Abstract
Aim:
The present
study was carried out to evaluate the effect of supplementation
of garlic, ginger and their combination in the diets of broiler
chickens and assessment in terms of feed intake, growth
performance and economics of feeding.
Materials and
Methods:
A total of 240
1-day-old Cobb-400 broiler chicks were randomly assigned to four
dietary treatments each with three replicates of 20 chicks per
replicate (n=60). Four experimental diets were formulated in
such a way that control diet (T1)
contained neither ginger nor garlic. While, birds in group T2
and T3
were fed with diets containing 1% garlic and
ginger, respectively. Diet 4 (T4
group) contained a combination of 1% of garlic and
ginger. The feeding experiment was carried out for 42 days, and
different parameters evaluated includes feed intake, weight
gain, feed conversion ratio, gut morphometry, and economics of
feeding in terms of return over feed cost (ROFC) and European
Performance Efficiency Index.
Results:
Feed
intake of experimental birds in ginger and mixture of garlic and
ginger supplemented groups, i.e., T3
and T4
groups have significantly (p<0.05) higher feed
intake as compared to control. While, feeding of garlic have
non-significant effect on feed intake as compared to other
groups. A body weight gain (g/bird) was found to be
significantly (p<0.05) higher in garlic (T2
group) and ginger (T3
group) supplemented group as compare to control
and garlic and ginger mixture supplemented group (T4
group). Feed conversion ratio was significantly
(p<0.05) lower in ginger (T3
group) supplemented group as compare to other
groups. Mean villi length, villi width and cryptal depth were
significantly (p<0.05) higher in T3
group than rest of all three groups, indicating
increased absorptive surface area. ROFC was significantly
(p<0.05) lower in T3
and T4
groups as compare to control. However, it was not
significantly different between control and T2
group.
Conclusion:
On
the basis of the results of the study, it is concluded that
supplementation of garlic improves the performance of broilers
when added at the rate of 1% of broiler ration and can be a
viable alternative to antibiotic growth promoter in the feeding
of broiler chicken.
