“…Because of the variety of their constituents and other impacting variables like location, harvest, species, stage, and storage conditions, Prosopis africana essential oils exhibit some diversity in their chemical composition. Numerous constituents of essential oils have antibacterial properties [9][10][11]. For instance, Prosogerin A and B in Prosopis essential oil work alongside the cell membrane to create their antibacterial effects.…”

Exploring the use of phytogenic components in plants is one of the ways to ensure safety in food and sustainable livestock production. This experiment was designed to investigate the sensory evaluation and fatty acid composition of broiler chickens fed diets containing Prosopis africana essential oil. A total of 540 – one- day- old broiler chicks (Arbo Acres) were randomly distributed into 6 treatments, each containing six replicates of 15 birds. Experimental diets were adequate in all nutrients (NRC, 1994). Birds in treatment one was fed basal diet without Prosopis africana oil, basal diet with antibiotic growth promoter (oxytetracycline at 2.5 g/kilogram) was fed to treatment two while treatment three, four, five and six were fed basal diet supplemented with 200 mg, 400 mg, 600 mg and 800 mg per kilogram respectively. Completely randomized design was used and the experiment lasted for 56 days. Feed and fresh water were offered ad libitum and other management practices were rigorously followed. Result revealed that the composition of total monosaturated fatty acid and total polyunsaturated fatty acid were significantly (P˂0.05) influenced by the treatments. Total saturated fatty acid (TSFA) levels decrease as the level of Prosopis africana oil increases across the treatments (P˂0.05). TSFA values were highest in treatment 1, intermediate in treatment 2 and lowest in treatment three through six. Omega 3: omega 6 fatty acid and artheriogenicity index were significantly (P˂0.05) different among the treatments. Prosopis africana oil also influenced color, flavor, tenderness, juiciness, texture, and general acceptability of broilers meat. It was concluded that the dietary supplementation of Prosopis africana oil has a number of phyto-constituents that can modify the fatty acid of meat, enhancing its quality, shelf life and sensory attributes. Without having a negative impact on the health of birds. It can be added to the diet of broiler chickens up to 800 mg per kilogram.

This study was carried out to investigate the hepatic histopathology of broiler chickens fed diets supplemented with Prosopis africana (African mesquite) essential oil (PRSO). 300, 1-day old broiler chicks were randomly distributed into six treatments with 5 replicates consisting of 10 birds each. Birds in diet 1 (D1) was fed basal diet supplemented with 0 % PRSO, D2: basal diet with 1.0 g/kg-1 oxytetracycline, D3, D4, D5 and D6 were fed basal diet supplemented with PRSO at 200 mg, 400 mg, 600 mg and 800 mg/kg-1 respectively. The experiment lasted for 56 days and a completely randomized design was adopted. Phyto-constituents of PRSO revealed the presence of tannins (201.21 mg/g-1), flavonoids (677.83 mg/g-1), alkaloids (405.90 mg/g-1), saponins (75.62 mg/g-1), phenols (508.28 mg/g-1), phytates (20.10 mg/g-1) and oxalates (5.26 mg/g-1). Hepatic histopathology showed that tissues from D1, D3, D4, D5 and D6 showed no signs of any damage; the central vein, blood portal vessels showed no congestion. Mild hepatocellular damage was recorded among liver of birds in D2. It can be concluded that Prosopis africana essential oil are among the key alternative solutions to antibiotics because they contain bioactive compounds that are safe, effective and performs multiple biological functions in the body of animals.

The objective of this present study was to investigate the haemato-biochemical indices and intestinal microbial population of broiler chickens fed diets supplemented with Prosopis africana (African mesquite) essential oil (PAEO). A total of 540 one-day old broiler chicks of Ross 302 strain were allotted to six treatments with 6 replicates consisting of 15 birds each in a completely randomized design. Feed and water were given ad libitum, and all necessary management practices were strictly observed throughout the experiment, which lasted for 8 weeks. The birds in treatment 1 (T1) was fed a basal diet with no PAEO, T2 was fed basal diet plus 1.2 g kg-1 Oxytetracycline, T3, T4, T5 and T6 were fed basal diet plus PAEO at 200 mg, 400 mg, 600 mg and 800 mg kg-1 respectively. All haematological parameters and intestinal microbial population were influenced by the dietary treatments (p ˂ 0.05). Total protein, triglycerides, cholesterol and urea were significantly different (p < 0.05) across the dietary treatments and are within the physiological ranges reported for healthy chicken. However, serum tryglycerides, low density lipoprotein, high density lipoprotein, magnesium and chloride ion values were not affected by PAEO (p ˃ 0.05). It was concluded PAEO possess several properties – antioxidant, antimicrobial, hepatoprotective, immune-stimulatory, anti-inflammatory and physiological amongst others all of which are vital for the health enhancing effects in birds. Prosopis africana essential oil can be supplemented up to 800 mg kg-1 in the diets of broiler chickens without causing any deleterious effect on their blood profile.
