Abstract

A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of supplementation of manganese and turmeric in a class of Low Input Technology (LIT) layer birds’ diet namely Him-Smridhi (HS) under a complete randomized design. For this purpose, 44-week-old HS birds were divided into 4 treatment groups viz. BF, TP0.5%, Mn 50mg, Mn50TP0.5. Each treatment group had three replicates, with ten birds (9 female, 1 male) per replicate BF served as control group and was given standard feed, treatment TP0.5% was supplemented with 0.5 per cent turmeric powder w/w, treatment Mn 50mg offered with feed additional manganese 50mg/Kg and treatment Mn50TP0.5 was supplemented with additional manganese (50mg/Kg) + (0.5%) ) turmeric powder w/w. Fertility per cent, per cent total egg set hatched and per cent fertile egg set hatched were calculated during trial period (44th to 53rd week). Significant (p<0.05) effect of turmeric supplementation was observed on average albumen height and average haugh unit and reduction in egg yolk cholesterol level. Significant (p<0.05) higher albumen manganese, eggshell calcium and eggshell manganese was recorded with additional Mn supplementation affecting improve eggshell strength.  Mn and turmeric powder supplementation showed no effect on hatchability in LIT bird Him-samridhi , but numerically 2.98 per cent higher hatchability with supplementation of turmeric powder alone was exhibited.
