Effect of Emblica officinalis(amla) Fruit Powder on Morphometry of the Intestinal Mucosa in Broiler Chicken

Effect of Dietary Supplementation of Amla Fruit Powder on Semen Quality, Fertility, and Antioxidant Status of Rabbit Bucks

“…The impact of AFP juice extract on cholesterol-fed rats decreases serum total lipid, LDL, and total cholesterol levels due to the flavonoids found in the fruit, which can improve the lipid profile (Kim et al, 2005). Our results were in agreement with Dalal et al, (2018), who found that broilers supplemented with 0.75% or 1.0% AFP of the diet significantly decreased TC and LDL, while HDL increased dramatically compared with other low levels or the control group. The present results were confirmed by Begum et al, (2019), who found that supplemented 0.5% of AFP to broiler diet significantly decreased serum cholesterol and triglycerides.…”

“…These results are in disagreement with the results of many other studies Mekala et al, (2014), who found that a broiler-fed diet supplemented with AFP did not influence hematological parameters. Also, Dalal et al (2018), who showed no significant effect on hematological parameters of different levels of AFP (0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0%) of the broiler diet compared with the control.…”

“…This improvement in hematological parameters could be related to their content of iron and vitamin C, which play an essential role in improving hematological parameters Abo Ghanima et al, (2023). Regarding the effect of AFP on the differentiation of leukocytes, Dalal et al, (2018) reported that supplementing AFP in the broiler diet at different levels of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0% significantly increased lymphocytes while significantly decreasing heterophil and heterophillymphocyte ratios compared with the control. Likewise, Abo Ghanima et al, (2023) reported that broilers supplemented with 3 g/kg of extract significantly increased lymphocytes and heterophils while decreasing eosinophils.…”

“…Dried amla fruits (Emblica officinalis) were purchased from the local market and ground to a fine powder using an electric dry mill; the powders were stored in well-tied black plastic bags at room temperature (~25 °C) (Begum et al, 2019;Dalal et al, 2018). The chemical composition of amla fruit powder (AFP) is presented in Table 1 according to the official methods (AOAC, 1995).…”
