The present experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of adding graded levels (0, 0.1 and 0.5%) of garlic (Allium sativum) powder to the basal experimental diet on the growth performance of broiler chicks. One hundred and eighty (n=180) unsexed white commercial broiler chicks (Cobb-400) were randomly distributed into three dietary treatments of 60 birds/ dietary treatment and each treatment contained 4 replicates (15 birds/replicate). The dietary treatments were control (T1-basal diet only), garlic powder supplemented at 0.1% (T2) and 0.5% (T3) in basal diet. Daily feed intake, weekly body weight and residue left over were recorded to calculate the feed conversion ratio. The results revealed that dietary supplementation of 0.1% garlic powder (T2) significantly (P<0.01) improved body weight, body weight gain, feed intake and FCR as compared to birds supplemented with 0.5% garlic powder (T3) and control (T1). Thus, dietary supplementation of 0.1% garlic had beneficial effect on growth performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
