Escherichia coli infection is the major bacterial disease affecting the poultry industry and the continuous use of antibiotics in poultry farming has resulted in antibiotic resistance. So this study was planned to evaluate the use of an ecologically safe alternative to fight against infections. The leaf gel of the Aloe vera plant was selected based...

An experiment was conducted for 42 days to assess the effect of Moringa oleifera leaf meal (MOLM) on hematological and serum biochemical parameters of broiler chicks. A total of 150, day-old broiler chicks (Vencobb-400) were weighed and randomly assigned to five treatment groups in a completely randomized design with three replicates of 10 birds ea...

Background: Moringa leaves have wide range of medicinal value including antimicrobial property. Therefore, it could be an alternative of antibiotic growth promoters in poultry but the presence of phytate and other anti-nutrients can reduce the bioavailability of certain nutrients. Enzymes may reduce anti-nutrients effect, break down non-starch poly...

The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of aqueous Withania somnifera root (WSR) extract in broiler chicks experimentally infected with Escherichia coli O78 @ 10⁷ CFU/0.5 ml intraperitoneally. Clinical signs and mortality due to colibacillosis observed in infected chicks were mild and lasted for short duration in WSR extract supp...

The present study emphasizes the effect of LaSota vaccination on the experimental E. coli infection in chickens. 160 chicks, 7 day old were divided into four groups of 45 birds each in groups A and group B and 35 birds each in groups C and D. The chicks of groups B and C were given LaSota vaccine by intranasal route @ 106 EID 50 per bird at the age...

Aim: The aim was to investigate antibacterial activity of Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha), an Indian traditional medicinal plant against Escherichia coli O78, a pathogenic strain. Materials and methods: Two-fold serial dilutions of 20% aqueous W. somnifera root (WSR) extract were inoculated with E. coli O78 @ 1*10(7) colony forming units grown...

The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of Ocimum sanctum leaf powder on experimental Escherichia coli infection in broiler chickens. Day-old broiler chicks (160) were divided into 2 groups. The birds of group A were supplemented with dried O. sanctum leaf (OSL) powder in feed @5g/kg and the birds of group B were given feed witho...
