Growth performance, gastrointestinal tract responses, and meat characteristics of broiler chickens fed a diet containing the natural alkaloid sanguinarine from Macleaya cordata

Analysis of the Impact of Isoquinoline Alkaloids, Derived fromMacleaya cordataExtract, on the Development and Innate Immune Response in Swine and Poultry

“…They also improve appetite and the growth performance [20]. In the case of broiler chickens and maturing turkeys, the recommended dose of Macleaya cordata in diet is 20 to 50 ppm [49]. …”

Assessment of Benzophenanthridine and Protopine Alkaloids in Broiler Challenged and Not by Salmonella Heidelberg

“…However, on day 21, the birds receiving BPA for the period of one to 21 days of age (BPA 1-21d) were heavier (p<0.05) compared with those receiving BPA from one to six days of age and challenged with S. Heidelber g at six days of age (BPA 1-6 d, SH) ( Table 2). Zdunczyk et al (2010), Vieira et al (2008a), and Vieira et al (2008b) when assessing the performance of broilers treated with BPA, but not submitted to health challenges. Zdunczyk et al (2010) did not observe any differences (p>0.05) in the body weight of BPA-treated broilers relative to the controls neither 8 nor at 21 days of age.…”

“…Zdunczyk et al (2010), Vieira et al (2008a), and Vieira et al (2008b) when assessing the performance of broilers treated with BPA, but not submitted to health challenges. Zdunczyk et al (2010) did not observe any differences (p>0.05) in the body weight of BPA-treated broilers relative to the controls neither 8 nor at 21 days of age. The results obtained in the present study with BPA supplementation relative the control group (Table 2), regardless of the period of supplementation, support those findings.…”

“…This was also observed by Santiago et al (2014), but in the presence of a health challenge. Zdunczyk et al (2010), evaluating the inclusion of 30 ppm of a product containing BPA in the feed of 1-to 35-d-old broilers, in the absence of challenge, did not find any feed conversion ratio differences (p>0.05).…”

Papaveraceae Juss.

“…Several toxicity and 90day feeding trials with rats, poultry, and pigs have demonstrated the effi cacy and apparent safety of these alkaloids in these situations Kosina et al 2004;Vrublova et al 2008;Zdarilova et al 2008;Zdunczyk et al 2010).
