ABSTRACT

The present study investigates the comparative effectiveness of different concentrations of garlic (Allium Sativum) and ginger (Zingiber Officinale) on carcass yield and selected histo-anatomical parameters of broilers.  A total of 80 one day- old chicks were divided into five different groups with each group having 4 replicates in a trial of 35 days. The first group was kept as control whereas, the second, third, fourth and fifth groups diet were supplemented with garlic at 0.25 and 0.5% and ginger at 0.25 and 0.5% respectively in the diet. At the end of trial all birds were slaughtered for analysis. Results revealed that carcass weight and carcass yields were significantly (P < 0.05) improved by garlic supplementation at 0.5% compared to other groups. Histo-anatomy revealed that the strength of tibia bone increased significantly (P < 0.05) whereas, the number of intraepithelial lymphocytes decreased significantly (P < 0.05) by the dietary supplementation of garlic and ginger irrespective of level. It is concluded that 0.5% garlic can be used as a potential replacement for antibiotic growth promoters in the broiler diet.
