“…The use of antibiotics in animal nutrition has been associated with severe health-related drawbacks (e.g., antibiotic resistance), which has led to bans on their use in several countries. Since then, various novel compounds have been investigated as possible alternatives to antibiotics (Sato, 2016). Immunomodulators are one type of available nutritional molecules that enhance humoral immunity, minimize immunological stress, and protect against disease without decreasing production performance in farm animals (Klasing, 1998).…”

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) as a dietary supplement on milk yield and composition as well as iron status and immune response in lactating dairy cows. In this study 13 lactating Holstein cows were randomly assigned to either a control group or a treatment group supplemented with 10 mg of 5-ALA per kilogram of dry matter. During feeding, 5-ALA was mixed with a small amount of the total mixed ration and top-dressed. The experiments followed a crossover design with 2 periods. Each period consisted of an adaptation period of 12 d and a test period of 2 d. Dairy cows fed the diet supplemented with 5-ALA exhibited increased counts of white blood cells and granulocytes compared with the control group. The rate of phagocytosis and mitogen-induced proliferation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells in cows fed 5-ALA were higher than in cows fed a basal diet. However, 5-ALA did not affect iron status or plasma biochemical composition. Supplementation with 5-ALA improved milk protein and milk casein contents; however, it had no effect on milk production, milk fat, lactose, total solids, or solids-not-fat, compared with the control. We conclude that dietary supplementation of 5-ALA to lactating dairy cows may have a positive effect on milk protein synthesis and the immune response.

“…Nutrition is crucial not only for sustaining the prooxidant-antioxidant balance but also for regulating fat metabolic function [ 132 , 133 ]. Reactive oxygen or nitrogen species can modulate primary immune defense, albeit prolonged exposure leads to a disruption of the oxidant/antioxidant network; this imbalance ultimately results in an acceleration of pathological inflammation [ 134 , 135 ].…”

The implementation of government regulations on antibiotic use, along with the public’s concern for drug resistance, has strengthened interest in developing alternatives not only aimed at preserving animal production but also at reducing the effects of pathogenic infections. Probiotics, in particular, are considered microorganisms that induce health benefits in the host after consumption of adequate amounts; they have been established as a potential strategy for improving growth, especially by stimulating intestinal homeostasis. Probiotics are commonly associated with lactic acid bacteria, and Limosilactobacillus fermentum is a well-studied species recognized for its favorable characteristics, including adhesion to epithelial cells, production of antimicrobial compounds, and activation of receptors that prompt the transcription of immune-associated genes. Recently, this species has been used in animal production. Different studies have shown that the application of L. fermentum strains not only improves the intestinal ecosystem but also reduces the effects caused by potentially pathogenic microorganisms. These studies have also revealed key insights into the mechanisms behind the actions exerted by this probiotic. In this manuscript, we aim to provide a concise overview of the effects of L. fermentum administration on broiler chicken health and performance.

“…The quantities of trehalose found in M. flabellifolius , in many studies, hydrated 26.0 ± 7.7 mgg −1 vs. desiccated 34.7 ± 4.3 mmg −1 dry weight [ 25 ], seem sufficient to illicit some reaction in vivo. In ruminant animals, the authors of [ 26 , 27 ] reported an improvement in oxidative status in blood, milk, and rumen fluid in cows supplemented with trehalose, whilst [ 28 ] reported on reduced medication frequency of pre-weaned calves and growth inhibition of pathogenic bacteria when trehalose was supplemented on milk replacers in pre-weaned calves. Chen et al [ 29 ] highlighted the potential of trehalose as a prebiotic, which encourages growth in the host’s beneficial intrinsic probiotic bacteria.…”

Myrothamnus flabellifolius (Welw.) is used in African traditional medicine for the treatment of depression and mental disorder, asthma, infectious diseases, respiratory, inflammation, epilepsy, heart, wound, backaches, diabetes, kidney ailments, hypertension, hemorrhoids, gingivitis, shingles, stroke, and skins conditions. The effectiveness of M. flabellifolius is due to the presence of several secondary metabolites that have demonstrated efficacy in other cell and animal models. These metabolites are key in cell regulation and function and have potential use in animal production due to antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, for an improvement in growth performance, feed quality and palatability, gut microbial environment, function, and animal health. The purpose of this review is to provide a detailed account on the potential use of M. flabellifolius in animal nutrition. Limitations towards the use of this plant in animal nutrition, including toxicity, economic, and financial issues are discussed. Finally, novel strategies and technologies, e.g., microencapsulation, microbial fermentation, and essential oil extraction, used to unlock and improve nutrient bioaccessibility and bioavailability are clearly discussed towards the potential use of M. flabellifolius as a phytogenic additive in animal diets.
