Effects of using garlic (Allium sativum) and turmeric (Curcuma longa) powder on production performance and biochemical parameters of broiler chicken
Abstract
The goal of this study was to determine the effects of dietary supplementation of garlic (Allium sativum) powder (GP) and turmeric (Curcuma longa) powder (TP) as an alternative to antibiotic on production performance, biochemical parameters and economic utility of broiler chicken rearing. A total of 300 Commercial broiler chicks of Cobb-500 strain randomly divided into 5 treatment groups viz. T0 (Control), T1 (antibiotic), T2 (GP 0.5%), T3 (TP 0.5%) and T4 (GP 0.25% & TP 0.25%) having three replications consisting of 20 chicks in each. In this study, feed consumption (FC), live weight (LW) and FCR showed insignificant (P>0.05) difference among the treatments. Abdominal fat (%) significantly (P
