“…The use of clays in animal nutrition affects digestibility of nutrients, live weight gain and feed conversion rate positively [18] . In the literature research, there are few studies in which glauconite mineral is used as animal feed additive and it has not been investigated in terms of certain parameters examined in this study.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of using glauconite as a feed additive in broiler nutrition and its effect on fattening performance, intestinal histomorphology and biomechanical properties of bones in broilers. A total of 288 one-day-old male chicks were included in the study and they were randomly divided into 3 groups and these groups were divided into 8 subgroups. The trial continued for 35 days. The control group (C) was fed with basal ration while experimental groups were fed respectively with 1% glauconite (G1) and 2% glauconite (G2) added to the basal ration. The results showed that the use of different doses of glauconite in the rations did not statistically affect fattening performance. On the 21 st and 35 th day of the experiment, when histomorphology of ileum was examined, it was observed that villus height (VH), crypt depth (CD) and VH/CD ratio were not affected by glauconite addition. When histomorphology examination of jejeum was performed on the 35 th day of the experiment, it was seen that the villus height was statistically affected. The effect of glauconite on biomechanical properties of femur and tibia bones was not statistically significant. As a result, the addition of glauconite in broiler rations did not affect the performance parameters, biomechanical properties of bones and histomorphology of the ileum, but adversely affected jejunum histomorphology. ÖzBu çalışmanın amacı, broyler beslenmede glokonitin yem katkı maddesi olarak kullanımı ve besi performansı, bağırsak histomorfolojisi ve kemiklerin biyomekanik özellikleri üzerine etkilerini araştırmaktır. Çalışmada bir günlük yaşta toplamda 288 adet civciv (Ross 308) rastgele üç gruba (Herbir grupta 96 civciv bulunmaktadır) ayrılmıştır ve bu gruplar 8 altgruba (Her alt grupta 12 civciv bulunmaktadır) ayrımıştır. Çalışma 35 gün sürmüştür. Deneme guplarına basal rasyona ek olarak %1 (G1) ve %2 (G2) glokonit ilavesi yapılırken kontrol grubu (K) bazal rasyonla beslenmiştir. Deneme sonunda rasyona farklı dozlarda glokonit ilavesinin performans parametrelerine istatistiki bir etkisi olmamıştır. Denemenin 21. ve 35. günlerinde ileum histomorfolojisi incelendiğinde, villus yüksekliği, kript derinliği ve villus yüksekliği/ kript derinliği oranının glokonit ilavesinden istatistiksel olarak etkilenmediği görülmüştür. Denemenin 35. gününde jejunum histomorfolojisi incelendiğinde, villus yüksekliği istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur. Denemenin sonunda tibia ve femura ait biyomekanik özellikler incelenmiştir. Glokonitin tibia ve femur ait biyomekanik özelliklere etkisi istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunamamıştır. Nitekim, broyler rasyonlarına glaukonit ilavesi performans, parametreleri, kemiklerin biyomekanik özellikleri ve ileum histomorfolojini etkilememiştir fakat jejunum histomorfolojisini olumsuz etkilemiştir.

“…Unfortunately, scientists, governments and consumers have strongly opposed their usage due to concerns about anti-biological resistance and the accumulation of residues in animal products. So, various natural substances such as phytobiotics, spices, extracts, enzymes, clays and others were recommended as feed additives that improve intestinal health, feed efficiency, welfare, performance and environmental conservators (Ouachem et al 2015a, Byoung et al 2020. Bibliographically available results have generally been observed in studies using these additives alone and very little in mixtures.…”

“…These condiments are characterized by their richness in bioactive components which confer antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities (Prasad et al 2009, Hanieh et al 2010, Mahboubi, 2019. Moreover, kaolin is abundant clay in nature, cheap, recommended in poultry feed for its opportunistic effects on weight gain, feed efficiency and its antimicrobial and detoxifying effect on the digestive tract (Ouachem et al 2015a).…”

Background: The aim is to compare the effectiveness of 3% of natural preparations mixtures based on kaolin associated with garlic, ginger and/or their mixture on the performance, the cutting yield, carcass and bone qualities of broiler. Methods: 192 one-day-old Cobb 500 chicks were assigned to 04 groups of 48 four-replicate chicks (C: without addition; Kgar: 3% kaolin-garlic; Kgin: 3% kaolin-ginger and Kgg: 3% kaolin-garlic-ginger). Result: Results showed that the mixtures significantly improve body weight and feed efficiency at 42 days, with nonetheless a more marked effect for the Kgar group (BW: +4.5%; FCR: -5.5%). In addition, still in favor of the Kgar group, the same tendency was recorded for the yield of chicken ready-to-cook (+3.2%; P=0.02) accompanied by enhanced breast and thighs yields. In terms of quality, the mixtures significantly impacted the meat conservation criteria by reducing water-holding capacity by almost 50% and less abdominal fat deposition. Finally, although not significant, the indicators of bone quality measured (ash content and seedor index) appear better in chickens receiving mixtures. The results of this study show the interest of adding a mixture of kaolin and condiments in improving broiler performance, meat quality and bone characteristics.
