“…In addition, this enhanced growth performance in broiler chickens was parallel to the PC (AGPs). Numerous previous studies showed similar outcomes where phytobiotics were supplemented to broilers and showed parallel results to AGPs [7,21,30,57,69]. Based on current study findings, it was concluded that phytobiotics (PBLM and POLM) could be used as alternative growth promoters to AGPs in broiler chickens.…”

“…Conversely, FCR was decreased (p < 0.05) in Po8, Pb4, HAL, and PC group in comparison with the NC group. Hassan et al [57] endorsed current study results; he reported that the supplementation of the phytobiotic (Sanguinarine) enhanced the BWG and significantly decreased the FCR parallel to conventional AGPs. Various other studies showed that in-feed supplementation of phytobiotics or PFAs in broiler chickens improved the BWG and decreased FCR, Furthermore, these studies indicated that the phytobiotics might be used as an alternative to AGPs [12,55].…”

The current experiment was designed to estimate the comparative efficacy of selected phytobiotics Persicaria odorata leaf meal (POLM) and Piper betle leaf meal (PBLM) with halquinol, and tetracycline in broiler chickens. The 150-day-old broiler chickens were randomly assigned to five dietary groups. The dietary supplementation groups were the basal diet (BD), which served as the negative control (NC), and BD + 0.2 g/kg tetracycline, which served as the positive control (PC); BD + 0.03 g/kg halquinol (HAL), BD + 8 g/kg POLM (Po8), and BD + 4 g/kg PBLM (Pb4) were the treatment groups. Growth performance, gut morphology, ileal digestibility, and cecal microbiota composition were measured. On day 21, the body weight gain (BWG) was enhanced (p < 0.05) in the broiler chickens fed on phytobiotics (Po8 and Pb4) relative to the NC group, however, on day 42 and in terms of overall growth performance, BWG was enhanced (p < 0.05 in diets (Po8, Pb4, HAL and PC) in comparison with the NC group. Conversely, feed conversion ratio (FCR) was recorded reduced (p < 0.05) in Pb4, Po8, HAL, and PC group in comparison with the NC group. Supplementation of phytobiotics (Po8 and Pb4), HAL and PC, positively improved the gut morphology compared to the NC group. Furthermore, the maximum (p < 0.05) villus height (VH) in duodenum and jejunum was observed in broilers fed on diet Pb4. Supplementation of phytobiotics, HAL and PC, improved (p < 0.05) the digestibility of dry matter (DM) (except for HAL), organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), and ash compared to the NC group. Dietary supplementation of phytobiotics (Po8 and Pb4), HAL and PC, significantly reduced the E. coli, Salmonella, and Staphylococcus aureus (except for HAL) counts compared to the NC group. However, supplementation of Pb4 resulted in significantly decreased total anaerobic bacteria and Clostridium spp. counts compared to the NC group. In addition, supplementation of phytobiotics significantly increased the Lactobacillus count compared to HAL, PC, and NC groups. In conclusion, dietary supplementation of phytobiotics improved the gut morphology, positively modulated and maintained the dynamics of cecal microbiota with enhanced nutrient digestibility, thus, increased the growth performance. Based on current results, phytobiotics could be used as an alternative to AGPs for sustainable broiler chicken production.

“…Growing antibiotic resistance and ban on AGPs in many countries have led to a great concern in finding alternatives to antibiotics in chicken production (Obajuluwa et al, 2021). An alternative to therapeutic and prophylactic antibiotics is the usage of prebiotics, probiotics or the combination of both, known as synbiotics (Hassan et al, 2018). Probiotics are described as live microbes present in gut that improve host health by supporting beneficial bacteria (Mizock, 2015).…”

The study aimed to explore the effect of dietary supplementation of synbiotics on growth performance, carcass characteristics and nutrient digestibility in broiler chicken. For this purpose, three hundred 1-dayold Cobb-500 broiler chicks were purchased from the hatchery and randomly distributed into five dietary treatment groups. Each treatment had six replicates, each containing 10 chicks. The experimental diets were supplemented with 0, 700, 1200, 1700 or 2200 g/ton of feed synbiotics and respectively designated as A, B, C, D and E, with A being the control diet. Feed intake, weight gain and feed conversion ratio data were recorded on a weekly basis. At the research trial's end, two birds from each pen were randomly selected and slaughtered to get data on carcass characteristics. Results showed that group C's feed intake was reduced (p<0.05) when compared to control. Body weight was similar (p>0.05) among all treatments. However, feed conversion ratio was significantly improved (p<0.05) in group C as compared to other dietary treatments. Nutrient digestibility was improved (p<0.05) in group B and C, as compared to control. Carcass characteristics were not significantly affected and remained the same across all treatments. However, liver weight decreased in birds fed diet C. Meat quality and antibody titer were not affected in any of the dietary treatments. It is concluded that synbiotics can be safely used up to 1200 g/ton of feed, improving bird performance without harmful effects on bird health.

“…In addition, Brzóska et al [33] stated that, improvement in weight gain was due to creation of acidic environment in the gut by sodium butyrate which minimized the load of pathogens. Sanguranine phytobiotic induced elevation in growth performance and health status of poultry [34][35][36]. The effects of phytobiotics might be due to the presence of essential oils which improved nutrient digestibility due to enhancement the activities of the digestive enzymes as trypsin and amylase [12].…”

The study was designed to explore the effect of Sanguinarine phytobiotic and sodium butyrate on growth performance, hemato-biochemical and immunological profile of healthy broiler chickens. Ninety, one-day old healthy broiler chicks were divided into three equal groups. Group 1 of healthy chicks was kept as a control group, group 2 in which the broilers received 2 mL/L sodium butyrate and group 3 in which the broilers received 1 g/10 L phytobiotic (Sangrovit) ® . At the end of drug administration, two blood samples were collected from each group for hematobiochemical and immunological parameters. The results revealed that, broiler chicks received sodium butyrate and Sanguinarine phytobiotic showed a significant increase in body weight (2250. 64 and 2206.23 g versus 2005.43g in control), weight gain (966.19 and 945.66g versus 855.20g in control), feed consumption and feed conversion rate (1.72 and 1.75 versus 1.85 in control). Hemato-biochemical and immunological analysis revealed a significant increase in total erythrogram (RBCs 4.98 and 5.22 versus 4.37 in control) and leukogram (14.33 and 14.64 versus 11.26 in control), phagocytosis and phagocytic percent (61.23 and 62.05 versus 58.68 in control), nitric oxide (20.34 and 20.48 versus 19.05 in control), hemagglutination inhibition titer against Newcastle disease virus (3.20 and 3.25 versus 2.03 in control), total protein (6.23 and 6.35 versus 5.67 in control) and albumin (3.25 and 3.55 versus 2.95 in control), with non-significant increase in total globulin, , ,  globulins, albumin/globulin ratio, liver enzymes; aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase; uric acid and creatinine levels. In conclusion, sodium butyrate and Sanguinarine phytobiotic induced improvement in growth performance, hemato-biochemical and immunological profile in healthy broiler chickens. They could be safely used as alternatives to antibiotics growth promoters in the commercial broiler diet to lower the risk of antibiotic residues in meat and to avoid the antibiotic resistance to the consumers.
