“…This was also corroborated by [33] which showed that the addition of Propolisethanolic extract and crude propolis increased the FCR, FER and PER in the supplemented groups when compared with the control. The findings of [34] who showed that were no significant differences (P>0.05) in FCR among all dietary ginger powder treatments which conformed to the result obtained in this study. According to [35] feed conversion ratio is between 1.2-1.8 for fish fed carefully prepared diets, and the results from the present study fall within this range.…”

Growth, haematology and histopathology are important indices in evaluating the health and physiological state of fish. These metabolic and health indices were examined in Clarias gariepinus fed with Zingiber officinale (ginger) roots-powder supplemented diets in 40-litre freshwater-filled plastic tanks. 120 C. gariepinus fingerlings (weight, 2.33±0.07g) were fed with 40% crude protein diets containing three concentrations of Zingiber officinale roots-powder: GRP1-1%; GRP2-2%; GRP3-3%, and control-0% ad libitum twice daily for 12 weeks. Significant differences (p < 0.05) occurred in the growth parameters except feed conversion ratio and specific growth rate. Survival rate decreased as concentration of powder increased. Differences (p<0.05) seen in packed cell volume (PCV), Haemoglobin (Hb), and Red blood cell (RBC), thus highest in GRP3: PCV (37.00±1.16%), Hb (12.37±0.37g/dl) and RBC (3.47±0.08 x 10 6 /l) and lowest in control: PCV (22.00±0.58%), Hb (7.37±0.20g/dl) and RBC (2.07±0.06 x 10 6 /l). Liver histology of control fish was normal, while fatty degenerations were seen in the treated fish. The histology of fish kidney was normal in all treatments. The study concluded that 1% ginger root-powder dietary supplementation in cultured C. gariepinus could effectively improve the metabolic activities, health profile and survival of the fish.

The study was conducted to investigate the combined effects of honeyweed (HW) and buckwheat (BW) supplemented diets on the growth, feed intake, serum lipid profile and blood parameters in broiler chicks. One hundred fifty (150) day old chicks (Cobb-500) were divided into five groups viz. T1 (Commercial control, CC), T2 (FF+10% BW), T3 (FF+10% BW +5% (w/v) HW powder), T4 (FF+10% BW +10% (w/v) HW powder), T5 (FF+10% BW +15% (w/v) HW powder) in complete randomized design with five (5) replications, each of which contain six (6) birds. The CC feed and the FF with HW and BW supplemented diet fed on broiler for 30 days. At the end of the study, the body weight gain, FCR and mortality rate were calculated. It was found that T3 (FF+10% BW +5% (w/v) HW powder) diet significantly (p <0.05) showed the good FCR, mortality rate and body weight gain. Interestingly, T3 decreased the serum cholesterol, triglycerides (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL), increased high density lipoprotein (HDL) and improves blood parameters significantly (p < 0.05). Our results suggested that this newly formulated feed T3 (FF+10% BW +5% (w/v) HW powder) could be considered as an alternative natural feed additive to hazardous synthetic antibiotics.

“…Increased eosinophil indicated response to foreign materials. Zomrawi et al (2012) reported that ginger root powder (Zingiber officinale) supplementation had no influence on platelet count and MCHC broiler chicks while the findings of Nworgu et al(2013) who fed basil leaf (Ocimum gratissimum) supplement to growing pullets reported decreased MCV values compared to the control. Table 4 shows the interaction effects between the treatments and inclusion levels of JKM on serum chemistry of finisher broiler chickens.…”

Effects of processing methods and levels of inclusion of Jatropha curcas kernel meal on performance, organ characteristics, haematology and serum chemistry of finisher broiler chickens

Three hundred 21-day-old broiler chicks were reared using a 3 x 3 factorial model in a completely randomized design with 10 treatment groups having 3 replicates of 10 birds each. The birds were raised on a commercial starter diet at the starter phase before being allotted into dietary groups in a 21-d feeding trial at the finisher phase. The interaction between treatment and varying inclusion levels of processed-fermented Jatropha curcas (L) kernel meals (JKM) on the performance of broiler chicks was investigated. Jatropha curcas kernels were subjected to three different processing methods, namely: raw defatted fermented meal (RDFM), cooked defatted fermented meal (CDFM) and lye treated defatted fermented meal (LDFM). Each meal was included at varying inclusion levels of 2.5%, 5.0% and 7.5% such that diet 1 (control) contained 0% JKM while diets 2, 3, 4 contained 2.5%, 5.0% and 7.5% RDFM, diets 5, 6, and 7 contained 2.5%, 5.0% and 7.5% CDFM and diets 8, 9, 10 contained 2.5%, 5.0% and 7.5% LDFM. Feeding differently processed-fermented JKM to these broilers did not (p>0.05) compromise the feed conversion ratio. The results indicated an improvement (p<0.05) in the weight gain of broiler chicks fed CDFM and LDFM at 2.5 and 5.0% inclusion levels respectively. There were significantly (P<0.05) elevated levels of alkaline phosphatase and creatinine in their blood serum. The kidney, lungs and proventriculus of birds fed CDFM showed significant differences (p<0.05) among the treatments. Therefore, finisher broilers could tolerate up to 5.0% inclusion level of LDFM.
