MATERIALS AND METHODS
This study was planned to investigate the efficacy of 10% (w/v) concentrated aloe vera gel (AG) infusion
as a coccidiostat, growth promoter and immunostimulant agent in broiler production practices at the NWFP
Agricultural University Peshawar, Poultry Farm.
Experimental Design
This experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design (CRD). One hundred and sixty (160),
day-old chicks of approximately the same weight was purchased from a local hatchery. The chicks were randomly
distributed into four groups (A, B, C, and D) and further replicated four times with ten chicks per replicate. Chicks
were reared in pens in an open sided house under similar environment. Group A, B and C received aqueous extract
of aloe gel (10%w/v) @ of 5, 10 and 15 ml/liter of water, respective, whereas, group D was kept control.
