Abstract
Studies on green tea and turmeric utilizations as natural additives in ruminant diets are still limited. In this experiment, randomized completely design was used to compare the effects of 4 experimental diets: T0 = control diet without green tea and turmeric powders; T1 = diet with 1% turmeric powder; T2 = diet with 2% green tea powder; and T3 = diet with 1% turmeric acid and 2% green tea powders on performance of local lambs. Based on the results, adding 2% green tea or 1% turmeric powders or their combination had no a significant effect (P>0.05) on feed intake (g DM/head/day) of local lambs confirming that their uses did not reduce diet’s palatability. The two herbal inclusions had also no significant effect (P>0.05) on average daily gain (ADG, g/head/day) and carcass percentage (%).
