EFFECT OF LEAF EXTRACT ON THE PERFORMANCE AND SOME BLOOD PARAMETERS OF BOILER CHICKEN-FINISHER

ABSTRACT

The study was conducted to know the effect of leaf extracts bitter leaf, Awolowo leaf scent leaf and bridelia leaf on the performance and some blood parameters of broilers finisher chicken. A total of one hundred and thirty unsexed Marshall` broilers chicken finisher were used during the course of this study which lasted for 4 weeks.

They were randomly selected and assigned to five treatment growth. The first treatment senled as control with no leaf extracts. Each treatment was replicated three times with nine (9) birds per replicate. Feed and water served adlititum. Data collected were subsectted to one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and mean comparison was made using Duncan’s multiple range test. The result of the study revealed that weight gain, feed intake, feed: gain ratio and water intake of the birds were not significantly (P>0.05) different from the various treatments.

The PCV, Neutrophil and lymphocyte was observe to be lower in control when compared to other treatments, this can be attributed to the fact that the leaf extract tend to favour blood parameter. However, the result was different in biochemical parameters which intake that cholesterol, glucose, Trighyceride, LDL and HDL was tend to be higher than other treatments. The leaf extract have effect on the treatments. This study indicate that these aforementioned leaf extract can greatly reduce the level of cholesterol, glucose Trighyceride, LOL and HLD which suggest that it will be beneficial to human inn arresting some aliment such as stroke, heart disease.

CHAPTER ONE

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The utilization of leaves and leaf extracts in animal production is gradually being accepted.

Some leaf extracts have shown to have some appetizing and digestion stimulating properties, some of the leaf extracts have also been shown to have anti-parasitic, anti-diarrhoeric, anti-microbial, antidiabetic and some other beneficial properties. According to Ezekweusils et al (2004), when some of these plant leaves are crushed, the leaf juice is used to treat stomach pain, convulsion, catarrh and diabetic in human being. It is cleared that some of the agents contained in these leaf extracts are used in cure of fever. (Agomo, 1992) Some of the leaves are burnt to repel mosquitoes. It is possible that water extracts of some of these plant leaves may have similar beneficial effect on poultry.

Some of the common plant leaves available in Benin City include bitter leaf (Vernonia amygdalina), Awolowo leaf (Chromoleana odorata) scent leaf (Ocimum gratissimum and Bridelia ferruginea (Euphobiaceae).

The use of these various plants extract in broiler production, has been documented (Essien et al, 2007).

Bitter leaf (Vernonia amygdalina) scent leaf (Ocimum gratisimium) siam leaf (Chromolaena odorata) and Bridelia ferruginea are commonly found in south-eastern and south west part of Nigeria. These plants has been found useful to both man and animal either consuming the leaves, root, bark or stem.

The bitter leaf also known as Ewuro (Yoroba), Etidot (Cross River) is a shrub or small tree of 2 – 5m with petiolate leaf of about 6mm and elliptic shape.
