标题:Effect of Herbal Medicine Supplementations (Arsilvon Super, Bedgen40 and Hepa-cure Herbal Medicines) on Growth Performance, Immunity and Haematological Profile in Broilers
摘要:The experiment was conducted at Poultry Research center University of Agriculture Faisalabad to evaluate the Arsilvon super, Bedgen40 and Hepa-Cure herbal medicines on broiler performance, immunity and hematology. For this study one hundred eighty day old broiler chicks were purchased from local hatchery and were reared in a group for one week. After one week, one hundred twenty broiler chicks of middle weight range were picked up randomly and divided into 12 experimental units (10 chicks/each).These units were allotted to 4 groups A, B, C, and D such that A group served as control without any supplementation, group B was supplemented with Arsilvon super @1ml/L, group C was supplemented with Bedgen40 @ 0.5ml/4L, and D was supplemented with Hepa-cure @ 1ml/L in drinking water. Supplementation of herbal medicine exhibited significant (P<0.05) effects on weight gain, Feed Conversion Ratio and non-significant effect on feed consumption (P> 0.05). Supplementation of herbal medicines showed significant treatment effect against the Newcastle disease but non-significant effect against the Infectious bursal disease. Herbal medicines revealed significant effects on blood glucose and red blood cells, but showed non-significant effect on cholesterol, hemoglobin, white blood cells and packed cell volume. In conclusion, herbal medicine supplementations in broiler revealed positive effect on performance, immunity and hematological parameters.
