“…Similar findings with respect to increased FCR were reported by earlier researchers [9,10,12,18,20,21]. In contrary to findings of this study, some authors observed that the supplementation of garlic and neem leaves had no significant (p>0.05) effect FCR [14,16,[22][23][24][25][26].…”

AbstractAim: Present experiment was designed to study the effect of supplementation of garlic and neem leaf powder (NLP) on growth performance and carcass yields in broilers. Materials and Methods:A total of 210-day-old commercial male broiler chicks (Ven Cobb) were procured and randomly distributed in to seven treatments, each treatment had six replicates with five chicks per each replicate. Growth trial was conducted in a randomized block design comprising seven dietary treatments. T1 was served as control. T2 and T3 were fed with garlic powder (GP) 0.5, 1 g/kg feed respectively. T4 and T5 were given with NLP 1, 2 g/kg feed respectively. T6 was fed with 0.5 g/kg GP and 1.0 g/kg NLP. T7 was treated with 1.0 g/kg GP and 2.0 g/kg NLP. The body weight, feed consumption of individual bird was recorded at weekly interval and the body weight gain, feed conversion ratio (FCR) were calculated. At the end of 42 day, six birds from each dietary group were sacrificed to estimate the dressing yield and relative weights of giblet (liver, heart and gizzard).Results: Supplementation of garlic and NLP alone and their combination significantly (p<0.05) improved the body weight gain and FCR whereas no significant (p>0.05) influence was observed in carcass parameters like dressing yield and giblet yield (heart, gizzard and liver) in all treatment groups.Conclusions: Supplementation of GP alone showed poor performance, but when it was supplemented in combination with NLP there was improvement in performance parameters. These results indicated that the combination of GP and NLP can be used as alternates to coccidiostats for improving the performance. Such meat can be used as a designer meat as fetch higher price if marketed as branded item.

“…Laying hens fed with the AGE supplemental diets had higher blood lymphocyte counts and IgG and lower TC concentrations, which is in agreement with Ao et al (2011) who found that fermented garlic powder increased the lymphocyte counts and IgG and reduced TC concentrations in the broilers. Ao et al (2010) found a significant reduction in serum cholesterol concentration when the dietary level of fermented garlic powder was increased from .0 to 3.0% in the 41 weeks ISA brown laying hens.…”

The design of this study was to investigate the impacts of dietary supplementation with aged garlic extract (AGE) by Leuconostoc mesenteroides KCCM35046 on egg production, egg quality, odour gas emissions from excreta, excreta microbiota, haematological characteristics and fatty acids composition of egg yolk in laying hens. A total of 384, 54-week (ISA-brown) laying hens were randomly assigned to one of four treatments with eight replications per treatment and 12 adjacent cages as a replication. The experimental treatments were: (1) CON; basal diet, (2) AGE.05; CON + .05% aged garlic extract, (3) AGE.1; CON + .1% aged garlic extract, (4) AGE.2; CON + .2% aged garlic extract. No significant differences were observed in feed intake (FI) and egg production among treatments (P > .05). Laying hens fed with the AGE linearly improved yolk height at Week 3 (P = .02). The inclusion of .1% AGE had increased Haughunit (HU) at Week 4 (quadratic, P = .01). At the end of the experiment, AGE diet linearly increased yolk height and egg shell thickness (P = .01 and .03, respectively). No significant differences were observed in excreta gas emission (P > .05). The supplementation of AGE linearly reduced excreta E. coli concentrations (P = .02). Inclusion of AGE led to a greater lymphocyte and IgG concentrations (linear, P = .04 and P = .03, respectively), whereas blood total cholesterol (TC) was reduced by the AGE supplementation (linear, P < .01). PUFA: SFA was increased in AGE treatment at the end of the experiment (P < .05). In conclusion, the administration of AGE at a level of .1 and/or .2% can improve egg quality, blood lymphocyte, IgG concentrations and reduced excreta E. coli and blood TC in the laying hens.ARTICLE HISTORY

“…However, they created multiple complications, such as traceability in animal products and resistance to antibiotics in the consumer, which became public health issues (Wallace et al, 2010;Ao et al, 2011;Kirkpinar et al, 2011;Embuscado, 2015;). On these grounds, the use of all kinds of antibiotic growth promoters was banned in animal feed in Europe (Nkukwana et al, 2014a).…”

“…Plants and their metabolites, known as bioactive compounds, play a key role because of their feed additive attributes. These bioactive compounds, such as carotenoids, flavonoids, and essential oils, help to maintain animal health and productivity, and to produce safe and healthy chicken eggs (Windisch et al, 2008;Wallace et al, 2010;Ao et al, 2011;Embuscado, 2015). The primary mode of action of these active ingredients is inhibition of pathogenic microbes and endotoxins in the gut and enhanced pancreatic activity, resulting in better nutrient metabolism and utilization (Windisch et al, 2008;Grashorn, 2010).…”

Effect of <i>Moringa oleifera</i> (Lam.) pods as feed additive on egg antioxidants, chemical composition and performance of commercial layers

The present study was designed to investigate the influence of Moringa oleifera (Lam.) pod meal (MPM) on production, immunity, and functional food index of chicken eggs. Two hundred HyLine W36 layer birds aged 50 weeks, 1469 ± 46.63 g, were assigned to four treatments in a completely randomized design, with five replicates and ten birds each. Diets A, B, C, and D were formulated with the same caloric and protein levels, but with differing MPM dose levels of 0, 5, 10, and 15g MPM/kg finisher diet, respectively. Data for production performance, quality, and chemical composition of eggs were analysed by one-way ANOVA, and means were compared with Duncan's multiple range test. As a result of this study, feed conversion ratio (FCR) and egg mass (EM) were significantly decreased and recorded lowest in Group B, which was offered 5 g/kg above the basal diet. Bioactives such as β-carotene, quercetin, and selenium levels were increased (540, 121, & 72.21µg/100g of yolk, respectively), whereas cholesterol levels in egg yolk and serum were decreased significantly, that is, 201.87 mg/100g and 8.47 mg/dl, respectively. Serum biochemical indicators, including serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), glucose, creatinine and cholesterol levels, were lowered significantly. Proximate analysis of egg yolk showed that moisture and ether extract were decreased, whereas crude protein (CP), ash and minerals, sodium (Na), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and phosphorus (P) contents were increased. The outcomes of this study showed that MPM supplementation affects EM, serum biochemistry and bioactive compounds of the egg yolk positively. ______________________________________________________________________________________
