Increases appetite:Adding the right amount of garlic to chicken feed can stimulate the appetite of chickens and make them more willing to eat, thereby increasing overall feed intake.
Promotes Growth:For laying hens, the nutrients in garlic can help increase egg production. Experiments have shown that adding 3%-5% garlic to layer feed can increase egg production by about 10%. For broilers, garlic helps to boost immunity and improve meat quality.
Prevention of disease:The natural antibacterial ingredients contained in garlic can effectively inhibit and kill a variety of bacilli and cocci, and have a good preventive effect on common chicken diseases such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella.
