Abstract
Aim:
The study was
conducted to evaluate the attribution of antibacterial and
antioxidant activity of methanolic extract of Cassia tora
toward its growth promoting effect in broiler birds.
Materials and
Methods:
A limit test was
conducted for C. tora extract in Wistar albino rats.
Phytochemical screening of methanolic extract of leaves of C.
tora was carried out. In-vitro antibacterial activity
was measured by disc diffusion method. 1-day-old Ven Cobb broiler
birds (n=90) were randomly allocated into three groups consisting
of three replicates with 10 birds in each group. The birds of
group T1 (Control) received basal diet, whereas birds of group T2
(Standard) received an antibiotic (Lincomycin at 0.05% in feed).
The birds of group T3 (Test) received Cassia tora extract (CSE)
at 0.4 g/L in drinking water in addition to basal diet. The
treatment was given to birds of all the groups for 6 weeks.
Antioxidant activity of C. tora was determined in blood of
broiler birds. Cumulative body weight gain, feed intake, feed
conversion ratio (FCR), dressing percent, and organ weight factor
were evaluated to determine growth performance in broiler birds.
Results:
Phytochemicals
in C. tora were screened. Sensitivity to Escherichia
coli and resistant to Staphylococcus aureus and
Pseudomonas aeruginosa was observed in in-vitro
antibacterial activity test. At the end of 6th
week, antioxidant activity reflected significantly
(p≤0.05) lower level of erythrocyte malondialdehyde and higher
levels of reduced glutathione (GSH) and GSH peroxidase in broiler
birds of group T2 and T3 as compared to broiler of group T1. Mean
cumulative body weight gain of birds of T2 and T3 were
significantly (p≤0.05) higher as compared to T1. Mean FCR of birds
of group T3 decreased significantly than group T1.
Conclusion:
Supplementation of C. tora leaves extract at 0.4 g/L in
drinking water improved growth performance in broiler birds due to
its antimicrobial and antioxidant activity. Therefore, it could be
used as an alternative to antibiotic growth promoter in poultry
ration.
