“…Adult quails increase interaction (aggressive or non-aggressive) as a result of regrouping with the aim of restoring the hierarchy of the group formed (Guzmán et al, 2013). This phenomenon occurs mainly within the first 24 hours after exposure of birds to such social stress (Tenório et al, 2017) or in the first week (Guzmán et al, 2013). Therefore, the greater expression of pecking and riding behaviors may be the result of the adaptation period of these birds until they reestablish the group hierarchy.…”

This study aims to evaluate effects of inclusion of moringa in Japanese quail diets on laying performance, egg quality, blood parameters, serum biochemical profile, and behavior. One hundred and forty-four Japanese quails, approximately 35-d-old, were distributed in a completely randomized design with four treatments and six replications. Treatments were diet inclusion of 0, 2, 4 and 6% of dried and ground moringa leaves. The inclusion of moringa in diets reduces the quadratic feed intake up to the level of 1.20%, increases weight of eggs with a quadratic behavior up to 3.80%, and linearly increases yolk weight. Yolk color changes with higher levels of inclusion of moringa and resulted in more intense colors. The biochemical profile of quails changed slightly but remains within the normal range. The inclusion of 4% of moringa in diets increases alkaline phosphatase. Regarding cholesterol and triglycerides, diet with 6% moringa inclusion was lower when compared to the others. The behavior of laying quails does not change due to inclusion of moringa in diets. Up to 3.83% of Moringa oleifera can be included in Japanese quail diet to improve egg quality without compromising performance, biochemical profile, blood parameters and behavior.

“…These results also agreed with Abd El-Galil et al (2011); Attia (2018) who observed a significant improvement in FCR for the treatment with dietary CFP. Inversely, several previous studies did not record any significant effects on FCR due to supplementing laying diets with chamomile (Abaza, 2007;Abu Taleb et al, 2008;Tenório et al, 2017 andBehnamifar et al, 2018). No mortality was recorded among all treatments in the present study, and this may be due to the CFP and/or its bioactive components as a promising feed additive used in this experiment.…”

“…However, Abd El-Galil et al (2010); Galib and Khalel (2011) and Pandian et al (2013) who stated that supplementation of chamomile to laying Japanese quail or Rhode Island Red chickens diets, respectively, significantly increased FC in comparison with the control. Several previous studies did not record any significant effects on FC due to supplementing laying diets with chamomile (Abu Taleb et al, 2008;Marques et al, 2010 andTenório, et al, 2017). Regarding the FCR, ducks fed diet supplemented with 1 g CFP/kg (T2) had the lowest value (P≤0.05) of FCR in comparison with the other groups, it was observed that T2 improved FCR by about 9.5 and 22.0% as compared to the control group during the periods 31-35 and 35-39 weeks of age, respectively as shown in Table 2.…”

“…These were in agreement with Abaza (2007); Hamodi (2007); Poracova et al (2007a); Abd El-Galil et al (2010) and Attia (2018) who concluded that supplementation of chamomile of laying diets increased LR, TEN and EM. Several previous studies did not record any significant effects on LR, TEN and EM due to supplementing laying diets with chamomile (Poracova et al, 2007b;Abu Taleb et al, 2008;Marques et al, 2010;Tenório et al, 2017 andBehnamifar et al, 2018). Generally, disagreement between the current results and previous studies may be related to the differences in herbal sources, bird species, type of materials either a powder, extract or oil and the herbal concentrations, as well as the variations in the experimental conditions.…”

A total of 261 Sudani ducks breeder (207 females and 54 drakes), 27-weeks old were used, weighed and divided into three experimental groups (each of three replicates) to investigate the effect of chamomile flower (Matericaria chamomilla L.) powder (CFP) addition at different levels (0, 1 and 3 g/kg diet) on productive performance, egg uniformity quality, hatchability and economic efficiency during the laying period. The results indicated that dietary CFP at level 1 g/kg significantly (P≤0.05) improved laying rate, egg number, egg mass, feed conversion ratio compared to the control group during the overall experimental period (27-39 weeks of age). In spite of, egg weight and egg uniformity, egg shape index, yolk index, haugh unit, yolk color score and hatchability percentage of fertile were not significantly affected by different levels of dietary CFP, while eggshell thickness was significantly increased. Feed consumption and fertile percentage of Sudani ducks were significantly decreased affected by levels of CFP. Economic efficiency was also improved for Sudani ducks fed diet supplemented with 1 g CFP/kg. From the obtained results, it could be concluded that dietary addition of 1 g CFP /kg for Sudani duck breeders during the laying period may be could improve productive performance, net revenue and the relative economical returns, besides reduce the feed consumption.

“…Chamomile is characterized as low -growing apple scent expressing its Greek name Chamos (ground) and melos (apple) [7]. It presents a pleasant taste with various medicinal effects including anti-inflammatory, anticancer (skin, breast, ovarian, or prostate), antioxidant, antiphlogisitis, treatment of wound, acute viral nasopharyngitis (known as common cold), infant colic disorder, haemorrhoids, mucositis, osteoporosis, vaginitis, improving cardiac health, managing diabetes, sleep, sedation, anxiety, seizure, eczema, digestive disorders, diminishing hyperglycaemiarelated oxidative stress, and others [1,8,9]. Numerical Taste predication (Table (1), Figure (2)) confirmed sour probability of the tested constituents ranged (o.537-1) for bitter, (0.546-0.989) for sweet, and (0.834-1) for sour character.…”

Chamomile is an ancient herb used for various medications. It contains many bioactive constituents such as volatile oils, terpenoids, flavonoids, lactones, acid esters, glycosides and others. By reviewing many references, a confliction appeared of using Chamomile preparations to treat primary teeth eruption symptoms as a therapy administered by pediatric dentist or pediatrician. In this study, thirteen bioactive constituents (α-bisabolol (B), chamazulene (C), umbelliferone (U), apigenin (A), apigetrin (AT), apiin (AI), luteolin (L), quercetin (Q), quercimertrin (QT), rutin (R), α-cadinene (CD), α-farnesene (F), and matricarin (M) were subject to computational predication through various online websites to predicate their taste, activity towards several CYP450 enzymes and their action as Hepatotoxic, carcinogenic, immunotoxic, mutagenic, and cytotoxic compounds. Our calculations revealed several points such as high value of taste predication indicated that Chamomile constituents under study were with sour taste, did not classify as individual fatal compound Class (GHS) 1 or 2, 44.87% of them showed inhibition character toward specific cytochrome P450 enzyme while 43.59% were non- inhibition character, more than (0.5) probability predication of various cytochrome P450 enzymes gave a positive activity that may affect liver functions. Also, hepatotoxicity, carcinogenicity, immunotoxicity, mutagenicity, and cytotoxicity predictions were more than (0.5), unsaturated Chamomile constituent (Farnesene, F) had highest immune – and mutagenic properties whilst the disaccharide flavonoid (Rutin, R) had the highest Carcino- immunogenic response. According to the above notes, our conclusion is to use minimum concentration of Chamomile preparation for less period of time and lowest repeating intake that ensure effective treatment of teething symptoms under supervision of pediatricians with minimum side effect.
