Abstract
An experimental
study in 180 day-old broiler chicks was conducted to evaluate
efficacy of herbal liver tonic & growth promoter products on
overall growth, performance and carcass quality parameters. Day
old chicks were randomly divided into three groups, control group
I was given no treatment while group II & III were administered
herbal liver tonic & growth promoter products Superliv DS &
Xlivpro respectively, from 0 to 6 weeks. A significant (P<0.05)
improvement in growth performance traits was observed in treated
groups. The results also indicated significant (P<0.05) and
notable improvement in livability, overall carcass yield & carcass
quality parameters. The administration of polyherbal liver tonic
formulations enhanced nutrient utilization and boosted overall
economy of broiler raising by reducing mortality, increasing
livability & carcass quality.
