THE EFFECTS OF DIETARY SUPPLEMENTATION OF NEEM(Azadirachta indica), MORINGA (Moringa oleifera) AND JUTE (Corchorus olitorious) LEAF POWDER ON THE GROWTH PERFORMANCE AND HEALTH STATUS OF BROILER CHICKEN ISLAM, RABIUL The study was planned to determine the comparative efficacy of Neem (Azadirachta indica), Moringa (Moringa oleifera) and Jute (Corchorus olitorios) leaf powder on the productive performance, haematology and health status of commercial broilers. A total of 200 day-old Cobb 500 broiler chicks were reared in Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University Poultry Farm, Dhaka. Chicks were divided randomly into 5 experimental groups of 4 replications and each replication contains 10 chicks. These groups were allotted to five treatment designated as T 0 , T 1 , T 2 , T 3 and T 4 was offered basal feed without any supplementation and served as a control. Whereas, group T 1 , T 2 , T 3 and T 4 were offered basal feed supplemented with Neem Leaf Powder (NLP) 2%, Moringa Leaf Powder (MLP) 2%, Jute Leaf Powder (JLP) 2% and Doxivet (1g/L) respectively. The results showed that the weekly body weight gain (g/bird) in 4 th week was significantly (P<0.05) higher in T 2 group (718.5±2.50) than T 0 group (659.65±1.135). Final live weight (g/bird) was significantly higher T 2 (1664.30±6.29) than T 0 group (1610.80±3.31). Weekly feed consumption (FC) was insignificant in different group but total FC was significantly (P<0.05) lower in T 2 (2288.35±10.14g) than T 4 group (2337.50±2.39g). Weekly FCR was significantly (P<0.05) lower in T 2 group (1.38±0.01) than T 3 , T 4 , and T 0 group in 4 week .The overall FCR significantly was lower in T 2 (1.38±0.01) than T 0 , T 3 group. Dressing percentage (DP) and survivability were non-significanty (P>0.05) affected by the dietary inclusion of NLP, MLP and JLP compared to control fed broilers. However, higher DP had found in the T 2 group (70.80±.610) and lower survivability rate in T 0 group than others. There was no significant (P>0.05) difference in relative weight of spleen (2.13±0.12) and bursa (1.64±0.09) among the dietary groups. In addition, the present study showed that feeding dietary NLP, MLP, JLP and antibiotic had no significant (P>0.05) effects on liver, gizzard and heart weight except intestines which were significantly higher (p<0.05) in T 3 group (102.13±3.28) compared with T 0 and T 4 group. Dietary supplementation of NLP, MLP, JLP and Antibiotic had no no significant on the concentration of blood glucose, Cholesterol and hemoglobin. However slightly higher hemoglobin was found in T 2 group and lower cholesterol found in T 1 th Group. T 0 and T 4 group (183.67±8.21) compared to T 0 group. In conclusion, it can be said that 2% MLP can positively affect the productive and health status of broiler.

