Incorporation of herbal plants and vitamins in the feed of broilers are more acceptable to health conscious consumers. Selenium, an essential micronutrient, has various biological roles in poultry and it is needed for normal growth and maintenance in them. The current study was designed to study the combined effect of Ashwagandha and Selenium on growth performance and carcass traits of broilers. Day old chicks (n=60) were selected and divided in to six groups, with 3 replicates of each group, 20 chicks in each replicate. Ashwagandha and Selenium were supplemented in broiler chicken feed at different levels for different group. The growth performance of broilers were assessed in terms of weekly body weight gain and feed conversion ratio. The carcass quality was analyzed based on dressing percentage, drumstick weight, giblet weight, cooking yield and pH of fresh chicken meat. The data obtained in the present study were analyzed statistically by using Complete Randomized Design one way Anova procedure of SPSS version 20. Average body weight gain of broilers groups treated simultaneously with both the Ashwagandha and Selenium showed significant (P<0.05) difference when compared to other groups. The highest body weight gain was found during the third week of the trial and for the treatment group T 5 . The carcass traits were also found better in Ashwagandha and Selenium treated groups due to the synergistic effect of these dietary inclusions. The current study recommends an inclusion of Ashwagandha and Selenium in the broiler diet at level of 2.5 per cent and 0.20 mg/kg, respectively for the improvement of growth performance and carcass traits in broiler chicken.","PeriodicalId":8500,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Animal Sciences","volume":"39 1","pages":"129-133"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90945395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Total 99 fish (mean length 6.55 cm±0.04; mean weight 3.64 g±0.05) were used for this experiment. This experiment was carried out in triplicate using ten different concentration of clove oil (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 mg/l) along with control (without clove oil). For the experiment, 1 litre tanks were used as induction tank and 10 litre tanks were used as recovery tank. Clove oil is not soluble in water so stock solution was prepared using absolute ethanol in the ratio of 1:10 before experiment and directly added to induction tank and induction time was measured. The fish werethen transferred to recovery tank and three different stages of recovery were measured. Clove oil concentration 10 mg/l did not produce any stage of anesthesia while 20 mg/l produced only two stages of induction and recovery. As the concentration of clove oil increased from 30 mg/l to 100 mg/l, time of induction decreased and time of recovery increased. 100 mg/l was found to be an ideal concentration as it produced induction in less than 3 min. The result of this experiment suggested that clove oil can be used as an effective anesthetic on tilapia which produced minimum stress without mortality.","PeriodicalId":8500,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Animal Sciences","volume":"14 1","pages":"149-153"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74704565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
