“…Karadağoğlu et al [24] reported no beneficial effect of water supplementation of an herbal blend (peppermint, thyme, and anise oil) on growth performance, meat quality and intestinal development of quails. However, Gültepe et al [17] reported a positive effect of lemon juice on the performance of older laying hens. Additionally, Çetingül et al [18] reported that providing pomegranate molasses in drinking water to laying hens had no major effect on egg quality after 30 days storage at 4°C, although it had some minor effects in earlier storage days.…”

“…Similarly, Ritzi et al [16] observed that probiotics as a water supplement had a better effect on broiler performance than the same probiotics provided by the diet. Gültepe et al [17] observed some positive effects of lemon juice as a water supplement on egg production during the late phase production cycle of laying hens. Furthermore, Çetingül et al [18] reported that supplementation of pomegranate molasses with drinking water to laying hens may affect some quality parameters in eggs after 30 days of storage.…”

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of myrtle plant extract (MPE) on performance, some blood parameters, egg quality and immune response of older laying hens. A total of 192 laying hens (67 weeks old; initial body weight 1.63±0.17 kg) were used in this study. The MPE was added to the water of the experimental groups (0%, 2.5%, 5.0%, or 10%) for 8 weeks. Liquid chromatography analyses showed that myricetin was the predominant active ingredient (15.34 mg/L) in MPE. In treatment groups, feed consumption, egg mass (P<0.05), egg production (P<0.01) increased (10% MPE) and water consumption ascended (5% MPE) compared to the control birds. Feed conversion ratio did not change. In 2.5% MPE group, greater egg weight (P<0.001) and darker egg yolk (P<0.01) were observed than the control birds. Regarding immunity, the 5% Myrtus group produced higher neutrophil and large amounts of IgG (P<0.05) indicating that significant results were also observed in the immunological response of laying hens vaccinated against the Newcastle virus. Serum alanine aminotransferase level increased (P<0.05) in treatment groups whereas serum glucose levels decreased significantly (P<0.01). Other than that, none of the blood parameters changed. It is concluded that Myrtus communis L. plant extract showed positive effects on the egg yolk, some performance parameters and immune system of older laying hens without any adverse effects on egg traits.

“…Nazok et al [ 23 ] found that the use of dietary DCP in the diets of laying hens at more than 16% increased blood serum HDL, while it decreased blood cholesterol, LDL, and triglyceride contents. The decrease in cholesterol levels may be attributed to the diminishing of HMG-CoA reductase activity, which is the main enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis [ 19 , 50 ]. The inhibition of this enzyme enhances LDL receptors and improves blood HDL levels [ 50 , 51 ].…”

Likewise, some suggestions proposed that hesperidin works as a cholesterol-lowering factor by reducing the hepatic activity of HMG-CoA reductase [ 50 ].…”

The current study aimed to demonstrate the effects of dietary dried orange pulp (DOP) on the laying performance, egg quality, antioxidant status, yolk fatty acid composition, serum biochemistry, and reproductive tract morphology of laying hens. A total of 200 Lohman Brown Lite laying hens were randomly allotted into 4 dietary treatments with 10 replicates each. The experimental treatment groups were the control group, a basal diet containing 50 g DOP/kg feed (DOP5%), a basal diet containing 70 g DOP/kg feed (DOP7%), and a basal diet containing 100 g DOP/kg feed (DOP10%). Data were statistically analyzed by one-way ANOVA following a completely randomized design, and the incremental levels of dietary DOP were tested by orthogonal polynomial contrasts. The body weight gain, feed intake, egg production%, egg weight, egg mass, and feed conversion ratio of laying hens fed the DOP7% and DOP10% diets were greater (p < 0.01) than those fed the control diet. Eggs obtained from the DOP7% and DOP10% groups had a heavier shell weight% and shell thickness, as well as a greater yolk color score (p < 0.01; linear, p < 0.01). Dietary DOP improved the egg yolk concentrations of PUFA, n-3 PUFA, and n-6 PUFA (linear, p < 0.001; quadratic, p < 0.05), whereas the content of SFA was reduced (p < 0.001; linear, p < 0.001). The egg yolk cholesterol and triglyceride levels were linearly decreased (p < 0.001) with the inclusion of DOP in the diets of hens. After storage for 40 days, the malondialdehyde (MDA) contents in the egg yolk were reduced, whereas the glutathione peroxidase content was increased (p < 0.01) due to dietary DOP. The DOP7% and DOP10% hens had an obvious reduction in the levels of serum total lipids, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein, and MDA, whereas high-density lipoprotein and GPx levels were increased (p < 0.01) compared with those fed the control diet. The relative weights of the ovary, oviduct, uterus, and follicle of hens receiving diets containing 7% and 10% DOP were heavier (p < 0.01) than those of the control hens. Moreover, the number of large yellow follicles was increased (p < 0.001; linear, p < 0.001) in the hens-fed diets containing 7% and 10% DOP. In conclusion, dietary DOP at up to 100 g/kg of feed improves laying performance, health status, antioxidant capacity, egg nutritive value, and egg shelf life in laying hens.

“…Several positive effects of dietary oregano plant materials have been reported on performance, gut morphology, health, immunity, and product quality in quails (Cetingul et al 2010, Rahman et al 2018). Gültepe et al (2019) observed some positive effects of lemon juice as a water supplement on egg production during the late phase production cycle of laying hens. Furthermore, Çetingül et al (2019) reported that supplementation of Pomegranate Molasses with drinking water to laying hens may affect some quality parameters in eggs after 30 days of storage.…”
