“…While the values reported for sheep were in agreement with (Costa et al, 2009;Romero-Bernal et al, 2017;Radzik-rant et al, 2023) or higher than literature reports and findings (Mioč et al, 2007;Lima et al, 2022;Latoch et al, 2023;Lunesu et al, 2023;Uushona et al, 2023). The rates found for chicken meat were higher than the reported values Xu et al, 2021;Sugiharto et al, 2022;Weng et al, 2022;Fathi et al, 2023). The protein values found for rabbit meat were similar to the results found in the other studies (Belichovska et al, 2017;Frunză et al, 2023;Galeano-Díaz et al, 2023).…”

The study aimed to comparatively examine meats in terms of chemical composition originating from beef, lamb, chicken, and rabbit consumed in Türkiye and to reveal their superior aspects compared to each other and also to determine the place of rabbit meat, which is not commonly consumed among other meats. As material of the study 48 meat samples were used, 12 from each of the beef, lamb, chicken, and rabbit species provided that each of them belonged to a different animal. Moisture, ash, crude protein, and crude fat levels of the meat samples were compared between meat sources. The highest value in terms of fat and ash ratio were determined in lamb meat (P<0.001). Chicken meat had the highest protein ratio. Rabbit and lamb meats were followed, respectively (P<0.001). In terms of moisture beef meat had the highest values and there was no significant differences between other source of meat. In conclusion, as rabbit meat had higher protein ratio and lower fat ratio compared with other meat sources, it would be beneficial to expand the production and consumption. Chicken meat was advised to include in diets of patients suffering from obesity or cardio-vasculer diseases because of the highest protein and lower fat content. Lamb meat should be an indispensable part of diets due to its rich ash content. As the highest moisture content beef it could be preferred for making different kinds of meat by-products and consumed by the majority of people.

“…Again, Williams et al [9] described that intestinal coliform count reduced in broilers fed the diet supplemented EP (Ethiopian pepper) and those fed the EPCL (mixture of Ethiopian pepper and Clover) supplemented diet. Black cumin seed meal supplementation (BCSM) at levels of 40 and 60 g per kg diet also effectively decreased the caecal microbial counts in broilers [16]. All these findings suggest the reduction of bacterial load in guts after inclusion of plant extracts in diets.…”

“…In recent published report displayed the average live weight and body weight gain of commercial boilers were notably increased along with significantly improved FCR when basal diet was supplemented with 2.0% mint leaf [15]. Black cumin seed meal supplementation (BCSM) at levels of 40 and 60 g per kg diet significantly improve the body weight gain, FCR and survivability of commercial boilers compare with control and 20 g supplemented diet during a rearing period of 42 days [16]. In contrast, Cristo et al [17] reported that vegetable extract (carvacrol, cinnamaldehyde, and eugenol) from oregano, cinnamon, and cloves did not affect broiler chickens' productive performance or carcass yield.…”

An experiment was conducted with 648-day-old Cobb 500 broiler chicks to evaluate the effects of Alquermold natural (AMN) on overall growth performance, carcass characteristics and inhibition of enteric bacterial growth of commercial broilers. The birds were randomly assigned to four different treatments: T0 (Control), T1 (0.5 g/kg AMN), T2 (1.0 g/kg AMN) and T3 (1.0 g/kg Mold Inhibitor (MI)), respectively. They were reared for up to 28 days. At the end of experiment, the birds’ growth performances in terms of body weight (BW), body weight gain (BWG), feed intake (FI), feed conversion ratio (FCR), survival, and meat production characteristics were recorded and calculated. Weekly fecal sample collection and microbiological count were performed to determine the bacterial load, specifically Escherichia coli and anaerobic bacteria in the broiler feces. The results showed that birds receiving 1.0 g/kg AMN had significantly higher BW and BWG (p0.01) than the control, 0.5 g/kg AMN, and MI groups. The FI and FCR of broilers were comparable in all treatment groups. There were no significant (p > 0.05) changes in meat yield parameters such as dressing percentage, neck, shank, drumstick, breast meat, thigh meat, and wing meat. However, when compared to the other dietary treatments, the bacterial load (E. coli and anaerobic bacteria) was significantly lower in the birds fed 1.0 g/kg AMN. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that feeding AMN at a rate of 1.0 g/kg may be considered for improving growth performance, maximizing feed utilization, and inhibiting bacterial load in the intestine of commercial broiler chickens.

“…It has largely been used in folk medicine in Arabic and Asian regions for the remediation of numerous ailments, such as cough, fever, headache, toothache, gastrointestinal problems, diarrhea, rheumatism, influenza, diabetes, and hypertension [5]. Due to the highly valuable functional nutrients in black cumin seed, its extract can fortify yogurt [6], honey [7], can be used as a putative therapeutic agent [8], or a supplementary in the broiler industry [9]. Recently, N. sativa has drawn the attention of scientists to the therapeutic values and pharmacological effects of its seeds.…”

Black cumin or Nigella sativa L. is a medicinal plant of the Ranunculaceae family that has enormous importance. It has traditionally been used to cure a lot of diseases since ancient times. In the current study, the effects of different auxins on callus induction and subsequent somatic embryo formation of N. sativa L. cv. Black Diamond were examined. The best result of callus induction was observed when cotyledon explants were incubated in a Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 1.0 mg L−1 α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). The formation of somatic embryos was achieved efficiently from cotyledon-derived calli cultured on a 2 mg L−1 Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA)-containing medium. Furthermore, histological analysis of embryogenic calli was used to detect the presence of different developmental stages of somatic embryos. In contrast to the calli and embryos of N. sativa ‘Black Diamond’, which initiated in the dark, light was necessary for the complete differentiation of callus and embryo cultures into shoots/developed plants. Hypocotyl-derived calli and embryos were successfully differentiated on IBA at 2.0, 1.0 mg L−1, and NAA at 2.0 mg L−1. To the best of our knowledge, this work can be considered the first report on the differentiation of N. sativa ‘Black Diamond’ somatic embryos into developed plants. Moreover, the metabolic profiles of secondary products of N. sativa ‘Black Diamond’ callus and embryo cultures originated from the best auxin treatments identified and were compared with that of intact seeds. Callus cultures of N. sativa ‘Black Diamond’ contained thymoquinone (TQ) in a significant percentage of the peak area (2.76%). Therefore, callus cultures could be used as a perfect alternative source of TQ for pharmaceutical and therapeutic purposes. In addition, fatty acids and/or their esters were recorded as the major components in callus and embryo cultures. These vital compounds could be isolated and used for numerous industrial applications.
