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 ...

In spite of commonly spread positive opinion about the antibacterial and antiviral properties of garlic, very few and fragmented data exist on the benefits of garlic and garlic-based preparations in the prevention of acute respiratory diseases (ARD). This study was performed to elucidate the effect of timereleased garlic powder tablets (Allicor) in prevention of ARD in children. At the first st...

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 ...

Numerous animal studies have reported that garlic can protect against atherosclerosis. However, a comparable number of studies do not support this observation. This contradiction may result from differences in study design, use of different animal models, and use of different garlic formulations and preparations. Here, we investigated the effect of the chemically well-characterized and producti...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the hypocholesterolemic effect of an enteric-coated garlic supplement standardized for allicin-releasing potential in mild to moderate hypercholesterolemic patients. METHODS A double-blind randomized, placebo-controlled intervention study was conducted in 46 hypercholesterolemic subjects who had failed or were not compliant with drug therapy. Each subject was given dieta...

this experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of synbiotic and two levels of dried garlic powder on performance during 1-49 and ileum morphology and microbial population at 49d of age in broiler chicks. the experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with 5 treatments, 4 replicates of 10 chicks per replicate. the dietary treatments consisted of 1) control diet without a...

Early trials of garlic preparations on blood lipids mainly supported a lipid-lowering effect, whereas later well-designed garlic tablet trials were mainly entirely null. However, enteric simulation tests suggest that this discordance may result from ineffective delivery of bioactive agents from the brands of garlic powder (GP) and cyclodextrin-bound garlic oil (GO) tablets tested in some recent...

The objectives of this study were to isolate and identify garlic endophytes, and explore the characteristics of dominant strains. Garlic endophytes were studied through phenotypical characterization and comparative sequence analysis of 16S rDNA based on culture-dependent approaches. Representative strains inferred from 16S rDNA sequencing were selected for further identification by gyrA and rpo...

This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of different levels of garlic (Allium sativum) on growth survival and nutritional characteristics of goldfish (Carassius auratus). For this purpose, 180 goldfish with an average initial weight of 1.18± 0.08 g were introduced randomly into 12 aquaria (50×30×40 cm) at 4 groups. After one week feeding on basal diet, the treatments were fed on exper...
