“…Gopi et al (2020) found that adding 50 mg/kg polyphenol extract from pomegranate peels increased the productivity of broilers fed broken rice‐sorghum as a cereal source under heat stress. Mohamed et al (2015) reported a marked reduction in serum corticosterone concentration in broiler chickens exposed to thermal stress after their treatment with polyphenols obtained from Propolis. Particular attention was paid to willow bark broiler dietary supplements as a natural source of salicin, β‐O‐glucoside of saligenin, and polyphenols (flavonoids and condensed tannins) with potent antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory effects.…”

“…applied 0.2, 0.4 or 0.6 g resveratrol/kg feed for black-boned chickens and observed improvement of the growth parameters, lowered oxidative stress by increasing serum growth hormone levels and modulating thermal shock genes' expression in immune tissues.Likewise, polyphenol extract from Terminalia chebula and Punica granatum L. when supplied via oral gavage of the extract dissolved in distilled water at 0.15, 0.3 and 0.6 g/kg for 7 successive days for chickens challenged with Escherichia coli, revealed a reduction in the number of clinically diseased chickens and inflammatory reaction caused by E. coli, downregulated the activation of NF-κB signalling pathways, reversed the over gene expression of the Toll-like receptor 2, 4 and 5, and suppressed the stimulation of proinflammatory cytokines Gopi et al (2020). found that adding 50 mg/kg polyphenol extract from pomegranate peels increased the productivity of broilers fed broken rice-sorghum as a cereal source under heat stress Mohamed et al (2015). reported a marked reduction in serum corticosterone concentration in broiler chickens exposed to thermal stress after their treatment with polyphenols obtained from Propolis.Particular attention was paid to willow bark broiler dietary supplements as a natural source of salicin, β-O-glucoside of saligenin, and polyphenols (flavonoids and condensed tannins) with potent antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.…”

There has been a rapid increase in the world's output of main poultry products (meat and eggs). This reflects customer desire for these high‐quality and safe products and the comparatively low price. Recently, natural feed additives, plants and products have been increasingly popular in the poultry and livestock industries to maintain and improve their health and production. Polyphenols are a type of micronutrient that is plentiful in our diet. They are phytochemicals that have health benefits, notably cardiovascular, cognitive function, antioxidant, anti‐mutagenic, anti‐inflammatory, antistress, anti‐tumour, anti‐pathogen, detoxification, growth‐promoting and immunomodulating activities. On the other hand, excessive polyphenol levels have an unclear and sometimes negative impact on gastrointestinal tract health, nutrient digestion, digestive enzyme activity, vitamin, mineral absorption, laying hens performance and egg quality. As a result, this review illuminated polyphenols' various sources, classifications, biological activities, potential usage restrictions and effects on poultry, layer productivity and egg external and internal quality.

“…However, in countries like Ethiopia in recent years with the gradual emergence of cattle fattening and poultry operations, corn has started to be used in greater quantities in livestock feed. Feed experimental studies conducted in Ethiopia also proved that the substitution of corn with sorghum up to 45% appear to be biologically better and not having any adverse effect on broiler performance (Mohamed et al 2015).…”

Sorghum in the 21st Century: Food – Fodder – Feed – Fuel for a Rapidly Changing World

A number of dynamic changes are taking place in the sorghum economies globally in the last two to three decades both in developed and developing regions where the crop is grown. In Asia, its use as a staple food crop is declining with a shift in consumption towards rice and wheat. Rising per capita incomes, urbanization, change in tastes and preferences are driving this change. However, at the same time, its demand in alternative uses like poultry feed and potable alcohol manufacture is growing. In recent years driven by the greater awareness of the health benefits of sorghum, there is also a growing demand for processed sorghum products particularly in India for ready to use and eat food products mainly in urban areas (from a low base). To sustain the change in the sorghum economies (plate to plough), there is a need to reorient the marketing system by linking farmers to the end users through innovative institutional arrangements. Policies should ensure sorghum competitiveness on farm and directly or indirectly promote its use in food processing and alternative non-food uses.In developed countries and in Latin American countries, sorghum is mainly used as feed but its use is fluctuating and variable depending on its price competitiveness and policies related to trade in feed crops. In the last one to two decades with governments mandating use of renewable fuels for blending with gasoline, sorghum along with maize are being used for ethanol production that has implications for the livestock sector. Policies related to ethanol production will have implication for sorghum production and trade.

“…New tannin-free sorghum The agropastoral farming system 129 cultivars have 95 to 97 per cent of the feed efficiency of maize (Tandiang et al 2014). Sorghum is associated with similar or superior chicken growth and egg production when replacing maize by up to 50 per cent in rations (Issa et al 2015;Mohamed et al 2015). Therefore substitution of maize by sorghum in poultry feed can be widely recommended and is already observed in Senegal and Mali (Sanders, pers.…”

Farming Systems and Food Security in Africa

2019

Knowledge of Africa's complex farming systems, set in their socio-economic and environmental context, is an essential ingredient to developing effective strategies for improving food and nutrition security.This book systematically and comprehensively describes the characteristics, trends, drivers of change and strategic priorities for each of Africa's fifteen farming systems and their main subsystems. It shows how a farming systems perspective can be used to identify pathways to household food security and poverty reduction, and how strategic interventions may need to differ from one farming system to another. In the analysis, emphasis is placed on understanding farming systems drivers of change, trends and strategic priorities for science and policy.Illustrated with full-colour maps and photographs throughout, the volume provides a comprehensive and insightful analysis of Africa's farming systems and pathways for the future to improve food and nutrition security. The book is an essential follow-up to the seminal work Farming Systems and Poverty by Dixon and colleagues for the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations and the World Bank, published in 2001.
