“…Herein, our results show that supplementation with an EO blend with either BPO or RSO at higher levels had favorable effects on the gut microflora by enhancing the counts of beneficial lactobacilli and lowering the population of coliform. Accordingly, a blend of EOs (thyme, peppermint, savory, and black pepper) altered the gut ecosystem to favor beneficial microflora [71]. Similarly, phytogenic products such as EOs could act against the colonization of intestinal pathogens such as Clostridium perfringens and E. coli due to their antibacterial effects in poultry [72,73].…”

Optimal combinations of essential oils (EOs) can enhance performance and maintain poultry productivity. The effects of EOs with black pepper oil (BPO) or radish seed oil (RSO) on performance and the expression of digestive enzymes, lipogenesis, immunity, and autophagy-related genes in broiler chickens were explored. Six dietary treatments for 300 one-day-old chicks were allocated as follows: controls were fed a basal diet, one group was fed an EO-supplemented diet (1.5 g/kg diet of parsley, mint, and carrot seed oils (1:1:1)), and other groups received Eos + BPO0.25, Eos + BPO0.5, Eos + RSO0.25, and Eos + RSO0.5 treatments, with a basal diet containing EOs plus BPO or RSO at the level of 0.25 or 0.5 g/kg, respectively. Supplementation with 0.5 g/kg of EOs plus BPO or RSO resulted in the most improved maximum BWG and FCR in broiler chickens. The lactobacilli population was increased in Eos + BPO0.5, followed by EOs + RSO0.5, unlike in the control. The highest expression of the CCK and PNLIP genes was identified in the Eos + BPO group. The FAS and ACC genes were upregulated, while the IgA and IL-10 genes were downregulated, with EOs plus RSO or BPO. The group that received Eos + BPO0.5, followed by Eos + RSO0.5, displayed patterns of higher expression for atg5, atg7, and atg12, with lower expression of mTOR. In summary, a new combination of EOs with 0.5 g/kg BPO had potential growth-promoting and immune-boosting effects in broiler chickens.

“…Clostridium perfringens -challenged broilers supplemented with PFAs consisting of either benzo [c]phenanthridine alkaloids from Macleaya cordata , active component of carvacrol from oregano (4.95 g/100 g), cinnamaldehyde from cinnamon (2.97 g/100 g), and capsaicin from paprika (1.98 g/100 g), or EO of thyme and anise as leading active ingredients and other including oregano, carvacol, yucca extract and cinnamaldehyde exhibited similar growth performance as the control non-infected group [ 74 ]. Microcapsules with a blend of EOs (thyme, peppermint, savoury, and black pepper) at the dose of 0.5, 1, and 2 kg/ton in the C. perfringens -challenged broiler chickens results in raising final weight and total feed intake [ 75 ]. However, supplementation of EO containing 25% thymol and 25% carvacrol as active components, did not influence the growth performance during d 0 to 14 and tended to linearly reduce the FCR between 14 and 28 d of age of Clostridium perfringens challenged broilers [ 76 ].…”

Phytogenic feed additives have been largely tested in poultry production with the aim to identify their effects on the gastrointestinal function and health, and their implications on the birds’ systemic health and welfare, the production efficiency of flocks, food safety, and environmental impact. These feed additives originating from plants, and consisting of herbs, spices, fruit, and other plant parts, include many different bioactive ingredients. Reviewing published documents about the supplementation of phytogenic feed additives reveals contradictory results regarding their effectiveness in poultry production. This indicates that more effort is still needed to determine the appropriate inclusion levels and fully elucidate their mode of actions. In this frame, this review aimed to sum up the current trends in the use of phytogenic feed additives in poultry with a special focus on their interaction with gut ecosystem, gut function, in vivo oxidative status and immune system as well as other feed additives, especially organic acids.

“…A pilot plant scale spray dryer (Buchi, B-191, Switzerland) with counter-current airflow was utilized to encapsulate the PRE obtained from P. bistorta root [ 22 ]. The maltodextrin (70% w/w), modified starch (20% w/w), and whey protein concentrate (10% w/w) was used as wall materials according to our early studies [ 23 – 25 ]. Briefly, the PRE (8 g), tween 80 (3 g), and the 32 g of wall material with the respective ratio of 1:4 were added to 100 ml of water and mixed using a stirrer at 4 °C overnight for complete rehydration.…”

Background Microencapsulation technology is the fundamental delivery system for encapsulating the natural bioactive compounds especially phenolic in order to developing bioavailability, stability and controlling release. This study was conducted to determine the antibacterial and health-promoting potential of the phenolic rich extract (PRE)-loaded microcapsules obtained from Polygonum bistorta root as a dietary phytobiotic in mice challenged by enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli). Method The PRE was obtained from Polygonum bistorta root using fractionation by different polarity solvents and the highest PRE was encapsulated by the combination of modified starch, maltodextrin, and whey protein concentrate as wall materials using a spray dryer. Then, the physicochemical characterization (particle size, zeta potential, Morphology and polydispersity index) of microcapsules have been assessed. For the invivo study, 30 mice at five treatment were designed and antibacterial properties were analyzed. Furthermore, relative fold changes in the ileum population of E. coli was investigated using Real time PCR. Results The encapsulation of PRE resulted in the production of phenolic enriched extract-loaded microcapsules (PRE-LM) with a mean diameter of 330 nm and relatively high entrapment efficiency (87.2% w/v). The dietary supplementation of PRE-LM improved weight gain, liver enzymes, gene expression, morphometric characteristics of the ileum and decreased the population of E. coli present in the ileum significantly (p < 0.05). Conclusion Our funding suggested PRE-LM as a promising phytobiotic against E. coli infection in mice.
