“…The decrease in the abdominal fat and improvement in the carcass and non-carcass yield as concentration of onion bulb peel powder increases reveals that onion bulb peel powder may contain bio active compounds that enhance breakdown of abdominal fat and increase in carcass weight [43,44].…”

The study evaluated the effect of the powder of onion bulb peel waste (Allium cepa) as feed additives on growth performance, blood profile and carcass features of broiler chickens. A total of 150-day old Arbo acre strains of broiler chicks were randomly allocated into five treatments group with 30 birds in each treatment with three replicates of 10 birds each. The birds were reared on the floor of a pen partitioned into experimental units. The study was conducted in two phases; starter phase (0-28 day) and finisher phase (28-56 day). A basal experimental diet was formulated for the broiler chickens and varying levels of onion bulb peel powder was added as a supplement at 0mg/kg (control), 25mg/kg, 50mg/kg, 75mg/kg and 100mg/kg in diets 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Feed and water were provided ad libitum. The results obtained in this study revealed that there was significant difference (p<0.05) in feed intake, body weight, daily weight gain, feed conversion ratio, hematological and bio-chemical parameters, carcass weight, non-carcass weight, percentage of carcass cut-part relative to the dressed weight and percentage non carcass relative to live weight between treatment diets. Onion bulb peel powder at 100mg/kg enhanced growth performance, reduced total blood cholesterol, triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein, increased the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and improved carcass yield of the birds. Since the feeding of onion bulb peel powder up to 100mg/kg as feed additives did not constitute nutritional disorder or any adverse effect on heamatological parameters of broiler chickens, it can be concluded that onion bulb peel powder at this level of inclusion is good for broiler chicken production.

“…The birds are fasted for eight hours before blood collection. Using a 3 ml disposable syringe (BD syringe), blood is collected through the brachial vein and transferred directly into a sterile tube containing the anticoagulant ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) (Adeyemi et al, 2021). Blood samples were taken to the laboratory in a refrigerated tray containing ice gel in less than two hours from collection.…”

“…This is important because haemoglobin is essential for the process of hemopoiesis, which is the formation of blood cells that takes place in the spinal marrow. Adding a small percentage of onion peel powder to the animal feed does not affect its nutritional value, including its protein and Fe content (Adeyemi et al, 2021). Haemoglobin requires minerals and protein as precursors for succinyl Co-A to form Heme molecules.The protein needed in the hemopoiesis process is acidic.…”

This study aimed to determine the contents of food substances, total flavonoid active compounds, and antioxidant activity as a substitute for synthetic antibiotic feed additives given to broiler chickens. This study was conducted using a laboratory experiment using garlic peel powder as a material, an active substance content test using a quantitative flavonoid test, and antioxidant activity. Additionally, onion peels are used as a feed additive for broiler chickens to evaluate production performance and blood profile. The material used was 189 one-day-old commercial broiler chickens (unsexing). This study consisted of 9 treatments and 3 tests. The treatment used was T0(-): basal diet, T0(+): basal diet + antibiotic (zinc bacitracin 0.10%), T1: basal diet + 0.50 % garlic peel, T2: basal diet + 0.50 % shallot peel, T3: basal diet + 0.50 % onion peel, T4: basal diet + 0.25 % garlic peel and 0.25% shallot peel, T5: basal diet + 0.25 % garlic peel + 0,25% onion peel, T6: basal diet + 0.25% shallot peel + 0.25% onion peel, T7: basal diet + 0.17% garlic peel + 0.17% shallot peel + 0.17% onion peel. The variables studied were production appearance (feed consumption, body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, production index) and blood profile (haemoglobin, haematocrit, erythrocytes, leukocytes). The experimental design used a Complete Randomized Design, and the research data were analysed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), if a significantly different result is obtained, it is continued with Duncan's Multiple Range Test. The results showed no significant effect of treatment (P>0.05) on production appearance (feed consumption, body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, production index) and blood profile (haemoglobin, haematocrit, erythrocytes, leukocytes. Although the addition of garlic peel powder, shallot peel, and onion peel powder can be used as a feed additive, these three ingredients can improve the immune system in broiler chickens.

“…16,17 Exploring the possible dietary potential of this underutilized agro-industrial by-product would reduce the possible environmental burden. 17 Furthermore, ACS is rich in flavonoids, particularly quercetin, 17,18 which has intense antioxidant 16,18 and antiinflammatory properties. 19 It is well established that dietary flavonoids could alter fat [20][21][22] and fatty acid metabolism in animals.…”

BACKGROUND:The high polyunsaturated fatty acids content of rabbit meat predisposes it to oxidative deterioration, which often results in reduced product quality and shelf life. This fact highlights the need to improve the antioxidant status of rabbit meat. This study investigated the effects of dietary supplementation of Allium cepa skin (ACS) on growth, carcass, intramuscular fat, muscle fatty acids, cholesterol content, meat quality, antioxidant status, and sensory attributes of hind leg muscle of rabbits. Sixty-three, 28-day-old, male New Zealand rabbits (654 ± 25 g) were randomly allocated into 21 pens of three rabbits. The pens were randomly assigned to one of three dietary treatments -ACS-0: basal diet (BD) only; ACS-25: BD + 25 g kg −1 ACS; and ACS-50: BD + 50 g kg −1 ACSfor 56 days and then euthanized. RESULTS: Dietary ACS did not affect growth performance and retail cuts of rabbits. Muscle cholesterol was lower (P < 0.05) in ACSsupplemented rabbits than in controls. Dietary ACS lowered (P < 0.05) dissectible fat, intramuscular fat content, C14:0, C16:0, C18:0, C18:2n−6, and C20:4n−6 levels and enhanced (P < 0.05) C18:3n−3, C20:5n−3, C22:6n−3, and C22:5n−3 concentration. Dietary ACS increased muscle catalase activity in rabbits. Sensory qualities, malondialdehyde and carbonyl contents, and physicochemical attributes of hind leg muscle of rabbits after chill storage were not influenced by dietary ACS supplementation. CONCLUSION: Supplementation with 50 g kg −1 ACS reduced intramuscular fat and cholesterol content and improved muscle n−3 fatty acids without impairing the physicochemical and sensory properties of rabbit meat.
