Abstract/ Executive Summary:

0.5% cinnamon of total feed intake has good impact on growth performance of broiler and antibody level against gumboro disease. Increasing amount of cinnamon is not always helpful for growth performance and antibody level of broiler. Low level of cinnamon (0.5%) in broiler diet decreases the cholesterol and blood sugar level in broiler, which is helpful for human body. 0.5% cinnamon group is also profitable than other treatment groups.

Keywords: Herbs, Antibacterial agents, Broiler ration, Antibiotic residue, Poultry meat

Location: Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka

Start Date: 01-07-2010

End Date: 30-06-2010

Program Area: Animal Health and Management

Commodity: Chicken

Objectives:

1. To study the chemical characters of cinnamon by proximate analysis

2.To find out the effect of cinnamon on the productive performance of broiler

3.To identify the impact of cinnamon on blood antibody, blood cholesterol load in broiler

4.To assess the profitability of broiler production.

Methodology:

A total of 250 Cobb broiler day old chicks (purchased from Kazi Farm Ltd.) were randomly allocated to 8 experimental treatments. Treatments: T₁ : 0.5% cinnamon of total feed intake T₂: 1% cinnamon of total feed intake .T₃ : 1.5% cinnamon of total feed intake T₄ : 2% cinnamon of total feed intake .T₅: 2.5% cinnamon of total feed intake. T₆ : 3% cinnamon of total feed intake .T₇ : Only antibiotics. T₀ (Control): No antibiotics, no cinnamon.

Funding Source:

1.	Budget: 2,00,000/-

Total Budget (Tk.) : 2,00,000/-

Achievement/Findings:

At the age of 28 days 0.5% cinnamon had significantly (p<0.05) greater body weight than the antibiotic and control group. The feed conversion ratio (FCR) of 0.5% cinnamon was significantly (p<0.05) better compared to antibiotic and control. Almost all treatments of cinnamon were significantly (p<0.05) higher antibody SP ratio for Gumboro and Newcastle disease compared to the control. In this research, 0.5% cinnamon was showed significantly (p<0.05) lower blood glucose level than antibiotic and control group. At 28 days of age, blood cholesterol was significantly lower (p<0.05) in 0.5% cinnamon than control but higher than antibiotic. There was no impact on edible part percentage of cinnamon. All treatments of cinnamon were significantly (p<0.05) lower E. coli population than the control. In this research 0.5% cinnamon was significantly (p<0.05) more profitable compared to the antibiotic and control.
