“…Phytogenic can positively affect the health and productivity of poultry (13). Phytogenic can be herbs, whole plants, its parts, extracted, or essential oils from plants (14). Supplementation of essential oils from oregano, savory, and rosemary in diets can reduce ileal Lactobacillus spp., serum cholesterol concentration and increase meat oxidation stability (15).…”

Chaya (Cnidoscolus aconitifolius) from family Euphorbiaceae is a plant has leaves similar to papaya leaves but with dark green leaf color. This plant contains phytochemical compounds such as alkaloid, flavonoid, triterpenoids, glycoside, and tannin that can function as antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory. Chaya leaf infusion are processed into infusion before given to the quails through drinking water, this method is used to obtain the phytochemical compounds contained in chaya leaves. This study aimed to evaluate chaya leaf infusion (Cnidoscolus aconitifolius) as a phytogenic source on the productivity and egg quality of japanese laying quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) aged 17-20 weeks. Chaya leaf infusion is given through drinking water and is expected to increase the productivity and quality of quail egg. The variables observed consisted of productivity (water intake, feed intake, egg weigh, QDP, egg mass, FCR, mortality) and egg quality (yolk, albumen, shell weight and percentage, egg index, yolk index, albumen index, shell thickness, yolk color, and haugh unit). This study was analyzed using the T test with 2 treatments and 4 replications: T0 = drinking water without any additives and T1 = drinking water with a concentration 10% of chaya leaf infusion. The results showed that chaya leaf infusion had a significant effect (P≤0.05) on quail day production, egg mass, albumen index, and yolk color. Besides that, supplementation chaya leaf infusion significantly reduces (P<0.05) feed convertion ratio. So that the use of 10% chaya leaf infusion in drinking water by giving it 2 times a week can increase the productivity and egg quality of laying quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) 17-20 weeks old.

“…Christaki et al [23] observed no major effect on egg traits of the quails fed with oregano, anise and olive leaves. Additionally, Freitas et al [27] observed no positive effect of Syzygium cumini which is a herb belongs the same family with myrtle (Myrtaceae) on egg weight and egg mass of laying hens. Yet in the present study, we found that the supplementation of laying hens with 2.5% of MPE improved egg weight.…”

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of myrtle plant extract (MPE) on performance, some blood parameters, egg quality and immune response of older laying hens. A total of 192 laying hens (67 weeks old; initial body weight 1.63±0.17 kg) were used in this study. The MPE was added to the water of the experimental groups (0%, 2.5%, 5.0%, or 10%) for 8 weeks. Liquid chromatography analyses showed that myricetin was the predominant active ingredient (15.34 mg/L) in MPE. In treatment groups, feed consumption, egg mass (P<0.05), egg production (P<0.01) increased (10% MPE) and water consumption ascended (5% MPE) compared to the control birds. Feed conversion ratio did not change. In 2.5% MPE group, greater egg weight (P<0.001) and darker egg yolk (P<0.01) were observed than the control birds. Regarding immunity, the 5% Myrtus group produced higher neutrophil and large amounts of IgG (P<0.05) indicating that significant results were also observed in the immunological response of laying hens vaccinated against the Newcastle virus. Serum alanine aminotransferase level increased (P<0.05) in treatment groups whereas serum glucose levels decreased significantly (P<0.01). Other than that, none of the blood parameters changed. It is concluded that Myrtus communis L. plant extract showed positive effects on the egg yolk, some performance parameters and immune system of older laying hens without any adverse effects on egg traits.
