UIR-F Oladele, O.A. 5/6/2017 INTRODUCTION Inclusion of growth promoters in poultry feed is old & common worldwide (Waibei et al., 1954; Libby & Schaible, 1955). Usually antibiotics due to abundance of pathogenic microorganisms in the environment. Microorganisms subclinical infections optimal performance. 4 UIR-F Oladele, O.A. sub- 5/6/2017 The use of antibiotics as growth promoters in poultry has faced intense criticism for public health reasons: i. Antibiotic resistant strains of pathogens have evolved thereby challenging effective therapy in both poultry and humans (Campylobacter, Enterococcus, Salmonella spps and E. coli – Luo et al., 2003; Graham et al., 2007). European Union,1999 – banned, most antibiotics (Casewell et al., 2003). U.S., 2004 – banned, Enrofloxacin in food animals (Graham et al., 2007). ii. Antibiotic residues – poultry meat & eggs made available for human consumption in Nigeria (Dipeolu et al., 2000; 2002; 2004). 5 UIR-F Oladele, O.A. 5/6/2017 Poultry producers have therefore been searching for alternatives (Javandel et al., 2008). Non-conventional growth promoters: - improve nutrient digestibility, - control pathogenic micro-organisms, - facilitate favourable intestinal microbial balance and - enhance nutrient absorption through increased absorptive capacity (Al-Harthi, 2002; El-Deek et al., 2003). 6 UIR-F Oladele, O.A. 5/6/2017 Introduction – Garlic (Allium sativum) A well known spice and herbal medicine for the prevention and treatment of a variety of diseases (Adimoradi et al., 2006). A member of the onion family Alliceae having antimicrobial, antioxidant and antihypertensive properties (Konjufca et al., 1997; Sivam, 2001). Allicin (diallyl-thiosulfinate) is the major organosulfur cpd – biologically active (Raham, 2007). 7 UIR-F Oladele, O.A. 5/6/2017 In poultry: - improve broiler growth - decreased mortality rate. The use of GP in poultry production is of particular importance in the tropics: - high environmental temperature, - high relative humidity and - poor biosecurity are optimal conditions for disease agents to thrive. 8 UIR-F Oladele, O.A. 5/6/2017 Justification: Increasing pressure to reduce/eliminate the use of antibiotics as growth promoters in poultry feed. Prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria pathogens of poultry has made control a challenge sub-optimal production. Thus, further depletion of the already inadequate protein supply in Nigeria (FAO, 2010)., thereby hampering food security (MDG). Search for alternative growth promoters preferably from organic sources for sustainability. 9 UIR-F Oladele, O.A. 5/6/2017 Preliminary Studies Preliminary studies have shown: Increased body weight and higher Newcastle disease vaccinal immune response. Increased villi length & width as well as cryptal depth In commercial broilers fed garlic inclusion (Oladele & Bakare, 2011; Oladele et al., 2012). (The garlic meal used has been patented (Patent No. NG/P/2012/285 of 19 July, 2012). 10 UIR-F Oladele, O.A. 5/6/2017 Aim: To evaluate the potentials of garlic as a growth promoter in chickens via the assessment of production performance and markers of immune status and disease tolerance. 11 UIR-F Oladele, O.A. 5/6/2017 Specific Objectives: To determine quantitatively, the active components of garlic varieties available in Nigeria. ii. To determine the effect of garlic feed inclusion on: a. performance characteristics of commercial layers. b. immunity (humoral and cellular), haematology and serum biochemistry of commercial chickens. c. disease susceptibility/tolerance of commercial chickens. d. the organoleptic properties of poultry meat. iii) To conduct a cost-benefit analysis of garlic feed inclusion in commercial chicken production. iv) To partner with poultry producers and assess the acceptability of this product. i. 12 UIR-F Oladele, O.A. 5/6/2017 Expected outcome: This project is expected to: provide scientific explanations for some of the claims on garlic. II. provide information to poultry producers on the potentials of garlic as a growth promoter with consequent improvement in health and productivity of poultry. III. reduce inadvertent use of antibiotics in poultry rearing as well as production of safer meat and egg for human consumption. IV. stimulate the adoption of the use of garlic as an organic growth promoter by producers with consequent reduction in the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. I. 13 UIR-F Oladele, O.A. 5/6/2017 Experimental Design and Methods Phase 1 1. Quantitative assessment of the active components of garlic varieties available in Nigeria Available garlic varieties in Nigeria will be sourced and their active components i.e. allicin and alliin will be quantitatively determined using the high-performance liquid chromatography and/or the method of Miron et al., 2002. 