    EFFECT OF DIETARY SUPPLEMENTATION OF L-THREONINE ON PERFORMANCE OF COMMERCIAL BROILER CHICKEN
    (POULTRY RESEARCH STATION COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE & A. H. ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, ANAND, 2020) Parmar Yashkumar S.; Dr. R. S. Joshi
    To study the effect of dietary supplementation of different level of L-Threonine with reduced crude protein level on performance of commercial broilers this experiment was carried out on two hundred and twenty four (224) straight run day-old commercial broiler chicks of a single hatch. The Chicks were randomly distributed to seven treatments, consisting of 32 chicks in each treatment. Each treatment consisted of four replicates with eight chicks per replicate. The experiment was conducted for a period of six weeks. The eight treatments were: T1 diet (Basal Diet + L-Threonine as per NRC requirement). T2 diet with 0.5% CP Reduction than basal diet with addition of 10% L-Threonine, T3 diet with 1.0% CP Reduction than basal diet with addition of 10% L-Threonine, T4 diet with 1.5% CP Reduction than basal diet with addition of 10% L-Threonine T5 diet with 0.5% CP Reduction than basal diet with addition of 15% L-Threonine, T6 diet with 1.0% CP Reduction than basal diet with addition of 15% L-Threonine and T7 diet with 1.5% CP Reduction than basal diet with addition of 15% L-

    EFFECTS OF DIETARY SUPPLEMENTATION OF DIFFERENT ESSENTIAL OILS AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO ANTIBIOTIC GROWTH PROMOTER ON PERFORMANCE OF COMMERCIAL BROILERS
    (POULTRY RESEARCH STATION COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE & A. H. ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, ANAND, 2019) Rajalekshmi C.; Dr. R. K. Mishra
    The experiment was conducted to study the effects of dietary supplementation of various levels of thyme and peppermint essential oils as an alternative to antibiotic growth promoter on performance of commercial broilers. Two hundred and fifty six (256) straight run day old commercial broiler chicks were distributed randomly to eight experimental treatments, consisting of 32 chicks in each treatment. Each treatment consisted of four replicates with eight chicks per replicate. The experiment was conducted for a period of six weeks. The eight treatments were divided as follows: T1 diet (control with no antibiotic and no essential oils), T2 diet with bacitracin methylene disalicylate (BMD) @ 50g/100 kg feed, T3 diet with thyme essential oil @ 15g/100 kg feed, T4 diet with thyme essential oil @ 20g/100 kg feed, T5 diet with thyme essential oil @ 25g/100 kg feed, T6 diet with peppermint essential oil @ 20g/100 kg feed, T7 diet with peppermint essential oil @ 25g/100 kg feed and T8 ration with peppermint essential oil @ 30g/100 kg feed.

    EFFECTS OF DIETARY SUPPLEMENTATION OF PREBIOTIC, PROBIOTIC AND SYNBIOTIC AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO ANTIBIOTIC GROWTH PROMOTER ON PERFORMANCE OF COMMERCIAL BROILERS
    (POULTRY RESEARCH STATION COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE & A. H. ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, ANAND, 2019) Patel Ajaykumar; Dr. F. P. Savaliya
    The experiment was conducted to study the effects of dietary supplementation of prebiotic, probiotic and synbiotic as an alternative to antibiotic growth promoter on performance of commercial broilers. Two hundred and twenty four (224) straight run day-old commercial broiler chicks were distributed randomly to seven treatment groups, each treatment group consisted of four replicates, each of 8 chicks leading to 32 chicks per treatment. The experiment was conducted for a period of six weeks. The seven treatments were divided as follows: T1 diet was kept as control (without antibiotic and without prebiotic, probiotic and synbiotic). T2 diet contained bacitracin methylene disalicylate (BMD) as AGP @ 50g/100 kg feed, T3 diet contained prebiotic [Mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS) @ 0.05%], T4 diet contained probiotic-1 (Lactobacillus and Saccharomyces spp. @ 0.05%), T5 diet contained probiotic-2 (Clostridium and Bacillus spp. @ 0.05%), T6 diet contained synbiotic-1 (MOS @ 0.05% + Lactobacillus and Saccharomyces spp. @ and T7 diet contained synbiotic-2 (MOS @ 0.05% + Clostridium and Bacillus spp. @ 0.05%).
