“…Short-and medium-chain fatty acids, as well as essential oils (EO), can be considered promising candidates for preventing NE. EO have been reported to possess in vitro antimicrobial and antioxidant activities against a wide range of pathogenic bacteria [9], as well as to improve intestinal integrity and fortify the mucosal barrier [10], and to enhance cellular and humoral immunity [11]. On the other hand, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are either simple mono-carboxylic acids such as formic, acetic, propionic, and butyric acids or carboxylic acids with the hydroxyl group such as lactic, malic, tartaric, and citric acids or short-chain carboxylic acids containing double bonds like fumaric and sorbic acids [12].…”

An experiment was performed to evaluate the effect of four different microencapsulated blends of organic acids (OA) and nature-identical aromatic compounds (AC) on growth performance and gut health of broilers challenged with a recycled NE litter. A total of 600 one-day-old male Ross 308 broilers were randomly assigned to five treatments consisting of a basal diet (as negative control) supplemented with each of the tested microencapsulated blends: OA1 (malic and fumaric acid) + AC; 2.5 g/kg; OA2 (calcium butyrate+fumaric acid) + AC; 1.7 g/kg; MCFA (capric-caprylic; caproic and lauric acid) + AC; 2 g/kg; and MCFA + OA3 (calcium butyrate+fumaric and citric acid) + AC; 1.5 g/kg. The AC used was the same for all treatments; including cinnamaldehyde, carvacrol, and thymol (8:1:1), as major compounds. Three tested blends enhanced growth performance by improving intestinal histomorphology (p < 0.001). The tested blends enhanced the abundance of some beneficial families such as Ruminococcaceae and Lachnospiraceae; while reducing that of harmful ones such as Enterobacteriaceae and Helicobacteraceae. A further dose-response experiment showed that 0.5 g/kg of the blend 2 and 2 g/kg of the blend 4 improved growth performance and intestinal histomorphology of chickens on d 42 and decreased fecal Enterobacteriaceae and C. perfringens counts. Similar effects to the previous experiment were observed for cecum microbiota.

“…Accordingly, the results obtained from the study agreed with those of other studies. Awaad et al (2014) reported that a 100 g/ton addition of CAP (2.18%) + CAR (5.04%) + CIN (2.90%) reduced the BWG in comparison to the control in a 1-week period, did not change it in a period of 1-3 weeks, and increased it in a period of 3-5 weeks. Bravo et al (2011) reported that, the CAR (5%) + CIN (3%) + CAP (2%) mixture was not effective by 100 mg/kg combination in 1-22 nd days on BWG, while Karadas et al (2014) found that addition of the same mixture and dosage to the feed increased BWG by 86 g in comparison to the control in the period of 0-21 st days.…”

“…According to Al-Kassie (2009), addition of 200 ppm carvacrol reduced the abdominal fat ratio, while addition of 200 ppm cinnamon oil increased it. Awaad et al (2014) reported that the addition of CAP+CAR+CIN to the feed reduced the abdominal fat by 0.27% in comparison to the control group. Considering Table 9, the difference among the groups in terms of the circulation and secretion organs obtained from the slaughtered animals and the ratios of these in total live weight was not significant (p>0.05).…”