14 UIR-F Oladele, O.A. 5/6/2017 15 2.Rearing of Commercial Layers 500 day-old pullet chicks will be purchased and reared in a designated poultry house at the Teaching & Research Farm. These chicks will be randomly separated into four groups (A, B, C and D) each consisting of two replicates designated as 1 and 2 from day-old and administered all necessary prophylaxis i.e. vaccines and multivitamins. Appropriate mash will be served with the inclusion ofOladele, previously prepared garlic meal (Patent No. 5/6/2017 UIR-F O.A. NG/P/2012/285) viz: 0.125% - group A, 0.25% - 3. Assessment of performance characteristics of commercial layers on garlic feed inclusion Performance characteristics to be assessed include morbidity, mortality, onset of lay, % production, egg quality (size, weight, shell colour and thickness, yolk colour and size, albumen and yolk viscosity) and spent hen value. Shelf-life of eggs laid will also be evaluated. 16 UIR-F Oladele, O.A. 5/6/2017 4. Assessment of immunity, haematology and serum biochemistry of commercial layers on garlic feed inclusion Cell mediated immunity will be assayed using lymphocyte proliferation ELISA kit (BrdU colorimetric, Roche Applied Science, UK). Humoral immunity (Newcastle disease and infectious bursal disease vaccinal response) will be assayed using the ELISA technique. Haematology (PCV, RBC counts, total and differential WBC counts) and serum biochemistry (protein, enzymes and lipid levels) will be determined using standard procedures (Campbell, 1997). 17 UIR-F Oladele, O.A. 5/6/2017 5. Determination of organoleptic properties of poultry meat from commercial layers on garlic feed inclusion Sensory evaluation of poultry meat will be conducted in a sensory testing room equipped with positive air pressure, individual stations and proper light (ISO, 1988). Coded samples of freshly prepared poultry meat will be served in separate, well-lit cubicles to 40 panelists at room temperature. A descriptive 9-point hedonic scale rating will be used to assess the meat for appearance/colour, aroma, chewiness, juiciness, toughness and overall acceptability. 1 representing ‘like extremely’ and 9 ‘dislike extremely’ (Osman and Aldosari, 2006). 18 UIR-F Oladele, O.A. 5/6/2017 6. Cost-benefit analysis of garlic feed inclusion in commercial layer production The cost of rearing these chickens will be determined and compared across the different groups considering inputs, disease control, mortalities, etc. This will be compared with gains from egg production and spent layers across the groups to determine profitability. 19 UIR-F Oladele, O.A. 5/6/2017 Phase 2 Determination of disease susceptibility/ tolerance of commercial broilers on garlic feed inclusion Three experiments to determine disease susceptibility/tolerance to three classes of pathogens (virus, bacteria and protozoan) will be conducted separately. 1. a) Experimental infection with Infectious bursal disease (IBD) virus 200 day-old broilers will be purchased and reared in an isolated facility. Random separation into 6 groups (A, B, C, D, E and F) from day-old and administered all necessary prophylaxis i.e. vaccines (except IBD) and multivitamins. Garlic inclusion, IBD vaccine and IBD virus will be administered as follows: 20 UIR-F Oladele, O.A. 5/6/2017 Group A: Garlic + IBD vaccine Group B: Garlic + IBD virus Group C: Garlic + IBD vaccine + IBD virus Group D: IBD vaccine + IBD virus Group E: IBD virus only Group F: IBD vaccine only 21 Garlic inclusion will be served from day-old at a level pre-determined from Phase 1 as most desirable. IBD vaccination will be at the recommended age and route. Experimental infection with IBD virus will be at 5 weeks of age via intraocular route. LD50 would have been pre-determined using 30 four week-old broiler chicks. Clinical signs, mortality and pathology will be monitored and recorded until 10 days post-infection. UIR-F Oladele, O.A. 5/6/2017 b) Experimental infection with Salmonella gallinarum 180 commercial broilers will be purchased. Thirty of them will be separated for the determination of LD50 of the bacterial inoculum. 150 chicks will be reared in five different groups of 30 each and administered garlic inclusion and S. gallinarum as follows: Group A: 0.125% garlic + S. gallinarum Group B: 0.25% garlic + S. gallinarum Group C: 0.5% garlic + S. gallinarum Group D: 0% garlic + S. gallinarum Group E: Garlic inclusion only (at the rate most desirable from Phase 1). Experimental infection will be orally at 5-6 weeks of age. Clinical signs, mortality and pathology will be monitored and recorded until 14 days post-infection. 22 UIR-F Oladele, O.A. 5/6/2017 c) Experimental infection with oocysts of Eimeria spp As in 1c above. 2. Determination of organoleptic properties of meat from commercial broilers on garlic feed inclusion Uninfected broilers from control groups will be used for this study.
