“…Similarly, Hossain, Begum & Kim (2016) also reported that no change was observed in the egg weight of laying hens fed diets supplemented with aged garlic extract by Leuconostoc mesenteroides KCCM35046. Whereas Khan, Sardar & Anjum (2007) found that laying hens fed on 2–8% dried garlic had increased egg-production intensity along with improved egg mass. Adding 1% garlic powder into laying hen diets increased egg mass from 52 to 60 weeks of age ( Abdulaziz, Khan & Rahi, 2016 ).…”

Garlic (Allium sativum) is an essential vegetable that has been widely utilized as seasoning, flavoring, culinary and in herbal remedies. Garlic contains several characteristic organosulfur compounds, such as diallyl sulfide, allicin (diallyl thiosulphate), γ-glutamylcysteine, and S-allyl cysteine (alliin) and ajoene, which garlic has beneficial effects on inflammation, oxidative stress markers, hypertension, hyperlipidaemia and endothelial function in vitro or in animal model. These bioactive molecules are also playing pivotal role in livestock and fisheries production apart from its application in humans. Supplementation of animal feed with garlic and its related products is consistent with the modern agricultural concept of organic animal husbandry. This review compiles the information describing the effects of feeding garlic and its extracts on selected performance parameters in animals (chicken, rabbits, ruminants, pigs and fish). This review may provide reference for scientists and entrepreneurs to investigate the applications of feeds added with garlic and allicin by-products for the improvement of animal husbandry and aquatic production.

“…The prepared diets were well accepted and tolerated by the birds with the best appreciation going to F1 (Moringa 2%) and F2 (Moringa 4%) formulations in general. The lower feed intake during the first week as also observed by [25][26][27][28][29][30] could be due to stress associated with the introduction of new feed. After the adaptation period, feed intake progressively increased from day 28 to 49.…”

In recent decades, the availability of sulphur in soil has become a limiting factor compromising plant growth and consequently affecting animal and human feeding. Moringa oleifera L. is known as one of the most useful multipurpose plants. It can be effectively utilized as food supplement and help in the management of nutrient shortage and sulphur metabolism stimulation because of its nutrient and sulphur content. The present experiment was conducted to assess the effect of Moringa leaf powder supplementation on growth performance, biochemical profile and sulphur metabolism stimulation of broiler chicken. A total of fifty-six broiler chicks of 21-day old (Cobb500) were purchased and randomly divided into four groups with two replicates containing seven birds each. Broiler starters were fed with the same starter diet; while at growth stage, four types of diet were formulated: F0 (Moringa 0%), F1 (Moringa 2%), F2 (Moringa 4%) and F3 (Moringa 8%). Chicks were fed twice a day and water was given ad libitum with the experimental diets till completion of the experiment. Collected data were analysed using ANOVA and were statistically significant if p<0.05. Significantly higher body weight was recorded in birds fed with F1 whereas feed conversion ratio was not significantly affected. No significant differences were observed in ash and carbohydrate content of broiler meat due to feed supplementation. The experimental diets did not considerably affect broiler chicken serum parameters, indicating no harmful or deleterious effect. Likening result to control, the consumption of Moringa leaf powder by birds significantly increased the synthesis of protein up to 30% and 38% respectively in the serum and breast meat, glutathione as well as the glutathione S-transferase activity. It may thus be concluded that, the inclusion of Moringa leaf powder in broiler chicken diet increases growth performances and metabolism stimulation through the synthesis of some sulphur compounds.

“…Garlic (Allium sativum) has been used as a spice and as a traditional remedy for thousands of years in many cultures. It has been shown to have antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, antiviral, antioxidant, anti-cholesteremic, anticancerous, and vasodilator properties, among other things (Khan et al, 2007;Hanieh et al, 2010). Garlic's most important active element is the plant chemical allicin, which decomposes fast to form a number of volatile organosulfur compounds with bioactivities in the body (Chang and Cheong, 2008).…”

An experiment was conducted to assess the influence of GGO on carcass features and sensory assessment of broiler chickens. 120 1-day-old (Arbo acre) birds were separated into five treatments, each with three replicates of 8 birds. Throughout the 8-week trial, clean feed and water were available at all times. NRC's basal diet was designed to suit avian nutritional needs (1994). A 0% GGO meal was given to the birds in treatment 1, whereas GGO levels of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 percent were given to the birds in treatments 2, 3, 4, and 5. As well as studying the phytochemical content of (Zingiber officinale) and garlic (Allium sativum) oil, carcass and organ features of birds were also studied. Zingiber officinale contains phenols (8.21%), alkaloids (5.12%), flavonoids (7.49%), tannins (6.52%), saponins (3.18%), streiods (2.38%), glycosides (0.18%), oxalates (0.07%), and phytate (0.07%). (0.02 %). Sativum contains flavonoids (10.67%) alkaloids (7.02%) tannins (4.72%) steroids (3.65%) saponin (2) glycoside (0.33%) oxalates (0.26%) and phytate (0.26%). (0.05 %). Dressing %, carcass and relative organ weights differed across treatments (P0.05). The liver, kidney, spleen, and other internal organs showed no signs of inflammation. GGO altered meat sensory assessment (tenderness, juiciness, taste, and fragrance) except meat color which was not significantly (P0.05) different across treatments. GGO may be fed to broilers up to 0.4 percent without affecting their health or performance.
