An experiment for comparing the effects of Aloe vera gel (mixed with feed) and AGP (virginiamycin)
indicated that AGP (virginiamycin) resulted in better growth performance compared
to the performance of groups that received Aloe vera gel (at 1.5%, 2%, and 2.5%),
and the control group while no significant difference was observed between the antibiotic
group and the 2% Aloe vera gel group in terms of body weight gain and FCR
(Darabighane et al., 2011 b).
