“…The results obtained in the present study confirmed the stimulating growth effect of the mixture of phyto- genics including carvacrol, cinnamaldehyde, and capsicum oleoresin, which was previously observed (Jamroz et al, 2003;Bravo et al, 2011Bravo et al, , 2014. In agreement with Jamroz et al (2005), better growth performance and feed efficiency were noted when the same product was added to a M but not to wheat.…”

“…Less attention has been paid to the effect of supplementary phytogenics on dietary available energy. Studies on the effect of phytogenics on dietary ME did not bring conclusive information, as some authors found an increase in dietary ME in response to plant extracts (Mountzouris et al, 2010;Bravo et al, 2011) and others (Juin et al, 2003;Cross et al, 2007) did not. A report by Bravo et al (2014) demonstrated that supplementary plant extracts improved dietary NE, although no significant changes in dietary ME were observed.…”

The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of a standardized mixture of a commercial blend of phytogenic feed additives containing 5% carvacrol, 3% cinnamaldehyde, and 2% capsicum on utilization of dietary energy and performance in broiler chickens. Four experimental diets were offered to the birds from 7 to 21 d of age. These included 2 basal control diets based on either wheat or maize that contained 215 g CP/kg and 12.13 MJ/kg ME and another 2 diets using the basal control diets supplemented with the plant extracts combination at 100 mg/kg diet. Each diet was fed to 16 individually penned birds following randomization. Dietary plant extracts improved feed intake and weight gain (P < 0.05) and slightly (P < 0.1) improved feed efficiency of birds fed the maize-based diet. Supplementary plant extracts did not change dietary ME (P > 0.05) but improved (P < 0.05) dietary NE by reducing the heat increment (P < 0.05) per kilogram feed intake. Feeding phytogenics improved (P < 0.05) total carcass energy retention and the efficiency of dietary ME for carcass energy retention. The number of interactions between type of diet and supplementary phytogenic feed additive suggest that the chemical composition and the energy to protein ratio of the diet may influence the efficiency of phytogenics when fed to chickens. The experiment showed that although supplementary phytogenic additives did not affect dietary ME, they caused a significant improvement in the utilization of dietary energy for carcass energy retention but this did not always relate to growth performance.

“…from 3,000 to 2,950 kcal/kg) whilst keeping CP level constant did not affect FI in broilers following PFA (i.e. 100 mg/kg) supplementation (Bravo et al, 2011). In addition, FI was not affected in two other studies whereby diets were kept isoenergetic but CP level was lowered by 3% (Kamran et al, 2004) and 4% (Corzo et al, 2005).…”

Phytogenic Administration and Reduction of Dietary Energy and Protein Levels Affects Growth Performance, Nutrient Digestibility and Antioxidant Status of Broilers

et al. 2016

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of reduced dietary energy (ME) and protein (CP) levels along with administration of a phytogenic feed additive (PFA) based on oregano, anise and citrus essential oils, on broiler growth performance, nutrient digestibility, meat and blood biochemical parameters and total antioxidant capacity (TAC).Depending on dietary ME and CP level down regulation compared to a corn-soybean meal basal diet A used as positive control, three diet types [A, B(＝A-3%) and C(＝A-6%)] were implemented. Depending on the inclusion or not of PFA at 125 mg/kg diet, 450 1-d old, male Cobb broilers were randomly allocated in six treatments according to a 3×2 factorial arrangement with 5 replicates of 15 broilers; A: diets formulated optimally to meet broiler nutrient requirements for maximizing protein content of meat for starter, grower and finisher growth periods; APh: A+PFA; B: suboptimal in ME and CP levels by 3%; BPh: B+PFA; C: suboptimal in ME and CP levels by 6%; CPh: C+PFA.Feed conversion ratio (FCR) was improved in birds fed diet A compared to diet C during the grower period (P D ＝ 0.021) and overall (P D ＝0.010). Phytogenic supplementation resulted in higher (P D×Ph ＝0.020) total tract apparent digestibility of fat in birds fed diet C compared to diet A. Birds fed diet A had higher (P D ＝0.001) plasma cholesterol, compared to birds fed diet C. In addition, birds fed diets A and B had higher (P D ＝0.002) breast protein content compared to C. Overall, PFA inclusion reduced cholesterol (P Ph ＝0.002) and increased plasma TAC (P Ph ＜0.001). Moreover, PFA increased breast (P Ph ＝0.001) and thigh (P Ph ＝0.01) TAC. In conclusion, a reduction in dietary ME and CP levels, adversely affected the FCR, whereas PFA supplementation tended (P Ph ＝0.089) to compensate these effects. Moreover, the addition of PFA reduced plasma cholesterol and improved plasma and meat TAC.

“…Al-Kassie et al (2011) described significant influence with red hot chili pepper added in feed (in 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75% and 1% concentration) on final weight and feed conversation ratio. Several authors (Bravo et al, 2011;Bravo et al, 2014) have confirmed the growth stimulating and feed efficiency effect of the mixture of carvacrol, cinnamaldehyde, and capsicum oleoresin. Bravo et al (2014) explained that the improvement in growth performance with dietary EO is likely a consequence of the increase in dietary net energy for production (NEp).…”

The ban on use of antibiotic growth promoter for fattening chickens has created demand for other weight and health promoting supplements. Phytogens, and especially essential oils (EO) or their components, have attracted great interest. They are considered 'natural' and leaving no unwanted tissue residue. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of XTRACT ® (carvacrol, cinnamaldehyde and capsicum oleoresin) and natural zeolite clinoptilolite as feed additives in broiler chicken. Addition of XTRACT ® and/or zeolite had positive influence at antioxidative enzymes SOD and GPx during chicken fattening. This indirectly resulted in higher final body weight of chicken. Lower lipid peroxidation in breast meat and drumsticks was also observed in experimental groups. The sensory quality of chicken breast meat and drumstick meat, expressed as color, structure, juiciness, tenderness, odor and taste acceptability was improved in experimental groups.
