“…Our local population showed a similar average daily gain than other local populations [ 24 , 29 ]. However, the average daily gain was 19% higher in the synthetic line, but it was still lower than gains of different reported in other lines such as Hyla line (−16%) [ 30 ], New Zealand rabbits (−6%) [ 31 ], and V line (−11%) [ 28 ]. On the other side, although daily feed intake was similar in both groups, feed ratio conversion was better in the synthetic line (3.92) than the local population (4.81) due to a better feed efficiency in this line [ 23 ].…”

Aim: The objective of this work was to study the growth performance, slaughter traits, meat quality, and metabolic profile in rabbits of local Algerian population and a synthetic line. Materials and Methods: In total, 120 weaned rabbits were used (60 per group). Growth traits were recorded from weaning (35 days) to slaughter (91 days). At slaughter, carcass traits, meat quality, and metabolic profiles were measured. Results: The synthetic line showed heavier total weight and faster daily weight gain than the local population (+15% and +19%, respectively), better feed conversion (3.92 vs. 4.81 g/g), and heavier weight of cold carcass, and perirenal fat (+15%). No differences were found between the two groups in dressing out percentage, muscular pH, weight of liver, or scapular fat. Wider intestinal villi were found in the synthetic line (+20%, p<0.0001) allowing better absorption surface in this line. The synthetic line also showed higher fat content (3.41% vs. 2.22%, p<0.0001) in the meat and lower protein content (22.02% vs. 18.98%, p=0.0002). Glucose level was 19% higher in the local population than in the synthetic line. Conclusion: The synthetic line is well adapted to the local conditions of Algeria. This line has shown better growth, daily gain, and feed conversion, due to its better intestinal absorption surface.

“…It is believed that silymarin is mainly effective due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, thereby stimulating hepatocyte regeneration [ 36 ]. For example, Kosina et al [ 37 ] used milk thistle seed cakes in their experiment with rabbits containing 27% crude protein, 35% crude fiber, 10% fat, 6% starch and 4% of total flavonolignans (at 92% dry matter). This seed cakes contained more crude protein, more crude fiber and more total flavonolignans compared to ours.…”

The aims of this work were to summarize the nutritional value of the milk thistle seed cakes and hempseed cakes and describe the influence on selected performance parameters, metabolism and animal health from inclusion of these non-traditional feeds into diets. It seems more appropriate to apply the extract of the bioactive substances complex to the livestock diets than addition of expellers or other forms of plants processing. The seed expellers, etc. mostly worsened the chickens’ performance parameters with higher doses in diets, while most of the work using the extract yields had positive results on animal performance.

“…Flavonolignans determination was performed according to Kosina et al (2017). 1 g of homogenized sample was combined with 10 mL of the extraction mixture (H 2 O:ACN:MeOH in the ratio 10:50:40, v / v / v); the sample in the presence of the extraction mixture was vortexed for 1 min, sonicated in an ultrasonic bath for 30 min and then macerated for 12 h at room temperature in the dark.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of milk thistle seed cakes addition in laying hens diet to performance, blood biochemical parameters and antioxidant activity. A total of 30 Bovans Brown hens were included to the experiment. The trial was performed from the age of 69 weeks to 80 weeks of hens age. The experimental group received feed mixture containing 7% milk thistle seed cakes. Control group received feed mixture without milk thistle seed cakes. After the 69th week of age, the laying hens in the experimental group reached a higher number of eggs and produced more egg mass compared to the control group. In the evaluation of the egg quality parameters, higher Haugh units, a higher millimeter height of the egg and thinner eggshell in the group receiving 7% of the seed cakes were found. When evaluating health indicators, higher antioxidant activity was found in the experimental group. Blood biochemical parameters was without any differences.
