“…Additional introduction into the diet of broiler chickens Artemisia annua in the amount of 1.0%, according to Saracila et al (2018), contributed to a decrease in feed conversion by 1.69%, an increase in average daily gain by 10.8-11.0% and an increase in bodyr weight by 5.0%, even under conditions of thermal stress, which is also confirmed by our research.…”

Recently, the requirements for the quality and safety of poultry products have significantly increased, what has notably limited the use of antibiotics in feeding poultry. This is one of the reasons for the growing interest in the use of phytogenic feed additives. We have conducted an experiment to determine the influence of Artemisia capillaris on young quail meat productivity. To carry out the experiment, we have formed five groups, each counting 100 quail heads. During the experiment, which lasted for 35 days, dried powdered wormwood (Artemisia capillaris) in the amount of 0.5%, 1.0 and 1.5% by weight of compound feed was introduced into the feed of birds of the 2 nd , 3 rd and 4 th experimental groups. The experiment showed a positive effect of the studied factor on the body weight of quail; the highest body weight was in quail of the 3 rd group -251.03 g, and the lowest it was in the control group -238.24 g. Also during the experiment, the lowest feed costs per 1 kg of body weight gain were in quail of the 3 rd experimental group, which by this indicator exceeded the control group by 4.91%. Feeding wormwood as a part of the compound feed in the amount of 0.5 and 1.0% of the 2 nd and 3 rd experimental groups increased the weight of gutted carcass by 0.41-1.67%, while further increase of wormwood content to 1.5% in the feed of the 4 th experimental group led to a decrease in the weight of gutted carcass by 0.26% compared to the control group.

“…Khalaji et al (2011) and Ghazanfari et al (2015) reported that Artemisia sieberi leaves (1%), and oil (300 mgkg -1 ) given to Ross 308 broilers (1-42 days) reduced (p<0.05) the caecal E. coli populations. On the contrary, Saracila et al (2018) showed that broilers (14-35 days) treated with Artemisia oil (0.05 g kg -1 ) had a significantly higher number of Enterobacteriaceae and E. coli in the caecal content than those treated with mix of Artemisia oil and powder. In addition, there are studies that highlight the action of essential oils against Gram-positive bacteria: Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, Clostridium colinum, Clostridium septicum, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, or Streptococcus gallolyticus (Jerzsele et al, 2012;Muthayian et al, 2012;Solorzano-Santos & Miranda-Novales, 2012;Nimbarte & Kulkarni, 2013;Zengin & Baysal, 2014).…”

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of Artemisia (Artemisia annua) supplementation as essential oil and powder, in broiler diet on performance and intestinal microflora. One hundred and eighty Cobb 500 broiler chicks assigned to three experimental groups (six replicates with 10 broilers per replicate) were housed in an environment-controlled house. Compared to the control diet, the experimental diets included 0.05 g kg-1 Artemisia essential oil (E1), 0.05 g kg-1 essential oil plus 0.1 g kg-1 powder of Artemisia (E2), respectively. Growth performance was monitored throughout days 14-42. Artemisia supplementation (E1, E2) did not influence growth performance of the chicks. Compared to the C and E1, the chicks from E2 group had a lower count of Enterobacteriaceae in the intestinal and caecal content, both at 35 and at 42 days. The Artemisia supplements did not influence the staphylococci populations from the intestinal content of the chicks (42 days), but in the caecal content samples, this count was lower in E2 (8.836 log10 cfu g-1) than in C (8.876 log10 cfu g-1) and E1 (8.870 log10 cfu g-1). The count of lactobacilli increased in the intestinal and caecal contents of chickens fed the diet supplemented with Artemisia at the 35 th and 42 nd day. Diet supplementation with A. annua essential oil and powder could be an effective solution in maintaining the proper microflora balance in the chicks' intestine.

“…Robust and balanced compositions of intestinal microflora were required to support health and growth. Microorganisms could benefit the host by affecting nutrient digestion and disease resistance, but an overgrowth of gut microbial could affect ecosystem balance and destroy gut integrity to initiate intestinal inflammation ( Saracila et al, 2018 ). HILM, as a kind of feed resource based on insects, which could maintain intestinal microorganism health, has been reported in animal feed production ( Leni et al, 2020 ).…”

The addition of Hermetia illucens larvae meal (HILM) to the feed could contribute to particular antimicrobial and intestinal health in animal husbandry. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of HILM on intestinal morphology and microbial diversity in different intestinal segments of Xuefeng black-bone chickens. All of 432 birds (45 weeks old) were randomly assigned to four equal groups with six replicates and 18 hens in each replicate: (A) basal diet, (B) basal diet with 1% HILM, (C) basal diet with 3% HILM, and (D) basal diet with 5% HILM. The results showed that, compared with the basal diet group, the HILM supplement significantly increased the abundance-based coverage estimator (ACE) and Chao index in cecum (p < 0.05). Diet with 1% HILM significantly increased the villus height (VH) of the duodenum (p < 0.05) and cecum microbial diversity as represented by the Simpson index (p < 0.05). In particular, 1% HILM displayed a markedly increase in the genus unclassified Bacteroidales (cecum, p < 0.05). A basal diet with 3% HILM markedly increased the beneficial genus Romboutsia (jejunum, p < 0.05). Also, principal component analysis (PCA) cluster analysis showed that 3% of HILM was more individual than other groups (p < 0.05). However, 5% HILM decreased the VH and the ratio of villus height to crypt depth (VH/CD) of the jejunum and increased beneficial bacteria such as Staphylococcus (p < 0.05), which was regarded as pathogenetic genera. In conclusion, we found that HILM improved intestinal morphology and increased microbiological diversity and species abundance. Together, dietary supplementation of 1 or 3% HILM might benefit the intestinal morphology and intestinal microbiota of Xuefeng black-bone chicken. However, the addition of 5% HILM could decrease VH and the ratio of VH/CD of the jejunum and increased pathogenetic genera. HILM was an excellent protein substitute for Xuefeng black-bone chickens, which could meet the nutritional requirements under the condition of less feed. These results provide information for HILM meal as an alternative source of soybean meal in Xuefeng black-bone chickens’ feed.
