“…Similarly, statistical analysis of the data did not show any difference between the relative gizzard weights of the birds of respective groups but showed 1% level of significance of relative heart, liver, spleen and pancreas weight using drinking water with or without supplementation of tulsi leaves extract (Table 3). This results are also in accordance with the findings of Hernandez et al [19], Alom et al [20] who reported no differences in the mean weight of proventriculus, gizzard, intestine, liver and pancreas in broilers fed of two herbal plants extract. Relative weight (g) = Weight of organ / Live body weight of bird X 100…”

This experiment was conducted to investigate the efficacy of tulsi leaves (Ocimum sanctum) extract supplementation in drinking water as a growth promoter in broiler chickens. A total No. of 30 day old Cobb-500 broiler chicks was purchased from local hatchery and after seven days of acclimatization chicks were randomly divided into two groups A and B in equal number. The group A was kept as a control and not treated. The group B was supplemented with tulsi leaves extract with feed and water. Weekly observations were recorded for live body weight gain up to 30 days and hematological tests were performed at 30th day’s age of broiler to evaluate the hematological changes between two groups. The initial body weight of groups A and B on 1st day of this experiment were 42.80±10.31 gm and 42.68±6.90 gm respectively and after 30th days of experiment final body weight were 1530± 33.07 gm and 1600± 44.80 gm respectively; the net body weight gain from 7th day were 1488±41.12 gm and 1551±39.29 gm respectively and economics of production was analyzed and found that net profit per broiler was Tk. 24.51 and Tk. 32.50 respectively. The treatment group B was reported statistically significant (at 1% level) increased 16.43% for live body weight than the control group A. The hematological parameters TEC, ESR and PCV value of treatment group showed significant difference, while Hemoglobin (Hb) estimation did not show significant difference from control group. Therefore, the findings of the study results suggest that supplemented with tulsi leaves extract with feed and water can improve the growth performance of broiler.

The experiment was conducted in Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, FANSVM, PSTU to study the effects of seven indigenous medicinal plants [black pepper (Piper nirgum), tulsi (Ocimum sanctum), peppermint (Mentha piperita), garlic (Allium sativum), black cumin (Nigella sativa), papaya (Carica papaya), cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum)] and two patent probiotics (SS Bio® and Poultrystar Sol®) on the growth performance (body weight and FCR) in broiler. The effects of black pepper, tulsi, peppermint, garlic, black cumin, papaya, cinnamon, SS Bio® and Poultrystar Sol® on hematological parameters (TEC, Hb and PCV) and biochemical parameter (blood glucose) were also observed. One hundred broiler were randomly divided into ten groups (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I and J), each consisting of ten broiler. Group A was kept as control. 10% water extract of black pepper (seed), tulsi (leaves), peppermint (leaves), garlic (bulbs), black cumin (seed), papaya (leaves), cinnamon (bark) were administered orally to the broiler of group B, C, D, E, F, G and H, respectively. Broiler of group I and J received orally SS Bio® and Poultrystar Sol®, respectively. Black pepper, tulsi, peppermint, garlic, black cumin, papaya, cinnamon, SS Bio® and Poultrystar Sol® were significantly (p<0.01 and p<0.05) increased body weight and FCR up to the experimental period. TEC was significantly (p<0.05) increased at garlic treated broiler. After treatment with peppermint, garlic, black cumin, papaya, cinnamon, SS Bio® and Poultrystar Sol®, Hb content increased significantly (p<0.05) in broiler. Black pepper, tulsi, peppermint, black cumin, papaya, SS Bio® and Poultrystar Sol® treatment significantly (p<0.01 and p<0.05) increased PCV in broiler. Peppermint, garlic, black cumin, papaya, cinnamon, SS Bio® and Poultrystar Sol® caused significantly (p<0.01 and p<0.05) increased blood glucose. Tulsi decreased (p<0.05) significantly blood glucose. The present study reveal that indigenous medicinal plants can be used as alternatives to patent probiotics in broiler. Asian Australas. J. Biosci. Biotechnol. 2019, 4 (3), 135-141

“…Then were chopped into small pieces by scissors and water was added at 1:10 ratio. The extract was prepared by mixing the leaves with pestle and motor and stored in a refrigerator at 4°C to maintain the active ingredients of the extract (Alom et al, 2015).…”

Background: ocimum sanctum (Tulsi) “Queen of herbs” is considered as sacred and medicinal plant in a lot of countries around the world especially India. Therefore this study was carried out to investigate the heptorenal protective effect of ocimum sanctum aqueous extract against gentamicin induced hepatorenal toxicity in chickens.Materials and Methods: A total 100, one-day old unsexed broiler chicks of a commercial breed (Cobb breed) were used in this study, the chickens were subjected to different treatments blood and tissue samples were collected at 5th week of age post administration, biochemical and histopathological examinations were utilized to investigate protective effect of ocimum sanctum aqueous extract on liver and kidney.Results: gentamicin recorded significant (P<0.05)increase in serum level of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), uric acid and creatinine levels when compared with control group, the administration of ocimum sanctum aqueous extract with gentamicin ameliorate their toxic effect, the group treated with ocimum sanctum aqueous extract only similar to control, while gentamicin induce significant (P<0.05)decrease in serum albumin, total protein and globulin levels when compared with control group, ocimum sanctum aqueous extract with gentamicin restore their toxic effect. The group treated with ocimum sanctum aqueous extract only as control. Gentamicin induce histopathological alterations in liver and kidney tissues by comparison with control group and ocimum sanctum aqueous extract treated group as control, while the administration of ocimum sanctum aqueous extract with gentamicin showing improvement in histopathological lesion compared with toxic effect induced by gentamicin.Conclusions: The hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity induced by gentamicin were ameliorated by aqueous extract of ocimum sanctum especially at dose of 2ml/liter in drinking water for 12 days.
