 Abstract. Regular consumption of poultry products produced with the use of feed antibiotics is the risk of a number of negative consequences for human health, including antibiotic resistance. By consuming a diet containing antibiotics-growth stimulants every day, broilers become a reservoir and carriers of antibiotic resistance genes. In addition, modern early maturing broiler chicks are particularly susceptible to oxidative stress due to genetic characteristics. Thus, fulvohumates are able to act both as a safe alternative to feed antibiotics and as a powerful antioxidant. The aim of the study was to assess the effect of fulvohumate on the biochemical parameters of blood serum and the antioxidant status of broiler chickens. Research results have shown the growth-stimulating effect of fulvohumate when fed antibiotic-free diets. The results of biochemical analysis of blood serum of broiler chickens indicate the absence of the toxic effect of fulvogumate with a pronounced intensification of metabolic processes. Fulvohumate exhibits high antioxidant activity and protects cells from oxidative damage by inducing general antioxidant, catalase and superoxide dismutase activity, as well as reducing the level of malondialdehyde.
