“…Coccidiosis is considered as one of the most severe health and welfare problems and is mainly controlled with the use of anticoccidial substances and on a lesser scale with vaccinations [89,107]. Certain dietary factors may diminish the negative effects of avian coccidiosis, including the use of herbs and spices [108]. Allen et al [84] reported that dried leaves of Artemisia annua could protect chickens against caecal lesions caused by Eimeria tenella infection.…”

Aromatic plants, also known as herbs and spices, have been used since antiquity as folk medicine and as preservatives in foods. The best known aromatic plants, such as oregano, rosemary, sage, anise, basil, etc., originate from the Mediterranean area. They contain many biologically active compounds, mainly polyphenolics, which have been found to possess antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiparasitic, antiprotozoal, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. Currently, the demand for these plants and their derivatives has increased because they are natural, eco-friendly and generally recognized as safe products. Therefore, aromatic plants and their extracts have the potential to become new generation substances for human and animal nutrition and health. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the literature surrounding the in vivo and in vitro use of aromatic plants.

“…Therefore, there is need for some new, effective and cheaper resources as alternatives for the control and eradication of coccidiosis. Among alternatives, botanicals rich in antioxidant compounds such as phenols, flavonoids, tannins and saponins has gained special importance and are being used as an alternative strategy to treat coccidiosis (Nweze and Obiwulu, 2009;Abbas et al, 2012). During last decade, some botanicals have been reported promising for their use as anticoccidials Zaman et al, 2012;Idris et al, 2017) and immunomodulators .…”

This study was conducted to evaluate the immunomodulatory activity of aqueous methanolic extract (AME) of Glycyrrhiza glabra (roots) against mixed Eimeria species infection in broiler chickens. For in vivo trial, 175 day old broiler chicks were divided into five equal groups (A, B, C, D and E). At one week of age, groups A, B and C were given orally three graded doses of G. glabra AME (100, 200 and 300 mg/kg of body weight respectively) for three consecutive days. Group D served as positive (Vitamin E treated) and Group E as negative control (PBS treated). At 14 th day of age, all groups were infected orally with 60,000 sporulated oocysts of mixed Eimeria species. Cell mediated immune response was evaluated by four tests (Phytohemagglutinin-P, Concanavalin-A, Carbon clearance assay and Dinitrochlorobenzene). Humoral immune response was evaluated by microplate hemagglutination test using sheep red blood cells. Results revealed a dose dependent immune response in G. glabra AME treated groups. Cell mediated and humoral immune response of group treated with G. glabra AME @ 300 mg/kg of body weight was almost similar (P˃0.05) to the positive control group (Vitamin E treated). G. glabra AME treated groups showed significantly higher (P<0.05) cell mediated and humoral response as compared to negative control (PBS treated).

“…There are a number of research articles proving anticoccidial activity of natural products including plants [5] , pre-and probiotics [4,5] and fungi [6,7] . Natural products are expected to be alternative in the coccidiosis control promisingly by including new therapeutic molecules to which Eimeria strains have not yet developed resistance [8][9][10] .…”

This experiment was conducted to investigate if usnic acid, a lichen metabolite, exerts therapeutic action against coccidiosis. A total of 160 one-day-old male Ross 308 broiler chicks were divided into 5 experimental groups (A-E), each replicated in 4 pens of 8 chicks. At 16 days of age Groups B-E were infected orally with a mixture of purified oocysts including 30 x 10 4 sporulated oocysts from field isolates of E. acervulina, E. brunetti, E. maxima, E. mitis, E. praecox and E. tenella, whereas Group A was remained uninfected. Seven days after the coccidiosis induction, infected birds were divided into 4 groups to receive orally with 20 mg usnic acid (Group C), 100 mg usnic acid (Group D) and 7 mg toltrazuril (Group E) per kg body weight. The birds in Group B were untreated and served as infected control. The experiment was terminated at 29 days of age. As a result of the study it was evaluated that infected birds had lower feed intake and body weight and worse feed conversion, higher intestinal lesion score, longer small intestine and cecum, and higher fecal oocyst count than healthy birds. The anticoccidial effect of usnic acid at 100 mg/kg application dose was comparable to toltrazuril as reflected by alleviations in performance and pathology findings. In conclusion, it is demonstrated that usnic acid possesses some anticoccidial effects, but not nearly as good as toltrazuril. Keywords: Lichen, Usnic acid, Toltrazuril, Broiler, Coccidiosis Usnik Asitin Broylerlerdeki Anticoccidial Etkinliği ÖzetBu çalışmada, bir liken metaboliti olan usnik asitin coccidiosise karşı terapötik etkinliğinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Toplam 160 adet, 1 günlük yaştaki erkek Ross 308 civciv, her bir grup 4 tekerrürlü olacak şekilde 5 deneysel gruba (A-E) ayrılmıştır. Hayvanlar 16 günlük yaşa geldiğinde Grup B-E'dekiler E. acervulina, E. brunetti, E. maxima, E. mitis, E. praecox ve E. tenella'nın saha izolatlarından elde edilmiş inokulumdan 30 x 10 4 sporlanmış oocyst ile enfekte edilmiştir. Grup A'da yer alanlar civcivler ise enfekte edilmeden kontrol olarak bırakılmıştır. Hastalık oluşturulduktan 7 gün sonra, enfekte hayvanlara ağız yolu ile 20 mg/kg usnik asit (Grup C), 100 mg/kg usnik asit (Grup D) ve 7 mg/kg toltrazuril (Grup E) uygulanmış; B grubundaki enfekte hayvanlara tedavi uygulanmadan enfekte kontrol olarak bırakılmıştır. Broylerler 29 günlük olduğunda çalışma sona erdirilmiştir. Enfekte hayvanların sağlıklı hayvanlara kıyasla daha düşük yem tüketimi, vücut ağırlığı ve yemden yararlanma oranına; daha yüksek lezyon skoruna, daha uzun bağırsak uzunluğuna ve daha yüksek oocyst sayısına sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Performans ve patolojik bulgulardaki değişimler göz önünde bulundurulduğunda 100 mg/kg dozda uygulanan usnik asitin toltrazuril ile karşılaştırılabilecek derecede anticoccidal etkinliğe sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak; usnik asitin bazı anticoccidial etkinliklere sahip olduğu ancak bu etkilerin toltrazuril kadar güçlü olmadığı kanısına varılmıştır.
