Figure 1:
Influence of most effective medicinal plants/herbs and compounds on dressing and fat pad content percentage of coccidiosis challenged broiler.
a-fSuperscripts with different letters in same column varied statistically to each other.
Group-A = Control (fed on free antibiotic and anticoccidial diet), Group-B = Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis) herb supplementation, Group-C = Vaghayani/Hing (Ferulafoetida regel) herb supplementation, Group-D = Gadamri/Imli (Tamarindus indica) herb supplementation, Group-E = Compound-I and Group-F = Compound-II supplementation.
Figure 2:
Influence of most effective medicinal plants and compounds on the crude protein and fat contents percentage of coccidiosis challenged broiler.
a-fSuperscripts with different letters in same column varied statistically to each other.
Group-A = Control (fed on free antibiotic and anticoccidial diet), Group-B = Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis) herb supplementation, Group-C = Vaghayani/Hing (Ferulafoetida regel) herb supplementation, Group-D = Gadamri/Imli (Tamarindus indica) herb supplementation, Group-E = Compound-I and Group-F = Compound-II supplementation.
Figure 3:
Influence of most effective medicinal plants and compounds on the histomorphological examination of liver in coccidiosis challenged broiler chickens.
A) Micrograph of Liver of coccidiosis challenged broiler without any supplementation (Control) showing degeneration with occasional hyperplasia of Kupffer cell (circle) and irregular change in Parenchyma of liver (star).
B) Micrograph of Liver of coccidiosis challenged broiler supplemented with hing herb showing low degree of perivascular mononuclear cell infiltration (circle).
C) Micrograph of Liver of coccidiosis challenged broiler supplemented with imli showing low degree of hepatocellular Kupffer cell degeneration (star).
D) Micrograph of Liver of coccidiosis challenged broiler supplemented with Alovera showing regeneration (arrows) of hepatocytes and Kupffer cell.
E) Micrograph of Liver of coccidiosis challenged broiler supplemented with mixture of herbs (Compound-I) showing low degree of hepatocellular Kupffer cell infiltration (star).
F) Micrograph of Liver of coccidiosis challenged broiler supplemented with mixture of herbs (Compound – II), showing less degeneration of hepatocytes & Kupffer cell (star).
