Abstract:
A study was conducted to assess the impact of herbal bioflavonoids on broilers growth performance at Veterinary College Bidar. Eighty (80) broiler chicks (Vencobb-400) were raised collectively and provided comparable management inputs throughout the course of a two-week acclimatization period. Birds were separated randomly into four even groups on fifteenth day with 20 birds each. Group I (Control) with basal diet. For Group-II, the basal diet supplemented with 1000 mg/ kg of ashwagandha-root extract, 1000 mg/kg of citrus bioflavonoids for Group-III, and 500 mg/kg of ashwagandha extract plus 500 mg/kg of citrus bioflavonoids for Group-IV from 15th day until the 35th day of age. Weekly feed-intake, Body-Weight (BW), Weekly Body Weight Gain (WBWG), Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), and dressing percentage were used to assess the growth performance. The results revealed that supplementing herbal bioflavonoids had improved BW, WBWG, FI, FCR, and dressing percentage were noted in supplemented broiler chickens. In conclusion these results were indicative of beneficial effects of these herbal extracts on growth performance in broiler chicken.
