et al. 2021

Objective: The purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the effect of dietary essential oils (EOs) on productive performance, nutrient digestibility, and serum metabolite profiles of broiler chickens and to compare their effectiveness as growth-promoting additives against antibiotics.Methods: Peer-reviewed articles were retrieved from Web of Science, Science Direct, PubMed, and Google scholar and selected based on pre-determined criteria. A total of 41 articles containing 55 experiments with 163 treatment units were eligible for analyses. Data were subjected to a meta-analysis based on mixed model methodology considering the doses of EOs as fixed effects and the different studies as random effects.Results: Results showed a linear increase (p<0.001) on body weight gain (BWG) where Antibiotics (FCR) and average daily feed intake decreased (p<0.001) linearly with an increasing dose of EOs. Positive effects were observed on the increased (p<0.01) digestibility of dry matter, crude protein, ether extract, and cecal Lactobacillus while Escherichia coli (E. coli) population in the cecum decreased (p<0.001) linearly. There was a quadratic effect on the weight of gizzard (p<0.01), spleen (p<0.05), bursa of fabricius (p<0.001), and liver (p< 0.10) while carcass, abdominal fat, and pancreas increased (p<0.01) linearly. The dose of EOs linearly increased high density lipoprotein, glucose, protein, and globulin concentrations (p<0.01). In comparison to control and antibiotics, all type of EOs significantly reduced (p<0.001) FCR and tended to increase (p<0.1) BWG and final body weight. Cinnamaldehyde-compound was the only EOs type showing a tendency to increase (p<0.1) carcass weight, albumin, and protein of serum metabolites while this EOs together with EOs-Blend 1 decreased (p<0.01) E. coli population. Low density lipoprotein concentration decreased (p<0.05) with antibiotics and carvacrol-based compound when compared to the control group.Conclusion: This evidence confirms that EOs are suitable to be used as growth promoters and their economical benefit appears to be promising.

“…Essential oils ( EOs ) have been used as a promising in-feed antibiotics alternatives due to their natural, low-toxicity, and no-residue properties ( Bassolé and Juliani, 2012 ). In vitro and in vivo trials have demonstrated that EOs exhibit different biological functions, including antioxidant status ( Chowdhury et al., 2018 ; Pirgozliev et al., 2019b ) and antibacterial, anti-inflammatory ( Liu et al., 2019 ), antiviral ( El-Shall et al. 2020 ), and antiparasitic activities ( Bozkurt et al., 2016 ).…”

The effects of a blend of encapsulated organic acids with essential oils ( EOA ) as an alternative to antimicrobial growth promoter ( AGP ) on growth performance and gut health of Eimeria spp./ Clostridium perfringens (C. perfringens) in chickens infected with necrotic enteritis ( NE ) broilers was investigated. A total of 432 male Arbor Acres broilers (1-day-old) were randomly distributed into 6 treatment groups, namely noninfected negative control (A); NE-infected positive control (D); NE-infected broiler chickens fed a basal diet supplemented with 250 mg/kg bacitracin methylene disalicylate ( BMD ) plus 90 mg/kg monensin; and NE-infected broiler chicken fed 200; 500; and 800 mg/kg EOA (E, F, G, and H group). Feeding EOA at 200 and 500 mg/kg considerably improved the feed conversion ratio, reduced gut lesions, serum fluorescein isothiocyanate dextran level, and C. perfringens load in the caecum and liver of the NE-infected broiler chickens. This feed was similar to AGP. Furthermore, the increased villous height-to-crypt depth ratio and goblet cells counts, upregulated claudin-1, glucagon-like peptide-2 ( GLP-2 ), insulin-like growth factor-2 ( IGF-2 ) mRNA gene expression, downregulated occludin, zonula occludens-1 ( ZO-1 ), toll-like receptor ( TLR-4 ), interleukin ( IL-1β ), interferon γ ( IFN-γ ), TNF receptor-associated factor 6 ( TRAF-6 ), tumor necrosis factor superfamily member 15 ( TNFSF15 ), and Toll-interacting protein ( Tollip ) genes expression in the jejunum were observed in the NE-infected broiler chickens that received EOA at 200 and 500 mg/kg compared with those of the single NE-challenged groups without EOA supplementations ( P < 0.05). The 16S analysis revealed that EOA supplemented with 200 or 500 mg/kg enriched relative abundance of Lactobacillus, unclassified_ Lachnospiraceae , and Enterococcus, and carbohydrate metabolic pathways but suppressed unclassified _Erysipelotrichacease and organismal systems involved in the immune system ( P < 0.05). Feeding EOA could alleviate NE-induced gut impairment and growth depression and modulate cecal microbiota composition, which has potential as antimicrobial alternatives.

