How to Grow and Survive without Zinc Oxide in Pig Production? A Comparative Study with STODI
During weaning, piglets are exposed to a range of stressors, all of which cause gastrointestinal and immune system issues. Post-Weaning Diarrhoea (PWD) is a multifactorial illness characterized by the frequent secretion of watery faeces, which can cause stunt growth, morbidity, and even death. STODI® is the most incredible option for ZnO to reduce PWD and increase pig growth performance in the first few weeks after weaning. STODI® is a polyherbal combination including Acacia nilotica, Andrographis paniculata, Holarrhena antidysenterica, Punica granatum, and Terminalia bellirica. This can lower the incidence of diarrhoea and promote the growth of the piglet.
Evaluation of Polyherbal Formulation at Different Dose Levels on Egg Production and Egg Quality Parameters in White Leghorn layers fed with High Energy Diets
Choline is an essential nutrient in the poultry diet. It plays a vital role in the metabolism and mobilization of accumulated abdominal fat. In layer birds, it helps in improving the rate of egg production, egg quality and prevents fatty liver syndrome. However, synthetic choline has lots of demerits that need to be addressed. To mitigate the drawbacks of choline, the present study was conducted to evaluate the impact of Kolin PlusTM, a polyherbal formulation (POH) manufactured by M/s Natural Remedies Pvt Ltd, Bengaluru, India, on the performance of the White Leghorn (WL) layer poultry birds. In the current trial, WL layer hens at the age of 41 to 55 weeks were distributed into 7 (G1 to G7) study groups having 6 replicates (20 birds/replicate) per group. All groups (G2 to G7) except the normal control group (G1) were supplied with high energy diet (HED).