EFFECTS OF DIETARY SUPPLEMENTATION OF PAPAYA LEAF (Carica papaya) AND BLACK CUMIN (Nigella sativa) AS THE ALTERNATIVE TO ANTIBIOTIC ON GROWTH PROMOTION AND HEALTH STATUS OF BROILER CHICKEN HAQUE, MD. MONIRUL A feeding trial was conducted on 150 day-old Cobb 500 broiler chicks for a period of 28 days in the Poultry Farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka. The use of locally available feed ingredients has received particular attention as a viable alternative to the use of antibiotic and conventional feedstuffs. The aim of the study was to assess the efficiency of dietary Papaya Leaf (Carica papaya) Meal and Black Cumin (Nigella sativa) Seed supplementation on the production index and health status of commercial broiler chicken. The chicks were assigned to 5 treatment groups comprising of T 1 (Control), T 2 (antibiotic), T 3 (2% Papaya Leaf Meal), T (1% Black Cumin Seed) and T (1% of each Papaya leaf meal & Black Cumin Seed) randomly. Treatments were replicated thrice with 10 chicks per replicate. The results showed that dietary supplementation of Papaya Leaf Meal (PLM) and Black Cumin Seed (BCS) had no significant (P>0.05) difference on feed consumption, body weight gain, final live weight, dressing percentage of broiler compared to control group. Higher feed consumption found in T 5 (2212.60±11.320g) group compared to other groups. However, superior final live weight (1559±26.404g) obtained in T 1 group where birds fed with 2% PLM compared to those of antibiotic and control group. Improved FCR value (1.41±.026) found in T 3 3 group which is statistically non-significant (P>0.05) with the values of other groups. Dressing percentage is also higher in T (72.34±1.131) group where birds fed with 2% Papaya leaf meal. Dietary supplementation of PLM and BCS had no significant (P>0.05) effect on the relative weight of spleen in different groups. Birds supplemented with 1% Black cumin seed (T ) showed insignificantly (P>0.05) higher spleen weight (2.28±.169g). But there was a significant (P<0.05) increased on the weight of bursa compared to antibiotic and control group. Higher bursa weight 2.50±.408g was found in T 4 (2% Papaya Leaf Meal) group. The relative weight of liver, gizzard, heart and intestine of different groups showed that there was no significant (P>0.05) difference among the groups. The average weight of liver, gizzard and heart were 36.32±.796g, 35.11±.557g and 7.58±.133g respectively. The glucose and cholesterol concentration had no significant (P>0.05) difference among all groups but comparatively lower cholesterol level 169.11±5.308mg/dl was found in 2% papaya leaf meal supplemented group. In addition, the hematological parameters including Red blood cell (RBC), White blood cell (WBC), Lymphocyte and Packed cell volume (PCV) which were significantly (P<0.05) increased in Papaya leaf meal and Black cumin seed supplemented groups compared to antibiotic and control group. Diets supplemented with PLM and BCS had leads to significant (P<0.05) reduction in bacterial colony count compared to control group but statistically no difference with T 2 3 (antibiotic) group. Birds fed with 2% Papaya Leaf Meal supplemented diet achieved superior result. 4 3 A Thesis Submitted to the Department of Poultry Science Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE ( SEMESTER: July-Dec/2019

EFFECTS OF TURMERIC OIL (Curcuma longa) AS ALTERNATIVE FEED ADDITIVES IN BROILER DIET NIBIR, MD. KIYUM HOSSAION The study was conducted to investigate the productive performance and health status of commercial broiler chicks fed diets containing turmeric oil compared to antibiotic based diet. Experiment was done for a period of 28 days with a total of 150 day-old Cobb 500 broiler chicks were reared in Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University Poultry Farm, Dhaka. Birds were divided into five dietary treatment groups with 3 replications each having 10 birds per replication. The dietary groups were control (basal diet; no additives), antibiotic (basal diet + antibiotic), turmeric oil (basal diet + 0.125% turmeric oil), turmeric oil (basal diet + 0.25% turmeric oil) and turmeric oil (basal diet + 0.5% turmeric oil). Results showed that the body weight, body weight gain and total FCR were not (P>0.05) significantly different among the treatment groups. Abdominal fat, total cholesterol (P>0.05) significantly lower in the supplemented groups compare to the control and antibiotic groups. Moreover, turmeric oil to broiler chicks diets found relative weight of liver, heart, gizzard and intestine weight which had no significant (P>0.05) differences among the treatments. Although the trends of weights were higher in turmeric oil supplementing group compared to the antibiotic and control. This experiment also reports that there was reduction in the serum glucose concentration in turmeric oil supplemented group when compared to the control and antibiotic group. Cost of production per kg live broiler was lower in antibiotic and control group comparing to the turmeric oil group. With regards to profit, turmeric oil groups showed higher profitability compared to the other groups. As antibiotic free and safe meat, profitability of supplemented groups increased when sale price considered from Tk. 150 to 170 per kg of live birds. Taken together, the results indicated that addition of turmeric oil to broiler diet had positive effect on growth performance, lipid profile and profitability and no negative effect on meat yield, bone development, cost benefit analysis and carcass parameter. Bases on the results of the present study it can be suggested that the 0.25% turmeric oil could be potential feed additives in broiler diet.

Wheat is the cereal grain of choice for whole grain feeding. The aim of the present study was to determine the influence of whole wheat on production performances, internal and immune organs and hematological parameters. The experiment was conducted at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University poultry farm, to evaluate the productive performance of commercial broiler chicks fed whole wheat 2 3 1 4 0 2 1 2 3 group.
