“…However related species of all tested plants are used in other countries for the treatment of inflammations and found experimentally to 474 R. Alasbahi and M. Melzig: possess anti-inflammatory activity as well [29][30][31][32][33]. Investigation the effect of the tested plant extracts on the HNE activity is able to reveal if these plants contain HNE inhibitors and therefore also possess anti-inflammatory activity.…”

“…Several in-vitro studies have been conducted on bush marigold (Aspilia africana-Astereaceae) leaf as antimicrobial agents (Kuaite et al, 1999;Okoli et al, 2007). However, limited publish reports are available on the effect of bush marigold leaf meal or extracts as growth promoter in monogastric production.…”

Problem statement:The effects of inclusion of aqueous extract of Bush marigold (Aspilia africana) leaf in quail diet were investigated. One hundred and fifty Japanese quail chicks were used in the study. Approach: In the 14-weeks feeding experiment, the birds were assigned to five treatments of; 0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10% inclusion of aqueous extract of Bush marigold leaf. Each treatment had 3 replicates of 10 birds per replicate in a randomized complete block design. Results: The results indicated that feeding Aqueous extract of Bush Marigold Leaf (AeBML) did not affect (p>0.05) daily weight gain, feed conversion ratio and carcass yield. Mortality and % cracked eggs were reduced (p<0.01). Feed intake and dressed weight of growing quails were significantly (p>0.05) affected by dietary supplementations with AeBML. Egg number and hen day production increased (p<0.001) as level of AeBML increased, though egg weight decreased (p<0.01). Feeding AeBML improved (p<0.001) albumen weight, shell thickness and yolk colour when compared to the control. Conclusion: The study concluded that dietary inclusion of up to 5% aqueous extract of bush marigold leaf in the diets of growing and laying quails could enhance growth performance and egg production traits.

“…Such proliferating cells produce a highly vascularised and red mass known as granulation tissue [16]. Granuloma of chronic inflammation comprises an accumulation of modified macrophages arranged in small clusters or nodular collections or surrounded by a cuff of lymphocyte [14][15][16][17]. Investigation of various extract revealed that the methanolic extract exerted significant (P<0.01) effect on the granulomatous inflammation.…”

A b s t r a c tThe investigation on anti reported to find out the pharmacological basis for its ethnomedical use. The anti activity of the pet ether (PEW) and methanol (MEW) extracts of the leaves of L. (Malvaceae)were evaluated by using in vivo (Carrageenan edema, cotton pellet granuloma test) models. It was observed that, all the extracts showed significant activity in the in with control and standard drugs. Of the two most significant activity well in comparison to the standard drug. suggests, potential of leaves of inflammation.
