“…This is agreement with other studies where phytogenics increased antioxidative capacity of blood plasma (Goni et al, 2007;Zhang et al, 2009;Ciftci et al, 2010;Polat et al, 2011). Moreover, Hoffman-Pennesi and Wu (2010) evaluated antioxidative capacity with the ORAC assay and showed that thymol which is an isomer of carvacrol significantly increased the antioxidative status of broiler blood plasma.…”

Phytogenic Administration and Reduction of Dietary Energy and Protein Levels Affects Growth Performance, Nutrient Digestibility and Antioxidant Status of Broilers

et al. 2016

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of reduced dietary energy (ME) and protein (CP) levels along with administration of a phytogenic feed additive (PFA) based on oregano, anise and citrus essential oils, on broiler growth performance, nutrient digestibility, meat and blood biochemical parameters and total antioxidant capacity (TAC).Depending on dietary ME and CP level down regulation compared to a corn-soybean meal basal diet A used as positive control, three diet types [A, B(＝A-3%) and C(＝A-6%)] were implemented. Depending on the inclusion or not of PFA at 125 mg/kg diet, 450 1-d old, male Cobb broilers were randomly allocated in six treatments according to a 3×2 factorial arrangement with 5 replicates of 15 broilers; A: diets formulated optimally to meet broiler nutrient requirements for maximizing protein content of meat for starter, grower and finisher growth periods; APh: A+PFA; B: suboptimal in ME and CP levels by 3%; BPh: B+PFA; C: suboptimal in ME and CP levels by 6%; CPh: C+PFA.Feed conversion ratio (FCR) was improved in birds fed diet A compared to diet C during the grower period (P D ＝ 0.021) and overall (P D ＝0.010). Phytogenic supplementation resulted in higher (P D×Ph ＝0.020) total tract apparent digestibility of fat in birds fed diet C compared to diet A. Birds fed diet A had higher (P D ＝0.001) plasma cholesterol, compared to birds fed diet C. In addition, birds fed diets A and B had higher (P D ＝0.002) breast protein content compared to C. Overall, PFA inclusion reduced cholesterol (P Ph ＝0.002) and increased plasma TAC (P Ph ＜0.001). Moreover, PFA increased breast (P Ph ＝0.001) and thigh (P Ph ＝0.01) TAC. In conclusion, a reduction in dietary ME and CP levels, adversely affected the FCR, whereas PFA supplementation tended (P Ph ＝0.089) to compensate these effects. Moreover, the addition of PFA reduced plasma cholesterol and improved plasma and meat TAC.

Phytogenic Administration and Reduction of Dietary Energy and Protein Levels Affects Growth Performance, Nutrient Digestibility and Antioxidant Status of Broilers

“…Some studies have indicated that pulverised herbal extracts (such as turmeric, oregano, anise, cinnamon, garlic, citrus peel) could reduce the level of cholesterol in poultry (Toghyani et al 2011;Hong et al 2012). Plant extracts may affect cholesterol levels by action on the enzyme acylCoA-cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT), which esterifies cholesterol to its esters in tissues (Ciftci et al 2010). The effect of agrimony on the reduction of total cholesterol is probably the same as in other plants, the inhibition of a 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase activity.…”

The aim of our study was to determine the effects of supplementation of agrimony extract (Agrimonia eupatoria L.) and a combination of agrimony with sage extract (Salvia officinalis L.) to water during the fattening period of broiler chickens on selected biochemical and antioxidant indicators in blood, and on the nutritional composition and oxidative stability of meat. A total of 117 Cobb 500 chicks were randomly divided on the day of hatching into three groups (n = 39 in each) and fattened for 42 days. All groups were fed the same diets. In experimental group A water was supplemented with agrimony extract (0.2%). In experimental group AS water was supplemented with a combination of agrimony (0.1%) and sage (0.1%) extracts. Group C was control without supplementation. The total cholesterol, low density lipoproteins and malondialdehyde in serum were decreased (P < 0.05), dry matter and fat content in meat were increased (P < 0.05) in group A. The activity of superoxide dismutase in blood and the amount of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances in thigh meat on days 1 and 8 of storage under chilling conditions were lower (P < 0.05) in both experimental groups compared to control. Our results indicate that supplementation of agrimony and sage extract to water can beneficially influence the antioxidant status as well as oxidative stability of thigh meat and thus improve meat quality. This is a first similar study comparing addition of plant extracts to water in broiler nutrition.

“…Silybum marianum fruit extract has been reported to reduce the lipid concentration of the thigh muscle and to increase the muscle's resistance to oxidative stress in broilers (Schiavone et al, 2007). Ciftci et al (2010) reported that hypocholesterolemic and antioxidant characteristics of cinnamon oil are related to better quality of meat. Antioxidative activities of dietary phenolic sources such as oregano, rosemary, sage essential oil and grape pomace have been reported in broiler meat (Simitzis et al, 2008).…”

Effects of Rhus coriaria on nutrient composition, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and colour of thigh meat in heat-stressed broilers

et al. 2015

Heat stress negatively affects the meat quality in broiler chickens, as indicated by lipid peroxidation. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of 0.0, 2.5, 5.0 and 10 g sumac fruit powder/kg of the diet, along with 100 mg α-tocopherol acetate (AT)/kg as antioxidants, on meat characteristics of broilers under heat stress conditions. Consumption of 5.0 g sumac/kg decreased the thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) concentration in thigh meat. The thigh meat pH increased only as a result of AT consumption. Dietary inclusion of both AT and 10 g sumac/kg decreased the fat content of the meat. None of the meat colour indices, lightness (L*), redness (a*) and yellowness (b*), was affected by dietary treatments. It was concluded that dietary sumac consumption improved the TBARS and pH, and decreased thigh meat fat in broilers under heat stress.
