“…In comparison with ducks in ochratoxin A (2 mg/kg −1 ), dietary curcumin increased the growth performance of ducks fed corn contaminated with ochratoxin A [ 20 ]. Abd El-Hack et al (2021) reported that biological curcumin can improve the growth performance of broilers increasing nutrient intake and antioxidant capacity [ 21 ]. In addition, similar studies demonstrated that supplementing the diet with curcumin enhanced growth performance by increasing antioxidation capacity and improving the intestinal integrity of poultry, such as in Arbor Acres broiler chickens [ 22 ], Ross broiler chickens [ 12 ], wenchang broiler chickens [ 8 ], and quail [ 9 ].…”

This study aimed at examining the effects of curcumin supplementation on growth performance, antioxidant capacity, and meat quality of ducks. To investigate these effects, 600 healthy ducks were randomly assigned to four treatment groups with 10 replicates pens, and each pen contained 15 ducks. Ducks were fed a diet containing curcumin at levels of 0, 300, 400, and 500 mg kg−1 in different groups. The results demonstrated that curcumin supplementation is beneficial to the growth performance (p < 0.05) of ducks and antioxidant capacity (p < 0.05) of duck meat. In addition, dietary curcumin raised the meat quality of ducks, improving the meat color, increasing water-holding capacity, and inhibiting lipid and protein oxidation. In conclusion, the present study provides important insights into both the nutrient and qualities of ducks, finding that a dietary inclusion of 400–500 mg/kg of curcumin (kg−1) has the greatest effect.

“…In addition, peptides and essential oils also act as a powerful antimicrobial agent against Gram negative and/or Gram positive bacteria ( El-Saadony et al, 2020 , 2021b , c ; Saad et al, 2020 , 2021c ; El-Tarabily et al, 2021 ). The antimicrobial mechanism of these compounds is represented in their electrostatic interaction with specific compounds in the bacterial cell wall, which disrupted and allowed the additives' entry and changes the behavior of DNA in the bacterial cell causing cell death ( Abd El-Hack et al, 2021b , c , d ).…”

Phytochemical control of poultry coccidiosis: a review

Avian coccidiosis is a major parasitic disorder in chickens resulting from the intracellular apicomplexan protozoa Eimeria that target the intestinal tract leading to a devastating disease. Eimeria life cycle is complex and consists of intra- and extracellular stages inducing a potent inflammatory response that results in tissue damage associated with oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, diarrheal hemorrhage, poor growth, increased susceptibility to other disease agents, and in severe cases, mortality. Various anticoccidial drugs and vaccines have been used to prevent and control this disorder; however, many drawbacks have been reported. Drug residues concerning the consumers have directed research toward natural, safe, and effective alternative compounds. Phytochemical/herbal medicine is one of these natural alternatives to anticoccidial drugs, which is considered an attractive way to combat coccidiosis in compliance with the “anticoccidial chemical-free” regulations. The anticoccidial properties of several natural herbal products (or their extracts) have been reported. The effect of herbal additives on avian coccidiosis is based on diminishing the oocyst output through inhibition or impairment of the invasion, replication, and development of Eimeria species in the gut tissues of chickens; lowering oocyst counts due to the presence of phenolic compounds in herbal extracts which reacts with cytoplasmic membranes causing coccidial cell death; ameliorating the degree of intestinal lipid peroxidation; facilitating the repair of epithelial injuries; and decreasing the intestinal permeability induced by Eimeria species through the upregulation of epithelial turnover. This current review highlights the anticoccidial activity of several herbal products, and their other beneficial effects.

“…The absence of Meissner's plexuses which sense the lumen environment might be related to smooth muscle hypertrophy ( Pavone et al., 2019 ). Through this study, we recommend paying attention to pigeon breeding and public awareness to reduce the risk of contracting diseases and transmitting these diseases to other avian and animal species as well as humans, through the application of biosecurity & quarantine measures, strengthening the general health of pigeons by using of balanced feed and supplying the bird with safe environmentally friend preparations as herbal extracts ( Abou-Kassem et al., 2021a ; Abd El-Hack et al., 2021a ), essential oils ( Alagawany et al., 2021a ; Dosoky et al., 2021 ; El-Tarabily et al., 2021 ; Mohamed et al., 2021 ), essential amino acids ( Abou-Kassem et al., 2021b ), bioactive peptides ( El-Saadony et al., 2021a , b ), probiotics ( Alagawany et al., 2021b , El-Saadony et al., 2021c ), prebiotics ( Abd El-Hack et al., 2020 , 2021b ; Yaqoob et al., 2021 ), plant-derived natural bioactive compounds ( El-Saadony et al., 2021d ; Raza et al., 2021 ; Seidavi et al., 2021a , b ), biological synthesized nanoparticles ( Abd El‐Hack et al., 2021c , d ; El-Saadony et al., 2021e ), and phytogenic compounds ( Abo Ghanima et al., 2021 , Ashour et al., 2021a ; Abdel-Moneim et al. ; Ashour et al., 2020b , Reda et al., 2021 ).…”

Parasitism is a divesting problem that is frequently overlooked and may result in severe prominent clinical manifestation. This study aimed to investigate the seasonal and sexual prevalence of the gastrointestinal nematode Ascaridia columbae ( A. columbae ) infection among domestic pigeons in Giza governorate, Egypt, during the period from 2020 to 2021. One hundred and sixty suspected pigeons were clinically investigated. Blood & tissue samples were collected from infected birds to estimate serum zinc concentration, malondialdehyde ( MDA ), and nitric oxide levels. As well as tumor necrosis factor-alpha ( TNF-α ), interleukin 1β ( IL1β ) activity, and histopathological examination were estimated; also, worms were collected for morphological identification using electron microscope ( SEM ) and molecularly identified using polymerase chain reaction ( PCR ), further sequenced, and submitted in GenBank with accession number MZ343369. The average ascarid (length × breadth) were 72.4 ± 3.3 µm (70.5 – 79.9 µm) × 39.9 ± 2.5 µm (37.6 – 42.3 µm). The distinguishing morphological characteristics that have been noticed in ascarid worms were creamy white, cylindrical worm with triradiate lips with wide cephalic alae extending on both the lateral sides and filariform esophagus. In males, spicules were almost equal with the presence of precloacal chitinous-rimmed sucker. The prevalence of A. columbae infection was (63.1%) with a higher incidence in females (79.2%) than males (46.1%). The highest seasonal prevalence was observed in winter (92.5%), followed by summer and spring (87.5% and 55%), respectively while, the lowest prevalence was observed in autumn (17.5%). The intensity of worms in the infected intestine varied from 5 to 120 adult worms. The histopathological examination revealed the presence of chronic diffuse moderate catarrhal enteritis with roundworms in the lumen. Infected birds showed a significant increase in nitric oxide and MDA levels while serum zinc levels were lowered in infected pigeons. Infected pigeons revealed a marked increase in IL1-β and TNFα than apparently healthy ones.
