“…Lycopene is a predominant carotenoid mainly found in tomatoes and tomato products, and is known to enhance the production of antioxidant enzymes through activation of antioxidant response element in the DNA [ 104 ]. Supplementation of lycopene (200 or 400 mg/kg of feed) in heat-stressed broilers improved the cumulative feed intake, body weight, and FCR [ 105 ].…”

“…Supplementation of lycopene (200 or 400 mg/kg of feed) in heat-stressed broilers improved the cumulative feed intake, body weight, and FCR [ 105 ]. Lycopene is found to improve the level of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in broilers [ 104 ]. In laying hens, dietary supplementation of lycopene improved oxidative status, enhanced vitamin levels in the egg, and also improved oxidative stability and yolk color of the egg [ 104 ].…”

Heat stress is one of the major environmental stressors in the poultry industry resulting in substantial economic loss. Heat stress causes several physiological changes, such as oxidative stress, acid-base imbalance, and suppressed immunocompetence, which leads to increased mortality and reduced feed efficiency, body weight, feed intake, and egg production, and also affects meat and egg quality. Several strategies, with a variable degree of effectiveness, have been implemented to attenuate heat stress in poultry. Nutritional strategies, such as restricting the feed, wet or dual feeding, adding fat in diets, supplementing vitamins, minerals, osmolytes, and phytochemicals, have been widely studied and found to reduce the deleterious effects of heat stress. Furthermore, the use of naked neck (Na) and frizzle (F) genes in certain breed lines have also gained massive attention in recent times. However, only a few of these strategies have been widely used in the poultry industry. Therefore, developing heat-tolerant breed lines along with proper management and nutritional approach needs to be considered for solving this problem. Thus, this review highlights the scientific evidence regarding the effects of heat stress on poultry health and performances, and potential mitigation strategies against heat stress in broiler chickens and laying hens.

“…The brief description of biological effects and mechanism of action of carotenoid pigments used for the treatment of several diseases is shown in Figure 2a,b. Among all carotenoids such as α-tocopherol, β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, zeaxanthin and lutein, lycopene is the more potent pigment to protect cellular damage caused by ROS (Arain et al, 2018;Giovannucci, 2002). The most important role of lycopene is to protect DNA damage from oxidative stress by scavenging the oxygen F I G U R E 1 Basic chemical structure of carotenoids.…”

Carotenoids are one of the widespread and ubiquitous lipid-soluble pigments that produce a wide range of colours which are universally found in various plants, microalgae, bacteria and fungi. Recently, interest in using carotenoids as feed ingredients has increased markedly owing to their bioactive and health-promoting properties. In terms of applications, carotenoid-rich products are widely available in the form of food and feed additive, supplements and natural colourants. Carotenoids play a versatile biological role that contributes to therapeutic effects, including anticancer, immunomodulators, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antidiabetic and neuroprotective. Dietary supplementation of carotenoids not only improves the production performance and health of poultry birds, but also enhances the quality of egg and meat. Several studies have suggested that the supplementation of plant derived carotenoids revealed numerous health-promoting activities in poultry birds. Carotenoids reduce the oxidative stress in pre-hatched and post-hatched birds through different mechanisms, including quench free radicals, activating antioxidant enzymes and inhibiting the signalling pathways. Use of carotenoids in poultry feed as a part of nutrient that confers bird health and improve product quality. Carotenoids play a critical role for the pigmentation of egg yolk, skin, legs, beak, comb, feather and fat. Birds consumed carotenoid deficient diet resulting hues of their egg yolk or pale coloured skin. Therefore, uniform pigmentation generally indicates the health status and quality of the poultry products. This review aims to gather recent information regarding bioactive properties of carotenoids and highlight pharmaceutical and health beneficial effects of carotenoids for the poultry industry. Additionally, it explores the importance of carotenoids as alternative feed ingredients for poultry to boost the production performance and replace synthetic medicine and nutrients.
