This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of silver nanoparticles coated on clinoptilolite on performance traits, liver enzymes and blood lipid concentrations to use 375 Cobb 500 broiler chickens in completely randomized design with five treatments and five replicates and 15 birds to each replicate. The use of silver nanoparticles coated on clinoptilolite improved feed conversion ratio compared with the control treatment (P<0.05). Dietary treatments had no significant effect on the feed intakes and weight gain (P>0.05). The use of silver nanoparticles coated on clinoptilolite decreased alkaline phosphatase and alanine amino transferase level in serum (P<0.05). Silver nanoparticles coated on clinoptilolite be can decreased cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein, very low density lipoprotein concentration and increased high density lipoprotein concentration in broiler chickens (P>0.05). In conclusion, the results of this study showed that silver nanoparticles coated on clinoptilolite can be considered as a growth and health promoters as well as according to the results of liver function enzymes and blood lipids prevent liver damages during rearing period in broiler chickens.
