“…Fallah & Mirzaei, 2016, reported that heat-stressed broilers fed 5 g/kg turmeric powder had low cholesterol, uric acid and triglyceride concentrations. Similarly, a recent study indicated that nutrient absorption and antioxidant were enhanced with the use of dietary turmeric in broiler chickens (Kpomasse et al, 2023).…”

“…Heat stress causes a decline in feed consumption and weight gain (Sohail et al, 2012). Raising broilers under unfavourable temperatures exposes them to deleterious effects, which affect their behaviour, metabolic rate, thyroid activity, gut health, growth, physiological response and immunity (AI‐Fataftah & Abdelqader, 2014; Brugaletta et al, 2022; Kpomasse et al, 2023; Uyanga et al, 2023).…”

The increase in global temperature and consumers' welfare has increased the use of phytogenic feed additives (PFA) to mitigate the negative effects of heat stress on chickens in recent years. Various bioactive compounds capable of improving the thermotolerance of broiler chickens during exposure to thermal challenges have been identified in different plant species and parts. This review is an overview of the roles of bioactive compounds of different PFA, such as polyphenols and flavonoids, antioxidants, growth‐promoting and immune‐modulating agents, in heat stress management in broiler chickens. Common PFA in use, particularly in tropical environments, are also discussed. An understanding of the roles of the PFA in chickens' thermotolerance could further stimulate interest in their use, thereby improving the birds' productivity and addressing consumers' concerns. This review collates the existing data on the roles of herbs in mitigating heat stress on chickens and highlights future research perspectives.

“…Poultry species, including broilers, are highly sensitive to heat stress, which occurs when the environmental temperature exceeds their thermoneutral zone (Akosile, Sogunle et al., 2023 ; Akosile, Kehinde et al., 2023 ; Kpomasse et al., 2021 ; Kpomasse, kouame et al., 2023 ; Pawar et al., 2016 ). Heat stress negatively affects livestock growth, feed intake, nutrient utilization and immune functions (Abbas et al., 2022 ; Kpomasse, Oso et al., 2023 ; Yahav, 2004 ). These adverse effects result in reduced production efficiency, decreased meat yield and increased susceptibility to diseases (Song & King, 2015 ).…”

Climate change has emerged as a significant occurrence that adversely affects broiler production, especially in tropical climates. Broiler chickens, bred for rapid growth and high meat production, rely heavily on optimal environmental conditions to achieve their genetic potential. However, climate change disrupts these conditions and poses numerous challenges for broiler production. One of the primary impacts of climate change on broiler production is the decreased ability of birds to attain their genetic potential for faster growth. Broilers are bred to possess specific genetic traits that enable them to grow rapidly and efficiently convert feed into meat. However, in tropical climates affected by climate change, the consequent rise in daily temperatures, increased humidity and altered precipitation patterns create an unfavourable environment for broilers. These conditions impede their growth and development, preventing them from reaching their maximum genetic influence, which is crucial for achieving desirable production outcomes. Furthermore, climate change exacerbates the existing challenges faced by broiler production systems. Higher feed costs impact the industry's economic viability and limit the availability of quality nutrition for the birds, further hampering their growth potential. In addition to feed scarcity, climate change also predisposes broiler chickens to thermal stress. This review collates existing information on climate change and its impact on broiler production, including nutrition, immune function, health and disease susceptibility. It also summarizes the challenges of broiler production under hot and humid climate conditions with different approaches to ameliorating the effects of harsh climatic conditions in poultry.

“…On the other hand, several studies have been conducted on the role of curcumin in stress management in animal husbandry and aquaculture. Dietary curcumin supplementation has been found to benefit the growth performance of fish and young pigs [10]; enhance antioxidant status, nutrient absorption, thermotolerance and intestinal morphology in broiler chickens [11]; and improve nonspecific immune responses and stress resistance in the juvenile of greater amberjack [12]. Therefore, the following review aims to highlight the most significant effects of curcumin on stress in terrestrial animals, birds, and aquatic animals, especially fisheries, based on recent studies.…”

“…Moreover, the addition of turmeric root powder, as well as its mixture with carnation flowers, to the diet of broilers under heat stress conditions showed an increase in the percentage of lymphocytes and the concentration of total protein and globulin; meanwhile, while the levels of glucose and uric acid and the number of harmful bacteria were declined [ 100 ]. Correspondingly, the 8 g/kg diet of C. longa powder also resulted in better intestinal morphology under hot tropical environments, leading to the amelioration of nutrient absorption and thermotolerance of broiler chickens [ 11 ]. On the other hand, dietary curcumin might intensify antioxidant ability and immunity and ease the stress symptoms of laying hens under high-temperature environment conditions, as visualized by the activities of CAT, SOD, GSH-Px, and T-AOC in the liver, heart, and lung tissues for curcumin-treatment groups being higher, while the statistics for the corticosterone levels, ALT, and inflammatory-cytokine response were lower than that for control groups [ 101 , 102 ].…”

Stress has brought about a variety of harmful impacts on different animals, leading to difficulties in the management of animal husbandry and aquaculture. Curcumin has been recognized as a potential component to ameliorate the adverse influence of animal stress induced by toxicity, inflammation, diseases, thermal effect, and so on. In detail, this compound is known to offer various outstanding functions, including antibacterial properties, antioxidant effects, immune response recovery, and behavioral restoration of animals under stress conditions. However, curcumin still has some limitations, owing to its low bioavailability. This review summarizes the latest updates on the regulatory effects of curcumin in terms of stress management in terrestrial, avian, and aquatic animals.
