“…In a more recent trial, Podolian () showed that the addition of probiotic mixture to the broiler diets could improve the contents of lysine, arginine and methionine in the breast muscles. However, Mehdipour et al () recorded no positive changes in the physicochemical characteristics of thigh muscles when quails were fed on a diet supplemented with synbiotic. Moreover, others recorded that the supplementation of probiotics reduced the levels of isoleucine and leucine in pectoral and thigh muscles of broilers (Podolian, ).…”

“…The supplementation of antibiotics to poultry diets had resulted in major troubles such as drug residues in poultry meat and imbalance of microbial population dynamics in the intestine (Sorum & Sunde, ), as well as the hazard of antibiotic resistance (Abdel Aziz, El‐Nabtity, Barawy, & Saleh, ). Therefore, several candidates, such as synbiotics, plant extracts and organic acids (OA), have been utilized to replace the antibiotic additives (Mehdipour, Afsharmanesh, & Sami, ).…”

The objective of the current research was to explore the possible impacts of dietary supplementation with synbiotic and/or organic acids (OA) on the performance traits, carcass yields and muscle amino acid and fatty acid (FA) profiles of broilers. Randomly, a total of 160 day‐old chicks (Ross 308) were assigned into four equal groups (40 birds each), with each group subdivided into eight replicates (five birds/pen). The control group (CON) fed the basal diet with no supplements, while diets of the treated groups were supplemented with OA (Sodium butyrate 40%; 1 g/kg), synbiotic (comprised Bacillus subtilis, Saccharomyces cerivisiae, Streptococcus faecium, Mannan‐Oligosaccharides and β‐Glucan; 1 g/kg) and equal mix of OA and synbiotic (2 g/kg). Broilers fed the diets supplemented with synbiotic or synbiotic plus OA produced a significantly higher feed utilization efficiency (p = 0.021) and carcass yields (p = 0.038) than the CON and OA‐supplemented groups. The group fed the diet supplemented with the synbiotic showed lowered serum cholesterol (p = 0.049), triglycerides (p = 0.001) and very low density lipoprotein (p = 0.032) when compared with the CON group. Regarding the polyunsaturated FA (PUFA) of breast muscles, synbiotic‐supplemented birds had significantly lower n‐6:n‐3 ratio (p = 0.047), however, a greater hypocholesterolaemic to hypercholesterolaemic FA (H/H) ratio was reported when compared with the CON group (p = 0.002). Among the essential amino acids, the contents of leucine and methionine in the breast (p = 0.032 and 0.007 respectively) and thigh (p = 0.023 and 0.003 respectively) muscles were greater in the synbiotic‐supplemented birds compared with the CON group. In conclusion, the synbiotic‐supplemented diet improved the PUFA:SFA, n‐6:n‐3 and H/H ratios by altering the FA composition of broiler muscles, which are important with regards to human health.

“…Cardoso et al (2012) reported that in the finisher period from 36 to 42 days of age, the broilers receiving a dietary supplement with 60 mg/kg of piperine showed better weight gain and feed conversion rate (P<0.05). Lee et al (2003) reported that weight gain, feed intake and feed conversation ratio were not affected by 100 ppm dietary thymol or cinnamaldehyde, although Mehdipour et al (2013) showed that feeding 200 mg/kg cinnamon oil and virginiamycin improved feed conversion ratio compared to the control group at d21-35 and the Japanese quail at d0-35.

Feeding antibiotics as growth promoters has had a substantial role in the poultry industry historically, although many countries now limit their use due to concerns over residues and microbial resistance in human medicine. For many years medicinal plants have been used as pharmaceuticals in natural therapy. However, limited studies have been conducted to investigate the effects of certain plants as feed additives in poultry. The importance and use of black pepper, cinnamon and turmeric is reviewed in the following paper. Black pepper acts as an antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. Cinnamon has anti-allergenic, antioxidant, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antiviral and blood purifying properties and aids in digestion. Turmeric acts as an antioxidant, anti-mutagenic, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agent and protects the liver against a variety of toxins. However, a systematic approach toward the efficacy and safety of these plant materials and their active compounds in poultry is still lacking.

“…The pH of breast muscle was determined at 24 hours post mortem according to the method of Mehdipour, Afsharmanesh, and Sami (2013). Dripping and cooking losses were measured according to Honikel (1991) and thawing loss was measured according to Molette, Rémignon, and Babilé (2003).…”

The current study investigated the effect of dietary supplementation with probiotics and Yucca schidigera extract on physicochemical parameters, proximate composition, mineral content and fatty acid profile of broiler breast and thigh muscles. In total, 240 one-day old broilers were randomly allocated into two dietary treatments groups: 1) Control (basal diet), 2) experimental (basal diet with two probiotics Pediococcus acidilactici and Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Yucca schidigera extract). The results showed that the pH value was higher in the experimental group than in the control group (p < 0.05). However, drip, cook and thaw losses were not influenced by dietary treatment (p > 0.05). A significant increase in protein, Fe, Zn, Na, P and a significant decrease in lipid, Cu and Cr contents was exhibited in experimental group relative to control group (p < 0.05). The proportion of stearic acid and saturated fatty acids was significantly (p < 0.05) reduced, whereas linoleic acid and polyunsaturated fatty acids contents were significantly (p < 0.05) increased in breast and thigh muscles of fed the experimental diet. We concluded that additive supplementation of the diet with probiotics and Yucca schidigera extract could improve meat quality.
