“…Meat colours, taste and smell were all improved when broiler 329 chickens were fed on diets with XTRACT®, containing capsaicin, carvacrol and 330 cinnamaldehyde (Jamroz et al, 2003). Dietary yarrow herb supplements fed either singly or 331 in combination with St. John's wort have enhanced organoleptic perception in broiler chicken 332 meat (Fritz et al, 1993…”

1. Herbs, thyme essential oil (EO) and condensed tannin (CT) extracts were 1 compared for their effects, as dietary supplements, on broiler growth performance, nutrient 2 digestibility and volatile fatty acid (VFA) profiles in the gut. Cooked meat from the birds fed 3 on diets with 4 herbs and an EO extract was compared by a taste panel against those fed on 4 the control treatment, for organoleptic properties in the meat. 5 2. Female broiler chicks were fed on wheat-soybean meal diets from 0-42 d of age. These 6 chicks were given either the basal diet (control), or the basal diet with one of rosemary, garlic 7 or yarrow herbs, mimosa, cranberry or grapeseed CT's, or thyme EO supplements (8 8 treatments in total). Body weight (BW) and feed consumption (FC) were measured. 9 3. The garlic supplement tended to improve growth rate over the first 7 d, while mimosa CT 10 and thyme EO supplements reduced weight gains. The mimosa supplement in diets 11 significantly reduced FC to d 21. Meanwhile, the addition of a cranberry supplement reduced 12 the digestibility of DM, OM and N, compared with the controls. Dietary thyme EO, yarrow, 13 rosemary and garlic supplements significantly modified caecal isovaleric and isobutyric acid 14 proportions, but not other VFA. Dietary herb supplements significantly affected the intensity 15 of meat flavour, and the potential of observing both garlic and abnormal flavours. There were 16 large differences between the consumption of red and white meat samples, while meat 17 temperature affected several flavour attributes. 18 4. Broiler performance and digestibility for birds given dietary garlic and grapeseed CT 19 supplements were similar to the controls, and these supplements appear suitable for dietary 20 inclusion. Careful choices are necessary when selecting dietary plant extract supplements for 21 broilers, but beneficial effects can be observed. 22

“…Wilman & Derrick (1994) found 1.94% and Kirchner (1955) more than 2% N in dandelion at similar harvest dates in Aberystwyth and Hohenheim, respectively. Crude protein contents of 11% have been reported for yarrow (Fritz et al, 1993). These data suggest that the forbs themselves suffered nitrogen deficiency.…”

Competitive and Soil Fertility Effects of Forbs and Legumes as Companion Plants or Living Mulch in Wide Spaced Organically Grown Cereals

Effects of forbs and legumes intercropped with organically grown winter cereals on plant productivity and fertility related soil parameters were detennined. Yarrow (Achillea millefolium), cornflower (Centaurea cyanus), chamomile (Matricaria recutita), dandelion (Taraxacum officina/e), white clover (Trifolium repens) and subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum) were established between wide spaced cereal rows as companion plants or as perennial living mulch, where cereals were sown into rotovated bands. Cornflower and chamomile had significant competitive effects already in their first year after sowing. Yarrow and dandelion, established as living mulch in an earlier growing season, were severe nitrogen competitors, in spite of low productivity in the case of dandelion. White clover living mulch was a more moderate, but still significant competitor. Nitrogen content of cereal plant material was higher in these plots and the clover steadily increased the total plot productivity by contributed nitrogen. Ammonium was the dominant form of mineral nitrogen in soils covered by plants. Performance of the systems was heavily dependent upon nitrogen relationships. This must be taken into consideration in attempts to manage biodiversity in organic plant production.

“…The natural materials as alternative growth promoters such as medicinal plants are widely accepted (Noland 1965 andAboul-Fotouh et al, 1999). Also, some studies indicated that such plants have favorable effects on live weight gain and feed efficiency with broiler chicken (Fritz et al, 1992 andFritz et al, 1993) and with cows (Singh and Taparia, 1992).…”

total number of 42 growing crossbred rabbits of both sexes at 6 weeks of age (with an average body weight 750±50g) were randomly divided into 7 equal groups to evaluate the growth performance as affected by medicinal plant wastes. Rabbits were fed control (AH) diet and 6 experimental diets contained the wastes of moringa (M), cassava (C) and tartofa (T) hay meal at two levels (10 and 15%) for each for a period of 8 weeks. Digestibility of nutrients and nitrogen balance were also evaluated. The results obtained showed that chemical composition of moringa hay meal (M), cassava hay meal (C), tartofa hay meal (T) and alfalfa hay (AH) were; DM 93, 91, 87 and 92% for M, C, T and AH, respectively. The corresponding values of OM were 89, 90.8, 91.25 and 84.42%. The hays of the medicinal plant wastes had less CP than AH being 7.63, 7.7, 6.75 vs. 17.51%. Moringa hay contains more CF (20.75%) than both cassava (10.18%) and tartofa (7.15%); alfalfa hay, however, contains the highest value of CF (24.1%). The proximate analysis of the experimental diets showed iso-caloric and almost iso-nitrogenous values of these diets. No significant differences on average body weight. Total body weight gain was
