Clever Use of Garlic in Chicken Raising: These Practical Tips Are Very Useful

Garlic contains about 2% volatile oil, whose main component is allicin. It is a plant antibiotic that inhibits and kills pyogenic cocci, E. coli, tubercle bacilli, anthrax bacilli, molds, protozoa and others. The fat-soluble volatile oil and other active ingredients in garlic can activate macrophages and enhance the body's immunity and resistance. Therefore, using garlic to treat white diarrhea, coccidiosis and loss of appetite in chickens all has good results. The methods currently used include:

1. Peel and mash garlic and mix it into the feed; feed each chicken 3-5 grams (1 fresh garlic bulb weighs about 50 grams);

2. Make garlic powder and add it to adult chicken feed at 0.1% to feed;

3. Make garlic tincture and seal it for later use; dilute with water when feeding. Studies show that adding 1%-2% fresh garlic or 0.2% garlic powder to the diet of broiler chickens can make the chicken meat more fragrant, and can also eliminate the fishy smell in the meat after the chickens eat fishmeal, with no adverse effect on chicken growth; adding 4% chopped garlic sprouts or 3% garlic powder to the diet of laying hens can increase the egg production rate by 10%-15%; adding 1%-2% fresh garlic to the feed of broiler chickens one month before market (do not feed in the half month before market), after 1 month, disease resistance, feed conversion rate and growth speed all improve to varying degrees, and the feather color is glossy and bright, the meat after slaughter is fresh and tender, the soup is clear and fragrant, and the meat flavor is greatly improved. Garlic is indeed also an excellent additive that is safe and pollution-free.
