Effects of Dietary Supplementation of Fermented Garlic Powder on Productive Performance, Hatchability, and Biochemical Blood Parameters of Layer Breeders

Abstract

treat vascular diseases such as hyperlipidemia, arteriosclerosis, and hypertension (Ried, 2016). It also has pharmacological effects such as antibacterial, antiviral, anticancer, and anti-aging activities (Amagase et al., 2001). Garlic is known as an excellent nutritional food because it contains various vitamins, minerals, and amino acids (Pandey, 2012). In particular, allin, a constituent of garlic, is converted into a physiologically active substance called allicin by intracellular alliinase, which stimulate lymphocytes to improve immunity (Borlinghaus et al., 2014).

Promising future of citrus waste into fermented high-quality bio-feed in the poultry nutrition and safe environment

“…Citrus waste is an inexpensive alternative feed resource with a good nutritional profile; however, it can be further improved by lactic acid fermentation ( Dowd et al, 1994 ; Zhou et al, 2019 ). Fermentation using lactobacilli is a novel technique for animal nutrition because it improves the nutritive value and digestibility of conventional and nonconventional low-grade alternative feed resources ( Sugiharto and Ranjitkar, 2019 ; Kabir et al, 2022 ; Lim et al, 2023 ). Lactobacilli (lactic acid bacteria) are gram-positive, acid-tolerant, catalase-negative, and aero-tolerant bacteria that are found in nature and include decomposed plants and dairy products.…”

“…In addition, the levels of many antinutritional compounds, such as phytic acid, tannins, gluten, and enzyme inhibitors, are reduced by the action of these probiotic bacteria ( Zannini et al, 2012 ; Zhao et al, 2016 ). Several studies have established that the inclusion of probiotic-fermented feed items in the diet is beneficial for improving growth, health parameters, and rumen ecosystems in cows ( Kabir et al, 2022 ), goats ( Qiu et al, 2023 ), horses ( Elghandour et al, 2018 ), poultry ( Lim et al, 2023 ) and fish ( Meidong et al, 2021 ; Yang et al, 2023 ).…”

Promising phytopharmacology, nutritional potential, health benefits, and traditional usage of Tribulus terrestris L. herb

“…As a result, it is becoming increasingly common practice to utilize phytogenic feed additives as performance enhancers instead of antibiotics [ 116 , 117 ]. T. terrestris L., is like a shrub found widely throughout China, Turkey, Korea, Japan, the western portion of Asia, the southern part of Europe, and Africa [ 118 ].…”

Turmeric (Curcuma longa): an alternative to antibiotics in poultry nutrition

“…Therefore, there is a growing interest in finding alternatives to antibiotics that can promote animal health and welfare without contributing to the development of antibiotic resistance ( Aderemi et al, 2017 ; Reulas et al, 2023 ; Soisuwan et al, 2023 ). Many spices and foliar meals of plant origin have been reported to have positive effects on the performance and health status of egg and meat-type chickens ( Aderemi et al, 2018 ; Alabi Olufemi et al, 2021 ; Lim et al, 2023 ; Ramachandraiah and Hong, 2022 ; Ruelas et al, 2023 ). Turmeric, a commonly used spice in many cultures, has been found to have potential as an alternative to antibiotics in poultry production due to its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties ( Lagua and Ampode, 2021 ).…”
