Abstract: The present study was carried out to determine the hematological and biochemical parameters of Kadaknath birds supplemented with thyme oil, cinnamon oil and clove oil at dosage rate of 150 ppm basal diet. A total of 120 day old Kadaknath chicks were divided into 4 groups (T, T₂, T₃ and T₄) with 6 replicates of 5 chicks in each for a 98-day feeding trial (from 1 to 98 day of age). The haematological parameters like Hb, TEC, TLC and PCV were analysed by automatic blood analyser. The biochemical parameters like glucose, cholesterol, total protein, albumin, globulin, SGPT and SGOT were analyzed on chemistry analyzer diagnostic kits. The haematological parameters like Hb was significantly higher in T₄ group, PCV was significantly (p<0.05) higher in T₂ and T₃ group, TLC was significantly (p<0.05) higher in T₃ group while no significant change observed in TEC. The biochemical parameter like glucose, cholesterol and SGOT were found significantly (p<0.05) higher T₄ group whereas total protein, albumin and globulin were significantly higher in all treatment T₂, T₃ and T₄ groups. Based on the results of this study, it could be concluded that essential oils at a level 150 ppm of basal diet no detrimental impact on hematological and biochemical parameters of Kadaknath birds.
