Table 2 shows the effect of dietary treatments on the
productive performance (body weight gain, feed intake,
and feed conversion ratio (FCR) recorded weekly and for
the entire period. The results of weight gain showed that
broiler chicks fed Aloe Vera supplemented diet exhibited
more body weight gain than the control. Broiler chicks fed
the Enramycin supplemented diets recorded more weight
gain than the others.
As seen in the Table, the largest body weight was
observed in the antibiotic group. However, there was no
significant difference among the antibiotic group and Aloe
vera powder groups.
Feed intake did not differ significantly between the
control group and those feed Aloe Vera powder or
Enramycin supplemented diets during the entire period.
However, there was a numerical increase in the feed
intake with highest daily feed intake recorded in
Enramycin supplemented diets.
The results of FCR showed that addition of Aloe
Vera powder or Enramycin did significantly (P
