“…In contrast to our data, Zadeh et al (2021 reported that, when compared to the control group, there was a significant drop in both the rate of egg production and the mass of eggs ( P < 0.05). Similarly, Gumus et al (2018) showed that adding sumac to the food at a 0.5% level had no statistically significant influence on egg production or weight when compared to the control group, which contradicts our findings.…”

“…Our results corresponded with previous studies ( Mansoub, 2011 ), who found that feeding broiler chickens with 2% sumac improved feed consumption, body weight, weight gain, and FCR, and the results were shown to be statistically significant. The results reported by Zadeh et al (2021) also showed that the FCR rose in the group given sumac fruit powder, as compared to the control group. Our findings also agreed with Abdulwahid et al (2022) who found that combining onion and sumac powders in the Japanese quail diet reduced feed consumption while producing the highest FCR.…”

“…Serum and egg yolk lipids were analyzed at a 550 nm wavelength by an autoanalyzer machine (model Technicon RA1000) using the Pars Azmoun kits according to the enzymatic method described in their instruments. The other serum biochemical parameters, including the levels of liver enzymes such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), as well as total protein, uric acid, malondialdehyde (MDA), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC), were measured by the Pars Azmoun kits briefly described in a previous study (Mosayyeb Zadeh et al., 2021 ). As a short description, the serum TAC level was determined by Randox Total Antioxidant Control Cat.…”

Background According to the promising outcomes acquired in recent studies that focused on using natural feed additives in animal nutrition, poultry nutritionists have also been interested in investigating these medicinal herbs' effects on poultry performance and egg characteristics. Pennyroyal ( Mentha pulegium L.), a natural source of antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti‐inflammatory, etc. compounds, is recommended as a potential alternative for antibiotics, with similar benefits and no adverse effects on animal health or their products. Considerable effects have been reported on laying hens’ performance and their eggs’ internal and external traits by pennyroyal inclusion in their diets. Objectives Due to the different results reported by pennyroyal inclusion in laying hens’ diets in recent limited studies, this study was designed to reinvestigate the impacts of pennyroyal ( Mentha pulegium L.) supplementation (PS) on productive performance, egg quality traits, and biochemical compounds in blood and egg yolk in aged laying hens. The findings of this experiment may help for a better understanding of PS impacts on desired parameters, along with improving aged laying hens’ performance. Materials and Methods A total of 144 Leghorn (Hyline‐W36 strain) laying hens (53 weeks old) were used to investigate the effects of PS on performance, egg quality, and biochemical parameters of blood and egg yolk in old laying hens. The animals were distributed into three treatment groups; including a control diet (without PS), 0.5%, and 1% PS diets with six replicates and eight birds per replicate. Results The results indicated that the egg production rate (except for week eight) and egg mass were significantly reduced by PS in the laying hens’ diet during the first four weeks and the total period of the experiment (P<0.05). However, the feed conversion ratio increased by PS (P<0.05). Based on the egg quality trait evaluations (week 4), the yolk percentage, yolk height, and yolk index reduced, while shell‐breaking strength represented a significant increase in PS groups (P<0.05). However, shell thickness and albumen percentage reduced and increased by 1% PS, respectively (P<0.05). At week eight, the Haugh unit reduced while the albumen pH increased by PS (P<0.05). The findings revealed a decline in the egg density in 1% PS groups (P<0.05). In the case of serum biochemical parameters, alanine aminotransferase increased, whereas malondialdehyde (MDA) levels reduced in the PS groups (P<0.05). Moreover, the triglyceride levels of both serum and egg yolk (accompanied by the very low‐density lipoprotein level of serum) decreased by PS (P<0.05). Conclusions In conclusion, PS reduced serum and egg yolk triglyceride levels, accompanied by serum MDA, along with reducing production performance.
