Description
Md Ahsan Habib and colleagues report a two thousand twenty-six feeding trial in Sonali chickens, a dual-purpose breed popular in South Asia. Plant-based feed additives, called phytobiotics, may replace antibiotic growth promoters. The team tested a commercial product given in drinking water.
One hundred twenty chicks were split into four groups for sixty-three days. Doses ranged from none to the highest tested level. The middle dose gave the best results, with heavier birds and better feed use. Meat yields rose, and some blood fat measures improved. Poultry farmers get dose-specific evidence for a residue-free growth option.
