Vikrama; Arivuchelvan, A.; Jagadeeswaran, A.A study was conducted to explore the cumulative toxic effect and the effective dose of Allium sativum and Withania somnifera to analyse their effect on immunological and production parameters in native chicken. One hundred native chicks were purchased and divided into ten groups (T1 to T10) of ten numbers each.ArticleItem Open Access THE EFFECT OF GARLIC (ALLIUM SATIVUM) ON THE PRODUCTION PERFORMANCE OF NATIVE CHICKEN(Indian Veterinary Association Kerala, 2015-11) Chakravarthi, P. Vikrama; Arivuchelvani, A.; Jagadeeswaran, A.; Punniamurthy, N.; TANUVASRural native chicken, contributing nearly 30% to the national egg production, is one of the species where only few number of research studies were carriedout. The poor production potential of native chicken is mainly due to their genetic makeup and imbalanced nutritional feed. To improve the pro- duction performance of native chicken the present study was conducted by supplementing Garlic (Allium sativum) in different doses. As a preliminary research the phytochemical analysis of A. sativum bulb powder was carried out and it revealed the presence of alkaloids, terpenoids, volatile oils, saponin, aminoacids and protein. Forty native chicks were purchased and divided into four groups (T1 to T4) of ten numbers each. Tl group served as control group and T2, T3 and T4 groups were supplemented in feed with 0.5%, 1.5% and 3% of A.sat1'i/um bulb powder. The herbs were supplemented in the feed from 15th day of experiment to 4 months. Data on body weight and feed consumption was recorded at 4th, 8th, 12th and 16th week of age and the feed conversion ratio was calculated. The statistical analysis (one way ANOVA) of results revealed that the feed consumption of A.sat1'vum bulb powder treated groups was numerically higher in 4th week and 8th week than the control, whereas less feed consumption was noticed in the 12th and 16th week of age. Whereas the garlic at 3% (T4) inclusion have shown significantly higher body weight gain (137517 i 3.30) and better feed conversion ratio (2.84 1 0.01) than 0.5% and 1% of garlic and control group at the end of trail (16th week). The better performance of garlic may be due to the presence of allicin and aromatic oils which are believed to promote the digestion and energy utilization. It was concluded that the garlic will improve the native chicken production performances.ArticleItem Open Access Immunomodulatory Activity of Allium Sativum Against Newcastle Disease in Native Poultry Birds(Indian Veterinary Journal, 2016-05) Chakravarthi, P. Vikrama; Arivuchelvan, A.; Jagadeeswaran, A.; TANUVASPresent study was carriedout to explore the immunomodulatory activity of Allium sativum against Newcastle disease in native poultry birds. Five groups of fty birds were divided equally and T1 and T2 group served as negative and positive control whereas T3, T4 and T5 groups were supplemented with 0.5, 1.5 and 3.0 % of A. sativum bulb powder in feed from 15th day to four months. Vaccination was carried out on 15th and on 90th day using commercial oral pellet vaccine. Blood samples were collected on 15th, 45th, 90th and 112th day and HI assay was carried out. The results have revealed that A.sativum groups produced signicant HI titre than the control groups, hence it can be used as an immunomodulating agent in native poultry birds.OtherItem Open Access Performance of Vigova Super - M (White Pekin) Ducks Under Farm Conditions in Namakkal District of Tamil Nadu(TANUVAS, 2013-08) Chakravarthi, P.
