“…Furthermore, antibacterial action of amla on gram-negative bacteria and favourable effects on grampositive bacteria enhance the production of lactic acid by lactobacilli in the gut, which reduces the pH in the intestine, inhibiting coliform colonization and tissue sloughing. This results in a favourable environment for short-chain fatty acid production by lactobacilli, enhancing intestinal villi growth and nutrient absorption [13]. Based on the above findings, it can be concluded that amla fruit powder may be used as a feed supplement to mitigate the harmful effects of heat stress on broilers.…”

“…This results in a lower pH in the intestine, which prevents Coliforms from colonizing the intestinal mucosa, leading to decreased tissue sloughing due to their reduced toxin production. A favourable environment is created due to the production of short-chain fatty acids by lactobacilli, leading to the effective migration of enterocytes along the tip of villi, resulting in enhanced growth of intestinal villi and improved nutrient absorption and utilization [13]. Since, amla fruit has antimicrobial, anti-stress and antioxidant properties as well as it is rich source of vitamin C, phytochemicals like tanins, saponins, alkaloids, and flavonoids.…”

Heat stress is a significant environmental challenge that impairs broiler production, negatively impacting growth, feed intake, nutrient absorption, and gut ecology. Various methods exist to mitigate heat stress such as genetic and nutritional approaches, air conditioning, ventilation, and antibiotic growth promoters but they are often expensive and not always adequate. Keeping this view in mind, research has been focused on medicinal herbs which are available, cheap and safer to use. Amla fruit possesses antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-stress properties that could mitigate heat stress’s harmful effects on broilers. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the impact of amla fruit powder on growth performance, gut microbiota and blood lipid profile of broilers under ambient temperature and heat stressed condition. A total of 126 broiler chicks were divided into two major groups, one group kept under ambient temperature and another group exposed to heat stress. Each major group was split into 3 subgroups with 3 replications having 7 chicks per replication. In case of each major groups, first sub groups were kept as a control and latter two groups were supplemented with 0.5% and 1.0% amla fruit powder, respectively. Total duration of the experiment was 35 days, where treatments were given with basal diet from 12 days. All the experiment birds were maintained with the similar management except the experimental diets. The results showed that body weight and body weight gain at the end of the experiment were higher in amla treated group than in the control group at both temperatures. Supplementation of amla fruit powder also improved feed conversion ratio (FCR) and dressing percentage than the control groups. Additionally, amla powder reduced TC, TAG and LDL levels and slightly increased HDL content. Amla fruit powder decreased pathogenic bacterial population such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp. concentration in the gut and increased probiotic bacterial concentration such as Lactobacillus spp. under both rearing temperatures. Taken together, it can be concluded that, amla fruit powder could be used as an alternative tool to improve broiler performance and mitigate the deleterious effects of heat stress on broiler chickens.

“…Rajput et al (2013) had reported that villus height was significantly (P<0.05) increased in duodenum, jejunum and ileum in curcumin supplemented broilers. In another study, basal diet supplemented with amla fruit powder at the rate of 0.25 per cent, 0.50 per cent, 0.75 per cent and 1 per cent, respectively increased the villi height and significant (P< 0.05) increm ent was observed in one per c ent supplementation (Dalal et al, 2018). Increased intestinal villi height and the ratio of villi height to crypt depth is an indication of the vast area for nutrient absorption and higher absorption function (Sieo et al, 2005).…”

Background: In broiler production, antibiotics are used to prevent/control infectious diseases and as a growth promoter. The incorrect application of antibiotics increases the risk of residues in chicken tissues. In human’s continuous exposure of antibiotic residue containing meat results antimicrobial resistance. So the demand towards antibiotic free meat is increasing. In this condition studies related with alternatives to antibiotic feeding in broilers gaining importance. Among the alternatives, phytogenic feed additives have antimicrobial and growth promoting effect without causing side effects to the birds. The current study aimed to evaluate two different phytobiotic mixtures on production performance and gut health in broilers. Methods: The study of six weeks duration was carried out between the months of July and August, 2019, at Poultry Farm Complex, Department of Poultry Science, Veterinary College and Research Institute, Namakkal, Tamil Nadu, which falls in the North-Western agro climatic zone of the state. 150 day old chicks (vencobb) used to evaluate two different phytobiotic mixtures on production performance and gut health of birds. Result: Birds fed with phytobiotic mixture (II) - E. officinalis fruits + M. kenigii leaves + S. aromaticum buds (1:1:1) at 2 kg/ton of feed resulted in significant improvement in bodyweight, weight gain and lactobacillus count was observed. So this phytobiotic mixture recommended as alternative to antibiotic feed additive in broilers.
