“…However, eliminating antibiotics from the animal diet reflected poorly on growth enhancement, FCR, and feed efficiency ( Puvača et al, 2019a ; Reda et al, 2020 ; Sheiha et al, 2020 ; Reda et al, 2021a ). Therefore, the use of natural compounds, such as probiotics ( Abd El‐Hack et al, 2020a ; Alagawany et al, 2021a ; El-Saadony et al, 2021a ), prebiotics ( Yaqoob et al, 2021 ; Abd El-Hack et al, 2022 ), essential oils ( Alagawany et al, 2021b ; El-Tarabily et al, 2021 ), herbal extracts ( Abou-Kassem et al, 2021 ; Saad et al, 2021a ), amino acids ( Abou-Kassem et al, 2021 ), green synthesized nanoparticles ( Abd El-Ghany et al, 2021 ; El-Saadony et al, 2021b , c , d ), bioactive peptides ( El-Saadony et al, 2021e , f ), safe, natural pigments ( Abdelnour et al, 2020a , b ; Ashour et al, 2021 ), bioactive medicinal plants ( El-Saadony et al., 2022 ), plant products ( El-Shall et al, 2022 ), and phytogenic compounds ( Abd El-Hack et al, 2020b ; Abd El‐Hack et al, 2021b ; Abdel-Moneim et al., 2022 ), for growth promotion and pathogen resistance became a trend and an alternative to antibiotics ( Simon et al, 2005 ; Stanaćev et al, 2011 ; Puvača et al, 2013 ; Alagawany et al, 2021c ).…”

“…A broad use of probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics has taken place over the last decade as natural bioactive compounds. Several kinds of water-soluble bioactive compounds have been utilized in animal diets with many benefits [ 1 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ]. In ovo technology, through which a tiny quantity of material is injected into the bird’s egg/embryo during incubation, offers a novel alternative for delivering bioactive compounds to the chick embryo before hatching.…”

The chicken gut is the habitat to trillions of microorganisms that affect physiological functions and immune status through metabolic activities and host interaction. Gut microbiota research previously focused on inflammation; however, it is now clear that these microbial communities play an essential role in maintaining normal homeostatic conditions by regulating the immune system. In addition, the microbiota helps reduce and prevent pathogen colonization of the gut via the mechanism of competitive exclusion and the synthesis of bactericidal molecules. Under commercial conditions, newly hatched chicks have access to feed after 36–72 h of hatching due to the hatch window and routine hatchery practices. This delay adversely affects the potential inoculation of the healthy microbiota and impairs the development and maturation of muscle, the immune system, and the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Modulating the gut microbiota has been proposed as a potential strategy for improving host health and productivity and avoiding undesirable effects on gut health and the immune system. Using early-life programming via in ovo stimulation with probiotics and prebiotics, it may be possible to avoid selected metabolic disorders, poor immunity, and pathogen resistance, which the broiler industry now faces due to commercial hatching and selection pressures imposed by an increasingly demanding market.

“…The absence of Meissner's plexuses which sense the lumen environment might be related to smooth muscle hypertrophy ( Pavone et al., 2019 ). Through this study, we recommend paying attention to pigeon breeding and public awareness to reduce the risk of contracting diseases and transmitting these diseases to other avian and animal species as well as humans, through the application of biosecurity & quarantine measures, strengthening the general health of pigeons by using of balanced feed and supplying the bird with safe environmentally friend preparations as herbal extracts ( Abou-Kassem et al., 2021a ; Abd El-Hack et al., 2021a ), essential oils ( Alagawany et al., 2021a ; Dosoky et al., 2021 ; El-Tarabily et al., 2021 ; Mohamed et al., 2021 ), essential amino acids ( Abou-Kassem et al., 2021b ), bioactive peptides ( El-Saadony et al., 2021a , b ), probiotics ( Alagawany et al., 2021b , El-Saadony et al., 2021c ), prebiotics ( Abd El-Hack et al., 2020 , 2021b ; Yaqoob et al., 2021 ), plant-derived natural bioactive compounds ( El-Saadony et al., 2021d ; Raza et al., 2021 ; Seidavi et al., 2021a , b ), biological synthesized nanoparticles ( Abd El‐Hack et al., 2021c , d ; El-Saadony et al., 2021e ), and phytogenic compounds ( Abo Ghanima et al., 2021 , Ashour et al., 2021a ; Abdel-Moneim et al. ; Ashour et al., 2020b , Reda et al., 2021 ).…”

Parasitism is a divesting problem that is frequently overlooked and may result in severe prominent clinical manifestation. This study aimed to investigate the seasonal and sexual prevalence of the gastrointestinal nematode Ascaridia columbae ( A. columbae ) infection among domestic pigeons in Giza governorate, Egypt, during the period from 2020 to 2021. One hundred and sixty suspected pigeons were clinically investigated. Blood & tissue samples were collected from infected birds to estimate serum zinc concentration, malondialdehyde ( MDA ), and nitric oxide levels. As well as tumor necrosis factor-alpha ( TNF-α ), interleukin 1β ( IL1β ) activity, and histopathological examination were estimated; also, worms were collected for morphological identification using electron microscope ( SEM ) and molecularly identified using polymerase chain reaction ( PCR ), further sequenced, and submitted in GenBank with accession number MZ343369. The average ascarid (length × breadth) were 72.4 ± 3.3 µm (70.5 – 79.9 µm) × 39.9 ± 2.5 µm (37.6 – 42.3 µm). The distinguishing morphological characteristics that have been noticed in ascarid worms were creamy white, cylindrical worm with triradiate lips with wide cephalic alae extending on both the lateral sides and filariform esophagus. In males, spicules were almost equal with the presence of precloacal chitinous-rimmed sucker. The prevalence of A. columbae infection was (63.1%) with a higher incidence in females (79.2%) than males (46.1%). The highest seasonal prevalence was observed in winter (92.5%), followed by summer and spring (87.5% and 55%), respectively while, the lowest prevalence was observed in autumn (17.5%). The intensity of worms in the infected intestine varied from 5 to 120 adult worms. The histopathological examination revealed the presence of chronic diffuse moderate catarrhal enteritis with roundworms in the lumen. Infected birds showed a significant increase in nitric oxide and MDA levels while serum zinc levels were lowered in infected pigeons. Infected pigeons revealed a marked increase in IL1-β and TNFα than apparently healthy ones.
