“…These microbial colonies could produce toxic compounds and gases that damage epithelial cells and reduce bird's appetite (Ricke et al, 2005;Tellez et al, 2006). In this regard, it has been demonstrated that the harmful intestinal microbial colonies were diminished by administration of different flavonoid and isoflavonoid compounds (Bankova et al, 2000;Havsteen, 2002;Kosalec et al, 2005). The lower ADFI in groups fed on the higher dosages of genistein is consistent with findings of Jiang et al (2007), who reported that the levels more than 20 mg soy ISF/kg depress feed consumption in broiler chicks.…”

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of supplemental genistein (an isoflavonoid) on performance, lymphoid organs' development, and cellular and humoral immune responses in broiler chicks. A total of 675-day-old male broiler chicks (Ross 308) were randomly assigned to the five replicate pens (15 chicks each) of nine experimental diets. Dietary treatments included a negative (not-supplemented) control diet, two positive control groups (virginiamycin or zinc-bacitracin, 20 mg/kg), and diets containing 10, 20, 40, 80, 160 and 320 mg/kg of genistein. The cutaneous basophil hypersensivity (CBH) test was measured at day 10 of age after toe web injection with phytohemagglutinin-P. In addition, sera samples were collected after different antigen inoculations to investigate antibody responses. At day 28 of age, three randomly selected birds from each pen were euthanized to evaluate the relative weights of lymphoid organs. Results showed that dietary supplementation of both antibiotics increased ( P < 0.01) feed intake during 1 to 42 days of age. Furthermore, daily weight gain was influenced ( P < 0.01) by dietary treatments throughout the trial, so that the birds fed on antibiotics and 20 to 80 mg/kg genistein diets revealed the greater weight gains compared with other experimental groups. The best ( P < 0.05) feed conversion ratio assigned to the birds fed on diets containing antibiotics and moderate levels (40 to 80 mg/kg) of genistein. Although the relative weights of thymus ( P < 0.05) and bursa of Fabricius ( P < 0.01) were greater in birds fed on genistein-supplemented diets compared with antibiotics-supplemented birds, the spleen weight was not affected by experimental diets. Similarly, CBH response and antibody titers against Newcastle and infectious bronchitis disease viruses were markedly ( P < 0.05) greater in chicks fed on diets supplemented with 20 to 80 mg/kg of genistein. Interestingly, the higher dosages of genistein suppressed CBH and antibody responses to the levels seen by control and antibiotics chicks. Dietary inclusion of genistein increased ( P < 0.05) lymphocytes and subsequently reduced ( P < 0.01) heterophil to lymphocyte ratio. The present findings indicate that dietary genistein supplementation at the levels of 20 to 80 mg/kg not only improves growth performance, but also could beneficially affect immunological responses in broiler chicks.Keywords: broiler chicks, genistein, humoral immunity, isoflavonoids, leukocyte subpopulations ImplicationsComparative effects of two antibiotics (virginiamycin or zincbacitracin) and supplemental genistein were assessed in broiler chicks. Results showed that the birds fed on diets containing antibiotics and 20 to 80 mg/kg of genistein had the greater weight gains. Dietary genistein supplementation increased the relative weights of thymus and bursa of Fabricius. In addition, antibody responses against viral antigens were greater in genistein-supplemented chicks compared with those on antibiotics diets. Dietary inclusion of genistein increased lymp...

“…These may due to the difference of propolis source and active component of propolis as different geographic property affects chemical composition and biological activity of propolis (Kujumgiev et al, 1999). Propolis form Europe and China had high flavonoid and phenolic contens (Bankova et al, 2000). On the other hand, propolis from Brazil showed high terpenoid and cumaric acid derivative (Kumazawa et al, 2003).…”

“…The health benefits of propolis are related to its content of flavonoids and other phenolic compounds (BANKOVA; CASTRO;MARCUCCI, 2000). As volatile components, various mono-and sesquiterpenes are found (BANKOVA et al, 1994, FERRACINI et al, 1995.…”

IntroductionPropolis (also referred to as bee's glue) possesses a broad spectrum of biological activities, such as anti-hepatotoxic, antitumor, antiviral, antioxidant, antimicrobial and antiinflammatory properties, and is therefore used as a constituent of health foods and functional foods (BURDOCK, 1998).Propolis is collected from the leaf buds of numerous tree species (alder, birch, palm, pine, poplar and willow). Other plant exudates and secretions, such as substances secreted by plants to seal wounds, lipophylic substances on leaves, mucilages, gums, resins, lattices, etc. are also used (BANKOVA; CASTRO;MARCUCCI, 2000). Brazilian Green Propolis is collected from the tender sprouts of Baccharis dracunculifolia, which is commonly found in the States of Minas Gerais, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Paraná AGUIAR, 2002;IKEGAKI;ALENCAR, 2000). In Brazil, twelve distinct groups of propolis have been classified according to their botanical origin and biological properties. Brazilian Green Propolis is classified as Group 12, which is the most commercialized and largely used in foods and beverages to improve health and prevent diseases (PARK et al., 2005).Propolis is in general composed of 50% resin and balsam, 30% wax, 10% essential and aromatic oils, 5% pollen, and 5% other substances, such as aliphatic acids, esters, aromatic acids, fatty acids, carbohydrates, aldehydes, amino acids, ketones, chalcones, dihydrochalcones, terpenoids, vitamins (B1, B2, B6, C and E) and minerals (aluminum, antimony, calcium, cesium, copper, iron, lanthanum, manganese, mercury, nickel, silver, vanadium and zinc) (ALMEIDA; MENEZES, 2002). Resumo Extratos etanólicos e óleos essenciais de própolis verde do sudeste brasileiro e gemas de sua origem botânica (Baccharis dracunculifolia) foram analisados por CLAE-FR (Cromatografia Líquida de Alta Eficiência em Fase Reversa), CCDAE (Cromatografia em Camada Delgada de Alta Eficiência) e CG-EM (Cromatografia Gasosa acoplada a Espectrometria de Massas). Os óleos essenciais foram obtidos por hidro destilação.Extratos etanólicos e óleos essenciais de Baccharis dracunculifolia e de própolis mostraram perfis cromatográficos similares entre si. Treze flavonóides foram identificados por CLAE-FR e CCDAE em ambas as amostras. Vinte e três compostos voláteis foram identificados por CG-EM, sendo dezessete deles presentes em ambos os óleos essenciais. Artepillin C foi o flavonóide encontrado em maiores concentrações em ambas as amostras, enquanto nerolidol foi o volátil majoritário em ambos os óleos essenciais. Os compostos majoritários identificados neste trabalho podem ser utilizados como marcadores químicos para classificar de forma prática e identificar origens botânicas de própolis. Palavras-chave: composição de óleos essenciais; Baccharis dracunculifolia; própolis; Alecrim do campo; flavonóides.
