“…Additionally differences in extraction and analysis may also be responsible for these differences. The content of silymarin compounds in milk thistle has shown a correlation with genetic and physiological factors, such as achene yield (Andrzejewska and Sadowska, 2008;Ibrahim et al, 2007;Ram et al, 2005), 1000 achene weight, flowering date, as well as height and capitula diameter (Shokrpour et al, 2008).…”

“…a n i m a l S c i e n c e S INTRODUCTION Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is an annual plant belonging to the Asteraceae family, and the plants are widespread in the arid and semi-dry areas of the Mediterranean regions (T a g l i a p i e t r a et al, 2014). It is a medicinal herb (K r e n , W a l t e r o v a , 2005; Ibrahim et al, 2007) used also in animals, to increase productive and reproductive performance and improve health status (S c h u l z et al, 1998), and also in healing some animal diseases. For example, milk thistle enhances the immune function against aflatoxin and improves carcass performance and growth (C h a n d et al, 2011).…”

The effect of different label and processing methods of milk thistle on growth performance in broiler rabbits (HYLA, n = 255) fed with different concentration of milk thistle (Silybum marianum) was studied. Four experiments were conducted. Rabbits were fed with different concentrations of 1% non-fermented milk thistle (experimental group E1) and 0.5% fermented milk thistle (experimental group E2), and the results were compared with a control group C (standard feed ration without any supplementation). Each experiment started at 42 days of rabbits’ age and finished at 85 days of age. Observed parameters were: average daily gain, average daily feed consumption, total feed consumption, slaughter live weight, and carcass weight. The best results were showed in experimental group E2 (supplement of 0.5% fermented milk thistle). Significant differences (P<0.05) were recorded in average daily feed consumption, total feed consumption, slaughter live weight, and carcass weight. The results show that 0.5% fermented milk thistle extract supplemented in the feed ration for broiler rabbits has a positive effect on fattening performance.

“…On the other hand, lethal genes (deleterious alleles), whose expression is masked by heterozygous loci have a chance to be revealed at selfpollination (Leroy, 2014;Spanani et al, 2018). Ibrahim et al (2007) documented that self-pollination improved the silymarin content and seed yield in purple Egyptian lines of milk thistle, while it reduced the same traits in white lines. Higher trait performance under open pollination suggests that hybrid performance can be predicted for economic traits.…”

Pollination system and deficit irrigation affect flavonolignan components of sylimarin, oil, and productivity of milk thistle

The biosynthesis and accumulation of secondary metabolites in plant tissues interact strongly with environmental conditions and breeding systems. Limited knowledge is available on the effects of breeding system (self vs. open pollination) and deficit irrigation on the composition of flavonolignans, seed yield, and oil content of different genotypes of milk thistle (Silybum marianum L.). Four ecotypes of Iranian milk thistle collected from diverse geographical regions were each self-and open-pollinated; they were then assessed in the field under both normal and deficit irrigation for seed yield, oil percentage, silymarin, and its components during 2014 and 2015. Deficit irrigation decreased seed yield and silybin A but increased total silymarin content, silybin B, and silydianin. In both moisture environments, seed yield was positively associated with oil percentage and silybin A. Open pollination improved seed yield, oil percentage, total silymarin, and its components in milk thistle ecotypes as compared with self-pollination. Considerable genetic variability was observed among the evaluated ecotypes in their response to moisture environments and pollination status. Under open pollination, the northern Iranian ecotypes Mashhad and Sari were identified as promising varieties for further studies.
