Effect of Aqueous Extract Plant Mixture on Lipid Profile and Hepatotoxicity of Broiler Chicks

Abstract

A research study was conducted to find the effect aqueous extract mixture of Zingiberofficinale, Carumcapticum, Withania somnifera, Trigonella foenum graecum, Silybummarianum, Allium sativum and Berberis lyceum on the growth performance of internal organs, lipid profile and hepatotoxicity of broiler chicks. A total of 240 day old chicks were purchased and were reared for 35 days in summer month. The birds were raised on conventional deep litter system, in open shed and all the pens/cages were placed in the same shed to ensure the same environment for all of the groups. Each pen was provided with a feeder and drinker. This aqueous extract mixture of plant was then mixed in drinking water of chicks at the rate of @ 0.0, 5.0, 10.0 and 15.0 ml/L for group A, B, C and D, respectively while group A served as a control. Feed and water were provided on calculated basis. Total numbers of chicks were divided into four groups (A, B, C and D) each having 60 chicks. Each group was further subdivided into three groups (replicates) each having 20 chicks. The data were recorded to explore the effect of infusion based plant mixture on the lipid profile and hepatotoxicity. AST and ALP had significantly (P<0.05) decreasing trend in groups B, C & D. ALT was significantly (P<0.05) lower in Group B. Group D had significantly (P<0.05) lower cholesterol, Triglyceride and LDL and higher HDL values. Serum protein were significantly (P<0.05) higher in group A. Group B @ 5.0 ml/L of Aqueous Extract water to improve liver function. Lipid profile could be well controlled, while using plant mixture extract @ 15.0 ml/L of water. Therefore the use of these medicinal plants is of great concern especially for broiler hepatic-toxicity and lipid profile.

Growth performance and lysozyme activity of rainbow trout fingerlings fed with vitamin E and selenium, marjoram (Origanum spp.), and ajwain (Trachyspermum ammi) extracts

“…Some studies have shown that extracts of various herbs can improve the feed conversion ratio (FCR), decrease the breeding duration, and reduce the breeding cost (Javed et al, 2009). For example, marjoram's effect on tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) has led to weight gain (WG) and specific growth rate (SGR), as well as to a reduction in FCR and mortality (Hany, et al 2014).…”

Penggunaan Ekstrak Metanol Bawang Putih (Allium sativum) Sebagai Feed Additive Terhadap Kualitas Karkas Ayam Broiler

“…Mahmood et al (2009) melaporkan pemberian ransum yang mengandung 0,5% bawang putih dapat meningkatkan konversi ransum dan berat badan ayam dan tidak berdampak negatif terhadap perkembangan jantung, rempela, hati, limpa dan pankreas. Javed et al (2009) melaporkan pemberian ekstrak bawang putih 10 ml/liter air minum mengakibatkan konsumsi pakan ,dan kualitas karkas ( persentase karkas, pertambahan berat badan harian dan bobot potong) meningkat serta menurunkan konversi ransum pada ayam broiler umur 35 hari. Ramakrishna et al (2003) mengatakan bahwa suplemen bawang putih (Allium sativum) dapat meningkatkan aktivitas enzim pancreas, sehingga pencernaan bahan pakan lebih baik dan sekaligus dapat meningkatkan penyerapan zat-zat makanan dalam saluran pencernaan.…”

“…Mahmood et al (2009) mengatakan pemberian ransum basal pada ayam broiler yang mengandung tepung bawang putih taraf 0,5% dapat meningkatkan konversi ransum, bobot badan meskipun persentase karkas tidak meningkat. Javed et al (2009) melaporkan bahwa pemberian ekstrak tanaman obat yang mengandung bawang putih 10ml/liter air minum ayam broiler dapat meningkatkan konsumsi ransum, bobot badan, konversi ransum serta kualitas karkas tetapi tidak berpengaruh dengan persentase karkas.

Effect of Hydrolysable Tannin and Grape Seed Extract Supplementation on Growth Performance, Antioxidative Status and Immune Response of Growing Rabbits During Summer Season.

“…In order to increase efficiency by improving digestibility, nutrient absorption and removal of pathogens resident in the gut, Athansiadou et al (2007) announced that phytogenics were introduced into the animal feed diet. Javed et al (2009) suggested that different plant extracts would boost the ratio of feed conversion, increase the quality of carcasses, decrease the broiler's market age and decrease the cost of rearing. Fenugreek (Trigonellafoenum), which has a medicinal plant and a strong spicy and seasoning type of sweet flavour, is one of the various phytogenics available (Blank, 1996).…”
