Description
|
This dataset is derived from a study related to coccidiosis in turkey poults, which is a great therapeutic problem as it causes a great loss in productive variables. Given the new international guidelines to reduce the use of coccidiostats, phytoelements are becoming a necessity for coccidia treatments in turkeys.The study design and animal handling complied with the Mexican regulations for using experimental animals as established by the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) in its internal committee for the care and use of animals (CICUA-Protocol #0673). Steps to reproduce the data analysis and statistical procedures are described in the article "The efficacy of a pharmaceutically alginate-coated phytoremedy (black garlic and turmeric) for the control of natural coccidia infestation in turkeys". Who is willing to reproduce this research may read the method section of that article and follow the steps we performed. (2024-09-09)

Notes
| This dataset contains two files named “oocyst_count_feces.tab” and “production_performance_traits.tabs”. File “oocyst_count_feces.tab” The first column contains the experimental treatments: CTR: control group; GAR: fed the same diet as CTR group plus dried alginate beads containing minced black garlic (4 %); CUR: incorporating powder curcuma in dried alginate beads (4 %); GC: containing both minced garlic plus powder curcuma (8 %), also entrapped in dried alginate beads and GA: containing only alginate. The second column refers to the day the feces were collected across the experiment (0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, and 42 days). The remaining columns correspond to each of the animal subjects. The experiment involved two groups (replicates) of 15 animals each, whereby group 1 was composed of animals 1-15, and group 2 of animals 16-30. File “production_performance_traits.tabs” The first column contains the production performance traits, the second column contains the experimental treatments: CTR: control group; GAR: fed the same diet as CTR group plus dried alginate beads containing minced black garlic (4 %); CUR: incorporating powder curcuma in dried alginate beads (4 %); GC: containing both minced garlic plus powder curcuma (8 %), also entrapped in dried alginate beads and GA: containing only alginate. The third column refers to the measured production performance variables (weight gain, feed consumption and feed conversion index). The remaining columns correspond to each of the animal subjects. The experiment involved two groups (replicates) of 15 animals each, whereby group 1 was composed of animals 1-15, and group 2 of animals 16-30. |
