“…Dietary inclusion of nettle ( Urtica dioica ), with high amount of carvacrol, reduced the incidence of ascites mortality in broiler chickens reared at high altitude (Ahmadipour & Khajali, 2019). Ethanol extract of elecampane ( Inula helenium L.) rhizome (rich source of sesquiterpenes) has shown to attenuate ascites syndrome in broiler chickens (Abolfathi et al., 2021). Root extract of Prosopis farcta (rich source of flavonoids) has shown the potential to reduce the occurrence of ascites in broiler chickens (Shirzadi et al., 2020).…”

This review covers the challenges of broiler chickens at high altitude, with the focus on growth performance and physiological response. The review also sheds light on nutritional and management interventions that help overcome the challenges raised at high altitude. Reduced concentration of atmospheric oxygen is by far the biggest challenge that remarkably affect growth performance and livability of broiler chickens reared in high altitude area. Broiler chickens have endured intensive genetic selection, which potentially predispose them to several metabolic disorders. Hypoxia is an overriding factor that may increase the incidence of metabolic disorders, mainly ascites syndrome at high altitude. Commercial broiler strains cannot fully achieve their genetic potential when raising at highland regions. Careful nutrition and management considerations are required to prevent metabolic disorders when raising broilers at high altitude. In ovo or in‐feed nutraceuticals such as l‐carnitine and guanidinoacetic acid as well as pharmaceuticals, texture of feed and the use of proper sources and levels of dietary energy and protein are important factors that need to be carefully considered for rearing broiler chickens at high altitude. Management strategies such as lighting programs have been shown to be effective to circumvent ascites prevalence. Special breeding programs may also be considered to develop strains with resistance to ascites.

“…The rich pool of bioactive compounds in wild celery (Kelussia odoratissima) have been shown to exert strong suppression on pulmonary hypertension and ascites in broiler chicken (Ahmadipour et al 2015). The ethanol extract of elecampane (Inula helenium L.) rhizome, rich in sesquiterpenes, and root extract of Prosopis farcta, rich in flavonoids, have prevented ascites in broiler chicken (Abolfathi et al 2021). The supplementation of purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) powder, rich in phenolic alkaloids and alpha-linolenic acid, has reduced the incidence of ascites in broiler chicken with improved antioxidant status (Habibian et al 2017;Shirzadi et al 2020).…”

High growth rates in poultry made them susceptible to various metabolic problems like ascites. The literature has strongly correlated higher metabolic rates with ascites problem in broiler chicken. The workload on the heart and the oxygen demand of the body becomes higher as the growth rate increases. The modern chicken has been genetically selected for higher growth rates, metabolism, and increased feed efficiency which requires more nutrients as well as oxygen. This study assessed the influence of a propriety formulation, Ascitox – Q10, on the winter ascites and the consequent livability and growth performance of broiler chicken. The mortality was divided into two stages; M1 (mortality up to 15 days of age) and M2 (mortality after 15 days). The results revealed significantly lower M1 (p<0.05), M2, and overall mortality (p<0.01) in Ascitox supplemented birds compared to control birds. However, the extent of influence of Ascitox was more pronounced on M2 mortality compared to M1 mortality. There was no strain effect on the mortality pattern of birds across different farms under study. In general the farms under study were characterized by spells of sudden deaths overnight. The average weight gain of birds was significantly (p<0.01) higher in Ascitox supplemented birds compared to control birds with no significant effect on their feed intake. However, numerically feed intake of control birds was more than the Ascitox supplemented birds which has led to significantly lower (P<0.01) FCR of Ascitox supplemented birds. In conclusion the supplementation of Ascitox – Q10 is a fruitful nutritional intervention which has controlled the ascites induced mortality in broiler chicken with improved growth performance at commercial farms.

This article reflects the results of a study of the content of vitamins, polyphenols, antioxidants in medicinal raw materials of local origin (licorice root, St. rose hips, flax seeds) in order to study their beneficial properties as a component for marmalade products that have an immunostimulating effect. According to laboratory studies, the largest amount of polyphenols is found in the leaves of sea buckthorn and St. John's wort (60.02% and 12.82%, respectively), antioxidants (3.61 mg / 100 g and 2.49 mg / 100 g) and most of the B vitamins (В₂ in sea buckthorn leaves 0.777 mg / 100 g, and in St. John's wort 0.088 mg / 100 g, В₅ - 1.506 mg / 100 g and 0.061 mg / 100 g, respectively, В₆ - 0.680 mg / 100 g in sea buckthorn leaves and 0.427 mg / 100 g in St. John's wort). A high content of vitamin C was found in rose hips (4.355 mg / 100g) and St. John's wort (4.314 mg / 100g). In the leaves of sea buckthorn, the content of ascorbic acid is 1.409 mg / 100 g, which is 67% less compared to St. John's wort. In this regard, it follows that the most promising raw materials for imparting an immunostimulating effect to marmalade confectionery products are sea buckthorn leaves and St. John's wort.
