“…November 2017 | Volume 5 | Issue 11 | Page 450 ported to be less toxic, residue free and thus considered as ideal feed additives in animal production (Hashemi and Davoodi, 2010). These herbal plants exert positive effects on growth and health of animals probably by their immuno stimulatory properties (Guo et al, 2004).…”

| A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation of Mint leaves (Mentha piperita) with or without enzyme treatment on blood chemistry, carcass characteristics and sensory attributes of broiler chicken production. 225 day old commercial broiler chicks reared together until 7 days of age. On 8th day, the chicks were individually weighed, distributed randomly into 5 treatment groups of 3 replicates with 15 chicks each for a period of 42 days of age. Birds in the control group (T1) were fed diets without additives, whereas in T2 and T3 basal diet was supplemented with raw mint leaves @ 1% (T2) and 2% (T3). In T4 and T5, enzyme treated mint leaves @ 1% and 2% were added to the basal diet respectively. At the end of experimental period, blood biochemistry, carcass characteristics and sensory attributes were recorded. The results revealed that there was no significant (P>0.05) effect on serum glucose, total protein, cholesterol, SGPT and SGOT levels of birds fed diets either supplemented with raw or enzyme treated mint leaves both at 1 and 2% levels when compared with the group of birds fed control diet. Further, various carcass characteristics viz. feather loss, evisceration loss, giblets, shank, head and dressing % in the groups fed raw or enzyme treated 1 and 2% mint leaves showed a non significant (P>0.05) difference compared to control group. Moreover, no effect (P>0.05) on various sensory attributes and the overall acceptability of meat among the various treatment groups and control group was observed. In conclusion, the dietary inclusion of raw or enzyme treated mint leaves had no negative effect on the health of birds as could be figured out from the normal SGPT and SGOT levels of birds.

“…There is thus an urgent need to continue the studies in order to develop efficient coccidiostat substitutes. An optional method, or one complementary to vaccination, is the use of herbal plants that exhibit antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-stress properties, exert effects on gut microflora, and show nutrigenomic effects and immune enhancement properties (Hashemi and Davoodi, 2010).…”

The aim of the experiment was to evaluate the anticoccidial efficacy of supplementing feeds with herbal extract blend containing garlic (Allium sativum), sage (Salvia officinalis), echinacea (Echinacea purpurea), thyme (Thymus vulgaris) and oregano (Origanum vulgare) extracts in broiler chickens experimentally infected with 170.000 sporulated oocysts of Eimeria acervulina, E. tenella, E. maxima and E. necatrix at 12 days of age. A total of 280 Ross 308 broilers were randomly allocated into 5 groups with 7 replicates of 8 chickens per replicate. The experimental dietary treatments were formulated by supplementing the basal maize-soyabean meal diet. The experimental design allocated the groups as follows: 1. uninfected birds and an unsupplemented diet; 2. uninfected birds and the diet supplemented with the herbal extract blend at a level of 1 g/kg feed (200 mg of each herbal extract/kg); 3. infected birds and an unsupplemented diet; 4. infected birds and a diet with the addition of coccidiostat diclazuril at a level of 1 mg/kg feed; and 5. infected birds and a diet supplemented with the herbal extract blend at a level of 1 g/kg feed (200 mg of each herbal extract/kg). Throughout the 42 days of the experimental period, performance parameters, mortality, lesion score, oocyst output, and serum carotenoid concentration were recorded. Dietary supplementation with the herbal extract blend increased growth performance to the level found in the group fed the coccidiostat and in the non-challenged groups. The number of oocysts per gram of excreta did not differ significantly between the groups fed the herbal extract blend and the group receiving the coccidiostatic supplement. The herbal extract blend had no effect on mortality, lesion score, with the exception of the duodenum, or blood carotenoid concentration.
