“…In the absence of BMD, Non-AGP at the higher level (0.1%) could show a better performance than the control group, reaching to that of BMD at day 35. The beneficial effects of Non-AGP feed ingredients on broiler performance in this trial are in agreement with a large number of other research studies using natural promoting agents in broilers (Conner et al, 1993;Helander et al, 1998;Russo et al, 1998;Alçiçek et al, 2004;Horosova et al, 2006;Puvača et al, 2008;Puvača et al, 2013;Hedayati et al, 2014) compared to studies which do not reveal positive effects (Lee et al, 2003). The Non-AGP product used in this study has phytomolecules (allicin, carvacrol, paprika, cinnamaldehyde, peppermint and thymol), Glucamannan oligosaccharides (derived from yeast cell wall), organic acids (propionic acid and fumaric acid) and Essential Oils (EOs) as its ingredients.…”

The objective of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of a non-antibiotic growth promoter (Non-AGP) which is a combination of phytomolecules, direct-fed microbials (DFMs) and organic acids on performance, serum enzyme activities, immune response and visceral organ weights of commercial broiler chickens. A total of 375 day-old Ross 308 broiler chickens (mixed sex) were obtained from a local hatchery, weighed, and randomly allotted to 5 treatment groups with 5 replicates of 15 birds each. They received different treatments as basal diet (control); control plus 400 mg/kg bacitracin methylene disalicylate (BMD); control plus 0.05% Non-AGP (Non-AGP1); control plus 0.1% Non-AGP (Non-AGP2) and control plus 0.1% commercial probiotic (PRO). Chicks fed BMD resulted in maximum feed efficiency and a significant (P≤0.05) increase in the body weight, relative weights of liver, kidney and pancreas and Newcastle disease (ND), Infectious Bursal Disease (IBD) and Avian Influenza (AI) titers at d 42. Dietary inclusion of Non-AGP at the level of 0.1% into the basal diet proved its efficiency equal to BMD fed chicks, whereas addition of a probiotic at the level of 0.1% showed its applicability similar to the control group. It is concluded that the tested Non-AGP product at 0.1% but not 0.05% in the current study may be a suitable replacement for BMD in poultry diets.

“…Over the past decades antibiotics as growth promoters in poultry nutrition have been used in order to improve the quality of the final product (Schwarz et al, 2001; Sarica et al, 2005;Puvača et al, 2013). Although chicken raised with addition of antibiotics achieves good productive performance on one hand, on the other hand their side effects became a real public health problem worldwide (Donoghue, 2003).…”

Aim of this investigation was to determine the effects of herbal drugs such as garlic, black pepper and hot red pepper in broiler chicken nutrition on carcass primal cuts quality. Total of 1200 one-day old Hubbard broilers were totally randomly distributed into eight dietary treatments with four replicates each. Chicks were fed with three dietary mixtures: starter, grower and finisher. Dietary mixtures in the experiments were as follows: T1 (Control diet), T2 (Garlic powder 0.5 g/100g), T3 (Garlic powder 1.0 g/100g), T4 (Black pepper powder 0.5 g/100g), T5 (Black pepper powder 1.0 g/100g), T6 (Hot red pepper 0.5 g/100g), T7 (Hot red pepper 1.0 g/100g ) and T8 (Mixture of spices in ratio of 1:1:1 in total amount of 0.5 g/100g). Addition of herbal drugs had significant (p<0.05) influence on carcass quality of broiler chickens. The highest achieved body weight of chicken was in treatment T6 (2460.6 g) which was followed by treatment T7 (2442.4 g) with statistically significant differences (p<0.05) compared to other treatments. The primal cuts of the most economically important value such as drumsticks with thighs had the highest weights in treatments T7 (530.7 g), T6 (525.2 g), T2 (520.2 g) and T8 (497.1 g), with statistically significant differences (p<0.05) compared to treatments T4, T5 and T1 (438.5 g, 448.7 g and 461.1 g). When it comes to a share of primal cuts in a ready-to-grill carcass weight, significant differences were not observed (p>0.05), while significant differences in the share of wings and beck (p<0.05) were recorded under the influence of added herbal drugs. It can be concluded that the addition of garlic, black pepper and hot red pepper in broiler chicken nutrition showed positive influence on chicken carcass quality.

“…The ATTD of P was significantly higher in protein reduced diet supplemented with PFA compared with non-supplemented diet indicating PFA positively affected P retention. Phytogenic feed additives consisting of cinnamaldehyde, carvacrol, and capsicum oleoresin supplemented in different diets (wheatbarley-soybean meal or corn-soybean meal diets) did not enhance the apparent digestibility of crude protein and amino acids in comparison with the control diet, when fed to male Hubbard broilers (Puvaca et al, 2013). The dietary inclusion of herbs (thymol, oregano, marjoram, rosemary or yarrow) and essential oils from it increased the apparent metabolizable energy and the apparent total tract digestibility of dry matter and organic matter in broiler chicks (Cross et al, 2007).…”

The experiment was carried out on 648 Ross 308 broilers (40.4±0.2 g; 1 d) chickens. It lasted for 28 days to evaluate the effects of phytogenic feed additive (PFA) on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, cecum microbiota, bone minerals contents, meat quality and internal organ weights. The chickens were haphazardly divided into any 1 of 6 dietary treatments (6 replicate pens/treatment; 18 broilers/pen). The experimental diets were: CON, control; T1, CON + 150 ppm PFA; T2, CP 0.5% reduced from basal diet; T3, T2 + 150 ppm PFA; T4, Ca 0.07% reduced + available P (aP) 0.065% reduced from basal diet; T5, T4 + 150 ppm PFA. Overall, broilers fed with T3 diet tended to have higher (P=0.08) body weight gain (BWG), and lower (P=0.05) feed conversion ratio (FCR) than T2 diet. The apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of P was lower (P=0.03) in T2 as compared to CON and it was higher (P=0.02) in T3 as compared to T2. There were no differences in meat quality, relative organ weight, and cecum microbiota (P>0.05). The supplementation of PFA showed trends in improvement in ash content in the bone of birds fed T1, T2 and T4 diets compared with CON. Likewise, the supplementation of PFA tended to increase (P=0.07) Ca content in the bone of birds fed T1 diet compared to CON. In conclusion, dietary supplementation with 150 ppm PFA could improve BWG in birds fed protein reduced diet, improve apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of P, and the bone Ca contents in broilers.
