Effects of curcumin on the growth performance, apparent nutrient digestibility, intestinal morphology, digestive enzyme activity, and antioxidant capacity of meat rabbits

The effects of herbal plant extract on the growth performance, blood parameters, nutrient digestibility and carcase quality of rabbits: A meta-analysis

“…Rabbits are more susceptible to death compared to other livestock, while temperature and environment are key factors when rearing them. The comfort zone for rabbits is 15°–20 °C [ 23 ]. Rabbits can become stressed at temperatures above the comfort zone which affects their physiological traits.…”

“…Certain herbs contain bioactive compounds for example, Moringa oleifera contains flavonoids, ascorbic acid, phenolic, and carotenoid substances which act as natural oxidants. Garlic provides allicin, which plays a role in reducing lipid peroxidation [ 23 ]. The mechanism of garlic begins by scavenging reactive oxygen through the amplification of intercellular oxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and catalase.…”

“…Furthermore, Kovitvadhi et al [ 21 ] used purple loosestrife, the active components of which offered the potential of better flavor, which directly increased consumption among farmed rabbits. Mohammed et al [ 23 ] noted that certain herbs led to a reduction in feed intake, which may indicate a pungent taste. Purple loosestrife thus provides substances known as pharmacokinetics that function as ant oxidative compounds.…”
