“…The dose‐dependent increase in testosterone level following ESS dietary intervention is similar to that found in quails (Nashwan & Al‐Khazaei, 2015) and ducks secondary to augmented secretion of gonadotrophic hormone (Al‐Salhie & Makki, 2020). PUFAs trigger the function of 17 β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (Gromadzka‐Ostrowska et al, 2002), a crucial regulatory enzyme in testosterone biosynthesis, by modifying the phospholipid structure in testes' plasma membranes, thereby affecting receptor‐mediated gonadotropin actions (Sebokova et al, 1988).…”

“…However, this study did not explore the potential impacts on semen characteristics and sexual performance. An obvious improvement was recorded in the testicular morphometric outcomes and pituitary‐gonadal sexual hormones of aged male ducks supplemented with alcoholic ES extract (Al‐Salhie & Makki, 2020). We hypothesised that plenty of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in ESS are involved in improving fertility efficiency.…”

Herein we attempt to shed light on the potential improving effect of Eruca sativa seeds (ESS) on the reproductive aspects of male Japanese quails. To accomplish this objective, two groups of quails were supplemented with ESS powder at doses of 5 and 10 g/kg feed from 7 days to 140 days of age, in addition to the control group, which did not receive treatment. Forty males were reared singly in cages to evaluate sperm characters and 32 males were raised with 64 females to evaluate fertility and sperm penetrability. Sixty‐six phytochemical compounds were found according to gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis of ESS. The most plentiful ones are 13‐docosenoic acid methyl ester, 9‐octadecenoic acid methyl ester, and linoleic acid methyl ester. Both 5 g/kg and 10 g/kg doses of ESS showed similar effectiveness in enhancing various reproductive parameters, including gonadal index, sperm characteristics, fertility, libido, and cloacal gland attributes. However, some aspects like sperm concentration and testosterone levels exhibited a dose‐dependent response. There is no significant change in mortality rate of supplemented groups compared to the control one. ESS also caused a reduction in feed intake and an enhancement in feed conversion ratio without affecting final body weight and body weight gain. This suggests potential nutritional benefits beyond reproductive health. The low‐dose‐fed group showed a significant reduction in total cholesterol and malondialdehyde compared to the high‐dose‐fed and unfed groups. The higher dose notably increased total antioxidant capacity compared to the lower dose and control group. Despite the positive effects on male reproductive parameters, there wasn't a significant impact on hatchability percentage, indicating that while male fertility improved, it might not have directly affected the viability of the eggs. Overall, the study suggests that ESS could be a safe and promising addition to the diet of male Japanese quails to enhance their reproductive capabilities without adverse effects. The findings could have implications for poultry farming by potentially improving breeding efficiency and health outcomes in quails.

“…While, the results showed no significant differences in the feed consumption, feed conversion ratio and eggs weight among groups. Medicinal plants or their extracts are used to stimulate growth and improve the physiological and reproductive parameters of birds (Al-Salhie & Al-Waeli, 2019 ; Sultan et al, 2019;Al-Salhie & Makki, 2020). These findings may be due to the increased activity of broccoli compounds and phytochemicals that promote general health (Vallejo et al, 2004).…”

This study was carried out to determine the effects of adding broccoli leaves extract to drinking water on eggs production and intestinal microflora (total bacteria, lactobacilli and Escherichia coli) of breeder Japanese quails. One hundred and thirty-two 45 days-old of Japanese quails (males and females) were randomly distributed into four groups. Each group has three replicates. The groups were included: The first group was kept without any addition as the control. The extraction of broccoli leaves as 100, 200 and 300 mg. l-.1 were added to bird's drinking water of the second, third and fourth groups respectively. The results showed a significant improvement in eggs production (HD %), accumulative eggs per 30 days and eggs mass in the third and fourth groups compared to the other groups. While, no significant differences were shown in the feed consumption, feed conversion ratio and eggs weight among groups. Caecal and duodenum E. coli showed a significant decrease in third and fourth groups compared to the others. However, duodenum lactobacilli increased significantly in the fourth group compared to other groups. It was also showed no significant differences in the total duodenum bacteria among studied groups. While, the total caecal bacteria decrease significantly in the third group compared to other groups. Based on the presented results can be concluded that alcoholic extract of broccoli leaves at levels 200 and 300 mg. l-1 could enhance productive characteristics (eggs production HD %, accumulative eggs per 30 days and eggs mass). On the other hand, it increased duodenum lactobacilli and decreased caecal and duodenal E. coli population of breeder Japanese quails.

“…As a result of the harm caused by the antibiotics used in feeding poultry to human and animal health through the resistance of pathogens and their residues in poultry meat (Soltan et al, 2008;Dalkili & Guler, 2009). So, the researchers tended to use medicinal plants and herbs as safe feed additives in poultry diets, as they have a positive role in stimulating growth , improving the immune system and physiological traits of birds (Jugl-Chizzola et al, 2006;Özer et al, 2007;Al-Salhie & Al-Waeli, 2019;Hussein & Jassim, 2019;Sultan et al, 2019;Al-Salhie & Makki, 2020). In addition to stimulating beneficial microorganisms within the intestines of birds, which contributes to the digestion of many nutrients and make them available to birds (Tekeli et al, 2006).…”

This study was conducted in the Poultry Field of the College of Agriculture, Basrah University for the period from 20/9/2019 to 24/10/2019 to investigate the effect of adding different levels of Portulaca oleracea L. seeds and leaves powder on some physiological characteristics of broilers. A total 216 one day old unsexed Ross-308 broiler chicks were used in this study. The chicks were randomly distributed into six treatments replicated three times (12 chicks each replicate). The experiment was designed as a completely randomized design (CRD). The first treatment was control (basal diet), P. oleracea seed powder was added as 5 & 10 g.kg-1 for the 2nd and 3rd treatments. Leaves powder was added as 5 and 10 g.kg-1 to the basal diet in treatment 4th and 5th. In the 6th treatment 5 gm of seed and 5 gm of leaves powder was added to the basal diet. The results showed that there was a significant (P <0.05) decrease in serum glucose, cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations in all additive treatments compared to control. There was also a significant decrease (P <0.05) in Escherichia coli bacteria count, as well as a significant improvement (P <0.05) in the number of Lactobacilli bacteria in all addition treatments compared to the control group. The addition of P. oleracea seeds and leaves powder had no significant effect on some haematological indices and on the total protein concentration in the serum. The study confirms the importance of adding powder of seeds or leaves in the broiler diet because it has a positive role in improving some of the physiological and microbial blood characteristics of the broiler.
