Abstract

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of seabuckthorn (SBT) leaves, cake and pomace alone and in combination on broilers production. Trial was conducted in 192 day old chicks which were divided into 8 groups with 3 replications having 8 chicks in each. Chicks were offered conventional rations in control (T0) group and replacing 6,20,10,26,30,16 and 36 percent CP by SBT leaves, cake and pomace, leaves+cake, cake+pomace, pomace+leaves, leaves+cake+pomace, respectively.The feed intake, overall body weight gain and feed conversion ratio were recorded throughout the experimental period. The overall broiler performance did not significantly improved in respect of GW, FI and FCR by the inclusion of SBT leaves, cake and pomace alone or in combination in the feed. The inclusion of SBT leaves, cake and pomace in the feed had no effect on dressing percentage, mortality and serum mineral levels. From the overall study it was concluded that there was no effect of the different test feeds on the broiler production by feeding the sea-buckthorn leaves, cake and pomace alone or in combination.