“…Traditional Chinese medicine ( TCM ) has been regarded as an invaluable source of therapeutic agents and played an important role in maintaining both human and animal health ( Mishra and Tiwari, 2011 ). Some TCMs with low toxicity, like Galla Chinensis ( Xiang et al., 2015 ), Andrographis paniculata ( Worasuttayangkurn et al., 2019 ), Arctii Fructus ( Xu et al., 2015 ; Bok et al., 2017 ), Glycyrrhizae Radix ( Jiang et al., 2020a ), and Schizonepeta tenuifolia ( Fung and Lau, 2002 ), contain various active ingredients, such as terpenoids, phenols, and volatile oils, which can not only improve growth performance, immune function, and intestinal microbiota of livestock and poultry, but also have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities ( Samuel et al., 2017 ; Li et al., 2018 ; Pirgozliev et al., 2019 ; Jiang et al., 2020b ; Shi et al., 2020 ). Compared with antibiotics, TCMs have many advantages including less toxicity and side effects, and reduced residues in body and risk of inducing drug resistance ( Abdallah et al., 2019 ).…”

Effects of novel microecologics combined with traditional Chinese medicine and probiotics on growth performance and health of broilers

et al. 2022

In this study, we prepared a kind of novel microecologics, namely Chinese medicine–probiotic compound microecological preparation ( CPCMP ), which is composed of 5 traditional Chinese medicine herbs ( Galla Chinensis, Andrographis paniculata, Arctii Fructus, Glycyrrhizae Radix , and Schizonepeta tenuifolia ) fermented by Aspergillus niger and a kind of compound probiotics ( Lactobacillus plantarum A37 and L. plantarum MIII). The effects of the CPCMP in broilers on growth performance, serum parameters, immune function, and intestinal health were investigated. A total of 450 one-day-old male Arbor Acres broilers were randomly divided into 6 treatment groups with 5 replicates, 15 birds per replicate. Treatments consisted of: blank control, CPCMP, positive control, commercial CPCMP, traditional Chinese medicine, and probiotics groups, which were birds fed with basal diet supplemented with no extra additives, 0.2% CPCMP, 0.0035% chlortetracycline, 0.2% commercially available CPCMP, 0.2% fermented traditional Chinese medicines, and 0.2% compound probiotics, respectively. CPCMP obviously increased the average body weight and average daily gain ( P < 0.05, compared with any other group) and decreased the feed:gain ratio of broilers ( P < 0.05, compared with the blank control, commercial CPCMP, traditional Chinese medicine, or probiotics group). Moreover, it significantly increased glutathione peroxidase and secretory immunoglobulin A levels and spleen/bursa indices ( P < 0.05 for all, compared with the blank control, commercial CPCMP, traditional Chinese medicine, or probiotics group). Villus heights in duodenum, jejunum, and ileum were also elevated by CPCMP treatment ( P < 0.05, compared with any other group). Furthermore, CPCMP substantially increased jejunal mRNA levels of occludin and zonula occludens-1 ( P < 0.05, compared with the blank control, positive control, or probiotics group) and facilitated the growth and colonization of beneficial cecal bacteria, such as Olsenella, Barnesiella , and Lactobacillus . Overall results show that the CPCMP prepared in our work contributes to improving growth performance, serum parameters, immune function, and intestinal health of broilers and exerts synergistic effects of traditional Chinese medicines and probiotics to some extent. Our findings suggest that CPCMP is a promising antibiotic substitute in the livestock and poultry industry in the future.
