“…Amongst different immuno-stimulants, medicinal herbs incorporate chemical component that improve immunity, antioxidant capacity, enhance gut microbitoa and health as well as reduce the oxidative/inflammation pathways ( Yang et al, 2021 ; Reith et al, 2022 ), making the animal more resistant to external stressors ( Al-Garadi et al, 2023 ; Saracila et al, 2023 ). The mode of action of medicinal plants on heat-stressed broilers can be one of the following: 1) stimulating health state by improving the antioxidant system which can directly remove ROS produced as a result of stress (Abo Ghanima et al, 2023 ), and 2) MPs can also activate antioxidant enzymes and constrain pro-oxidant enzymes, supporting the health status of broiler exposed to HS.…”

“…When 100 mg/L chicory extract was added to the water of heat‐stressed broilers, an improvement was recorded in their weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio (Yazdkhasti et al, 2018). Also, Abo Ghanima, Aljahdali, Abduljadayel, Shafi, Qadhi and Abd El‐Hack (2023) reported that administering chicory extract at 3 g/kg increased body weight, weight gain, reduced feed intake, FCR and mortality. In addition, the findings of Abo Ghanima, Aljahdali, Abduljadayel, Shafi, Qadhi, Abd El‐Hack and Mohamed (2023) revealed significant reductions in MDA, Catalase, GRP, SAA and TRF in broiler chickens fed chicory extracts.…”

The increase in global temperature and consumers' welfare has increased the use of phytogenic feed additives (PFA) to mitigate the negative effects of heat stress on chickens in recent years. Various bioactive compounds capable of improving the thermotolerance of broiler chickens during exposure to thermal challenges have been identified in different plant species and parts. This review is an overview of the roles of bioactive compounds of different PFA, such as polyphenols and flavonoids, antioxidants, growth‐promoting and immune‐modulating agents, in heat stress management in broiler chickens. Common PFA in use, particularly in tropical environments, are also discussed. An understanding of the roles of the PFA in chickens' thermotolerance could further stimulate interest in their use, thereby improving the birds' productivity and addressing consumers' concerns. This review collates the existing data on the roles of herbs in mitigating heat stress on chickens and highlights future research perspectives.

“…Some EO have improved the immune system of chickens, which can help reduce the incidence of disease under heat stress conditions ( Perini et al, 2020 ; Ruff et al, 2021 ; Yilmaz and Gul, 2023b ; Jahja et al, 2023 ). Furthermore, certain EO can modulate the expression of genes related to stress response and immune function, which may contribute to their beneficial effects on chicken health ( Abo Ghanima et al, 2023 ; Ding et al, 2023 ; Wu et al, 2023 ). Hence, the purpose of the present study was to confirm and extend previous research conducted in our laboratory with the EO of Lippia origanoides and betaine from an herbal extract on performance, intestinal integrity, bone mineralization, and meat quality in broiler chickens subjected to cyclic heat stress.…”

Essential oils (EO) affect performance, intestinal integrity, bone mineralization, and meat quality in broiler chickens subjected to cyclic heat stress (HS). Day-of-hatch Cobb 500 male broiler chicks (n = 475) were randomly divided into four groups. Group 1: No heat stress (Thermoneutral) + control diets with no antibiotics; Group 2: heat stress control + control diets; Group 3: heat stress + control diets supplemented with thymol chemotype (45 ppm) and herbal betaine (150 ppm) formulation EO1; Group 4: heat stress + control diets supplemented with phellandrene (45 ppm) and herbal betaine (150 ppm) formulation EO2. From day 10–42, the heat stress groups were exposed to cyclic HS at 35°C for 12 h (8:00–20:00). BW, BWG, FI, and FCRc were measured at d 0, 10, 28, and 42. Chickens were orally gavaged with FITC-d on days 10 (before heat stress) and 42. Morphometric analysis of duodenum and ileum samples and bone mineralization of tibias were done. Meat quality was assessed on day 43 with ten chickens per pen per treatment. Heat stress reduced BW by day 28 (p < 0.05) compared to thermoneutral chickens. At the end of the trial, chickens that received both formulations of EO1 and EO2 had significantly higher BW than HS control chickens. A similar trend was observed for BWG. FCRc was impaired by EO2 supplementation. There was a significant increase in total mortality in EO2 compared with EO1 EO1 chickens had lower FITC-d concentrations at day 42 than the HS control. In addition, EO1 treatment is not statistically different if compared to EO2 and thermoneutral. Control HS broilers had significantly lower tibia breaking strength and total ash at day 42 than heat-stressed chickens supplemented with EO1 and EO2. Heat stress affected intestinal morphology more than thermoneutral chickens. EO1 and EO2 improved intestinal morphology in heat-stressed chickens. Woody breast and white striping were more common in thermoneutral chickens than heat stress chickens. In conclusion, the EO-containing diet could improve broiler chicken growth during cyclic heat stress, becoming increasingly relevant in antibiotic-free production in harsh climates.
