AAAJI:How old is the bird and if it has laying at what age did it start laying? Are you sure you didnt start feeding it on layers mash too early? Was there blood stains on the eggs it laid (if you took time to monitor and was able to pin point the eggs it laid)? |

Effect of Dietary Garlic (Allium sativum) Supplementation as Feed Additive on Broiler Performance and Blood Profile Abstract This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of incorporating garlic (Allium sativum) powder, as a growth promoter in broiler feed on growth performance, carcass characteristics and blood profile. Sixty three day-old commercial broiler chicks (Cobb) were reared in an open sided poultry house and divided into three groups of 21 birds each. The groups were assigned to three diets containing (0, 3 and 5%) garlic powder. Feed and water were offered ad libitum till the termination of the trial after 42 days. Growth performance parameters and blood parameters were measured. Diet with 3% level of garlic significantly (P <0.05 increased feed intake (3051.6 g), body weight gain (1688.7 g), body weight (1733.8 g) and achieved the best efficiency of feed utilization (1.81 kg feed for one kg meat). Dressing percentage showed no significant difference (P>0.05) between the various treatments. The highest breast weight was attained by feeding 3% of garlic (250g) and the lowest weight was attained when feeding 5% level (155g). No significant difference (P>0.05) in both bursa and thymus weights between the different treatments. Spleen weight decreased significantly (P<0.05) by feeding diets containing 3% (1.01g) and 5% (1.23g) garlic powder compared to 0% level (1.67g). The different levels of garlic has no significant effect (P>0.05) on total red blood cells, packed cells volume, total white blood cells and the differential count of white blood cells including neutrophile, eosinophile, monocytes and lymphocytes. It is concluded that the incorporation of garlic as feed additive at 3% level significantly enhanced growth and performance of broiler chicks without any side effects as detected by blood profile.

[quote author=FarmTech post=27105 .. That's the best.[/quote] I have planted some moringa based on your findings, that it has protein and can be fed to rabbits. I also planted some sweet potatoes for same purpose based on my findings. Experimenting what I learnt online. I apologize to my ogas in poultry for deviating the thread slightly. I bought very small quantity of broiler and white cocks yesterday though. |
Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by samshoz(m): 1:43pm On Oct 13, 2014 |

How long do I hve to feed starter feed to my broilers, someone advised I feed them starter for 6 weeks |
Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by Titiladeolu(m): 8:11am On Oct 14, 2014 |
chilet4cici: I don't advise starter for 6weeks,if you feed starter for 6weeks then when will you start finisher and when will you sell the birds? The best option is to feed them starter for 3weeks and finisher for the remaining weeks.. |
