“…The use of phytogenic feed additives as an alternative to infeed medicines is a novel idea for the treatment of coccidiosis, and it has a wide range of benefits, such as safety, lack of grace period, natural origin, little or no residual effects, and cost-effectiveness ( Abudabos et al., 2017 ; Alhotan and Abudabos, 2019 ; Al-Quraishy et al., 2020 ; Qasem et al., 2020 ). Recently, feed additives originating from plants, such as Aloe barbadensis, Cinnamomum verum, Tinospora cordifolia, Bambusa arundinacea, Emblica officinalis, Ferula foetida regel, and Tamarindus indica have provided beneficial results against several common diseases in broiler chickens, such as infection with Escherichia coli, Salmonella, mycotoxins, and C. perfringens ( Moryani et al., 2020 ; Prakash et al., 2020 ).

The anticoccidial influences of various amounts of Cinnamomum verum powder were compared with that of salinomycin as standard synthetic anticoccidial drug on the anticoccidial indicators and production performance in broilers experimentally exposed to coccidiosis. Broiler chicks at 1 d of age ( n = 150) were arbitrarily distributed into 6 groups. Birds from groups 1–3 were received the starter and finisher diets plus 2, 4, and 6 g of cinnamon/kg of the diet, respectively. Birds from group 4 were fed the starter and finisher diets plus 66 mg of salinomycin, group 5 constituted the positive control ( PC ), with the coccidial challenge, and group 6 constituted the negative control ( NC ), without the coccidial infection, which were both maintained on diets without any cinnamon. The results showed that BW gain, feed conversion ratio, and production efficiency factor declined considerably ( P < 0.05) in the PC compared with the NC. At seventh day postinfection ( DPI ), the lesion score was significantly ( P < 0.05) lower in the ceca of salinomycin-treated birds than the PC. The anticoccidial index was moderate in the chickens treated with salinomycin and 6 g cinnamon at 7 DPI compared with those in the PC group. In addition, cinnamon- or salinomycin-treated birds exhibited lower oocyst values and higher oocyst reduction rate than those in the PC. We concluded that C. verum at level 6 g cinnamon/kg diet moderately reduced coccidiosis and attempted to improved BW, feed conversion ratio, and production efficiency at 7 DPI compared with the infected groups.

Histopathological study of spleen infected by Marek’s Disease Virus (MDV) in broiler chicken

et al. 2021

Marek's disease virus (MDV) is highly contagious in chicken farms and is a cell-associated oncogenic herpesvirus. The gross morphology and histopathological characteristics of neoplasm are one of the important components of diagnosis. The spleen of infected birds 6-10 weeks old were obtained from a broiler chickens in poultry estate, Gadap, Karachi district, Sindh. On histopathological examination lymphoreticular infiltrations of neoplastic cells were seen under high magnification. A number of atrophied cells and extensive inflammatory reaction was present. Lymphoid cells of various sizes, lymphoblasts and immature cells were observed. Necrotic foci and haemorrhages were present. In some slides focal pleomorphic cell proliferation was obvious. Besides neoplastic lymphocytic aggregation and dysplastic foci were observed.

“…Medicinal plants are added to poultry diets for a variety of reasons. These include antimicrobial, antioxidant, growth enhancement, reducing drug use and chemical additives, improving the taste and marketability of poultry products, and improving blood parameters and immunity (Habibi & Ghahtan 2019;Moryani et al 2020). Among the high-quality and widely used plants in this field, we can mention the medicinal plants of thyme and mint (Hassan 2019;Nouri 2019).…”

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of normal and nanocapsulated forms of thyme and peppermint essential oils on intestinal morphology and microbial population of broilers fed on normal and low crude protein diets. The study was carried out with a total of 320 Ross-308 broiler chickens as a 2×2×2 (2 medicinal plant essential oils, 2 forms of oils and 2 levels of diet crude protein) factorial arrangements with 32 groups (10 chicks per replicate) according to a completely random design. This experiment was done in three periods included: Starter (1-10 days), grower (11-24 days) and finisher (25-42 days). The experimental diets had significant effects on intestinal morphology (P<0.05), so that the use of the usual form of essential oils while reducing the depth of the crypt, increased the ratio of the length of the villa to the depth of the crypt. In use of peppermint essential oil with standard protein, crypt depth increased, and the ratio of villi height to crypt depth was minimal (P<0.05). A decrease in dietary crude protein level reduced the population of lactobacilli in the intestine (P<0.05). However, the level of crude protein in the diet and the form of use of the essential oil, as well as the type of essential oil and its form, did not have significant effects on the intestinal microbial population (P>0.05). Based on the results of this experiment, it can be stated that in broilers, the use of the encapsulated form of thyme essential oil in diets with standard crude protein levels, improved the intestinal morphology and intestinal non-pathogenic microbial population of broilers. Ten percent reduction in dietary crude protein level had adverse effects on measured traits and is not recommended, and in case of reduction of dietary protein, it is necessary to use peppermint essential oils supplements.
