This
study was conducted to figure out the effect of 1% inclusion of three herbal (Moringa leaves
powder, Sumac fruit powder, Thyme powders and their
mixture) in the diet on broiler chick’s growth performance. A total of 181
a day-old male broiler chicks (Ross 308) were randomly distributed into five
dietary treatments with 3 replicates (12 birds/rep). The groups were Control
(no addition, T1), 1% Moringa (Moringa oleifera) leaves powder (MLP, T2), 1% Sumac (Rhus coriaria L.)
fruit powder (SFP, T3), 1% Thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.)
leaves powder (TLP, T4), 1% Mixture of Moringa, Sumac and Thyme leaves powder
(MST, T5). The birds were offered non-pelleted diets ad libitum from beginnig to end of the trail. Live
body weight, body weight gain, accumulative feed intake and feed conversion
ratio were recorded weekly. Moringa leaves powder (MLP), Sumac fruit powder
(SFP), the mixture of Moringa, Sumac and Thyme (MST) had significant
(p<0.05) effects on growth performance. Dietary supplementation of the herbs
had positive effect on live body weight (LBW) and feed conversion ratio.  The highest LBW was observed in MLP and MST
groups. In terms of LBW, however, there was no significant (p< 0.05)
differences for the birds fed with supplemented Thyme leaves powder (TLP)
relative to the control group during all total periods (0-42 d). Positive
effects was observed on accumulative FCR comparing to the control group and the
best significant FCR was obtained by using Moringa additive. However, there
were no significant effects (P<0.05) of treatments on accumulative feed
intake except the feed supplementation with
Thyme only when comparing
to control group and other treatments. As a result, Moringa leaves powder,
Sumac fruit powder, Thyme leaves powder, and
Mixture of Moringa, Sumac & Thyme leaves powder could be used as growth
promoter instead of antibiotics by 1% of supplementation in the diet of broiler
with no negative effects.

Moringa, Kekik, Sumak Tozları ve Karışımının Etlik Piliçlerin Besi Performansı Üzerine Etkisi

Öz

Bu
çalışma, üç tıbbi aromatik bitkinin (moringa yaprak tozu, sumak meyve tozu ve
kekik yaprak tozu) ve bunların karışımları) %1 oranında rasyona ilavesinin
etlik piliçlerin besi performansına etkisini araştırmak amacıyla yürütülmüştür.
Toplam yüz seksen adet bir günlük erkek broyler civcivleri (Ross 308), 3
tekerürlü beş gruba şansa bağlı olarak dağıtılmıştır. Gruplar; Control (T1), %1
Moringa (Moringa oleifera) tozu (T2), %1 Sumak (Rhus coriaria L.) meyve tozu (T3), %1 Kekik (Thymus vulgaris L.) tozu (T4) ve %1 Moringa, Sumak ve Kekik
Karışımı tozu (T5) olarak belirlenmiştir. Deneme boyunca hayvanlara rasyon toz
formunda adlibitum olarak verilmiştir. Canlı ağırlık, canlı ağırlık artışı, yem
tüketimi ve yemden yararlanma haftalık olarak kaydedilmiştir. Moringa tohumları
(T2), Sumak meyve tozu (T3) ve Moringa, Sumak ve Kekik karışımı (T4) broiler
civcivlerdeki canlı ağırlık ve yem dönüşüm oranı üzerinde önemli (P <0.05)
ve pozitif etkilere sahip olmuştur. Ayrıca, deneme süresinde kontrol grubuna
kıyasla, muamele gruplarında yemden yaralanma oranı daha iyi olduğu tespit
edilmiştir. Moringa ilavesinin yem tüketimi üzerine önemli bir etkisi (P>
0.05) görülmemiştir. Kontrol grubuna ve diğer muamele gruplarına kıyasla
k-Kekik yaprek tozunun yem tüketimine etkili olduğu görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak,
ticari broyler rasyonunda antibiyotik yerine büyüme faktörü olarak tek başına Moringa oleifera veya bitki karışımının
(Moringa, Sumak ve Kekik) kullanılmasının büyüme ve gelişme özellikleri üzerine
herhangi bir olumsuz etkisi olmadan rasyona katılabileceği anlaşılmıştır.
