Effects of dietary supplementation with Ampelopsis grossedentata extract on production performance and body health of hens

Effect of Dietary Paeoniae Radix Alba Extract on the Growth Performance, Nutrient Digestibility and Metabolism, Serum Biochemistry, and Small Intestine Histomorphology of Raccoon Dog During the Growing Period

“…Research ( 53 ) has shown that resveratrol increased the ratio of villus height to crypt depth, increased the number of goblet cells, and reduced the histopathological damage of jejunum of ducks caused by acute heat stress. Dietary supplementation with Ampelopsis grossedentata extract facilitated nutrient adsorption in hens via intestinal histology changes for the reason that the villus height in duodenum and villus height to crypt depth ratio in duodenum and jejunum of A. grossedentata extract group was significantly higher than that of basal diet group ( 54 ). Piglets from Forsythia suspensa extract-fed sows had higher villus height in the ileum, and villus height to crypt depth ratio in jejunum and crypt depth in ileum compared with those from sows fed a control diet ( 55 ).…”

Effect of dietary supplementation Ampelopsis grossedentata extract on growth performance and muscle nutrition of Megalobrama hoffmanni by gut bacterial mediation

“…It is well known that medical plants inclusion active compounds contribute to growth performance enhancement in aquaculture [ 29 ], such as dietary supplementation with Panax notoginseng extract [ 30 ], Origanum majorana extract [ 31 ], and Crataegus monogyna extract [ 32 ] can significantly elevate the growth performance of Epinepheluss pp., Cyprinus carpio , and Trachinotus ovatus , respectively. As a traditional Chinese health food, A. grossedentata had been applied in poultry field and exhibited a good potential of laying performance promoting [ 23 ]. However, literature regarding the effect of A. grossedentata extract application in aquaculture is still scanty.…”

“…Since A . grossedentata extract had been certified to stimulate immune response in hens of our previous work [ 23 ], the immunoglobulins indexes of M. hoffmanni was therefore monitored, together with interleukins indexes. Overall, elevation in both immunoglobulins and interleukins indexes were determined in this study, suggesting dietary supplementation A .…”

“…The content of the characteristic compound DMY in A . grossedentata extract was analyzed based on previously described method [ 23 ].…”

“…), generally known as “Tengcha” in China, is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine and has been used as tea for hundreds years [ 22 ]. Since 2018, the leaf of A. grossedentata is promulgated as feed material in China and the extract of A. grossedentata leaf has been applied in the poultry [ 23 ] as well as livestock science [ 24 ]. Simultaneously, previous evidence has reported that the extract of A. grossedentata could enhance the anti-oxidative capacity and alleviate intestinal inflammation of model animals, such as mice and drosophila [ 25 ], certifying A. grossedentata extract may serve as a valuable dietary supplement.…”
