EFFECT OF POLYHERBAL FEED SUPPLEMENT AND ANTIMYCOTIC PRODUCT ON MEAT QUALITY ATTRIBUTES OF CHICKEN
2011
To study the impact of inclusion of polyherbal feed supplement and antimycotic formulation on carcass and cooked meat quality aspects I chicken was conducted in 50 unsexed day old broiler chicks that were randomly divided into two groups, one control and treatment. Untreated control (C) was administered standard basal diet without any herbal feed supplement while treatment group was offered polyherbal feed supplement & toxin binder product Vilocym@1Kg/tonne of feed (supplied by Ayurvet Ltd. Baddi, India) alongwith basal diet. Carcass quality traits, cooked meat quality attributes, organoleptic characteristics of cooked meat and proximate analysis of cooked meat were studied at the end of 6 week experimental trial by slaughtering representative birds of both the groups. Supplementation of polyherbal feed supplement & toxin binder product in basal diet was found to be efficacious in improving overall meat quality attributes such as carcass yield, dressing percentage (%), giblet yield, fillet and tender yield, sensory meat characteristics, organoleptic cooked meat parameters, overall palatability and acceptability of meat. The product doesn't have any residual or adverse effect on eating and cooking quality of meat and hence is safe for usage.
