The synergetic effects of some phytobiotics mix on growth, hematology and microbial loads of broiler chickens.

This study investigated the growth and health-promoting effectiveness of three medicinal plants (black cumin, fenugreek, and turmeric) on broilers. A total of 270 (Cobb 500) day-old broiler chicks were randomly assigned to 6 dietary treatments: basal diet (), basal diet + oxytetracycline (), basal diet + black cumin and fenugreek (), basal diet + black cumin and turmeric (), basal diet + fenugreek and turmeric (), basal diet + black cumin, fenugreek and turmeric (). BWG and ADG had no differences ( ≥ 0.

Protein supplement potential of Dodonaea angustifolia leaves by replacing atella on nutrient utilization and performance of Farta sheep fed natural pasture hay basal diet.

Background: Protein feed resources for ruminant animal productions are deficit in Ethiopia.

Objectives: To evaluate the supplementation effects of dried Dodonaea angustifolia leaves (DDL), dried traditional brewery by-product locally called atella and their mixtures on nutrient utilization and growth performance of Farta sheep fed natural pasture hay (NPH) as basal diet.

Methods: Twenty-five yearling intact male Farta sheep with average initial body weight of 14.
