“…The result were agreement with Yang (28) whom reported that the addition of essential oils and organic acids in bird diet during finisher period were increased villus height to crypt depth ratio when compared to the bird fed diet with 0.15 g per kg enramycin at grower period. While, the result disagree with finding of Ahmed (2) whom recorded that the extract of peppermint had desirable effect on crypt depth and villus height in ileal in small intestine. The increase of villus height: crypt depth ratio can indicate an increase in the turnover of epithelial cells in the intestinal part due to the increase of beneficial bacteria in mint groups (16).…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of different levels of peppermint (Mentha piperita) on broiler performance, jejunum morphology, organs percentage and serum biochemical content. A total of 576-day old ross 308 chickens was divided randomly into 12 treatments with 4 replicates pen per treatment and 12 birds each pen. Treatments were arranged in a 2 × 6 factorial arrangement of treatments was employed. Factors were challenge, - or +; control, antibiotic, 0.5 % peppermint in feed, 1% peppermint in feed, 0.5% peppermint in water and 1% peppermint in water. The result of study was showed that the peppermint supplementation was significant effect on feed intake, feed conversion ratio and it has effect on body weight at day 24 and 35. The peppermint supplementation either in feed and water at 24 day had a significant effect on jejunum muscle thickness and villus/ crypt ratio while not effect on villus height and crypt depth. In conclusion, supplementation of peppermint has positive effect on broiler performance and gut morphology.

“…Spearmint ( Mentha spicata ) has been utilized for human therapy and applied as a phyto-additive in the poultry industry [ 10 , 11 ]. Spearmint is enriched in bioactive components like carvone, limonene, phenolic acids, flavonoids, and ascorbic acid in the leaves, which express antioxidants, antimicrobials, and anti-inflammatory properties [ 10 , 12 ]. Broilers received spearmint leaf powder with the basal ration, accelerating production performance [ 11 , 13 ].…”

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the influence of feeding fresh lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) or spearmint (Mentha spicata) and their combination on performance, serum metabo¬lites, liver enzymes, and meat quality in broilers. Materials and Methods: A total of 168 day-old Indian River chicks were arbitrarily offered four experimental rations: (i) control ration (CT-R): corn-soya-based ration, (ii) lemongrass ration (LG-R): CT-R + 1.0% DM of lemongrass; (iii) spearmint ration (SM-R): CT-R + 1.0% DM of spearmint; and (iv) lemongrass-spearmint ration (LS-R): CT-R + 0.5% DM from both lemongrass and spear¬mint. Each ration was given to 42 birds for a duration of 35 days, with 3 replications and 14 birds each. Results: Elevated body weight gain was observed in LG-R (1,502 gm), LS-R (1,492 gm), and SM-R (1,474 gm) compared to CT-R (1,451 gm) (p = 0.078). Herbal rations successfully reduced almost 3%–5% of serum and meat total cholesterol concentrations compared to CT-R. Compared to CT-R, the highest zinc and iron concentrations of serum and meat were measured in LG-R and SM-R, respectively, while both minerals of serum and meat were observed to be better in LS-R (p < 0.05). Herbal rations significantly improved serum liver enzyme activity and ameliorated the red color of breast and thigh meat but failed to improve the lightness and yellowness of both types of meat compared to CT-R. Conclusions: LG-R, SM-R, and LS-R improved bird performance, liver health, and meat color, and lowered serum and meat cholesterol levels. But among them, LS-R efficaciously increased the serum and meat zinc and iron concentrations.

“…Mashayekhi et al (2018) reported a 4.1% FCR improvement due to eucalyptus leaf powder. Ahmed et al (2016) reported that peppermint oil supplementation at 250 mg/kg diet improved the feed efficiency to a similar improvement by the AGP (4.7%) but the supplementation in powder forms did not affect the body weight gain nor the feed efficiency in broilers. Asadi et al (2017) also reported that supplementation of peppermint powder in broilers diet improved the body weight gain (14.2 %) and the feed efficiency (6.4%).…”

“…The FCR improvement on broilers due to AGP supplementation varied from 3.2% (Fascina et al 2017), 4.7% (Ahmed et al 2016), 6.7% (Mashayekhi et al 2018), and 7.3% (Ertas et al 2005). Many efforts on the use of plant bioactives as feed additives to replace the antibiotic have been reported.…”

Antibiotics (AGP) have been used as feed additives to promote growth and feed efficiency in poultry production. However, many countries include Indonesia now ban the use of AGP and attempts are made to replace the antibiotic to maintain good performances of broilers. Plant bioactives is one of the alternatives that could replace the AGP. An experiment was conducted in an attempt to replace the AGP in broiler feed with a mixture of some plant bioactives<strong> </strong>(liquid smoke of cashew nutshell, <em>Phyllanthus niruri,</em> and clove leaves). Eight (8) dietary treatments were formulated to have similar nutrients consist of negative control (NC), positive control (NC+AGP), diets supplemented with liquid plant bioactives in 3 levels and diets supplemented with powder plant bioactives in 3 levels. Each diet was fed to 6 replications of 10 birds each from 1 to 35 days old. The performances and the immune response of the broilers due to the treatments were observed. Results showed that the powder plant bioactives could not improve the performance of broilers. None of the feed additives (AGP or plant bioactives) affect the immune systems of the broilers. However, liquid plant bioactives in low dose improved the performance of broilers better than the AGP and therefore is suitable to replace the antibiotic as feed additives in broiler diet.
