Growth promotion in broilers by both oxytetracycline andMacleaya cordataextract is based on their anti-inflammatory properties

Abstract: The non-antibiotic anti-inflammatory theory of antimicrobial growth promoters (AGP) predicts that alternatives can be selected by simple in vitro tests. In vitro, the known AGP oxytetracycline (OTC) and a Macleaya cordata extract (MCE) had an anti-inflammatory effect with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration of 88 and 132 mg/l, respectively. In vivo, chickens received three different concentrations of MCE in drinking-water, OTC in feed and a control. Body weight (BW), feed intake (FI) and gain:feed (G:F) ra… Show more

“…The mechanism by which ASA exerts its activity in cells is not entirely clear [11], and the same is the case for MCE [10]. Still, MCE and ASA have clear anti-inflammatory effects on different cell types including enterocytes as demonstrated here.…”

“…This is consistent with the anti-inflammatory effects described by others in vitro and in vivo, although there are certainly differences concerning the expression of particular anti-inflammatory genes. For instance, as opposed to in vitro, in jejunal mucosa of broilers there was no effect of in feed MCE on IL-10 expression, and only a small quadratic effect on IL-1β [10]. Differences with other in vitro studies may be due to different cell types, incubation conditions and time et cetera.…”
