to greater content of crude fiber (CF), which may impair nutrient absorption and digestion while the reduced weight gain of broilers fed the control diet group A may be ascribed to low crude protein content of the diet compared to other diets.</p></sec><sec id="s5_2"><title>5.2. Feed Intake</title><p>The intake of feed was analysis in different groups of chicks the feed intake was maximum in group A, as compare to treatments groups. The average intake of feed was further decreased in group C. Feed intake was minimum in group C. The results showed that in group a feed intake was higher than group C, B and D, <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Figure 3</xref>(B). In view of investigation the visible increase in feed intake might be attributed to increased largeness of the feed and metabolizable energy concentration of the diets. In instances where phytase enzyme is added, to rise in P availability and, may be feed intake.</p></sec><sec id="s5_3"><title>5.3. FCR %</title><p>The FCR of different groups were examined and the FCR was minimum in treatment group C and in group B was higher than treatments groups the non-significantly variance founded respectively, <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Figure 3</xref>(C). This was in agreement with the non-conventional feed stuff often decreases feed cost. This confirms that there is better economic gain by feeding phytase enzyme to broilers since it has the potential of reducing feeding cost of broilers. This supports the conclusion of several researchers that leaf meal supplementation in poultry rations has been proved as means of reducing cost and improving profit margin.</p></sec><sec id="s5_4"><title>5.4. Relative Organs Weight (%)</title><p>From four dietary treatments show (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">Figure 4</xref>), that there is Statistical analysis showed that group A and group D were significant difference in relative weight of liver compare to group B and C, while group B and C non-significant different from one another but with increase percentage of phytase enzyme, slightly weight of liver increased. That there were no visible differentiation throughout treatment except for spleen, lung, gizzard their weight was higher significantly in chicks provided phytase enzyme. Such morphological changes, supposedly caused by plant feed additives may provide further information on possible benefits to the digestive tract [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.110539-ref14">14</xref>]; these results shows non-significant different in heart weight in different treated groups reported that heart weight slightly increased in different treated groups. The intestine weight of different groups analyzed and the intestine weight of groups D was higher than rest of groups. Such morphological changes in gastrointestinal tissues may provide further information on possible profits to the digestive tract [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.110539-ref15">15</xref>]; the increase of villous height of different small intestine segment may be attributed to the role of the intestinal</p><p>epithelium as a natural barrier against pathogenic bacteria and toxic substances that are present in the intestinal lumen [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.110539-ref16">16</xref>].</p><p>Level of blood profile of broiler was analysis, where the red blood cells, Hemoglobin, total protein, packed cell volume were counted higher in treated C group as related others treated group and control (A), respectively.

The comparable WBC of birds suggests that the animals were healthy because decrease in number of WBC below the normal range is an indication of allergic conditions, anaphylactic shock and certain parasitism or presence of foreign body in circulating system [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.110539-ref17">17</xref>]; the general non significance of the WBC across treatments indicates that the experimental diets neither impaired nor enhanced the birds’ ability to wade off infection.</p></sec><sec id="s5_6"><title>5.6.
