Fenugreek Residue as Feed Additives for Commercial Broilers

Poultry scientists today are challenged to find out new alternative growth promoters possessing ¿gut health promotion, improving nutrient utilization and enhance immunity with no deleterious effect on animal welfare, environment impact and provide a safe livestock product to the consumer and at the same time the material should be from natural sources¿. There are products in nature like phytobiotic substances obtained from the plants and herbs having wide range of medicinal and growth promotional properties.There is limited evidence on the use of fenugreek seed in poultry ration and the use of GDFR as feed ingredient for poultry is lacking. Therefore, the present experiment was designed to study, the extent of fenugreek seed and GDFR inclusion to support growth performance in commercial broilers. The objectives of this study were as follows:1. To study the effect of inclusion of GDFR on the performance of commercial broilers.2. To study the cost effectiveness of GDFR supplementation.
