sorption isotherm and thermal properties of powders were used for determining stability during storage. garlic slices with 2 mm thickness were dried, using two methods of freeze and cabinet drying. the results showed that, the density, loss of pyruvate and color changes of the freeze dried powder were less than those of the cabinet dried powder. sorption isotherm curves of the both garlic powde...

this experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of garlic powder on fermentation characteristic and rumen microbes of arabian sheep.at first step the best level of garlic was determined. then animals were fed for 35 days with control diet and supplemented with garlic (2% per kg dm). apparent digestibility, rumen fermentation parameters, number of protozoa and blood metabolites (glucose...

in this study, we investigated the effect of savory (satureja hortensis) essential oil, garlic(allium sativum) powder, and garlic aqueous extract on fungal load of poultry feed. tothis end, savory essential oil and garlic aqueous extract each amounting 62.5, 125, and250 μl/ml and mg/ml, respectively, per kilogram of feed and garlic powder amounting2.5, 5, and 10 g/kg of feed were used. one and ...

Male Ross x Ross 208 chickens were fed from hatching to 21 d of age either a control diet (based on corn and soybean meal) or the control diet supplemented with 0, 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5% of a commercial garlic powder in Experiments 1 and 2. Once the dose-response relationship was established, 3% garlic powder or 63 or 180 mg/kg copper as cupric citrate or cupric sulfate pentahydrate were supplement...

two experiments were conducted to determine the ame content of garlic powder and to investigate its effect as well as vitamin e and loxidan (as a commercial antioxidant) supplemented in the diet, on growth performance, carcass analysis and meat oxidative stability. in the first experiment, the ame was determined in leghorn roosters fed diets containing 5, 10, 15 and 20% of garlic powder, whose ...

Recent studies have cast doubt on the proposed lipid-lowering and blood pressure-lowering effects of garlic. We tested the effect of dried garlic (Allium sativum) powder on blood lipids, blood pressure and arterial stiffness in a 12-week randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Seventy-five healthy, normo-lipidaemic volunteers (men and women aged 40-60 years) were assigned to dried g...

An experiment was conducted to assess the effect of dietary supplementation of garlic (Allium sativum) and fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) seed powder as herbal feed additives on growth performance, carcass characteristics and economics of feeding in broilers. A total of 320 day old broiler chicks of Cobb-400 strain were divided into four treatment groups with 4 replicates of 20 chicks...

In poultry, the liver is the main organ for the synthesis of triglycerides (TG) and their secretion into the plasma. Secretion of TGs from the liver and their storage in adipose tissue of the abdominal cavity reduces the meat yield. There are controversial reports about the effects of garlic on the levels of TG in the serum and liver of poultry. In this study, different diets that contained var...
