A feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of organic mineral mixture, probiotics, enzymes, emulsifier and liver supplements on nutrient utilization and haematological profile of broilers. For this purpose, a total of 396 day-old commercial broiler chicks (Cobb) were used and randomly allocated into 11 groups with three replicates of 12 chicks each. Broilers of T4, T5, T9 and T10 groups showed significantly (P<0.05) increase in dry matter utilization as compared to T0 group. All the supplemented group showed significant (P<0.05) increase in crude protein utilization than T0 group except T6 and T7. All the supplemented group showed significant (P<0.05) increase in ether extract utilization than T0 group except T6, T7 and T8. All the supplemented group showed significant (P<0.05) increase in calcium utilization than T0 group except T6, T7 and T8. All the supplemented group showed significant (P<0.05) increase in phosphorus utilization than T0 group except T6 and T7. All the supplemented groups showed significant (P<0.05) increase in TEC, TLC, PCV and Hb compared to T0 group at 42nd day. All the supplemented groups showed significant (P<0.05) increase in TLC compared to T0 group except T6 at 42nd day. All the supplemented groups showed significant (P<0.05) increase in PCV compared to T0 group except T6 at 42nd day. All the supplemented groups showed significant (P<0.05) increase in Hb compared to T0 group at 42nd day. All the supplemented groups showed significant (P<0.05) decrease in MCV and MCH as compared to T0 group at 42nd day. All the supplemented groups showed significant (P<0.05) decrease in MCHC compared to T0 group except T6 and T7 at 42nd day.
