“…Concomitant with the reduced MDA concentration, the NO supplement‐induced reduction in RT of birds exposed to a 35°C heat challenge for 3 hr could be another indicator that dietary NO suppressed lipid peroxidation in the present study. Our finding was consistent with the result of heat‐stressed (32.5°C) commercial Ross broiler study by Egbuniwe, Ayo, Kawu, and Mohammed () who reported a reduction in the RT by dietary 50 ppm ascorbic acid (AA). They explained that dietary AA scavenged ROS, thereby lowered the RT.…”

This study investigated the effect of dietary nutmeg oil (NO) on growth performance, blood parameters, lipid peroxidation and heat shock protein (HSP) 70 expression in Korean native chicken (KNC) reared under hot temperature. We allocated 273 meat‐type KNCs (Hanhyup‐3, 4‐week‐old, body weight [BW] = 539.93 ± 1.75 g) to the following three treatments with seven replicate pens (13 birds/pen) per treatment. Three treatment diets were as follows: (a) Control, basal diet without NO supplementation; (b) NO 250; and (c) NO 500, basal diet supplemented with 250 and 500 ppm NO respectively. Diets and water were provided ad libitum throughout the 6‐week feeding trial. During overall period (0–6 weeks), no differences (p > 0.05) were observed in BW gain (BWG), feed intake (FI) and feed conversion rate (FCR) among treatments. However, the FI at 0–3 weeks decreased (p < 0.05) quadratically with increasing NO levels. Most blood parameters did not differ (p > 0.05) among treatments, although the monocyte level of the NO 500 group was considerably lower (p > 0.05) than that of the other groups. Furthermore, dietary NO did not affect serum triglyceride, cholesterol, total protein, albumin, calcium, phosphorus and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels (p > 0.05); however, it linearly decreased serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) level (p < 0.05). Additionally, serum malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration decreased (p < 0.05) and heart MDA concentration was lower (p = 0.08) with increasing dietary NO supplementation. After a 3‐hr heat (35°C) challenge, the rectal temperature (RT) reduced (p < 0.05) linearly with increasing NO levels. Dietary NO did not affect liver HSP70 (p > 0.05) gene expression. In conclusion, NO potentially enhanced the ability of chickens to alleviate heat stress. Furthermore, our findings suggest that lipid oxidation inhibition by dietary NO likely mediated the enhanced heat‐stress tolerance of the chickens.

“…naturally exposed to heat stress and their endogenous antioxidants were not potent enough to mitigate its adverse effects. These findings are in agreement with previous studies in the tropic (Egbuniwe et al, 2015). The CT values recorded in the fisetin-administered group were higher than the values recorded in the probiotic and the co-administered groups, respectively.…”

“…The major factor that negatively affects broiler chickens production in the subtropics and tropics is heat stress (Aluwong et al, 2017;Goel et al, 2021;Sugiharto et al, 2017). The combined effects of high relative humidity (RH) and high ambient temperature (AT) have been reported to induce thermal stress in chickens (Egbuniwe et al, 2015;Jiang et al, 2020;Kim et al, 2021;Qaid et al, 2021), therefore, lipid peroxidation resulting from hyperthermia may damage some of their vital organs (Rhoads et al, 2013;Al-Zghoul & Saleh, 2020;Aksoy et al, 2021;Gogoi et al, 2021). Antioxidants are used universally in dietary supplementation, and these supplements are beneficial in ameliorating tissue damages induced by stress (Gouda et al, 2020;Sun et al, 2015).…”

Cloacal temperature responses of broiler chickens administered with fisetin and probiotic (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and exposed to heat stress

There is dearth information on the role of fisetin as an antistress agent in ameliorating heat stress in broiler chickens. Here, we experimentally compared probiotic, an antioxidant and antistress agent, with fisetin, an antioxidant agent with little or no report on its antistress effect. Sixty-day-old broiler chickens (Arbo Acre breed) were allotted into 4 groups of 15 birds each as follows; control, fisetin, probiotic, and fisetin + probiotic groups, respectively. All administrations were performed orally through gavage for the treatment groups. The environmental and cloacal temperature (CT) parameters were measured bi-hourly at Days 21, 28, and 35 from 7:00 to 7:00 hr, during the period of study. The environmental parameters exceeded the thermoneutral zone for broiler chickens. The probiotic-supplemented group had the least overall mean CT values all through the experimental period. Based on our findings, fisetin was not a potent antistress agent in mitigating heat stress in birds.

“…Similarly, Egbuniwe et al. () demonstrated a decrease in t cloacal values in broiler chickens administered with the antioxidants, betaine and ascorbic acid during the hot‐dry season. Although the mechanism of action of zinc was not elucidated in this study, it may be linked partly to Zn induction of the ultimate antioxidants, metallothioneins; and protection of protein sulfhydryls.…”

The aim of the experiment was to evaluate effects of zinc gluconate (ZnGlu) and probiotic administration on the daily rhythm of cloacal temperature (t cloacal) in broiler chickens of different age groups during the hot‐dry season. One‐day‐old broiler chicks (n = 60) were divided into groups I–IV of 15 chicks per group, and treated for 35 days: Group I (control) was given deionized water; Group II, ZnGlu (50 mg/kg); Group III, probiotic (4.125 × 106 cfu/100 mL), and Group IV, ZnGlu (50 mg/kg) + probiotic (4.125 × 106 cfu/100 mL). Air dry‐bulb temperature (t db), relative humidity (RH), and temperature‐humidity index (THI) inside the pen, and t cloacal of each broiler chick were obtained bihourly over a 24‐h period; on days 21, 28, and 35 of the study. Values of tdb (32.10 ± 0.49°C), RH (49.94 ± 1.91%), and THI (38.85 ± 0.42) obtained were outside the thermoneutral zone for broiler chickens, and suggested that the birds were subjected to heat stress. Application of the periodic model showed disruption of daily rhythm of t cloacal in broilers on day 21, which was synchronized by probiotic administration. The administration of probiotics or ZnGlu + probiotics to a greater extent decreased the mesor and amplitude, delayed the acrophases of t cloacal in broilers, especially at day 35, as compared to the controls. Overall, the t cloacal values in broiler chickens administered with probiotic alone (41.25 ± 0.05°C) and ZnGlu + probiotic (41.52 ± 0.05°C) were lower (P < 0.001) than that of the controls (41.94 ± 0.06°C). In conclusion, probiotic alone synchronized t cloacal of the birds at day 21, and, in addition, decreased t cloacal response most, followed by its coadministration with ZnGlu, the antioxidants may be beneficial in modulating daily rhythmicity of tcloacal and alleviating adverse effects of heat stress on broiler chickens during the hot‐dry season.
