“…Both herbs and probiotics have been shown to promote growth in animals ( 33 , 34 ). Theoretically, the growth-promoting effects of herbs and probiotics in broilers should have a cumulative effect, but in fact, in this study, the compound herbs and JM113 did not have a significant growth-promoting effect on broilers ( p > 0.05), which was similar to the results of Majekodunmi et al ( 35 ), who found that there was no significant difference in feed intake and weight gain of Ross broilers with sweet citrus peel. Sun et al ( 36 ) found that dietary supplementation with Bacillus amyloliquefaciens CECT 5940 did not significantly promote the growth of broilers fed a corn-soybean meal diet.…”

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of different levels of a Chinese herbal medicine formulation combined with JM113 (CHM-JM113) on growth performance, antioxidant capacity, organ index, and intestinal health of AA broilers. The AA broiler chicks were randomly allocated to 5 treatments as follows: a basic diet for the control group, the basic diet supplemented with 0.25% CHM-JM113, 0.5% CHM-JM113, 1% CHM-JM113 and 2% CHM-JM113 for the treatment group, respectively. The results showed that the addition of CHM-JM113 to the diet significantly reduced the mortality (p < 0.01) and improved the European Broiler Index (EBI) (p < 0.05), whereas it had no significance on growth performance of AA broilers (p > 0.05). Comparing the control group, 0.5 and 1% CHM-JM113 group significantly improved the organ index of liver, spleen and bursa (p < 0.05). In terms of intestinal morphology and structure, the addition of different levels of CHM-JM113 increased VH and VH/CD ratio, decreased CD in the small intestine compared to the control group, with 1 and 2% of the additive dose being more effective (p < 0.05). Chinese herbal medicine and probiotics as natural antioxidants also significantly increased the content of SOD in serum of 21-day-old broilers (p < 0.01), and significantly decreased the content of MDA in serum (p < 0.01). At 42 days of age, the addition of 1 and 2% CHM-JM113 significantly increased the content of SOD (p < 0.01) and significantly decreased the content of MDA in the organism (p < 0.01), accompanied by a significant increase in T-AOC and CAT content. In the study of the effect of CHM-JM113 on intestinal immunity, compared with the control group, we found that 1% or 2% CHM-JM113 had a better effect on the expression of occludin and claudin-1 in the intestinal segments of broilers (p < 0.05). For the expression of GATA-3, 0.5% CHM-JM113 may have a better effect (p < 0.05). CHM-JM113 may be used as an antibiotic alternative in broiler production.

“…The high rectal temperature recorded at week 3 in 6 g/L SOPP treatment group, could be attributed to the higher phytochemical concentration in the SOPP dosage, which triggered an initial increase in metabolic activities resulting in increased metabolic heat production. In a similar experiment, Majekodunmi et al (2021) revealed an increase in feed intake and weight gain of broilers given 6 g/L SOPP at week 3. Increase in feed intake especially during high temperature period is known to cause increased metabolic heat production, which could account for the high rectal temperature recorded at week 3.…”

“…The crispy peels were then milled, sieved and stored in an air tight container at room temperature until when needed. Phytochemical analysis of SOPP was carried out and the result had earlier been reported by Majekodunmi et al (2021).…”

“…Starter and finisher diets were formulated according to NRC (1994) recommendations to meet the nutrients requirement of each feeding phase and provided ad libitum. The detailed composition of experimental starter and finisher diets have been reported earlier by Majekodunmi et al (2021). Freshly prepared SOPP water according to the quantity per treatment was provided daily to the birds ad libitum from day 15 to day 49 of the experiment.…”

“…Sweet orange peel has been reported to be a good source of antioxidants as it contains high concentrations of phenols (Manthey, 2004), flavonoids (Vlaicu et al, 2020) and vitamins, especially vitamin C (Yang et al, 2011), which plays key role in the mitigation of heat stress. Efficacy of sweet orange peel in water in ameliorating the negative effect of heat stress on growth performance of broiler chickens has been reported by Majekodunmi et al (2021). Economic losses in poultry, as a result of heat stress, are consequences of marked deviation in the level of blood biochemical and growth rate.…”

This study investigated the effect of sweet orange peel powder (SOPP) supplemented water on the rectal temperature (RT), respiratory rate (RR) and blood profile of broiler chickens raised in a hot humid environment. Day-old Ross broiler chickens (n = 96) were randomly allotted into four treatment groups: Control – without SOPP, 2 g SOPP, 4 g SOPP and 6 g SOPP per litre of water. Three replications of eight birds each per treatment in a completely randomized design were performed. Rectal temperatures were comparable (p > 0.05) among the treatments across the weeks except the third week. Birds on 6 g SOPP had a significantly (p < 0.05) higher value (41.32 °C) compared with birds in the control (40.90 °C) and 4 g SOPP (41.00 °C). Respiratory rate was not significantly different (p > 0.05) among treatments across the weeks. Significant (p < 0.05) variations were observed in the red blood cell (RBC) and mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) values at week 4. However, at week 7, heterophil (H), lymphocyte (L), heterophil:lymphocyte ratio (H/L) and RBC were significantly (p < 0.05) different among the treatments. The H/L values were 0.42, 0.40, 0.38 and 0.36 for Control, 2 g SOPP, 4 g SOPP and 6 g SOPP, respectively. Serum biochemical indices examined were comparable among the treatment groups across the weeks. Inclusion of SOPP into drinking water of broiler birds did not adversely affect the birds as observed in the RT, RR and blood profile. Rather it helps the birds in coping with the environmental stress, as observed in the reduced H/L.
