“…Regarding the effect of organic acids, the obtained results agreed with previous studies demonstrated that supplementation of organic acids to broiler diets could be used to increased growth performance, reduced diseases and overcome some management problems (Gunal et al, 2006;Islam et al, 2008;Ao et al, 2009;Hassan et al, 2010;Sayrafi et al, 2011;Mohamed et al, 2014). Gunal et al (2006), Islam et al (2008) and Ao et al (2009) concluded that organic acids could be used in poultry as a growth promoter and as a meaningful tool of controlling intrinsic pathogenic bacteria.…”

“…Cengiz et al (2012) reported that supplementation of organic acids to poultry diets was shown to increases beneficial microbial activity in the small intestine. It also suppresses the growth of certain species of bacteria such as Salmonella, E. coli, Clostridium perfringes, Listeria monocytogenes and Campylobacter (Van Immerseel et al, 2002;Hassan et al, 2010;Mohamed et al, 2014). Mohamed et al (2014) found that dietary inclusion of organic acids in broiler diets increased growth performance and improved intestinal morphology.…”

“…There are reports that show increased, unchanged as well as reduced villi length and crypt depth in jejunum and colon for broiler and piglet treated with phytogenics (Namkung et al, 2004;Demir et al, 2005;Jamroz et al, 2006;Nofrarias et al, 2006;Oetting et al, 2006). Also, organic acids are among the alternative growth promoters that are being used to stimulate growth performance in poultry (Hassan et al, 2010;Mohamed et al, 2014). Many studies demonstrated that supplementation of organic acids to broiler diets increase growth performance, improve gut morphology, reduce diseases and overcome some management problems (Gunal et al, 2006;Islam et al, 2008;Ao et al, 2009;Hassan et al, 2010;Sayrafi et al, 2011;Mohamed et al, 2014).…”

A growth experiment was conducted to study performance, nutrients digestibility and economic efficiency of broiler chicks fed corn-soybean meal diets supplemented with a commercial phytogenic product (Bedgen 40 ) contained artichoke extract (Cynara scolymus), a commercial mixture of ® organic acids (Galliacid ) and a combination of both. Starter, grower and finisher diets were ® supplemented with two levels of both being 0 and 150 g tG artichoke extract and 0 and 600 g tG 1 1 organic acids in 2×2 factorial arrangement. Dietary treatments were examined on 200 one day-old Cobb broiler chicks. The experiment lasted from 1-39 days of age. The results showed that supplementation of artichoke extract or organic acids mixture significantly (p<0.05) increased body weight gain by about 6% and improved feed conversion ratio by about 7%, compared with the control diet of no feed additives. Addition of artichoke extract improved the digestibility coefficients (p<0.01) of CP and CF, while, addition of organic acids mixture improved the digestibility coefficients (p<0.01) of DM, OM, CP, CF and NFE compared to the un-supplemented diet. Supplementation of artichoke extract and organic acids decreased total feed cost/kg body weight and improved net profit and economic efficiency. It could be concluded that using artichoke extract or organic acids mixture improved broiler performance and economic efficiency of broilers fed corn-soybean meal diets. No associative effect was detected on performance, digestibility or economic efficiency when a combination of both products was used.

Background:In recent years, the use of medicinal plants as an alternative to antibiotics has expanded. Plants containing medicines and antioxidants can improve the performance of poultry. Objectives:The purpose of this study was to achieve the appropriate levels of green tea leaf powder (GTP) and mulberry leaf powder (MLP) in the diet, which positively affects broilers' performance.Methods: 648 one-day-old Ross 308 broiler chickens were allocated to nine dietary treatments with six replicates and each replicate containing 12 birds based on a completely randomised design (CRD) in a factorial arrangement of 3 × 3 with three levels of GTP, and three levels of MLP for 42 days. Treatments included: (1) no GTP + no MLP (control), (2) 1% GTP + no MLP, (3) 2% GTP + no MLP, (4) no GTP + 1% MLP, (5) 1% GTP + 1% MLP, (6) 2% GTP + 1% MLP, (7) no GTP + 2% MLP, (8) 1% GTP + 2% MLP and (9) 2% GTP + 2% MLP. Results:The results revealed that the effect of added powders (2%) was significant and increased daily weight gain (DWG) and reduced feed conversion ratio (FCR) compared to the control group during the grower and whole phases (p < 0.05). On 35 days, the control and 2% GTP + 2% MLP treatment had the lowest and highest antibodies titre (total and immunoglobulin G [IgG]), respectively (p < 0.05). The groups fed with 1% GTP + 1% MLP showed higher villus height (VH) compared to the control, 2% GTP + 1% MLP, 1% GTP + 2% MLP, and 2% GTP + 2% MLP groups (p < 0.05). The ratio of the villus height to crypt depth (VH: CD) in treatments 1% GTP + no MLP, 2% GTP + no MLP and 1% GTP + 1% MLP was significantly higher than the control treatment (p < 0.05). Conclusions:It was concluded that the addition of 2% GTP or MLP could improve humoral immune response and performance, and the addition of 1% GTP without MLP increased VH: CD in broilers.
