Effect of dietary inclusion of Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis) and yeast (Saccharomyces Cerevisiae) powder on growth performance of broilers

Abstract

The purpose of this research work was to evaluate the Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis) and Yeast (Saccharomyces Cerevisiae) powder. A total of 72 (Arbor-Acres) day old chicks were used in this study. Four levels of an Aloe vera and Yeast powder at the rate of 0.00%, 0.50% (Yeast), 0.50% (Aloe vera), and 0.50% Yeast + 0.50% Aloe vera were incorporated into the basal diet for six weeks. Feeding period for all groups was lasted for 42 days. Results revealed a significant effect of Aloe vera and Yeast powder in feeds on mean body weights per broilers and mean feed conversion ratio per broilers in 5^th week (P<0.05) were significantly on feed supplemented with 0.50% Yeast + 0.50% Aloe vera powder. It was concluded from this study that 0.50% Yeast + 0.50% Aloe vera powder feed supplemented has a beneficial impact on the growth performance of broilers chicks.
