【 摘 要 】

A study was conducted to see the comparative effect of herbal product containing natural source of choline, methionine, lysine and biotin with synthetic amino acids on growth performance and hepatoprotection in broiler chickens. Seventy five healthy day old Vencob broiler chicks of nearly similar live body weight were equally divided into three groups, comprising twenty five chicks each. Group- I was positive control fed with the standard basal diet without any supplementation. Group-II was fed with basal diet supplemented with herbal phytoadditive (AV/CAP/18) @ 2Kg/tonne of feed (supplied by M/S Ayurvet Ltd., Baddi, H.P., India). Group-III was fed with basal diet supplemented with synthetic choline chloride (600gm/tonne), synthetic methionine (1kg/tonne), synthetic lysine (1kg/tonne) and biotin (150mg/tonne). At the end of sixth week,? significantly higher live body weight (859.36, 1788.47 and 1804.14gm) with more economical FCR (2.27, 1.87 and 1.81), carcass yield (464.33, 1304.46 and 1344.98gm) from supplementation of herbal amino acids with equal competence as that of synthetic amino acids was observed. More satisfactory results were observed among total serum protein, serum albumin, serum globulin with lesser but within range values of serum cholesterol? and triglycerides along with significantly lower SGPT? and SGOT values showing normal satisfactory liver function from supplementation of herbal as well as synthetic amino acids as compared to control group. The treatment group supplemented with herbal phytoadditive product have shown better serum immunoglobulin level. The gross and histopathological observations of Liver have shown necrotic and haemorrhagic lesions with fatty changes in control group, while group supplemented with herbal or synthetic amino acids were devoid of such lesions and were completely normal. It can be concluded that the herbal product (AV/CAP/18) can successfully replace synthetic amino acids (methionine, choline, lysine & biotin) in broiler feed as hepatoprotective and performance enhancer.?
