Comparing the Phytobiotic effects of feed-grade and liquid Oregostim® on Performance characteristics, Haematology and Serum biochemistry of Finisher broilers
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Abstract: The phytobiotic effects of feed-grade and liquid Oregostim were evaluated and compared on the performance characteristics, haematology and serum biochemistry of finisher broilers. 180 Marshal Broilers at 4wks were allotted into three treatments, T0 (control), T1 (3g/10kg feed-grade) and T2 (3ml/10ltrs liquid), each was replicated thrice, with each replicate having 20 birds. Feed and water were given ad libitum, the feeding trial was for 4wks. The live BW for T1 (1.73kg) is not significantly (p>0.05) different from T2 (1.70kg), but T1 and T2 are greater than T0 (1.52kg). The BWG, FCR and mortality % for broilers in T1 and T2 are significantly (p<0.05) superior to broilers in T0 (control). The PCV for T1 (24.33 ± 2.33) is not significantly (p>0.05) different from T2 (23.30 ± 3.79), both are significantly (p<0.05) greater than T0 (21.33 ± 3.28), the [Hb] and MCV are also the same for T1 and T2, but are significantly (p<0.05) greater than T0 .There are no significant (p>0.05) differences among all the other parameters of performance characteristics (FI), haematological (RBC, WBC, MCV) and all serum biochemical indices across the treatments. Either feed-grade Oregostim (3g/10kg feed) or liquid Oregostim (3ml/10 ltr water) is recommended for use in finisher Broilers.
