“…While, significantly high a level of TLC was observed in all tested groups. The parallel study has been reported by Tripathi et al (2017) which showed a significant decrease in TRBC count and Hb level in infected in Japanese quail, increase in TLC was found in infected quails. It has been observed that pyocyanine, secreted by P. aeruginosa may cause the suppression of specific defense mechanisms and boost harmful inflammatory responses of the host during infection with P. aeruginosa.…”

The present study was aimed to evaluate the in-vitro and in-vivo antibacterial effects of the Typha elephantina aqueous extract (TE.AQ), ethanolic extract (TE.ET) and T. elephantina methanolic extract (TE.ME) against eight selected clinical pathogens. The test samples were tested for in-vitro analysis (by disc diffusion method) at different concentrations of 5, 15, 25, 50 and 100 mg/dL against both gram positive and gram-negative strains. The highest potential was observed in TE.ME at a concentration of 100 mg/dL against Pseudomonas aeruginosa exhibiting 19.67 ± 0.577 mm zone of inhibition (ZOI). The same fraction also showed good activity against Staphylococus aureus with ZOI of 17.50 ± 0.70 mm. The TE.ET was found most active against P. aeruginosa and Streptococcus pyogenes having ZOI of 18.53 ± 0.503 and 16.2 ± 1.55 mm respectively at a concentration of 100 mg/dL. The most sensitive bacteria P. aeruginosa was selected for in-vivo study (using poultry chicks) for induction of infection in chicks. The effects of TE.AQ, TE.ET and TE.ME were determined at concentrations of 300 mg/kg body weight based on hematological parameters, liver enzymes and gross pathological findings of lungs and livers. The findings of the in-vivo study in chick's model showed that treatment of experimental animals with TE.ME significantly restored the hematological parameters, liver enzymes and architecture of lungs and livers. Based on scientific evidence, the current study suggests that TE.ME may serve as a best and new natural antibacterial agent and can be used against infections caused by P. aeruginosa.

“…Javed et al [19] observed that a 20 ml/l water-based herbal infusion (Ajwain with other herbal plant) significantly improve various haematological parameters and immunity in broiler chicks. Tripathi et al [24] reported that feeding of Ajwain, hot red pepper and black pepper significantly enhanced the performance of broilers, thereby improving the profitability of broiler sector. According to Samadian et al [25], the utilization of Ajwain could impact feed intake and feed conversation ratio in broiler chicks.…”

Aim: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the impact of Ajwain supplementation on the serum biochemical parameters of Pratapdhan chicken breed. Study Design: Descriptive Study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Livestock Production and Management, Sri Karan Narendra Agriculture University, Jobner, between 12 December 2016 to 5 February 2017. Methodology: A totally randomized strategy was used to disperse 120 Pratapdhan chicks. The chicks were distributed into four treatment groups, each one contained 30 chicks. The treatment groups included the control (basal diet), T1 (basal diet + 0.1% Ajwain seed powder), T2 (basal diet + 0.2% Ajwain seed powder), and T3 (basal diet + 0.3% Ajwain seed powder). Daily records of the shed's temperature and humidity were used to calculate the Temperature Humidity Index (THI). During the experimental period, standard feeding practices and all other management techniques were used. One bird from each replicate was slaughtered on end day of the experiment period (2, 4, 6, and 8 week) to estimate serum biochemical parameters. The experiment lasted 8 weeks. Results: A significant difference (P<0.05) was observed in calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium values, among the biochemical indicators that varied between the treatment groups and the control group at whole tested period except the calcium concentration at 8 weeks of periods was not significantly (P>0.05) difference. Cholesterol value was observed (P<0.05) significantly decreasing with Ajwain supplementation groups when compared to control group. Conclusion: Dietary inclusion of Ajwain seed powder had not negative effect on the serum bio-chemical parameters of Pratapdhan broiler breed and lowering cholesterol concentration, which directly affects humans who consume poultry meat.

“…Recently, the use of antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) in poultry diets has raised concern about the development of antibiotic-resistant microbes and their effect on human health [3]. Consequently, there is a trend in many investigations to seek for possible replacements for AGPs in broiler chicken diets, such as probiotics, prebiotics, organic acids and enzymes [4], plant extracts, herbs and medicinal plants [5,6,7] and spices such as cloves and nutmeg [8].…”

This study was carried out to assess the effect of nutmeg, clove and their composite as additives on the semen characteristics, gonadal and extra-gonadal sperm reserves of the cocks. 168 matured cocks (Isa Brown breed) were randomly assigned to 7 dietary treatments where the control diet without the test and 6 other treatment ingredients were tagged Diet I to VII. They were 250 mg nutmeg, 500mg nutmeg, 250mg clove, 500mg clove and their composites at 250 mg nutmeg-clove, 500mg nutmeg-clove, respectively. Each dietary treatment has 4 replicates of 6 birds per replicate. The feeding trial lasted for 10 weeks. At the end of the feeding trial, 3 cocks per replicate were humanely sacrificed and their reproductive tracts were dissected. All data obtained were subjected to statistical analysis of variance (ANOVA) procedure of SAS (2008). The significant treatment means were compared using New Duncan Multiple range test option of the same software. The results showed that all the semen characteristics were significantly and positively affected by inclusion of nutmeg and clove up to 0.50 g.kg -1 diet.
