Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was conducted in Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, FANSVM, PSTU to study the effects of seven indigenous medicinal plants [black pepper (Piper nirgum), tulsi (Ocimum sanctum), peppermint (Mentha piperita), garlic (Allium sativum), black cumin (Nigella sativa), papaya (Carica papaya), cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum)] and two patent probiotics (SS Bio® and Poultrystar Sol® ) on the growth performance (body weight and FCR) in broiler. The effects of black pepper, tulsi, peppermint, garlic, black cumin, papaya, cinnamon, SS Bio® and Poultrystar Sol® on hematological parameters (TEC, Hb and PCV) and biochemical parameter (blood glucose) were also observed. One hundred broiler were randomly divided into ten groups (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I and J), each consisting of ten broiler. Group A was kept as control. 10% water extract of black pepper (seed), tulsi (leaves), peppermint (leaves), garlic (bulbs), black cumin (seed), papaya (leaves), cinnamon (bark) were administered orally to the broiler of group B, C, D, E, F, G and H, respectively. Broiler of group I and J received orally SS Bio® and Poultrystar Sol® , respectively. Black pepper, tulsi, peppermint, garlic, black cumin, papaya, cinnamon, SS Bio® and Poultrystar Sol® were significantly (p<0.01 and p<0.05) increased body weight and FCR up to the experimental period. TEC was significantly (p<0.05) increased at garlic treated broiler. After treatment with peppermint, garlic, black cumin, papaya, cinnamon, SS Bio® and Poultrystar Sol® , Hb content increased significantly (p<0.05) in broiler. Black pepper, tulsi, peppermint, black cumin, papaya, SS Bio® and Poultrystar Sol® treatment significantly (p<0.01 and p<0.05) increased PCV in broiler. Peppermint, garlic, black cumin, papaya, cinnamon, SS Bio® and Poultrystar Sol® caused significantly (p<0.01 and p<0.05) increased blood glucose. Tulsi decreased (p<0.05) significantly blood glucose. The present study reveal that indigenous medicinal plants can be used as alternatives to patent probiotics in broiler

Objectives:

The experiment was conducted to assess the effects of seven indigenous medicinal plants [black pepper (Piper nirgum), tulsi (Ocimum sanctum), peppermint (Mentha piperita), garlic (Allium sativum), black cumin (Nigella sativa), papaya (Carica papaya), cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum)] and two patent probiotics (SS Bio® and Poultrystar Sol® ) on the growth performance, hematological and biochemical parameter in broiler.

Methodology:

The experiment was performed in the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, Faculty of Animal science and Veterinary Medicine (FANSVM), Patuakhali Science and Technology University (PSTU), Barishal for a period of 28 days. The research was carried out during 6th November, 2017 to 3rd December, 2017. One hundred Cobb-500 broiler chicks purchased from a hatchery (Kazi Poultry and Hatchery Ltd.) were selected for this study. The broiler chicks were kept on a floor litter system. The broiler was reared in same management. Broiler chicks were randomly divided into ten groups (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I and J), each group consisting of ten (10) broiler. Group A was kept as control group received only basal feed. 10% water extract of black pepper (Piper nirgum ) seed, tulsi (Ocimum sanctum) leaves, peppermint (Mentha piperita) leaves, garlic (Allium sativum) bulbs, black cumin (Nigella sativa) seed, papaya (Carica papaya) leaves, cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) bark were administered orally to the broiler of group B, C, D, E, F, G and H, respectively with basal feed. Broiler of group I and J received orally SS Bio® (ACI Animal Health Limited, Bangladesh) and Poultrystar Sol® (Renata Limited, Bangladesh), respectively with basal feed. Growth performance (body weight and FCR) were examined on 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th day in broiler. Hematological parameters (TEC, Hb and PCV) were determined on the 28th day by the standard method as described by Coffin (1953). Biochemical parameter (blood glucose) was recorded on 14th, 21st and 28th day by the help of Glucometer. Collected data were statistically analyzed by Student's t-test by using the computer statistical package program of Microsoft Excel.

Achievement/Findings:

A large number of medicinal plants are scattered throughout Bangladesh. Poultry farming in Bangladesh is a very profitable business for both individuals and Entrepreneurs. There is huge demand of poultry products inside and outside of the country. Due to misuse/abuse of various chemicals/drugs, their residues are accumulated in the poultry bodies which can enter into the human body through food chain and various complexities develop in the human beings. Furthermore, frequent use of various chemicals/drugs increases the resistant population of parasites/microbes. But the food stuffs of poultry treated by the medicinal plants are not expected to produce such type of side effects.