“…Considering previous studies on the effects of essential oils and main components on body weight, there were conflicts. Accordingly, it was stated by Fotea et al (2010) that addition of 1% carvacrol in the 0-42 nd days, by Al Mashhadani et al (2011a) that addition of 200 mg/kg thyme + 200 mg/kg anise in the 28-38 th days and by Awaad et al (2014) that addition of 100 g/ton CAP+CAR+CIN (+111 g) improved live weight significantly. According to Kucukyılmaz et al (2012), addition of a commercial mixture containing thyme by 48 mg/kg in the 0-42 nd days, and according to Celikbilek et al (2014), addition of a commercial oil mixture by 2 g/kg, did not create an effect on body weight.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of dietary capsicum oleoresin (CAP, 150 mg/kg), carvacrol (CAR, 150 mg/kg), cinnamaldehyde (CIN, 150 mg/kg) and equal amount of mixtures (CAP+CAR+CIN, 50 mg/kg each, capsicum oleoresin + carvacrol + cinnamaldehyde) supplements on growth performance, carcass characteristics, intestinal microflora, some blood parameters and IGF1 gene expression levels in broiler chickens. In the experiment, four hundred Ross-308 day-old, both sexs broiler chicks were randomly distributed to five dietary treatments, each with five replicates. Among these five dietary treatment groups formed for the experiment, the control group was fed without feed additives (control), the second group with 150 mg capsicum oleoresin for each kg of feed, the third group with 150 mg carvacrol for each kg of feed, the fourth group with 150 mg cinnamaldehyde for each kg of feed, and the last group with 150 mg mixtures for each kg of feed. The experiment was maintained to six weeks. According to the research results, the effects of dietary treatments on the body weight and the body weight gain were found to be significant (p<0.05). Especially in the group fed on diet added CAP+CAR+CIN, the treatments had a significant effect on feed intake and feed conversion ratio as well as body weight and body weight gain when compared to the control group on a periodic basis (p<0.05). In addition, the effect of the treatments on livability is insignificant (p>0.05). Among carcass properties, only carcass yield and some organ-related properties were significantly affected from addition of capsicum oleoresin, carvacrol, cinnamaldehyde and their mixtures (p<0.05). Cinnamaldehyde and mixture groups caused to significantly (p<0.05) reduce AST levels, carvacrol, cinnamaldehyde and capsicum oleoresin groups led to decrease level of triglycerides, carvacrol and mixture groups importantly (p<0.05) affected LDL levels were detected. And also, especially in the mixture groups, the number of ileum Lactobacillus spp. was found to be significantly higher (p<0.05) than the other groups. The changes in dietary content were not accompanied by changes in IGF-1 gene expression levels (p>0.05). In conclusion, the supplementation carvacrol, cinnamaldehyde, capsicum oleoresin and especially their mixtures at the level of 150 mg/kg to broiler diets affected positively growth performance, slaughter characteristics, some examined intestinal microflora and blood parameters in broiler chickens.

“…A study by Fu et al [13] also demonstrated the effectiveness of a Chinese herbal extract made from licorice, luhanguo, chrysthemum, and Chinese tea in the inhibition of the FMD virus in BHK21 cells and suckling mice. The simultaneous administration of PE consisting of carvacrol, cinnamaldehyde, and capsicum oleoresin with the Newcastle disease vaccine enhanced immunoglobulin production in broiler chickens, indicating that PE could partially counter immune dysfunction [31]. In addition, the antiviral activity of PE obtained from turmeric, Ashwangandha, and Tulsi plant against FMDV has been reported; but the mechanism for this was unclear if it was due to the inhibition of phytochemicals for viral attachment, entry, replication assembly, and transmission from one cell to other [18].…”

The present study was conducted to assess the efficacy of a plant extract (PE) on growth performance and immune status in foot and mouth disease (FMD)-vaccinated growing pigs. A total of 120 crossed ((Landrace × Yorkshire) × Duroc) growing pigs with an average initial body weight (BW) of 24.66 ± 2.34 kg and an average age of 70 days were randomized into three groups (10 pens; 4 pigs per pen per treatment) as follows: a nonvaccinated negative control group (NV), a FMD vaccinated group (OV), and a third group received a 0.0125% PE supplement after vaccination (PV), in a 6-week trial. The PV group receiving PE supplementation increased (p < 0.05) the BW compared with the OV group, and average daily gain (ADG) during days 1–14, overall and gain-to-feed ratio (G: F) in days 1–14, and dry matter (DM) digestibility at week 6 were higher (p < 0.05) in the PV compared with the OV group. A significant increase (p < 0.05) in haptoglobin concentration was observed in the OV group compared with the NV group at 25 days postvaccination. The inhibition percentage of antibodies against FMD in the sera reached above 50% in the PV group 5 days earlier than in the OV group. The findings suggest that the inclusion of PE in the diet promoted the performance of vaccinated growing pigs.
