“…It was seen that the addition of FO enriched with n-3 PUFA in broiler diets showed an inflammatory inhibition and lowered the plasma tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin-1 (IL-1) from peripheral macrophages (4). Shawky et al (52) assessed the effects of linseed oil and fennel oil on the immunity of 90 Cobb broiler chickens. The dietary treatments included a basal diet (control), a basal diet supplemented with 0.2 ml linseed oil, and a basal diet supplemented with 0.3 ml fennel oil.…”

Lately, dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have shown substantial importance in human and animal nutrition, especially those of the n-3 group. Development and optimal functioning of the immune system are directed affected by diet. These dietary fatty acids have an important impact on the health and immune competence of various species including human beings. They are essential for the modulation of immune responses in health and disease. Fatty acid composition of immune cells can be modulated by the action of dietary fats and the outcomes in the composition can produce functional effects on reactivity and functioning of immune cells in a short period. There are several mechanisms involved in impacting dietary fatty acids on immune function; however, lipid mediator synthesis from PUFAs is of great importance in terms of inflammation. The objectives of this article are reviewing studies on the impact of PUFA in the diet on phagocytosis of chickens, murine, rats, ruminants, and humans. It also sheds light on the possible mechanism by which this immunomodulation occurs.

“…Additionally, it is believed that FS's bioactive components and antioxidant properties contribute to improving the immune response in birds by protecting cells from oxidative damage and enhancing cell function and proliferation (Ma et al, 2005). It is thought that thyroid hormones play a significant role in generating antibodies by supplying the energy needed to transform bone marrow cells into plasma cells (Shawky et al, 2020). This finding is consistent with our observation that a significant increase in the T 3 hormone of broilers in the same group accompanied the enhanced humoral immunity in the broilers fed on FS.…”

The current research sought to determine the impact of dietary fennel seed (FS) inclusion on broiler chickens' productive performance, slaughter traits, biochemical components, cholesterol profile, stress indicators, and immune status. Four hundred male Cobb500 broiler chickens were grown on floor pens and fed a mash-based corn-soybean diet from one day to 21 days old. From 22-42 days of age, the birds were divided into four experimental groups (10 replicate pens × 10 chicks each) in which the birds were fed on a finisher-based diet supplemented with 0, 10, 20, and 30 g/kg FS powder (FS0, FS10, FS20, and FS30 groups, respectively). Data were analyzed using one-way ANO-VA with a polynomial contrasts test to explore the linear and quadratic trends of the FS increasing levels in broiler diets. The overall amount of feed consumed was unaffected by the FS diets. Still, increasing dietary FS levels enhanced the broilers' final weights, gains, and feed-to-gain ratios (p < 0.05). As the dietary FS levels increased in broiler diets, weights for the carcass yield, breast, liver, and spleen increased substantially (p < 0.05). The plasma total protein and triiodothyronine hormone levels were remarkably (p < 0.05) enhanced by adding FS to broiler meals. At the same time, the concentrations of alanine transferase, aspartate transferase, and uric acid were significantly (p < 0.05) lowered. Additionally, the triglycerides were dramatically (p < 0.05) decreased while the high-density lipoprotein composed a higher proportion than the low-density-lipoprotein of the total cholesterols (p < 0.05). Additionally, as dietary FS levels increased, plasma corticosterone (CORT) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels as stress markers in broilers reduced significantly (p < 0.05). On the other hand, adding FS to broiler diets considerably (p < 0.05) improved both the humoral and cellular immunity, as determined by the antibody (AB) titers and the phytohemagglutinin-wattle reaction (PHA-WR), respectively. It was observed that most of these measures showed a linear trend response to the rise in FS levels up to 30 g/kg of broiler diets. The FS30 group presented the lowest values of CORT and MDA by approximately 21% and 15%, respectively, and the maximum levels of AB titer and PHA-WR by 38% and 3-fold, respectively. These findings suggested that dietary supplementation with FS would be a useful nutritional strategy to enhance poultry production.

“…Triiodothyronine is the first thyroid hormone that stimulates the immune system. Increased thyroid hormone levels are required to provide the energy required for the conversion of bone marrow cells to plasma cells, which results in antibody production [ 112 ].…”

Following the European Union’s restriction on antibiotic growth promoters, research on enhancing gut health has been accelerated. As the poultry industry is facing issues that were previously managed by antimicrobial growth promoters, the hunt for the best remedies continues to find suitable alternatives. Simultaneously, social pressure is mounting to reduce the usage of antibiotics and replace them with other feed additives. Consumers believe a number of accessible options to be safe, with phytogenics playing a crucial role. This review describes how the use of fennel seeds could be beneficial for poultry. An overview of the broad chemical diversity of fennel is presented together with their physicochemical and biological properties. According to investigations, fennel seeds have a variety of biological effects in birds, including improved performance, higher immune cell proliferation, reduced oxidative stress, and boosted antibody titers against infectious diseases. The efficacy of poultry outcomes is determined by the stage and age of the plants, the extraction process, the geographical location, the chicken species, management techniques, and the concentrations administered. The present review focuses on the effects of fennel seeds as a feed additive on poultry growth, carcass quality, blood biochemistry, antioxidant activity, immunity, and microbiological aspects.
