No dietary treatment effect (P40.05) was observed in relation to
serum concentrations of glucose, total protein, albumin, total cholesterol,
LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and haematocrit percentage at
d 43 (Table 4). Serum concentration of triglycerides was linearly
greater (Po0.05) in broiler chickens receiving POP supplemented
diets than control broiler chickens. Haemoglobin concentration was
numerically greater in broiler chickens fed with diet containing 1.00%
purslane at d 43 and it tended to be significant (P¼0.06).
