“…Ao et al [69] found a better fatty acid profile in egg yolk with higher poly-unsaturated fatty acid and lower saturated fatty acid by the dietary garlic (30 g/kg feed). Damaziak et al [116] indicated that administration of the dietary onion extract to hens resulted in heavier eggs, with a higher content of egg yolk and better quality of albumen. The genus Allium has an exceptional ability to absorb, metabolize, and store selenium as organoselenium compounds such as selenomethionine and selenocysteine [117].…”

“…In an organoleptic assessment, Motozono et al [120] reported an off flavor in eggs with garlic dietary supplementation (20 g crushed garlic/kg feed) in layers, while Birrenkott et al [121] and Olobatoke and Mulugeta [67] reported no differences in color and flavor in eggs from hens consuming up to 30 g dietary garlic powder per kg feed. Damaziak et al [116] indicated that the effect of dietary allium on the taste of eggs may be determined by both supplementation level and duration.…”

The genus Allium, belonging to the family Amaryllidaceae has been known since ancient times for their therapeutic potentials. As the number of multi-drug resistant infections has increased due to in-feed antibiotic usage in poultry, the relevance of alliums as feed additives has been critically assessed. Garlic and the other Allium species, such as onions, leek, shallot, scallion, and chives, have been characterized to contain a plethora of bioactive compounds such as organosulfur compounds, polyphenols, saponins, fructans, and fructo-oligosaccharides. Consequently, alliums have been validated to confer antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral, immunostimulatory, gut homeostasis, and lipid- as well as cholesterol-lowering properties in poultry. This review intends to summarize recent progress on the use of edible alliums as poultry feed additives, their beneficial effects, and the underlying mechanisms of their involvement in poultry nutrition. Perspectives for future research and limitations are also briefly discussed.

“…Quercetin has powerful antioxidant activity that can protect against diseases caused by oxidative stress (21,22). One of the studies (23)(24)(25) has shown the positive effect of synthetic quercetin on the egg quality and laying performance of hens. Further, a diet supplemented with quercetin reduced the thiobarbituric acidreactive substance (TBARS) value in broiler meat (26) and pork pie (27).…”

“…Furthermore, recent studies showed that herbal enriched super eggs can be obtained from laying hens fed with diets supplemented with phytobiotics, herbs containing secondary metabolites such as garlic, onion, basil leaves, turmeric powder, citrus pulp, flaxseed (Damaziak et al, 2017;Mirbod et al, 2017;Ehr et al, 2017). It is therefore envisaged that performance and egg qualities will be improved in laying hens fed diets containing ginger, turmeric and garlic especially at older age.…”

Performance and egg qualities of old-laying hens fed with diets containing ginger, turmeric and garlic were evaluated in a twelve (12) week feeding trial. A total of 135 laying birds of Isa-Brown strain which were sixty-four (64) weeks old were used for the trial and arranged in a completely randomized design. Five diets were formulated for the trial: Diet 1 (control), Diet 2 (3% inclusion level of turmeric), Diet 3 (3% inclusion level of ginger), Diet 4 (turmeric and garlic at 2.25% and 0.75%, respectively) and Diet 5 (ginger and garlic at 2.25% and 0.75%, respectively). Proximate compositions of the Phytogenic Feed Additives (PFAs) were determined with the moisture content ranging between 5.03-7.50%; ash (3.26-6.11%); ether extract (7.39-14.58%); fibre (10.28-13.79%); protein (3.07-7.23%) and Nitrogen Free Extract (58.88-61.54%). The performance indices, though not significantly (P˃0.05) influenced by the test diets except for Hen Day Production (HDP) had the highest weight gained (0.16kg) recorded for birds fed on a diet containing ginger. The highest (62.92 and 62.04 %) HDP were observed in birds fed diets containing ginger and ginger + garlic; respectively. However, the lowest weight gained (0.04kg) was recorded in birds fed a diet containing turmeric + garlic; this diet also recorded the lowest % HDP and FCR with values of 57.50% and 2.37 respectively. The overall values for the qualities of eggs from laying hens fed the PFAs showed that only the Haugh Unit, yolk colour and albumen height were significantly (P˂0.05) affected; with those on Turmeric + Garlic diets having the highest for these parameters. However, the fatty acid variables were not significantly (P˃0.05) affected by the dietary treatments. It could be concluded that the inclusion of PFAs in the diets of laying hens especially at an older age would help to sustain performance with improved quality.
