Evaluation of Capsicum frutescens powder effects on the growth performances, biochemical and hematological parameters in Hubbard broiler

Hot red pepper powder as a safe alternative to antibiotics in organic poultry feed: an updated review

“…However, Dougnon et al (2014) reported no significant difference in the final Bwt and average daily WG of broiler chicks on a diet supplemented with HRP at 0, 0.5, and 1.0% of the feed for 1 mo and at 0.5 and 1.0% of the feed for 2 mo. El-Amin et al (2015) observed that the WG of broiler chicks was significantly ( P < 0.05) higher on a diet supplemented with HRP at 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5% of feed or a basal diet with 16 mg/kg antibiotic (neomycin) than on the negative control basal diet with no antibiotic/HRP.…”

“…Many other researchers reported a significant ( P < 0.05) improvement of FCR in broilers using diets supplemented with HRP alone up to 3 kg/ton ( Al-Kassie et al, 2011b ; El-Deek et al, 2012 ; Wadasen, 2012 ; Shahverdi et al, 2013 ; El-Amin et al, 2015 , Afolabi et al, 2017 ; Younis and Abdel-Latif, 2017 ; Soliman and Al-Afifi 2020 ) or mixed with black pepper ( El-Tazi, 2014 ; Moradi et al, 2016 ). However, Dougnon et al (2014) reported no difference in the FCR of broiler chicks on a diet supplemented with HRP at 0, 0.5, and 1% of the feed for 1 mo and 0.5 and 1% of the feed for 2 mo.…”

“… Dougnon et al (2014) reported a reduction in the blood glucose level of broiler chicks fed a diet supplemented with HRP at 0.5 and 1% at either 1 or 2 mo compared with those fed the control diet. El-Amin et al (2015) observed that the serum cholesterol and AST concentrations were significantly ( P < 0.05) lower in broiler birds fed a diet supplemented with HRP at 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5% in comparison with the negative and positive controls.…”

“… Adegoke et al (2018) reported that the FI of broiler birds was significantly ( P < 0.05) higher on a diet supplemented with cayenne pepper powder at 100 g/100 kg of feed than on a nonsupplemented diet or a diet supplemented with cayenne pepper powder (200 g) or a combination of turmeric and cayenne pepper powders (200 g + 100 g). However, Wadasen (2012) , Dougnon et al (2014) , and El-Amin et al (2015) reported that there was no difference in the FI of broiler birds on a diet supplemented with HRP at 0, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5% of the feed. In addition, Azouz (2001) mentioned that the FI of broilers decreased as the concentration of HRP increased to 2%.…”

The role of phytogenic feed additives in stress mitigation in broiler chickens

“…However, Lokaewmanee et al (2013) did not observe any change in the feed efficiency of birds fed diets containing 0.5% HRP. Also, Dougnon et al (2014) revealed that there was no difference in the body weight and average daily weight gain of broiler chicks whose diets were supplemented with HRP at 0.5% and 1.0%. Additionally, HRP has been reported to be beneficial to the pancreatic and intestinal enzyme activity in broiler chickens during heat stress (Munglang & Vidyarthi, 2019).…”
