“…In this study, dietary CT and/or CS had no significant (P > 0.05) effect on the jejunal and duodenal VH of experimental chickens. This suggests that dietary CT and CS did not trigger programmed cell death, and this agreed with the findings of Nuengjamnong and Angkanaporn (2018) from a study in broiler chickens. This agreement may be due to the similarity in the physicochemical properties of CS used in both studies.…”

“…Also, according to Meibom et al (2005) chitin or its derivatives was reported to influence the expression of 41 genes of Vibrio cholera. Dietary chitin (CT), a β-(1–4)-N- acetyl-d-glucosamine, and chitosan ( CS ), a β-(1–4)- linked d-glucosamine isolated from crustacean, are known to affect growth performance of broiler chickens (Kobayashi et al, 1996; Nuengjamnong and Angkanaporn, 2018), however, their mechanism of action is still a topic of concern. There is a gross dearth of information on the effect of dietary CT and CS on the gut morphology, mRNA expression of intestinal nutrient transporters and growth hormone (GH) in broiler chickens.…”

Growth hormones (GH) alone does not explain the growth rate in the chicken as growth in an animal is multi-factorial. Normal morphology of the intestinal villus and crypt, with adequate regulation of intestinal nutrient transporters, is essential to a healthy gut. Nutrition plays a significant role in gut health management, but information on the effect of dietary chitin and chitosan on gut morphology, gene expression of nutrient transporter, and serum levels of GH in broiler chickens is scanty. Thus, this study aimed at evaluating the comparative effect of dietary chitin and chitosan from cricket and shrimp on the small intestinal morphology, relative gene expression of intestinal nutrient transporters and serum level of GH in the broiler. A total of 150 day-old male Cobb500 broiler chicks were randomly allotted to one of the five treatment groups (n = 30). Treatment 1 was fed basal diet only, treatments 2 to 5 were fed a basal diet with 0.5 g cricket chitin, cricket chitosan, shrimp chitin, and shrimp chitosan, respectively, per kg diet. At days 21 and 42, duodenal and jejunal samples were assessed for structural morphology and jejunum for the relative gene expression of PepT1, EAAT3, SGLT1, and SGLT5 using quantitative real-time PCR. Results bared that dietary cricket chitosan and shrimp chitosan significantly (P < 0.05) improved jejunal villus height and reduced crypt depth without improving the body weight (BW). The gut morphology of birds under cricket chitin was poor and significantly (P < 0.05) different from other treated groups. Both the dietary chitin and chitosan at day 21 and only dietary chitosan at day 42 significantly (P < 0.05) down-regulated the relative mRNA expression of PepT1, EAAT3, SGLT1, and SGLT5 of broiler chickens. Treated groups differ non-significantly at both phases, while cricket chitin numerically increased the relative expression of PepT1, EAAT3, and SGLT1. Therefore, the potential of cricket chitin to improve BW and to up-regulate nutrient transporters is worthy of further exploration.

“…Our results showed that the nano-chitosan-added diets had no effect on serum cholesterol and triglyceride of broilerscompared with the control group. The results obtained agree with those reported by Nuengjamnong and Angkanaporn (2017) who found that feeding the broiler chicks on chitosan-supplemented diet had no effect on serum cholesterol and triglyceride.…”

his study was carried out to evaluate the impacts of inclusion of two plant proteins (soybean meal or rocket meal) in the starter and growing -finishing diets fed with / without nano-chitosan for 500 one-day old broiler chicks on growth performance and serum parameters as well as expression patterns of target genes (PPARα,PPARγ and IGF-1) in liver tissue. A total of 220 chicks were randomly distributed into four treatment (five replications, each), and housed in a floor pen under hygienic conditions. The results indicated that birds fed 7.5% rocket seed meal (RSM) exhibited the best means of FBW, BWG and FCR. While, least feed intake with higher FBW and BWG was found in nano-chitosan fed birds. RSM fed chicks had a significant decrease in serum levels of TG, LDL, total lipids, AST and ALT with insignificant changes in serum albumin, total Cholesterol and HDL compared with the control group. Furthermore, significant increases in serum levels of IgG, IgM, IgA, CAT, TAC, SOD, T3, T4 and FSH were found in RSM fed birds as compared to the control group. Insignificant differences were noted in the fold changes of gene expression among the different experimental groups of chicks with regard toIGF-I and PPARα genes, but the RSM-diet insignificantly increased in the transcript level of the IGF-I gene and improved the IGF-1 gene expression. Our findings declared that RSM can be used in chicks diet up to 7.5 % singly or in combination with nano-chitosan without any adverse effect on performance, blood parameters and related gene expression in broiler chicks.

“…The increment in fresh and dry biomass could be associated with the increment in plant growth and development. On the other hand, previous researchers had confirmed the growth enhancement of chitosan on several crops (Anusuya and Sathiyabama, 2016;Yan et al 2017;Nuengjamnong and Angkanaporn, 2018). Hence, increment in fresh and dry leaf yield could be a great contribution to the farmers.…”

Sweet basil is one of the popular herbs that contains various types of antioxidants and is widely used in pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic industries. Although sweet basil is considered as an easy and fast-growing herb, yet, the production is still insufficient to cater to the rising demand. Thus, the aim of this study is to increase biomass of sweet basil by the application of chitosan at different timing. The experiment was arranged in Randomized Complete Block Design with four replications. Plants were treated with different concentrations of chitosan (0, 2, 4 and 6 ml/L) at three different times of application (20, 40 and 20+40 days after transplanting), and kept for 60 days under open field. Data was analysed by using Statistical Analysis Software (version 9.4), Analysis of Variance was used and means were separated using Least Significant Differences. Based on the findings, all treated plants showed greater value compared to the control treatment. Among the treatments, it was found that plants treated with 4 ml/L at 20 days after transplanting performed the best where the plants reached highest stem fresh weight (44.59 g/plant), root dry weight (2.83 g/plant), leaf fresh weight (54.28 g/plant) and leaf dry weight (8.80 g/plant). The yield was higher than control treatment at 43.45% and 59.71% based on its leaf fresh weight and leaf dry weight, respectively. Therefore, it is recommended for sweet basil to be treated with 4 ml/L at 20 days after transplanting. Besides, more details study on compound profiling and its fraction from sweet basil leaf extract can be conducted in the future.
