Abstract
Simple SummaryThe present review updates the current knowledge about the beneficial effects of ginger and its derivatives as feed supplements to poultry feed, particularly its positive effects on the body weight, carcass traits, egg production and quality, reproductive performance, blood parameters, egg and meat quality and microbiological aspects as well as the economic efficiency.Poultry enterprises have sustained rapid development through the last three decennaries. For which reason, higher utilization of antibacterial, either as therapeutic or growth promoting agents, has been accepted. Owing to the concern of developing bacterial resistance among populations towards antibiotic generations, accumulation of antibacterial remaining’s in chicken products and elevating shopper request for outcomes without antibacterial remaining’s, looking for unconventional solutions that could exchange antibacterial without influencing productiveness or product characters. Using natural alternatives including ginger, garlic prebiotics, organic acids, plant extracts, etheric oils and immune stimulants have been applied to advance the performance, hold poultry productiveness, prevent and control the enteric pathogens and minimize the antibacterial utilization in the poultry production in recent years. The use of a single replacement or ideal assemblage of different choices besides good supervision and livestock welfare may play a basic role in maximizing benefits and preserving poultry productiveness. The object of this review was to support an outline of the recent knowledge on the use of the natural replacements (ginger and its derivatives) in poultry feed as feed additives and their effects on poultry performance, egg and meat quality, health as well as the economic efficiency.
Highlights
On the present day, the non-controlled utilization of antibacterial agents in poultry feed is exposed to critical problems
This study showed no clear variations in feed intake, feed conversion ratio (FCR) and body weight gain (BWG) among the treated birds
Data revealed that the birds nourished on mannan-oligosaccharide plus ginger essential oil (200 mg/kg diet) mixture showed an improved BWG from the first to 42 days of age when compared with control data
Summary
The non-controlled utilization of antibacterial agents in poultry feed is exposed to critical problems. There are critical factors that prohibit the usage of antibacterial agents such as the drug remaining in chicken meat as well as the drug resistance among bacterial populations. These outcomes have seriously controlled their usage in different nations owing to involvements associated with the spread of antibacterial-tolerant human pathogens and judicial achievement to control their usage in apparent many different nations [1,2,3,4,5]. Feed supplements could be either nutritive or non-nutritive compounds that modulate the nutritive material accessibility in the feed lowering the expense of feed
