Herbs and Organic Acids for Poultry - Henlus - 08-05-2019
I want this post to be a great resource for herbs and organic acids that can be used to booste poultry growth, immunity, egg production etc.
Herbs for Broilers
The 2 herbs: E. odoratum and O. gratissimum (scent leaves) are good for broilers. They help improve growth and build immune system against diseases. Prepare by soaking 200g of dry leaves in 1 liter warm water for 12 hours. Soak them separately and give each at 25ml per liter of drinking water. SOURCE:

Images of E. odoratum from tramil.net and revolvy.com
Do I need to include photo of scent leaves? Anyway:
From healthbid.net.
Good Organic Acids for Birds
Adding butyric acid to broiler feed at 0.2% can help maintain their performance and carcass quality.
Sodium butyrate is also good. Salts of butyrate, propionate and acetate can decrease salmonella (a disease-causing organism) colonization of chicken cecum. They reduce litter contamination and neutralize ammonia production. But note that the effectiveness of organic acids may also depend on diet composition and its buffering capacity.
