Abstract:
The present investigation was aimed to evaluate the beneficial properties and optimum level of incorporation of Garlic powder in the diet of Marwari Goats by using in vitro analysis technique. Five treatment groups of dewbean straw based complete feeds i.e. T₀, T₁, T₂, T₃ and T₄ considered in the study were composed with 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2% of Garlic powder level for in vitro studies. The results indicated a significant (p<0.01) linear increase in the values of in vitro digestibilities and gas production with increasing levels of Garlic powder in the complete feed. It can be concluded that Garlic powder might be used as feed additive in dewbean straw based complete feed. Further, supplementation of Garlic powder at 1.5% level of complete feed was optimum level of incorporation.
