Effect of supplementation of Aegle marmelos (Bael) and Trigonella foenum-graecum (Fenugreek) on the performance of broiler chicks in arid region

Abstract

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of supplementation of effect of supplementation of Aegle marmelos (Bael) and Trigonella foenum-graecum (Fenugreek) on the performance of broiler Chicks. 300-day old Ven-Cobb 400 broilers chicks were randomly divided into 10 different dietary treatments as C i.e. control group was fed on basal diet while 0.50%, 1.0% and 1.50% of bael fruit powder and fenugreek seed powder in the basal broiler starter and finisher ration were supplemented in T1, T2, T3 and T4, T5, T6, respectively. The T7, T8, and T9 treatment groups were supplemented with 0.25%, 0.50% and 0.75% of both bael fruit powder and fenugreek seed powder in combination in the basal broiler starter and finisher ration, respectively. No significant effect of supplementation of Aegle marmelos (Bael) and Trigonella foenum-graecum (Fenugreek) on mean value of performance index and protein efficiency ratio in broilers was observed.
