“…The utilization of plants for various purposes has been identified by several authors, as a source of raw materials for pharmaceuticals, food, and other industries. Alagbe et al [7] reported that there are more than 250,000 medicinal plants worldwide, of which 21,000 are listed and I. tinctoria is one of the lesser-known medicinal plants. Aside from the medicinal use of I. tinctoria and other Indigofera species contain precursors of indigo dye compounds.…”

Pollution in aquatic ecosystems by various pollutants has been a concern in recent decades because of the devastating effect posed on the stability between the receiving water bodies and the biodiversity therein. Indigofera tinctoria has been used in a variety of fields, including health and medicine, as well as industrial applications such as textiles. The impacts of I. tinctoria on freshwater fishes, as well as the mechanisms underlying the biological effects, are, however, sparse. The goal of the study was to see how I. tinctoria affected Nile Tilapia (O. niloticus) juveniles' oxidative stress response, biochemical indicators, DNA disintegration, and protein profile. For 21 days, 6 varying concentrations were applied to the fish, including a control. The biochemical parameters in the test fish revealed a considerable variation in a dose-response manner. In I. tinctoria treated fish, the enzyme activity, when compared with control treatment, lipid peroxidation, DNA fragmentation, and oxidative stress all increased relative to the toxicant doses used. The protein profiling revealed a modification in the protein credentials in I. tinctoria-treated fish when compared to the control. As per the study, I. tinctoria is toxic to O. niloticus, particularly at higher doses. The results of this research could be applied to biomonitoring studies of I. tinctorial toxicity, particularly in industrial applications. HIGHLIGHTS Pollution in aquatic ecosystems is a concern due to its impact on biodiversity Indigofera tinctoria, locally used as fabric dye was studied for its effects on Nile Tilapia juveniles Study finds I. tinctoria toxic, causing oxidative stress and DNA fragmentation, potentially affecting niloticus' muscle protein expression GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

“…The essential oils produced by phytogenic plants as a result of their secondary metabolism are commonly employed to enhance the shelf life of foods (Adam et al, 1998). Many studies have underlined the need of selecting appropriate herbs, active components, and effective dietary dosages for these substances' suitability in influencing bird performance (Alagbe, 2018;Ncube et al, 2018;Aderemiet al, 2018;Rahman and Yang, 2018;Sebolaet al, 2019;Oloruntolaet al, 2019;Abdul Basit et al, 2020;Diarra and Anand, 2020;Guliza and Downs, 2020;Abdelattyet al, 2021;Ogwuegbuet al, 2021). Laurel leaves, which come from the bay laurel plant and are high in bioactive components, are one of these phytogenic feed additives.…”

The purpose of this study was conducted to evaluated the effects of bay laurel (Laurus nobilis L.) leaves powder (LLP) on performance, thigh and breast meat lipid oxidation and chemical composition, body components, digestive tract parts and some blood parameters in broiler chickens. A total of 144 d-old mix-sexed chicks were weighed and randomly assigned to four experimental groups with three replicates of 12 chicks (6 ♀and 6 ♂) each. Treatments were as follows: (i) basal diet-no additive (control), (ii) basal diet+1000 mg/kg LLP, (iii) basal diet+5000 mg/kg LLP and (iv) basal diet+10000 mg/kg LLP. The results revealed that over entire the experimental period body weight and body weight gain increased by LLP supplementation (P<0.01). Feed intake of birds enhanced (P<0.05) whilst feed conversion ratio and chemical composition thigh meat were not significant affected by LLP concentration (P>0.05). Liver improved with 10000 mg/kg LLP (P<0.001) and the weight of ileum + jejunum improved with 5000 and 10000 mg/kg LLP (P<0.01). Breast dry matter (P<0.05), glucose (P<0.05) and with LLP treatment, the TBARS values of breast and thigh meat decreased (P<0.001). As a result, LLP supplementation in broiler diets can be advised because it lowers lipid oxidation in the meat.

“…Moreover, a correlation between some of the components and diverse stimulatory effects on the digestive system and digestive enzyme production has been detected (Vinus et al., 2018 ). Medicinal plant components also have been proved to exhibit anti‐parasitic (Gohel et al., 2019 ), antiviral (Alagbe et al., 2018 ), antioxygenic, anti‐mycotic (Abed et al., 2021 ) and insecticidal effects.…”

Background Avian coccidiosis is thought to be one of the most expensive infectious diseases in the poultry industry. Objectives Safe and alternative anti‐coccidial drugs are herbal extracts because they do not result in tissue residue and drug resistance. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the anti‐coccidial effect of the herbal mixture, a complex of two plants (Echinacea purpurea, Glycyrrhiza glabra) in broiler chickens in comparison with toltrazuril. Methods One hundred twenty broiler chickens were used in this experiment and divided into 4 equally numbered groups. All the groups, except Group D, were experimentally infected with mixed Eimeria spp. (E. Tenella, E. maxima, E. necatrix and E. brunetti) on day 14. Group A treated with an herbal mixture [Glycyrrhiza glabra Extract 5% (standardised to 5.4% glycyrrhizic acid) and Echinacea purpurea Extract 2% (standardised to 4% total phenolic content based on chlorogenic acid); Coxinin‐EC®; Shamim Teb Sepid Giti]. Group B treated with toltrazuril. Group C was experimentally infected with mixed Eimeria spp. but they did not have any treatment, this group was our positive control. Performance indices, faecal oocyst excretion, and intestinal lesion score were determined during the experiment. Results Positive control group had the poorest results and more mortality than other groups. Group D was not infected and was healthy all the experiment period. Treatment with herbal complex significantly reduced the negative performance and pathogenic effects associated with Eimeria spp. at a level that was comparable with toltrazuril. Conclusions In summary, the anti‐coccidial activity of the studied herbal complex suggests its use as an alternative anti‐coccidial agent to chemotherapeutic drugs for controlling coccidiosis in poultry. Highlights ‐Coccidiosis is an important infectious disease that causes serious financial loss to the poultry industry. ‐Chemical anti‐coccidial drugs and vaccines are the main control strategies to combat the disease. However, these tools have some constraints. ‐Herbal remedies are suitable alternatives to chemical compounds for control of losses associated with coccidiosis in poultry. ‐An herbal mixture (Echinacea purpurea, Glycyrrhiza glabra) has promising effects for controlling of coccidiosis in broiler chickens.
