Effect of Aloe vera and clove powder supplementation on growth performance, carcass and blood chemistry of Japanese quails

Modulation of growth performance, gut morphometry, and cecal microbiota in broilers by clove (Syzygium aromaticum) and tulsi (Ocimum sanctum) supplementation

“…The results of the current study led us to the opinion that clove powder and tulsi extract supplementation, when offered in the optimum concentrations, increases broiler feed consumption. Similar findings were reported in earlier studies ( Mukhtar, 2011 ; Agostini et al, 2012 ; Bhosale et al, 2015 ; Arif et al, 2022 ). Clove can be supplemented as a potential alternative to AGPs which also improves the feed intake in the broiler ( Dalkilic and Güler, 2009 ).…”

“…Clove, tulsi, ginger, turmeric, aloe vera, garlic, neem, oregano, anise, cinnamon, and amla are popularly known plants or plant products used in the diet to improve feed efficiency and growth performance of poultry ( Kreydiyyeh et al, 2000 ; Ertas et al, 2005 ; Eevuri and Putturu, 2013 ; Cabuk et al., 2014 ; Mohammadi et al, 2014 ; Mustafa, 2016 ; Jahejo et al, 2019 ; Arif et al, 2022 ). These plants contain various bioactive ingredients like glycosides, alkaloids, flavonoids, mucilage, and bitters ( Baliga et al., 2013 ; Eevuri and Putturu, 2013 ; Batiha et al, 2020 ).…”

“…Herbal medicines (like clove and tulsi) can be an affordable feed additive for any farming level, especially for marginal farmers ( El-Shall et al, 2022 ). Clove is one of the popular phytochemical-rich plants that reportedly improves the gut health and growth performance of poultry and can be used alone or in combination with other plant extracts ( Batiha et al, 2020 ; Arif et al, 2022 ). It has potential antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anesthetic, and antidiabetic effects ( Milind and Deepa, 2011 ; Batiha et al, 2020 ).…”

Pharmacological, nutritional and antimicrobial uses of Moringa oleifera Lam. leaves in poultry nutrition: an updated knowledge

“…Probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, amino acids, herbal extracts, exogenous enzymes, essential oils, green synthesized nanoparticles, and phytogenic products are the most common natural feed additives used to improve the production of poultry and livestock ( Abou-Kassem et al, 2021 , 2022 ; Alagawany et al, 2021 ; Arif et al, 2022 ). Various phytogenic poultry feed additives, such as aromatic herbs or fragrance oils, have also been explored in the recent decades ( Ahossi et al, 2016 ; Abd Elkader et al, 2021 ; Reda et al, 2021 ).…”

The Effect of Sargassum siliquastrum Supplementation on Growth Performance, Cecal Fermentation, Intestine Histomorphology, and Immune Response of Japanese Quails

“…In the poultry industry, “friendly additives” must be sought to replace the frequent use of vaccinations, drugs, and antibiotics [ 1 ]. Therefore, the use of probiotics, prebiotics, herbal powders, and algal products in poultry diets, to improve growth and reproductive attributes, as well as innate immunity that provides adequate protection to birds, has become popular as an alternative to antibiotics worldwide in recent years [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ]. The genus Sargassum is a tropical and sub-tropical brown seaweed, comprising 150 species [ 6 ].…”
