The study assessed the
growth performance of 75 Cobb broilers as influenced by onion extracts
supplementation. The animals were divided into five treatments with three
replications. Birds in Treatment 1 received antibiotic and vitamins while in
succeeding Treatments onion extracts were used with 0.125% and 0.250%. Alcohol
and sugar extractants were used. It was found out that there was no significant
difference between birds that received antibiotic and vitamins and broilers
supplemented with onion extracts to the growth of broilers. Further, birds that
received the sugar based onion extracts has better gross margin as compared to
other treatments.
