Description
Pigeon farming matters in Bangladesh, but Newcastle disease keeps flocks unproductive. Jesmin Mahmood and co-authors test whether vitamin and mineral mixes in feed can lift both output and vaccine response. Sixteen pairs of young pigeons were split into four groups: plain feed without vaccine, and three supplemented, vaccinated groups.
Weight, feed intake, and egg weight barely moved across groups. Egg production and feed efficiency did differ, with the vitamins A, D, E plus selenium group laying most. Antibody levels after vaccination were also highest in that group. Some immune organ measures grew with supplementation. The authors conclude the A, D, E and selenium mix supports both laying and vaccine response. They suggest targeted feeding as a cheap aid for small pigeon farms.
