Garlic contains a chemical called adenosin, which is a natural antibiotic. Let's recall that in summer, if we encounter mosquito bites, we can also apply garlic in addition to toilet water and wind oil, and the effect of applying garlic is very good, which can quickly relieve itching and inhibit bacteria. Therefore, some rural chicken farmers feeding garlic can prevent cancer and improve the resistance of chickens, thus improving the survival rate. Chicken farmers are most afraid of getting chicken plague, because chicken plague will destroy all your chickens, so feeding some garlic at ordinary times can play a bacteriostatic role, and to some extent, some diseases will occur.
The second reason is that when chickens eat garlic, they can enhance their gastrointestinal peristalsis. We know that garlic is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, which has the effect of invigorating stomach, promoting digestion and regulating qi. When chickens eat it, it also has the same effect. Therefore, some chicken farmers can improve their digestive function by feeding chicken garlic, and at the same time, it also improves the conversion rate of feed, that is to say, it improves the efficiency of converting feed into muscle. In this way, the cost of raising chickens is reduced to a certain extent, so that the owners of chickens can get higher income. The third point is that garlic can improve the resistance of chickens, so that chickens can get sick less. When the chicken's body is stronger, its growth condition will be better at this time, so that the quality of eggs and chicken will be improved in the future, which will increase the income of chicken farmers.
Fourth, because garlic has a pungent smell, we humans sometimes feel very pungent when eating garlic, so the same is true for chickens when eating garlic. He may not feel spicy like humans, but after eating garlic, the feces discharged by chickens will contain the smell of garlic. It is precisely because of this very pungent smell that it has a certain inhibitory effect on mosquitoes in the air, thus reducing mosquito bites. But when feeding garlic to chickens, it doesn't mean throwing a bunch of garlic directly to the chickens to peck, but there are certain methods. The simplest method is to chop garlic and feed it directly to the chickens. If this method is too simple, other more complicated methods can be adopted, such as making garlic into dry powder and sprinkling it into the feed in proportion, which can also play a better role. Or use garlic to match vinegar, sugar or gelatin, etc., so that the feeding machine can play a better role.
