Mimosa pudica and Carica papaya extracts on Ascaridia galli - Experimentally infected Kabir chicks in Cameroon: Efficacy, lipid and hematological profile

Papaya (Carica papaya L.) seed as a potent functional feedstuff for poultry – A review

“…Ameen et al [9] Administration of papaya seed extract both in powdery (300 mg/day/bird) and aqueous (1:10 ml water required/day) reduced the fecal egg counts of Heterakis gallinarum, Ascaridia galli, and Trichostrongylus tenuis in commercial layers Nideou et al [25] Daily feeding of papaya seed (1-2% of diets) reduced the population of helminths in the gastrointestinal tract of pullets Nghonjuyi et al [26] Papaya seed extract (at the doses of 480,960, and 3200 mg/kg body weight) reduced fecal egg output of A. galli in Kabir chicks in Cameron Dakpogan et al [27] Administration of papaya seed extract (1 mg per chicken for 5 days) was able to control the populations of A. galli and Eimeria sp. in free-range local breed chickens Dougnon et al [32] Administration of papaya seed solution (2-4 g/L) reduced A. galli worms in layer Harco Ozaraga et al [33] Papaya seed powder (6 g/kg body weight of chickens) reduced the egg per gram counts of roundworms of Darag native chickens Feroza et al [34] Papaya seed extract (20 ml/kg feed) was capable of controlling A. galli infection in broiler chickens extracted with n-hexane inhibited the generation of free radicals and apoptosis in HL-60 cells.…”

“…In accordance with the growth-promoting effect, the administration of 0.5% papaya seed meal in diets increased egg weight, egg production, and feed conversion ratio of broiler breeder and improved day-old weight of chicks [24]. Moreover, Nghonjuyi et al [26] reported that the administration of papaya seed extract at the levels of 480, 960, and 3200 mg/kg body weight increased body weight of Kabir chicks.…”

“…Moreover, Nghonjuyi et al . [ 26 ] reported that the administration of papaya seed extract at the levels of 480, 960, and 3200 mg/kg body weight increased body weight of Kabir chicks.…”

“…The latter conditions may, therefore, improve the growth performance of poultry. A recent study by Nghonjuyi et al [26] further suggested that the presence of papain, chymopapain, caricain, and glycyl endopeptidase may improve the digestive process and thus enhance the growth rate of chickens. In the molecular level, papaya seed extract has also been reported to increase cell proliferation and reduce the apoptotic cells [28].…”

“…Although a number of in vitro studies assessing the antimicrobial activities of papaya seed have been published, the in vivo study confirming such antimicrobial properties in poultry is, however, still lacking. The majority of in vivo studies more focus on the antiparasitic activities of papaya seed (in the forms of powder or extract), as presented in Table-3 [9,[25][26][27][32][33][34]. It was apparent that papaya seed could serve as antiparasitic agents and thus may replace the use of synthetic antiparasitic drugs in poultry production.…”
