An experiment was conducted to study the inclusion of <I>Aloe vera</I> and <I>Curcuma longa</I> and its combinations on production performance, viz., weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio, carcass characteristics and biochemical parameters for a period of six weeks with two hundred and eighty commercial, straight run day-old Vencobb broiler chicks. These chicks were randomly grouped into seven treatments with four replicates of ten chicks each. The treatment groups consisted of control (T<SUB>1</SUB>), 0.1 percent Aloe vera powder (T<SUB>2</SUB>), 0.2 percent <I>Aloe vera</I> powder (T<SUB>3</SUB>), 0.1 percent <I>Curcuma longa</I> powder (T<SUB>4</SUB>), 0.2 percent <I>Curcuma longa</I> powder (T<SUB>5</SUB>) and 0.1 percent of <I>Aloe vera</I> and 0.1 percent of <I>Curcuma longa</I> powder (T<SUB>6</SUB>) and 0.2 percent of <I>Aloe vera</I> and 0.2 percent of <I>Curcuma longa</I> powder (T<SUB>7</SUB>) included in the broiler diet. The abdominal fat percentage, breast and thigh muscle cholesterol showed no significant difference between treatment groups. The serum glucose, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides level did not differ significantly between treatment groups. Haemagglutination inhibition titre against Newcastle disease revealed significant difference (P < 0.01) between treatment groups. T<SUB>2</SUB> and T<SUB>3</SUB> showed higher titre value when compared with control. |
