“…In the present trial, coriander powder supplementation level had no effect (P >0.05) on the carcass traits. This result was in agreement with Case et al (1995), Botsoglou et al (2002), Jang et al (2007) and Amouzmehr et al (2012), who reported that the use of herbal plants had no effect on the dressing percentage of broiler chickens. …”

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of different levels of coriander (Coriandrum sativum) seed powder and extract on the performance and carcass characteristics of broiler chickens. A total of 420 day-old broiler chicks (Ross 308) were allocated randomly into seven treatments of 60 birds per group. Each treatment had four replicates (15 chicks per replicate). The trial was designed with seven treatments, consisting of a control diet without coriander, this is, the control group (CG); three treatments, which included the control diet plus three levels of coriander extract in water (750, 1000, and 1250 mg/kg); and the another three, which received the control diet plus three levels of coriander powder (1.5%, 2.0% and 2.5%). Performance parameters were monitored throughout the experimental period. At 21 -42 d old, the inclusion of 952 mg/kg of coriander extract in drinking water maximized weight gain, while the feed intake of the experimental period (1 -42 d) was maximized at the coriander powder level of 1.2%. Feed conversion ratios improved with the inclusion of coriander powder in the diet throughout the experimental period. These results suggest that coriander powder in the diet and coriander extract in water could replace synthetic antibiotics and could be regarded as natural feed additives and growth promoters in poultry diets.

“…Similar findings with respect to increased FCR were reported by earlier researchers [9,10,12,18,20,21]. In contrary to findings of this study, some authors observed that the supplementation of garlic and neem leaves had no significant (p>0.05) effect FCR [14,16,[22][23][24][25][26].…”

“…These results are in agreement with earlier researchers [15,17,23,25,[27][28][29][30]. In the contrary with these findings, a significant increase in average dressing percentage with supplementation of garlic [18] and neem [9,11] was also reported by earlier workers in broilers.…”

AbstractAim: Present experiment was designed to study the effect of supplementation of garlic and neem leaf powder (NLP) on growth performance and carcass yields in broilers. Materials and Methods:A total of 210-day-old commercial male broiler chicks (Ven Cobb) were procured and randomly distributed in to seven treatments, each treatment had six replicates with five chicks per each replicate. Growth trial was conducted in a randomized block design comprising seven dietary treatments. T1 was served as control. T2 and T3 were fed with garlic powder (GP) 0.5, 1 g/kg feed respectively. T4 and T5 were given with NLP 1, 2 g/kg feed respectively. T6 was fed with 0.5 g/kg GP and 1.0 g/kg NLP. T7 was treated with 1.0 g/kg GP and 2.0 g/kg NLP. The body weight, feed consumption of individual bird was recorded at weekly interval and the body weight gain, feed conversion ratio (FCR) were calculated. At the end of 42 day, six birds from each dietary group were sacrificed to estimate the dressing yield and relative weights of giblet (liver, heart and gizzard).Results: Supplementation of garlic and NLP alone and their combination significantly (p<0.05) improved the body weight gain and FCR whereas no significant (p>0.05) influence was observed in carcass parameters like dressing yield and giblet yield (heart, gizzard and liver) in all treatment groups.Conclusions: Supplementation of GP alone showed poor performance, but when it was supplemented in combination with NLP there was improvement in performance parameters. These results indicated that the combination of GP and NLP can be used as alternates to coccidiostats for improving the performance. Such meat can be used as a designer meat as fetch higher price if marketed as branded item.

“…Highest final weight (290.2g) was observed in quails fed 3% PLMGPD followed by quails fed diet 4 with 280.1g, the lowest weight was recorded in quails fed diet 1 with 259.3g. This observation agrees with the views of Dieumou et al (2012) on the effect feeding ginger and garlic on the performance of broilers and Alagbe, J.O (2017) on the dietary inclusion of P. longifolia leaf meal as phytobiotic compared with antibiotics on broiler performance and contrary to the reports of Amouzmehr et al (2013); Botsoglu et al (2004); Kamal and Abo (2012) and Safa et al (2012). The higher weight recorded could be as a result of the synergistic combination of PLM + GLPD mixture which help to reduce disease pressure on the animals, thereby increasing the opportunity of the flock to achieve better FCR and improved performance.…”

A study was conducted to assess the effect of dietary supplementation of P. longifolia and garlic powder mixture (PLMGPD) on the growth performance, nutrient retention and egg quality of laying Japanese quails. One hundred and fifty (150) sixteen weeks' old laying quails were used for the study. Experimental animals which weighed between 240.4 to 246.1grams were allotted to five dietary treatments of 30 quails per group in a completely randomized design. The five treatments groups had diets containing PLMGPD at 0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0% dietary inclusion levels. The performance criteria were initial live weight, final live weight, daily weight gain, daily feed intake, feed conversion ratio, hen day production, nutrient retention and mortality while the egg quality characteristics includes egg weight, albumen weight, egg shell thickness, shell weight, egg yolk index, egg yolk colour and egg haugh unit. The feed intake, albumen weight, egg yolk index, egg haugh unit, protein retention, fat retention were not significantly (P>0.05) affected by the inclusion of PLMGPD. Significant influences (P<0.05) were observed for final live weight, egg weight, egg shell thickness, egg colour and mortality.The results of this experiment demonstrated that the inclusion of PLMGPD up to 3.0% has no deleterious effect on the performance and health status of laying Japanese quails.
