Effect of RANACID Liquid on Gut Health, Microbial Balance, and Overall Performance in Broiler Chickens
Abstract
A 42-day broiler trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of RANACID Liquid, a herbal-organic water acidifier, on drinking-water quality, gut health, microbial load, and overall performance in broiler chickens. A total of 960 Cobb 430 birds were allotted to three treatments: Control (no acidifier), RANACID @ 1 mL/5 L of drinking water, and RANACID @ 1.5 mL/5 L, each with eight replicates of 40 birds. Continuous supplementation of RANACID significantly lowered drinking-water pH from 7.4 to 5.0–5.3, resulting in a marked reduction of E. coli and Salmonella counts in both water and caecal samples. Improved villus height and VH:CD ratio indicated enhanced intestinal integrity and nutrient absorption. Birds receiving RANACID exhibited higher body weight gain (up to +190 g) and better feed conversion ratio (1.53 vs. 1.62 in control). No adverse effects on water intake or palatability were observed. Overall, RANACID effectively improved water hygiene, gut health, and growth performance, demonstrating its role as a safe and natural alternative to chemical acidifiers in poultry production.
