In the last decade, there has been growing interest in the use of natural herbs and medicinal plants as feed additives in poultry diets to maximise their potential output. Ginger is one such potential rhizome with a wide range of medicinal effects. In broilers and layers, this plant has been used in different forms, doses and durations. In this review, documented effects of ginger in poultry feed on feed intake and feed conversion ratio, growth and weight gain, carcass yield, egg production and quality, antioxidants and blood biochemistry, with their possible mechanisms of action, are discussed.

- The effect of phytogenics on growth traits, blood biochemical and intestinal histology in broiler chickens exposed to Clostridium perfringens challenge (2018, background): “The suggested mechanism of action of the essential oils and phytobiotics may be due to the enhanced feed intake, improved nutrient digestion, increased secretion of digestive enzymes and greater absorption in the intestines (Khan et al. 2012a, 2012b; Abudabos et al. 2016, 2017).”
