“…Allicin (the active compound produced by garlic) may reduce the levels of serum cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL (Alder and Holub, 1997). Mottaghitalab and Taraz (2002) concluded that diets containing garlic powder has potential as feed additives, which may be beneficial in reducing serum and egg cholesterol in hens. Khan et al (2008) also reported that feed consumption, feed efficiency, egg weight and egg mass were not affected over 6 weeks when 0, 2, 6 and 8% dietary garlic powder was fed to the laying hens.…”

Problem statement:In trying to finding phytogenic antibiotic-substitutes this study was done and effects of adding graded levels of Medicinal Herbs (MH) including garlic (Allium sativum) and thyme (Thymus vulgaris) to laying hens' diet on productive performance investigated. Approach: A total number of 108 Lohmann LSL-Lite hens after production peak were randomly divided in 18 cages (n = 6). Three iso-energetic and iso-nitrogenous experimental diets (ME = 2720 Kcal Kg ) including three levels (0, 1 and 2 g kg) of ground mixture of garlic and thyme (1:1) were fed to hens with 6 replicates per diet during 6 week trial period. Collected data of Feed Intake (FI), Egg Production (EP), Egg Mass (EM) and calculated Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) as well as egg traits were analyzed based on completely randomized design using GLM procedure of SAS. Results: Dietary treatment did not have significant effect on EP, EM and FCR in laying hens (p>0.05). Dietary inclusion of MH decreased FI in weeks 1-6 (p≤0.05). Including diet with 0.1% MP improved means of egg weight (g) comparing to the other two experimental diets. Adding 0.2% MH to diet increased egg yolk color as well as blood lymphocyte counts and decreased egg shell weight comparing to other dietary treatments (p≤0.05). Conclusion: In conclusion, dietary inclusion of garlic and thyme can have beneficial effects on performance of laying hens in terms of improving egg weight and yolk color.

“…This plant is endowed with antibiotic, anticancer, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic, hypo-cholestrolemic and cardiovascular protecting effects (Reuter 1996). Although diet comprising of garlic powder has been described as having beneficial effects on body metabolites et al., et al, et al et al, (Mottaghitalab and Taraz, 2002) and also imposes positive effects on haematological parameters (Kung-chi, 2006) in poultry birds. Thus this study is designed to determine the effect of dietary garlic supplementation on growth performance, blood profile, carcass characteristics and cost benefit of broiler chicken…”

Poultry scientists have been charged to opt for natural feed supplements to develop ideal, safe and cost effective feeds as against the synthetic ones. Thus, a 56 day feeding trial was conducted to determine the effect of garlic bulb meal (GBM) as a natural feed additive on growth performance, blood profile, carcass characteristics and cost benefit of broiler chicken. A total of 150, one day old broiler chicks, were randomly allotted into four dietary treatments with three replicate of 12 birds each in a completely randomized design. Four diets were compounded to contain 0, 1, 5, 10 g/kg GBM respectively. Parameters assessed were feed intake, weight gain, feed conversion ratio, haematological, serum biochemical indices, carcass and cost benefits. Results showed that, GBM based diet significantly (P<0.05) influenced the feed conversion ratio across the dietary treatments as birds in D recorded the lowest FCR (1.64) values. The GBM supplementation groups had improved haematological parameters across the dietary treatments most especially in PCV (23.33 - 36.00%), Hb (7.66– 12.06 g/dL) and RBC (2.15 – 3.69 × 103 iu/L) values. Serum biochemical indices of broiler chicken observed in this study increased across the dietary treatments as GBM inclusion levels increased. Birds fed 5g/kg (13.66 and 4.10 g/L) and 10g/kg (14.13 and 4.23 g/L) GBM based diet recorded the highest total protein and globulin values. GBM supplemental diet had no (P>0.05) effect on carcass characteristics of broiler chicken except the spleen. The spleen (0.09 – 0.23%) of the experimental birds increased across the dietary treatments as GBM inclusion levels increased. It was therefore concluded that the garlic powder supplemented at 1g/kg in the diet of broiler chicken supported optimal performance of the birds. Les scientifiques avicoles ont été chargés d'opter pour des compléments alimentaires naturels pour développer des aliments idéaux, sûrs et rentables par rapport aux aliments synthétiques. Ainsi, un essai d'alimentation de 56 jours a été mené pour déterminer l'effet de la farine de bulbes d'ail (FBA) en tant qu'additif alimentaire naturel sur les performances de croissance, le profil sanguin, les caractéristiques de la carcasse et le rapport coût-avantage du poulet à griller. Un total de 150 poussins de chair âgés d'un jour ont été répartis au hasard dans quatre traitements diététiques avec trois répétitions de 12 oiseaux chacune dans une conception entièrement randomisée. Quatre régimes ont été composés pour contenir respectivement 0, 1, 5, 10 g/kg de FBA. Les paramètres évalués étaient l'apport alimentaire, le gain de poids, l'indice de conversion alimentaire, les indices hématologiques et biochimiques sériques, la carcasse et les avantages en termes de coûts. Les résultats ont montré que le régime alimentaire à base de FBA influençait de manière significative (P<0,05) le taux de conversion alimentaire à travers les traitements diététiques, car les oiseaux de D2 enregistraient les valeurs FCR les plus basses (1,64). Les groupes de supplémentation en FBA présentaient des paramètres hématologiques améliorés dans tous les traitements diététiques, en particulier dans les valeurs PCV (23,33 - 36,00%), Hb (7,66 - 12,06 g/dL) et RBC (2,15 - 3,69 × 103 ui/L). Les indices biochimiques sériques du poulet à griller observés dans cette étude ont augmenté à travers les traitements diététiques à mesure que les niveaux d'inclusion de FBAaugmentaient. Les oiseaux nourris avec un régime à base de FBA de 5 g/kg (13,66 et 4,10 g/L) et 10 g/kg (14,13 et 4,23 g/L) ont enregistré les valeurs de protéines totales et de globuline les plus élevées. Le régime alimentaire complémentaire FBA n'a eu aucun effet (P> 0,05) sur les caractéristiques de la carcasse du poulet à griller, à l'exception de la rate. La rate (0,09 à 0,23 %) des oiseaux expérimentaux a augmenté au cours des traitements diététiques à mesure que les niveaux d'inclusion de FBAaugmentaient. Il a donc été conclu que la poudre d'ail supplémentée à 1 g/kg dans l'alimentation des poulets à griller favorisait les performances optimales des oiseaux.
