“…A decrease in hatchability and embryo mortality was also observed by Melo et al ( 217 ). At the same time, there are numerous data indicating no negative in ovo effects on hatchability and mortality ( 115 , 218 – 220 ), decreased embryo mortality ( 218 ), or improved hatchability ( 221 , 222 ).…”

The poultry industry has improved genetics, nutrition, and management practices, resulting in fast-growing chickens; however, disturbances during embryonic development may affect the entire production cycle and cause irreversible losses to broiler chicken producers. The most crucial time in the chicks' development appears to be the perinatal period, which encompasses the last few days of pre-hatch and the first few days of post-hatch. During this critical period, intestinal development occurs rapidly, and the chicks undergo a metabolic and physiological shift from the utilization of egg nutrients to exogenous feed. However, the nutrient reserve of the egg yolk may not be enough to sustain the late stage of embryonic development and provide energy for the hatching process. In addition, modern hatchery practices cause a delay in access to feed immediately post-hatch, and this can potentially affect the intestinal microbiome, health, development, and growth of the chickens. Development of the in ovo technology allowing for the delivery of bioactive substances into chicken embryos during their development represents a way to accommodate the perinatal period, late embryo development, and post-hatch growth. Many bioactive substances have been delivered through the in ovo technology, including carbohydrates, amino acids, hormones, prebiotics, probiotics and synbiotics, antibodies, immunostimulants, minerals, and microorganisms with a variety of physiological effects. In this review, we focused on the physiological effects of the in ovo delivery of these substances, including their effects on embryo development, gastrointestinal tract function and health, nutrient digestion, immune system development and function, bone development, overall growth performance, muscle development and meat quality, gastrointestinal tract microbiota development, heat stress response, pathogens exclusion, and birds metabolism, as well as transcriptome and proteome. We believe that this method is widely underestimated and underused by the poultry industry.

“…Among the 20 AAs, Thr was the most effective in removing Cd from mice and decreased the AST and ALT levels in serum, the two biomarkers for evaluating liver oxidative stress [40]. Thr is an important factor concerning the health and productive performance of broiler chicken [41]. Insufficient Thr intake can inhibit the expression of immune genes in prawns [42].…”

Cadmium (Cd) can easily enter the body through the food chain and threaten health since Cd pollution is prevalent in the environment. Gut microbiota is necessary for the reduction of metal ions. To reduce Cd-induced harmful impacts and Cd accumulation in the body, we investigated the effect of amino acids on gut microbiota and Cd excretion in (fecal Cd) Cd-exposed mice. The screening of 20 amino acids showed that threonine (Thr) effectively increased fecal Cd, and reduced Cd-induced intestinal structural damage. The abundance of Escherichia-Shigella genus and KF843036_g significantly increased after the oral administration of Thr. As the type species of the Escherichia-Shigella genus, Escherichia coli exhibited high similarity to KF843036_g species and significantly decreased Cd-induced gut damage. Cd contents in the liver, kidney, and gut of Cd-exposed mice were also significantly (p < 0.05) decreased after E. coli treatment, while the contents in the feces were increased. The results demonstrated the potential roles that gut E. coli might play in Thr-mediated Cd excretion in Cd-exposed mice. The findings may provide important data for better understanding the molecular biological mechanism of Thr in reducing Cd accumulation in the body.

“…The liver is a vital organ with metabolic activities and normal physiological functions. The functions of the liver are correlated with gastrointestinal tract (GIT), and the disorder between this balance may danger to drug toxicity and introduction of xenobiotics within the organism [ 25 , 26 ]. Therefore, the antioxidant treatment is very effective for the controlling the oxidative stress conditions and correct or control the equilibrium between the antioxidant and oxidants in the encouragement of the liver pathogenesis and protection of hepatocytes from excessive exposure to oxidative stress.…”

“…Aflatoxin poses a great threat to the poultry industry. PCP enhances growth performance, immunoglobulin level, and oxidative capability and reversing oxidative stress and pathological lesions in the liver; PCP administered to AFB1-affected birds lessens the negative effects; also, apoptosis was reversed [ 25 , 26 ]. Figure 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating the therapeutic effects and underlying mechanism of action PCP in different animals.…”

Traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) play an important role in the control and treatment of several animal diseases. Penthorum chinense Pursh (PCP) is a famous plant for its use in traditional medication practice and therapeutic effects in numerous pathological conditions. In China, PCP is utilized for both food and medication due to numerous bioactivities. PCP is widely administered in prevention and treatment of traumatic injury, edema, and liver diseases with functions of reducing swelling, support diuresis, blood stasis, and mitigation symptoms of excessive alcohol intake. Recently, PCP highlighted for research trials in various fields including pharmacology, pharmacognosy, cosmeceuticals, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceuticals due to medicinal significance with less toxicity and an effective ethnomedicine in veterinary practice. PCP contains diverse important ingredients such as flavonoids, organic acids, coumarins, lignans, polyphenols, and sterols that are important bioactive constituents of PCP exerting the therapeutic benefits and organ-protecting effects. In veterinary, PCP extract, compound, and phytochemicals/biomolecules significantly reversed the liver and kidney injuries, via antioxidation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, mitochondrial signaling pathways, and related genes. PCP water extract and compounds also proved in animal and humans’ clinical trial for their hepatoprotective, antiaging, nephroprotective, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, antibacterial, antiapoptotic, immune regulation, and antioxidative stress pathways. This updated review spotlighted the current information on efficiency and application of PCP by compiling and reviewing recent publications on animal research. In addition, this review discussed the toxicology, traditional use, comparative, and clinical application of PCP in veterinary practices to authenticate and find out new perspectives on the research and development of this herbal medicine.
