“…Phytochemical investigations showed that lasia contains triglochinin, (Nahrstedt, 1975), ß-sitosterol acetate, stigmasterol, flavonoids, flavone C-glycosides (Hong Van et al, 2006;Maisuthisakul et al, 2007), terpenoids, phenolic compounds, coumarins and alkaloids (Napiroon et al, 2013). Suthikrai et al (2006) reported that rhizome, leave and root of lasia contain testosterone and estrogen, suggesting that lasia is served as a natural source of phytoestrogens and phytoandrogens. Kaewamatawong et al (2013) showed that male rats administrated with lasia rhizome extract orally produced a significant increase in testosterone levels, testicular weights and sperm count when compared to control rats.…”

“…Kaewamatawong et al (2013) showed that male rats administrated with lasia rhizome extract orally produced a significant increase in testosterone levels, testicular weights and sperm count when compared to control rats. Interestingly, lasia has been used as a feed additive to enhance growth and feed utilization efficiency in cattle and buffalo (Suthikrai et al, 2007;Jintana et al, 2013). Therefore, these data could support the growth promoting potential of lasia in animal production sections.…”

Lasia (Lasia spinosa (L.) Thwaites) has long been used since ancient time for the treatment of various ailments in man. However, the use of this plant in fish culture as a natural feed additive in fish diets to improve growth rate has not yet been studied. Thus, the aims of this research were conducted to investigate the effects of lasia extract (LSE) on growth performance and intestinal histology of hybrid catfish (Clarias macrocephalus x C. gariepinus). Arial parts of lasia were extracted with 75% ethanol. Preliminary phytochemical screening was examined by using colorimetric assay. Fish with an average of initial weight of 7.00±1.00 g were divided into 4 treatments of 3 replications before being fed diets incorporated with different levels (0, 1, 3 and 5% based on dried weight) of LSE. Fish were fed ad libitum two times a day with a rate of 3% of live body weight for 8 weeks. Phytochemical prospecting of LSE exhibited the presence of flavonoids, terpenoids, phenolic compounds, steroids, saponins, coumarins, glycosides and anthraquinones. After a feeding trial, growth performance and feed utilization efficiencies of fish fed with the experimental diets were significantly improved when compared to the basal diet (P<0.05). Survival rate, intestinosomatic index and condition factor were not affected by the diets (P>0.05). Villi height, villi width, muscularis thickness, microvilli

“…In addition, the current study displayed no signi cant difference in mortality rate was noticed in groups that received LST compared with the control, which agreed with the described by Munglue et al [20] who perceived no signi cant alterations concerning survival rate in sh as a response to the dietary LST. In parallel, the supplementation of LST in buffalo had a positive impact on the growth indices [21]. However, the underlying mechanisms of the growth-promoting effect of LST are still not understood.…”

“…As natural additives in animal feed, several phytohormones found in medicinal plants are proven to promote growth and feed utilization. Suthikrai et al [21] found LST contains considerable levels of natural phytoestrogens (10.76-14.55pg/g DM) and phytoandrogens (0.15-0.92pg/g DM). Therefore, it is reasonable to hypothesize that the production of growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-I may be modulated by phytohormones, resulting in the improvement of growth.…”

“…Phenolic molecules, such as gentistic acid, apigenin, syringic acid, morin, cinnamic acid and 4hydroxybenzoic acid, are the main component of LST extract and have been known for their antioxidants, anti-microbial, immunomodulatory and anti-in ammatory capacity [18,19]. Besides, in some earlier studies, dietary inclusion of LST meal has been described to have boosted the performance production and feed e ciency in cattle, buffalo and sh [17,20,21]. This may attribute to an increase of the goblet cells and enhance the intestinal health in sh by LST supplementation [20].…”

Background: Lasia spinosa Thw. (LST) has been proven to be nutritious and have growth-promoting, antioxidant functions and so on, but its effect in chicken is still unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of dietary LST powder supplementation on growth performance, blood metabolites, antioxidant status, intestinal morphology and cecal microbiome in Chinese yellow-feathered broilers.Methods: A total of 400 one-day-old yellow-feather broilers were randomly allotted to 4 dietary treatments: LST0 group (a basal diet), LST1 group (a basal diet with 1% LST powder), LST2 group (a basal diet with 2% LST powder), LST4 group (a basal diet with 4% LST powder), ten replicates for each treatment and 10 broilers in each treatment group. Results: Results indicated that the average daily feed intake of broilers during 22-42d and the average daily gain of chickens over all periods were significantly increased by dietary supplementation of LST powder compared to a control group, while the feed conversion ratio during the overall periods was markedly decreased. The levels of SOD, CAT and GSH-Px in serum, liver and breast muscle were also significantly increased in LST supplemented groups, while ROS and MDA in serum, liver and breast muscle were decreased. Furthermore, the levels of TG and LDL-C were significantly decreased by the addition of dietary LST powder, while levels of HDL-C, Ca, Fe, Mg and P were linearly increased. Regarding the gut morphometric, crypt depth was significantly decreased by LST supplementation, while villus height and the ratio of villus height to crypt depth were notably increased. Sequencing of 16S rRNA from the cecal contents of broilers revealed that the composition of the chicken gut microbiota was altered by LST supplementation. Moreover, the diversity of microbiota in broilers was increased in the LST1 groups but was decreased in the LST2 and LST4 groups compared with LST0 groups. The differential genera enriched in LST1 groups, such as Bacillus, Odoribacter, Sutterella, Anaerofilum, Peptococcus, were closely related to the increased growth performance, antioxidant status, intestinal morphology, Ca, Mg and reduced blood lipid in the treated broilers. Conclusions: The supplementation of LST powder to the diets of Chinese yellow-feathered broilers improved growth performance, lipid profile, antioxidant indices, intestinal morphology and gut microbiota balance, with its optimum level in yellow-feathered broilers’ diet being 1%.
