“…At the final week of experimental period total body weight gain was found highest (1957.96 g) in treatment group containing 1g of probiotic, second highest (1891.40 g) in the group containing 0.5g probiotic in diet, third highest (1879.56 g) in group containing 1.5 g probiotic in diet and the lowest weight gain (1822.62 g) was observed in treatment without the inclusion of probiotic in diet. Similar result is also reported by Neupane et al (2019) in which significant difference (P<0.05) for weight gain with different level of treatment of probiotic in Giriraja and Sakini chicken. The growth promoting effect of probiotic is also in accordance with the result of Shah et al (2013) Carvalho (2005) also reported that probiotic in broiler chicken diets effectively improved body weight at market age.…”

The feed additive is one of the important components in poultry production to enhance the performance of birds. An experiment was conducted atNational Animal Nutrition Research Center, Khumaltar, Lalitpur, Nepal in order to evaluate the feasibility of probiotics as feed additives in New Hampshire chicken performance. The experiment was laid out with four treatments viz. basal diet which is concentrate mixture without inclusion of probiotic (Lactobacillus acidophilus - 50*109 cfu/kg, Bacillus subtilis - 1*109 cfu/kg, Bacillus licheniformis - 1*109 cfu/kg, Saccharomyces boulardii - 10*109cfu/kg) as basal diet with 0.5 gram of probiotic per liter of water , basal diet with 1 gram of probiotics per liter of water and basal diet with 1.5 gram of probiotics per liter of water under completely randomized design replicated three times. A total of 180, 8th week New Hampshire chickens were allotted with 15 birds in each experimental unit. Experimental birds were fed ad-libitum amount of formulated concentrate feed and clean drinking water with proper management practices.The highest weight gain was observed in treatment group provided with 1g of probiotic in diet (1957.96 g) followed by treatment group provided with 0.5 g of probiotic in diet (1891.40 g), 1.5g probiotic in diet (1879 g) and lowest in treatment group without probiotic in diet (1793.62 g). However there was no significant difference in total feed intake between all the treatment groups. Similarly, better feed conversion ratio (FCR) was found inbirds fed with 1g probiotic (3.59) followed by 0.5g probiotic (3.67), 1.5 g probiotic (3.72) and without probiotic in diet (3.87). Dressing percentage was also found higher (85.03 %) in birds fed with 1g of probiotic included diet than other groups of birds.

“…Prebiotics can affect host health in several ways, such as the production of metabolites like lactic acid, modification of microbial metabolism, and increased cell integrity of the epithelium ( Neupane et al, 2019 ; Abd El-Hack et al, 2021d , Abd El-Hack et al, 2021c ; Yaqoob et al, 2021 ). Unlike prebiotics, probiotics are microorganisms that can alter the host health by colonizing the host GIT and providing a more balanced microbiota ( Wenk, 2000 ; Khan and Naz, 2013 ; Murate et al, 2015 ).…”

“…According to this report, Sakini and Ghanti Khuile had higher egg production per hen per year as compared to the Puwakh Ulte while there was not much difference between Sakini and Ghanti Khuile. Neupane et al, (2019) found that adding probiotics to the feed significantly improved egg production, egg quality, and weight gain of Sakini and Giriraja breeds(P<0.05). El-dein et al, (2009) in their study observed that, in comparison to normally feathered ones, the frizzled hens significantly produced higher egg number.…”

Indigenous poultry (Gallus domesticus) is one oldest domesticated bird contributing 55% of total poultry production in Nepal. The indigenous breeds of poultry of Nepal are Sakini, Ghanti Khuile (Naked Neck), and Puwakh Ulte. Sakini is the most adapted indigenous breed of Poultry of Nepal, covering more than 50%. At present, various kinds of literature including journals, research reports, annual reports, proceedings, and master thesis regarding the egg production performance of indigenous breeds were reviewed mainly aiming the comparative evaluation of indigenous breeds of chicken of Nepal with respect to the egg production performance. Egg weight (EW), Egg production per year, Clutch per year, Hatchability, and Age at first laying were the parameters compared. The egg production per year of Sakini and Ghanti Khuile was higher than that of Puwakh Ulte. Also, the hatchability of Sakini was significantly higher than that of Naked Neck. This was due to high feathers in Sakini as compared to Naked Neck. Sakini matures earlier than others and start laying earlier. However, there was not much difference in the egg weight of the indigenous breeds. The clutch per year and of Sakini and Ghanti Khuile was also not significantly different. Sakini starts laying eggs earlier than Ghanti Khuile and Puwakh Ulte. There is a need for increased researches in the indigenous breeds besides Sakini and diseases are major constraints reducing the returns to farmers. Government and concerned agencies should step up and help the farmers to maximize the returns.
