Poultry is the most widely consumed meat in India. Now consumers' shows much interest towards antibiotic-free, naturally–produced poultry meat. Heat and humidity affects growth and production of poultry. To overcome the problem of stress, common practices are addition of some prebiotic, probiotic and some antibiotic in lower dozes. However, addition of antibiotic causes many problems to birds and consumer too. To overcome this problem A product namely, CARI - HERBIGROW has been developed which contain herbs, leaves, seeds and roots. These herbs contain many phenolic compounds, flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, phenolic acids, terpins, essential oils, curcumin etc. All these compounds alone or in combination function as antioxidants, immune enhancer and stress reducer.

The benefit CARI – HERBIGROW

1. It reduces heat stress by 17% in broiler chickens.

2. It may be used as natural growth promoter (replacement of AGP) in broiler feed resulting 5% increase in body weight as compared to control group.

3. It helps in reduction of lipid oxidation 30% in meat leading to be er keeping quality. The inclusion of HG at 5g/kg improved the physiological, immunological, and gut health of broiler chickens 

Transportation stress is an important issue that needs to be addressed at the earliest, taken into consideration of both rearing and marketing of broiler chickens. The pathophysiology of the stresses is mainly due to the appearance of thermal discomfort, dehydration, energy depletion, and fatigue which results in weight loss. Other factors like bruises, haemorrhages lead to vascular disturbances, acid-base imbalance & electrolyte changes affect birds. Catching methods during loading but unloading, vehicle condition, design of cages and ventilation system, etc. predispose chickens to more stress. Therefore, this product will help prevents percentage body weight loss & also will take care of their wellbeing. Our product will protect the loss of proteins and electrolytes from meat because of drip loss process which assures the good meat quality with longer Shelf-life. This package insures humane slaughter to birds as well as hygienic meat to consumers. This package when given to birds via drinking water before 3 days of transportation will induce immunity and mitigate inflammatory changes that occur due to stress. This will help farmers as mode of application is easy and do not require any specific techniques and skills.

The egg production in India has been steadily increasing due to factors such as population growth, urbanization, and the growing awareness of the nutritional benefits of eggs. Eggs are known for being an affordable, unadulterated, and easily available source of high-quality protein, vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats. However, eggs are also highly perishable, and their nutritional benefits start to decline a er a few weeks of normal storage. To meet the demand for extended shelf life of eggs, we have developed a herbal solution for table eggs. This solution, when applied or sprayed on the outer surface of eggs before storage, acts as a barrier, preventing the entry of external microbes into the egg. It also helps seal the pores of the egg, reducing the outflow of CO . 2 The application of this solution is simple and does not require any specific techniques or skills, benefiting farmers, vendors, and middlemen.

By using this herbal solution, we aim to increase the durability of eggs and reduce the chances of spoilage or deterioration. This will not only help in minimizing wastage but also ensure that consumers can enjoy eggs with preserved nutritional benefits for a longer period. The developed solution significantly benefit the poultry industry by extending the storage ability of table eggs, thereby reducing spoilage and deterioration caused by microbial activity and other factors. By implementing this product, losses incurred during storage can be minimized, resulting in positive economic outcomes for farmers, wholesalers, retailers, and others involved in the egg business. Additionally, consumers enjoy be er-quality eggs for a longer period. This product has the potential to enhance the overall efficiency and sustainability of the egg industry while meeting the demands of consumers for longer-lasting, high-quality eggs.

Poultry semen is highly concentrated and low in volume. It is further concentrated a er ejaculation due to evaporation of water from semen at room temperature that makes impractical to handle it in undiluted form. This event leads to killing of spermatozoa in fresh semen that requires immediate dilution of semen for achieving higher fertility in poultry through artificial insemination (AI) technology. To handle the above said problem of poultry semen and its maximum utilization using AI technology, dilution of semen is the only alternate. This diluent does not require the adjustment of pH because the composition of the diluent is prepared in such a way that the desired pH (7.20) and osmotic pressure (332 m.Osm/kg H O) can be achieved automatically. Diluent is comprised of nutrients, 2 osmotic and buffering agents which provides an ideal environment for the survival of spermatozoa outside of the body. Using this diluent, highly concentrated chicken/ poultry semen from a single valuable or proven sire can be diluted several folds for inseminating large number of females through the application of AI. In this way diluent will increase the semen volume thereby permit the uniform distribution of spermatozoa in media resulted very good fertility by AI in hens. In addition, diluent prolongs the sperm survival of semen in vitro condition (24-48 hrs). By virtue of the diluent, the technique of the A.I presently is employed as biggest and cheapest tool for improving the poultry production associate with the reduction of the cost of poultry breeding by maintenance of less number of males. Using the technique of semen dilution, semen can be preserved for several hours without signification loss of fertilizing ability. In India, poultry is 90% dominated by chicken. Hence, this diluent is mainly targeted to the chicken. However, it also works well in other poultry species like turkey, duck and guinea fowl etc.

Benefits:

• The services of superior male can be used maximally by artificial insemination technique which is not possible under natural mating.
• CARI poultry semen diluent reduced the number of males in flock. This would reduce the feed and managemental cost.
• CARI poultry semen diluent can be utilized for economic production of various poultry species
