“…Similar results were reported by earlier researchers on supplementing turmeric in graded levels or in combination with garlic (Karangiya et al, 2016). However, some researchers showed improved feed intake on garlic supplementation (Patel et al, 2014). These differences might be due to the fact that in the present study control group represents ABGP fed group, whereas majority of researchers have compared garlic supplementation with basal diet only.…”

The study was conducted during 2019 at the Faculty of Veterinary Sciences & Animal Husbandry, Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences & Technology-Jammu, India to investigate the effect of dietary inclusion of garlic, turmeric and their combinations on performance of broilers (Cobb strain). 240-day old unsexed broiler chicks were procured, weighed and randomly divided into 5 dietary treatments (n=48): antibiotic (C), 1% turmeric (T1), 1% garlic (T2), 0.6% turmeric±0.4% garlic (T3), 0.6% garlic±0.4% turmeric (T4) replicated 4times (12 birds / replicate). The diets formulated were isocaloric and isonitrogenous. Experimental trial lasted for 42 days. Feed consumption of broilers on weekly basis showed non-significant variation during first two weeks, but at 3rd week, feed intake was higher (p<0.05) in antibiotic growth promoter supplemented group than garlic supplemented groups. Weekly body weight and body weight gain during the entire trial did not differ except at week 1. Average weekly FCR was similar (P>0.05) throughout the experimental trial of different dietary treatments, but was numerically better in garlic fed group. Weekly PER showed no difference. Average CMI response of broiler birds was statistically higher (p<0.05) in T1 than T4 with intermediate values in C, T2 and T3 at 24 hours, indicating that turmeric has immunomodulatory properties. But, at 48 and 72 hours, there was no difference found in CMI response. The mean values of cell mediated immune response showed no significant difference. It was concluded that turmeric and garlic powder supplementation (@ 1%) either alone or in combination may substitute antibiotics without any adverse effect.

“…Gonzales et al (2003) and Novel et al (2009) also reported longer intestines in males than female broiler chickens. However, other researchers obtained results that are in agreement with the current study indicating that garlic supplementation does not have an effect on gastrointestinal tract length of broiler chickens (Patel et al, 2017;Daneshmand et al, 2012;Tatara et al, 2008). In contrast, Al-Massad et al (2018) reported that powdered garlic promotes small intestine length compared to groups on garlic free diets.…”

“…Regarding the increased dressing percentage of GAE supplementation in diet of broiler chickens several researchers obtained results that con rm the current study (Eltazi et al, 2014;Oleforuh-Okoleh et al, 2014;Fayed et al, 2011). However, other researchers reported that garlic supplementation does not in uence the dressing percentage of broiler chickens (Patel et al, 2017;Kharde and Soujanya, 2014;Fadlalla et al, 2010;Dieumou et al, 2009). The present study shows an improvement in dressing percentage in birds supplemented with GAE when compared to the negative control, however it is statistically similar with the positive control.…”

In the poultry industry, growing concern about health risks is tightening regulations on the use of dietary antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs), raising interest in safer substitutes. The study investigated the phytogenic effects of drinking-water supplemented apple cider vinegar (ACV) and garlic extract (GAE) on broilers. The study used 390 Ross 308 broiler chicks reared in a deep litter, open house, within 2.3 m2 pen partitions. Treatments were randomly allocated in 2 (sex) x 5 (additives) factorial experiment replicated three times. Chicks started (days 1–22) on the same antibiotic starter diet, followed by grower and finisher (29–42 days) phase antibiotic-free diets plus untreated drinking water (Negative control (NC), antibiotic free diet plus ACV treated drinking water (T1), antibiotic free diet plus GAE treated drinking water (T2), antibiotic free diet plus ACV + GAE treated drinking water (T3) or antibiotic diet plus untreated drinking water (positive control (PC). Males had higher (P < 0.05) feed intake than females in both growth phases. Birds on the PC gained more (P < 0.05) weight than others. Birds on the PC consumed more feed (P < 0.05) during the finisher phase than T1, T2 and the NC. Birds on the PC had a lower (P < 0.05) grower-phase FCR than others, though with lower (P < 0.05) FCR during the finisher phase for birds on T1 and T3. Across sex, birds on the PC had the higher (P < 0.05) percent spleen weight than birds on T1. Across the sexes, birds on the PC had smaller proventriculus (P < 0.05) than on NC, T1, T2 and T3. Across the sexes, birds on the PC had lower (P < 0.05) gizzard weight than birds on the T2 and T3. Birds on the NC exhibited a lower dressing percentage (P < 0.05) than all other treatments. Meat pH was higher (P < 0.05) in males. In conclusion, in contrast to dietary antibiotics, except for increased dressing percentage, ACV and GAE did not improve broiler performance.

“…On the other hand, fenugreek cleared an elevating effect on BW and BWG, which come in agreement with Park and Kim (2015). Meanwhile, it not harmony with that results of Saki et al (2014) and Patel et al (2014). Our nding may be attributed to fenugreek controlling effect on potential pathogens in gut micro ora, thus move the animals from immune defense stress to increase absorption of essential nutrients, improving the digestive capacity of the small intestine and thereby helping animals to grow better, as mentioned by Hashemi and Davoodi (2011).…”

Broilers are frequently infected with Escherichia coli (E.Coli) bacteria, which often leads to the emergence of many diseases and high economic losses. Hence, the present study was performed to assess the comparative e cacy of dietary rosemary and fenugreek, under E.Coli-infection in broilers, via evaluation of growth performance, biochemical indices, immunological response and histo-morphological changes.Eighty Cobb broilers were allotted to four equal groups (n=20 chicks/group); control non-infected (CN), control infected (CI), rosemary infected (RI) and fenugreek infected (FI) groups. RI and FI groups showed a signi cant elevation in their body weight and body weight gain compared with CI group. Moreover, both groups revealed a signi cant decline in serum aspartate and alanine aminotransferase activities, as well as uric acid and creatinine levels. Signi cant decreases of total antioxidant capacity, catalase and superoxide dismutase activities were noted among CI chicks. Moreover, distinctly higher levels were evident in both RI and FI groups. Immunomodulatory markers assessment showed a signi cant increase in immunoglobulin G with a signi cant decline in interleukin-6 level in both RI and FI groups, with the lowest IL-6 value within FI group. Histopathological evaluations focused on the deleterious effect associated with E-Coli infection of broilers' liver, kidney, intestine, spleen, bursa of fabricius, and thymus. A partial histological improvement was noticed among RI group, and nearly normal tissues were recorded in FI group. Overall, these ndings suggest the ability of fenugreek to mitigate the adverse effects of E.Coli-infection on broiler performance and tissue pictures, through improvement of the chicken general health condition.
