“…This lower serum TC and TGs may suppress the fatty acid transport from the liver to adipose tissue, resulting in lower abdominal fat content as well as higher DY in the birds fed herbal rations [ 29 ], which is similar to the previous findings [ 20 , 22 ]. Birds served herbal rations showed a tendency toward higher liver percent due to lower dietary fat absorption [ 30 ], lipase activity [ 31 ], and/or hepatic lipogenesis [ 32 ] in broilers. Moreover, bioactive component-enriched herbs given to the bird revealed lower liver enzymatic activity, indicating less hepatic damage and a better percentage.…”

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the influence of feeding fresh lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) or spearmint (Mentha spicata) and their combination on performance, serum metabo¬lites, liver enzymes, and meat quality in broilers. Materials and Methods: A total of 168 day-old Indian River chicks were arbitrarily offered four experimental rations: (i) control ration (CT-R): corn-soya-based ration, (ii) lemongrass ration (LG-R): CT-R + 1.0% DM of lemongrass; (iii) spearmint ration (SM-R): CT-R + 1.0% DM of spearmint; and (iv) lemongrass-spearmint ration (LS-R): CT-R + 0.5% DM from both lemongrass and spear¬mint. Each ration was given to 42 birds for a duration of 35 days, with 3 replications and 14 birds each. Results: Elevated body weight gain was observed in LG-R (1,502 gm), LS-R (1,492 gm), and SM-R (1,474 gm) compared to CT-R (1,451 gm) (p = 0.078). Herbal rations successfully reduced almost 3%–5% of serum and meat total cholesterol concentrations compared to CT-R. Compared to CT-R, the highest zinc and iron concentrations of serum and meat were measured in LG-R and SM-R, respectively, while both minerals of serum and meat were observed to be better in LS-R (p < 0.05). Herbal rations significantly improved serum liver enzyme activity and ameliorated the red color of breast and thigh meat but failed to improve the lightness and yellowness of both types of meat compared to CT-R. Conclusions: LG-R, SM-R, and LS-R improved bird performance, liver health, and meat color, and lowered serum and meat cholesterol levels. But among them, LS-R efficaciously increased the serum and meat zinc and iron concentrations.

“…Hence, the effective use of feed ingredients and additives is essential to enhance chicken production performance. Effective inclusions such as enzymes, probiotics, prebiotics, or unusual products enhance feed utilization (1)(2)(3)(4). After the COVID-19 crisis and dramatic changes in the feed supply, there was a trend to depend on local feed resources to formulate poultry diets to limit imports and overcome lockdown challenges that influenced the agriculture sector (2,(5)(6)(7)(8)(9).…”

This research aimed to study the impact of supplementation of three multi-enzyme levels (0, 0.1, and 0.2% of feed) and two levels of dietary treatments [standard diet (SD) and low-density diet (LDD)] on growth performance, carcass traits, digestibility, and meat quality of broilers from 1 to 38 days of age. A total of 216 1-day-old Arbor Acres broiler chicks were randomly assigned to a factorial experiment (2 × 3) comprising six dietary treatments, each with six replicates and each replicate with six chickens. The results showed that the LDD significantly reduced body weight gain by 5.0%, compared with the SD. Multi-enzymes significantly improved body weight gain and the production index (PI) relative to the SD. The feed conversion ratio was significantly enhanced with increased multi-enzymes from 1 to 21 days. A significant relation between the multi-enzyme concentration and type of dietary treatment was observed in body weight gain and feed conversion ratio from 1 to 21 days of age. Nitrogen-free extract digestibility was significantly increased by using the SD diet compared with using the LDD. Multi-enzyme supplementation improved the digestibility of dry matter, crude protein, crude fiber, and nitrogen-free extract in the LDD. A significant relationship was found between the multi-enzyme concentration and type of dietary treatment on the pancreas, liver, and intestinal length percentages. The meat dry matter concentration was significantly higher in the LDD group than in the SD group. The low-density diet significantly reduced the total revenue compared with the SD, whereas broilers fed the SD recorded significantly higher total revenue and economic efficiency than those fed the LDD. The low-density diet significantly increased economic efficiency compared with the SD. Multi-enzymes significantly increased the total revenue, net revenue, and economic efficiency than the standard set. In conclusion, using multi-enzymes in broiler diets improved body weight gain. The LDD with multi-enzymes showed enhanced body weight gain compared with the SD without multi-enzymes.

“…Murakami et al (2000) reported that ginger has antioxidant capabilities comparable to or greater than those of vitamin E or C when used in the same quantities. Also, Al-Khalaifah et al (2022) revealed that ginger protects oxidatively stressed cells, which can occur in many pathological conditions and experimentally by many chemicals, including hydrogen peroxide (Abdul-Majeed and Abdul-Rahman, 2022).…”

This research was carried out to find out the ability of crushed dry ginger (Zingiber officinale) to recover or prevent the impacts of oxidative stress that is induced by hydrogen peroxide by studying some hematological and productive traits of quail. One hundred fifty sexed male quail (21 days old) were randomly distributed into five groups of 30 birds each (3 replicates). G1: control; G2: H2O2 group; G3: ginger group; G4: H2O2+ginger from the beginning of the experiment; G5: H2O2+ginger after the 2 nd week from the beginning of the experiment. Blood samples were collected at the age of 56 days, and the results showed that the addition of H2O2 led to a significantly increased (p≤0.05) feed consumption compared with other groups and enhanced significantly the feed conversion ratio compared with ginger and the control. Also, H2O2 caused a significant increase in blood glucose levels compared to the ginger group and a significant elevation in cholesterol and triglycerides compared with other groups, while PCV%, hemoglobin, and lymphocytes decreased significantly, which led to a significant elevation in the stress index in comparison to the ginger group. As for the impact of ginger, it was opposite to the effect of hydrogen peroxide, as it significantly reduced feed consumption and lowered blood glucose, cholesterol, and triglycerides, which led to an improvement in the blood picture and a decrease in the value of the stress index for the birds that ate ginger alone or the birds in the groups that ate ginger with hydrogen peroxide.
