“…Experiment 3. Contrary to the evidence of Adams and Rogler (1965), dietary aspirin improved the growth rates of the birds (Table 5). Aspirin at levels of 100, 150, and 200 mg/kg as well as ascorbic acid at the levels .15 and .2% significantly (P<.05) improved growth rate as compared with the other treatments.…”

“…Also, Ahmad et al (1967) reported a reduction in body temperature arising from the dietary supplementation with ascorbic acid which alleviated the adverse effects of heat stress on egg quality characteristics and on metabolic activity. On the contrary, the antipyretic activity of aspirin was demonstrated on the Leghorn and broiler type chicks but without attendant improvements in the performance of the birds (Adams and Rogler, 1965). According to Wilson and Hillerman (1952), dunking birds in water temporarily reduced their body temperature.…”

Under practical conditions of thermal stress (temperature, 22.8 to 36.9 and relative humidity (RH), 31 to 95%) over a period of four months, the egg production of 30-and 62-weekold Rhode Island Red X Barred Plymouth Rock layers was improved significantly (P<.05) when the birds were under night feeding combined with stimulighting, ventilated at 9 cfm/bird and provided cold water (0 C) for drinking. The layers laid at the highest rate with .05% dietary aspirin although the performance on .10, .15, and .20% dietary aspirin and on 100 mg/kg ascorbic acid compared satisfactorily. The older layers benefited about equally on .05. .10. and .1 5% dietary aspirin and on 100. 150. and 200 mg/kp ascorfrir acid in mmpiriain with the control.Except that aspirin had more beneficial effect on shell thickness, the increased feed intake associated with the treatments appeared to have been used for egg formation rather than for improving egg quality.The growth rate of the chicks of this hybrid was significantly higher with dietary supplementation with aspirin at .15 and .20% and ascorbic acid at 150 and 200 mg/kg. The efficiency of feed utilization largely followed the trend in growth rate.1979 Poultry Science 58:767-773

“…The present finding is in accordance with earlier work of Elkholy, (2008). Adams and Rogler, (1968) found that feeding 0.5% aspirin to broilers decreased body temperature by as much as 0.3 0 C when birds were exposed to 29 0 C. Hutchins et al, (1962) found that feeding 0.25 and 0.5% aspirin reduces the body temperature of chicks exposed to 40.6 0 C by approximately 0.3 0 C and ultimately result in better growth performance. Roussan et al, (2008) observed that aspirin and KCl supplemented group had better FCR (P<0.01) and lesser mortality rate (%) than birds in the non supplemented group.…”

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of aspirin as anti-heat stressor. Broiler chicks were reared on a standard diet up to 14 days of age. Thereafter, the chicks were randomly distributed into three dietary treatment groups viz., T1 (Control group: Standard diet), T2 (Standard diet with aspirin@250 mg/kg) and T3 (Standard diet with aspirin@500 mg/kg). Each treatment was having five replicates of eight birds per replicate. Experiment was carried out during hot-dry (April-May, 30.0±0.7 0 to 37.0±1.4 0 C, Rh, %: 58.05±1.32 to 70.11±0.82) summer. Feed intake and live weight gain was comparable among the treatments but FCR, protein and energy efficiency improved significantly (P<0.001) on aspirin supplementation. The relative yield of thymus and bursa at 4 th and 6 th week of age improved significantly (P<0.05). The percentage of protein, aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) increased significantly (P<0.001) due to aspirin supplementation at 4 th as well as 6 th week of age. While H:L ratio, serum corticosteron and serum cholesterol (only at 42 nd day of age) decreased significantly (P<0.001) in aspirin supplemented groups at 28 th as well as 42 nd day of age. Supplementation of aspirin at 500 mg/kg reduced relative expression of HSP70 in jejunum tissues during 28 th or 42 nd day of age. It can be concluded that aspirin supplementation 500 mg/kg in diet of heat stressed broilers improved performance as well as welfare.

“…Cyclooxigenase inhibitors have also been examined to test their ability to alleviate the effects of high environmental temperature (Adams and Rogler 1968;Edens and Campbell 1985). However, there is no clear evidence that heat stress hyperthermia is related to prostaglandin synthesis as occurs during the febrile response.…”

An investigation was carried out to verify whether the heat stress hyperthermia response of broilers is prostaglandin-dependent. Male broiler chickens of the Hubbard-Petterson strain, aged 35-49 days, were used. Chickens were injected with indomethacin (1 mg/kg intraperitoneally) 15 min before or 2 h after heat exposure (at 35 degrees C for 4 h), and rectal temperature was measured before injection and up to 4 h thereafter. Birds were separated into two groups with and without access to water during heat stress. The increase in rectal temperature was lower (P < 0.05) in birds with access to drinking water during heat exposure. All birds injected with indomethacin exhibited an increase in rectal temperature, irrespective of whether indomethacin was administered before or in the course of the rise in temperature. The results revealed that the increase in rectal temperature during heat exposure is not prostaglandin-dependent, and that the use of cyclooxigenase inhibitors is not recommended to attenuate heat stress hyperthermia in broiler chickens.
