“…Liang et al (2012) found that diets supplemented with skullcapflavone enhanced ADG and ADFI of broilers. Ma et al (2015) also reported that flavones of sea buckthorn fruits improved ADFI, ADG and final body weight of broilers. However, in the present study, we found that the diets supplemented with SBGFN as SBGFN-Zn did not influence the growth performance of broilers, which was similar to the reports of Kuhn et al (2004) and Solcan et al (2013).…”

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation with flavonoid from Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi (SBGFN) as SBGFN-zinc (SBGFN-Zn) on growth performance, meat quality, immune responses and antioxidation of broilers. A total of 450 one-d-old Arbor Acres male broilers were randomly allocated to 5 treatments with 6 replicates of 15 birds per replicate for each treatment in a completely randomized design. Birds were fed a SBGFN-unsupplemented cornsoybean meal basal diet (control) or the basal diet supplemented with 60, 120, 180 or 240 mg SBGFN kg-1 from SBGFN-Zn for 42 d. Dietary SBGFN supplementation affected (P<0.03) drip loss in thigh muscle, total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity in liver of broilers at 42 d of age. Chicks fed the diets supplemented with 120, 180 and 240 mg SBGFN kg-1 had lower (P<0.03) drip loss of thigh muscle than those fed the control diet. Chicks fed the diet supplemented with 180 mg SBGFN kg-1 had higher (P<0.03) liver T-SOD and GSH-Px activity than those fed the diets supplemented with 0, 60 and 120 mg SBGFN kg-1. The results from the present study indicate that dietary supplementation with 180 mg SBGFN kg-1 as SBGFN-Zn improved both meat quality and antioxidative ability of broilers.

“…Furthermore, considerable paper showed that flavonoids had positive effects on growth performance. Ma et al [48] evaluated that the ADFI and BW of the treatment group (basal diet supplemented with flavones of sea buckthorn fruits) were higher than those of the control group. Ouyang et al [20] demonstrated that alfalfa flavonoids could improve the ADG and BW of broilers.…”

The flavonoids were extracted from alfalfa using ethanol assisted with ultrasonic extraction and purified by D101 macroporous resin column chromatography. The chemical composition and content of ethanol elution fractions (EEFs) were assessed by ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography and hybrid quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS) and aluminum nitrate-sodium nitrite-sodium hydroxide colorimetric method. The in vitro antioxidant activity of two EEFs was conducted by scavenging DPPH free radical, and the main antioxidants of 75% EEFs were screened using DPPH-UHPLC. Moreover, the in vivo antioxidant activity of 75% EEFs and the growth performance of broilers were studied. The results showed that the content of 30% and 75% EEFs was 26.20% and 62.57%. Fifteen compounds were identified from 75% EEFs, and five of them were reported in alfalfa for the first time. The scavenging activity of 75% and 30% EEFs (200 μg/mL) against DPPH was 95.51% and 78.85%. The peak area of 5,3′,4′-trihydroxyflavone and hyperoside was decreased by 82.69% and 76.04%, which exhibited strong scavenging capacities. The total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) level of three treated groups against the normal control group (NC) fed with basal diet significantly increased by 3.89-24.49%, 0.53-7.39%, and 0.79-11.79%, respectively. While the malondialdehyde (MDA) decreased by 0.47-18.27%. Compared with the NC, the feed to gain ratio (F : G) of three treated groups was lowered by 2.98-16.53% and survival rate of broilers significantly increased. Consequently, 75% EEFs extracted from alfalfa exhibited powerful antioxidant activities and might be a potential feed additive to poultry and livestock.

“…Modern poultry species such as broiler chickens are highly sensitive to heat stress because of feather cover, lack of sudoriferous glands and fast growth (St-Pierre et al, 2010;Piestun et al, 2013). A temperature above 30 °C represents a heatstressed condition for birds and is one of the most common stressors that affect the production criteria in poultry (Kamboh et al, 2013;Ma et al, 2015). Studies on broilers showed that heat stress disrupted the equilibrium between antioxidants and reactive oxygen species (Gu et al, 2012;Nisar et al, 2013), increased tissue damage (Abidin & Khatoon, 2013;Huang et al, 2018), impaired metabolic function (Habibian et al, 2014), and even changed the bacterial composition in the intestine (Wang et al, 2018;Shi et al, 2019).…”

A study was conducted to determine the effects of dietary hydroalcoholic willow bark extract powder (HWE) supplemented to broilers (14-42 days old) that were exposed to heat stress, on the performance, serum biochemical parameters, liver oxidative status and caecal microflora. The feeding trial was conducted on 120 Cobb 500 broilers (14 days old), assigned to three treatments (T0, T25, and T50), each treatment consisting of eight replicates (five chicks per replicate). The broilers were housed in an experimental hall at a 32 °C constant temperature and 23 hours light regimen. Unlike the dietary control treatment (T0), the experimental treatments were supplemented with 25 g HWE powder/100 kg diet (T25), and 50 g HWE powder 100 kg diet (T50), respectively. Dietary HWE powder did not affect the broilers' performance significantly (14-42 days). A significantly lower amount of malondialdehyde was noticed in the liver of broilers from T25 and T50 treatments in comparison with broilers from T0. Also, the serum cholesterol, triglycerides and alanine aminotransferase were significantly lower in broilers fed with T50, compared with those fed with T0. At 35 and at 42 days, the broilers from T25 and T50 recorded a significantly lower number of E. coli and staphylococci and a higher number of lactobacilli in the caecum than those of T0. It could be concluded that supplementation of dietary HWE powder reduced some of the adverse effects of heat stress, the most effective being the level of 50 g/100 kg diet.
