Abstract

Background: Poultry production contributes evidently to bridging the global food gap. Many nations have limited the use of antibiotics as growth promoters due to increasing bacterial antibiotic tolerance/resistance, as well as the presence of antibiotic residues in edible tissues of the birds. Consequently, the world is turning to use natural alternatives to improve birds' productivity and immunity. Material and Methods: The Brimhaniya Mahakashaya told by our Acharyas exhibits promising and positive health benefits due to its antioxidant, carminative, growth promoting activities. The same was elicited in broilers in comparison with mysore feed as control. Results: In poultry, dietary inclusion of Brimhaniya Mahakashaya revealed encouraging results in improving feed intake, body weight gain, feed efficiency, and feed conversion ratio, as well as reducing mortality, increasing livability, increasing disease resistance, reducing stress impacts, and maintaining the health of the birds.
