“…Blood biochemical parameters are reliable indicators of the well‐being of birds and reflect the nutritional, physiological and pathological status of birds’ body (Kraus et al., 2021 ). Thus, some serum indices provide clinical information for diagnosis and characterization of avian diseases (Hosseinian and Hasanzade, 2021 ; Li et al., 2017 ). As mentioned below, high ambient temperature causes several changes in the physiological status and blood biochemical profile in broilers (Wasti et al., 2020 ).…”

Background: Heat stress is one of the most critical problems confronting the poultry industry. Stinging nettle (SN) is a medicinal plant with potent antioxidant properties. Objective:The goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of dietary SN at two different levels (2 and 4%) on the serum levels of cortisol and some selected parameters of broilers exposed to chronic heat stress.Methods: A total of 240 broiler chickens were randomly assigned to six dietary groups as follows: (1) control: fed the basal diet; (2) HS: heat-stressed broiler fed the basal diet; (3) HS-SN2: heat-stressed broiler fed 2% dietary SN; (4) HS-SN4: heat-stressed broilers fed 4% SN; (5) SN2: no heat-stressed broilers fed the basal diet supplemented with 2% SN; (6) SN4: no heat-stressed broilers fed the basal diet supplemented with 4% SN. Diet supplementation with SN was performed from days 14 to 35 and chronic heat stress was induced from days 22 to 29. The serum parameters were evaluated on days 14, 21, 29 and 35.Results: HS had higher serum levels of cortisol, total cholesterol (TC), aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase and creatine kinase (CK) compared to the other treatments. HS-SN4 had significantly lower cortisol, TC, alanine aminotransferase and CK compared to HS and HS-SN2. Conclusions:The inclusion of 4% SN powder in the broilers' diet alleviated the negative effects of heat stress by decreasing cortisol, TC and tissue damage indices. It seems that dietary SN could be used as a feed additive in the poultry diet for improving the health status and defence mechanisms of the birds under stressful conditions.

“…Intake of HE density diet has been recognized as one of the important causes of oxidative stress in animals such as pigeons (Hosseinian and Hasanzadeh, 2021), piglets (Adebowale et al, 2015), rats (Jiang and Jiang, 2018), cows (Wang et al, 2010), and sheep (Liang et al, 2020). This current study revealed that energy level and FA have no effect on plasma and breast muscle MDA and SOD levels in broiler chickens.…”

“…Our evidence supports a previous study by Cetin et al (2019), who observed that plasma MDA was not influenced by increasing dietary energy levels. The recent study by Hosseinian and Hasanzadeh, (2021) No previous studies involved the effect of HE diet on breast muscle MDA and SOD, so we could not compare our results in this aspect.…”

“…Che et al (2019) showed a similar result and observed increased plasma concentration of MDA in sows fed with a high energy density diet. Moreover, a high energy density diet significantly increased serum MDA and decreased serum T-AOC of pigeons compared to those fed a lower energy density diet(Hosseinian and Hasanzadeh 2021) Wang et al (2010). reported that high energy density diets might negatively affect the anti-oxidative status and subsequent performance of cows.…”

Folic acid (FA) plays an essential role in the functioning of the gut and serves as an antioxidant. Therefore, dietary supplementation with high levels of FA may improve gut health and prevent oxidative stress caused by feeding a high energy density diet to broiler chickens. Broiler chickens were assigned into eight treatments, consisting of either a normal energy (NE) or high energy (HE) density diet, and four FA levels (2.2, 5, 10, and 15 ppm). Data were analyzed by SAS 16 GLM procedure. Birds fed HE diets had increased (P<0.05) plasma concentrations of calcium and albumin but reduced (P<0.005) weights of ceca and bursa compared to those fed NE diets. Dietary supplementation with 10ppm FA significantly increased (P<0.05) birds’ heart weight and bile acid concentration. FA and energy density interactions were significant for jejunal villus height (VH; P=0.0226), villus width (VW; P<0.0001), and crypt depth (CD; P=0.0332). Among the NE group, birds fed 5-15ppm FA had reduced (P<.0001) VW, while in the HE groups, 15ppm FA supplementation resulted in an increased jejunal VH (P=0.0317) compared to other treatments. In conclusion, dietary supplementation with increased levels of FA in HE diets could be beneficial for the intestinal health of broiler chickens.

“…Sunflower seeds are one of the most popular foods to supply bird feeders. The seeds contain at least 40-50% fat, and this food is termed a high-energy diet for birds [60]. Birds have a fast metabolism, meaning that they can burn calories quickly.…”

The optimal body mass hypothesis posits that the body reserves of wintering birds are balanced between the risk of starvation and predation. In this study, we tested whether the body mass of wintering Great Tits (Parus major) was higher under conditions of less predictable food resources. We compared body mass, body mass index, the speed at take-off, and apparent survival of Great Tit adult males wintering in small urban areas either near feeders providing permanent access to food for months or near feeders providing irregular access to food. Body mass and body mass index were greater, while take-off speed and apparent survival were lower, in birds wintering near permanent feeders than birds wintering near irregular feeders. Thus, urban birds, with their predictable access to high energy food, did not follow the fattening strategy predicted by the optimal body mass hypothesis. This study shows that regular excess amounts of high-energy food may affect urban birds’ physiological and behavioral strategies in a non-adaptive way. We recommend irregular feeding of wintering birds and the placing of feeders in places that are safe against attacking predators.
