Abstract

A 60-day trial was carried out to determine the impact of Adhatoda vasica as an herbal supplement on the performance, nutrient digestibility and blood profile of weaned pigs. 40 crossbred male pigs (Yorkshire × Landrace) with initial body weight of 10.21 ± 0.03 kg was distributed into 4 treatment consisting of 10 pigs each. On arrival, animals were quarantined for two weeks and fed basal diet which is adequate in all nutrients according to NRC (2012). Pigs in treatment 1 was fed basal diet without Adhatoda vasica leaf powder while those in treatment 2, 3 and 4 were fed same diet supplemented with Adhatoda vasica leaf powder at 200 g, 400 g and 600 g/kg respectively. A completely randomized design technique was adopted and the animals had unrestricted access to clean fresh water and feed. Quantification of phyto-constituents in Adhatoda vasica leaf powder showed that it contained higher concentration of flavonoids (102.1 mg/g) while steroids had the lowest concentration of 30.41 mg/g. Average daily weight gain was higher among pigs fed treatment 3 and 4, intermediate in treatment 2 and lowest in treatment 1. Average daily feed intake, feed conversion ratio and mortality were significantly (P<0.05) influenced by the treatment. Dry matter, ether extract, crude protein and crude fibre digestibility were influenced (P<0.05) by the treatment. Red blood cell, pack cell volume, mean platelet volume, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular haemoglobin, white blood cell, total protein was significantly (P<0.05) different among the treatment except for aspartate amino transferase, alanine amino transferase and alkaline phosphatase (P>0.05). However, all values were within the established range for healthy pigs. In conclusion, Adhatoda vasica leaf powder can be supplemented in the diet of pigs without compromising their growth and health status.

Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the impact of Dracaena mannii leaf meal on the growth performance and haematological and biochemical indices of Hubbard broiler chicks. 200 chicks were divided into four groups, each with a different diet. The diets were based on corn-soya meal without Dracaena mannii leaf (DMF), with DMF added at different amounts. The study found that DMF contained flavonoids, phenols, tannins, alkaloids, steroids, and saponins. The average daily feed intake was similar in diets 3 and 4, but significantly higher than in diets 1 and 2, with no mortality recorded. The diets significantly influenced pack cell volume, red blood cell, haemoglobin, white blood cell, leucocytes, and monocyte counts, but within the optimal range for healthy birds. The study concluded that DMF supplementation up to 600 g can optimize broiler performance without negatively impacting their health status.The study aimed to investigate the impact of Dracaena mannii leaf meal on the growth performance and haematological and biochemical indices of Hubbard broiler chicks. 200 chicks were divided into four groups, each with a different diet.

Abstract

The chicken sector is more vulnerable to antimicrobial resistance, the buildup of toxic or dangerous residues in meat and eggs, and environmental contamination as a result of the widespread and careless use of antibiotics in most nations. Natural solutions, such as medicinal plants, are required to address these issues. These plants have been shown to contain a variety of phytochemicals, including phenols, flavonoids, terpenoids, tannins, alkaloids, and saponins. These chemicals endow plants with a multitude of medicinal qualities. One of the many alternatives to antibiotics is Prosopis africana extract, which includes stem bark, leaves, roots, and their essential oils. Antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, anti-helminthic, antiviral, hepatoprotective, immune-stimulatory, and antimicrobial properties are among the many pharmacological activity of P. africana preparations. They are also an abundant supplier of vital minerals and amino acids that support enzyme function and provide defense against the effects of oxidative stress. Using extracts from Prosopis africana is the way forward for effective chicken production, environmental sustainability and food hygiene.
