The present study was carried out to determine the effect of dietary organic acids mixture supplementation on serum parameters in laying hens. A total 24 week old 140 white leghorn laying hens which were randomly distributed to seven dietary treatment groups, each containing 20 hens. The hens were fed(18% CP% and 2697 Kcal KgG1 ME) i.e., Supplemented with T1 (0 % control), T2 (0.5% sodium-butyrate), T3 (1.0% sodium-butyrate), T4 (1.5% sodium-butyrate), T5 (0.5% calcium-propionate), T6 (1.0% calcium-propionate) and T7 (1.5% calcium-propionate). Serum parameters (Total proteins, albumin, globulin, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus) were significantly (P<0.05) increased and cholesterol level in serum was significantly (P<0.05) reduced by supplementing the diets with salts of organic acids.
