“…They have a wide range of biological activities that have attracted human interest from ancient times. The biological and pharmacological activities of triterpenoid saponins such as anti-fungal (Chludil et al 2002), anti-inflammatory (Sarkhel 2016), anti-microbial (Kaczorek et al 2016), anti-viral (Chen 2014), anti-oxidant (Chaudhary et al 2018), and immunomodulating activities (Chaudhary 2017) and cardioprotective (Li et al 2014) and hepatoprotective effects (Wang et al 2014) have been reported. In animal husbandry, triterpenoid saponins have been reported to improve production, immunity, gut health, and meat quality of monogastric animals without affecting production cost (Chaudhary et al 2018).…”

We evaluated the effects of Quillaja saponin (400 mg/kg) on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, fecal gas emissions, and meat quality in pigs when used as a supplement in a finishing pig diet. In total, 80 finishing pigs [(Yorkshire × Landrace) × Duroc] with an average initial body weight of 61.53 ± 4.41 kg were used in a 61-day study. Pigs were allotted to one of two treatments according to initial body weight with 10 replicate pens per treatment and four pigs (two barrows and two gilts) per pen. The dietary treatments consisted of (1) a basal diet (CON), or (2) a CON + 400 mg/kg Quillaja saponin (QS) diet. The growth performance and nutrient digestibility were not affected by supplementing the diet with QS. The ammonia emissions were decreased by Quillaja saponin supplementation (P < 0.05). Pigs consuming the QS diet had a higher meat water-holding capacity (WHC) (P < 0.05) and a lower meat drip loss on day 7 (P < 0.05) compared to pigs consuming the CON diet. Our results indicate that a diet supplemented with 400 mg/kg Quillaja saponin can improve the meat WHC and drip loss, and reduced fecal ammonia emission.

“…The present study is the first attempt for the use of the crude extract of guishe from A. lechuguilla as a feed additive for shrimps. Concerning this, it is well known that Y. Schidigera , a family‐related plant to A. lechuguilla (Tropicos, ), is a source of phytochemicals with nutritional benefits for animals (Chaudhary et al, ; Farag et al, ). For its part, A. lechuguilla contains 45.34% of compounds with antioxidant properties without specific classification (Carmona, Mussatto, Mussatto, Castillo‐Quiroz, & Ríos‐González, ).…”

“…Besides, there was an effect in the tubular area showing significant differences (p = .0226) between the extract concentrations in feed, with a higher tubular area in the L0.1% and L0.3% treatments (Figure 4). (Tropicos, 2018), is a source of phytochemicals with nutritional benefits for animals (Chaudhary et al, 2018;Farag et al, 2018 Cyprinus carpio fed diets with inclusion between 0.015% and 0.045% of saponins significantly improve growth (Ng'ambi et al, 2016;Serrano, 2013). In addition to the growth improvement, saponins at concentrations of 1 and 2 mg/L in water has been reported to enhance the immune response and phagocytic activity in L. vannamei (Su & Chen, 2008 nevertheless, there is no identification and classification of secondary metabolites present in the guishe extracts.…”

Evaluation ofAgave lechuguillaby‐product crude extract as a feed additive for juvenile shrimpLitopenaeus vannamei

et al. 2020

Agave lechuguilla is a succulent plant species, mainly distributed in the northeast of Mexico and south of the United States of America. The main use for this plant is the fibre´s extraction (known as Tampico fibres), resulting in 15% of fibres and 85% of a by‐product waste named guishe. The lechuguilla collectors, normally incinerate the guishe, thus causing environmental contamination. Interestingly, recent studies showed that guishe contains molecules with nutritional properties, such as saponins, flavonoids and sugars. Therefore, in this work, we evaluated the effect of the crude extract of guishe as a feed additive in whiteleg shrimp diets. According to that, MS‐HPLC analysis of the extract showed the presence of saponins such as diosgenin, smilagenin, hecogenin, manogenin, tigogenin hexose, yucagenin, chlorogenin, diosgenin diglucoside and the flavonol, quercetin. After chemical analysis, the crude extract was included into an experimental diet in four levels; 0% (L0%), 0.1% (L0.1%), 0.3% (L0.3%) and 0.6% (L0.6%). Dietary incorporation of the extract was evaluated by zootechnical performance, haemolymph biochemistry, histomorphology and digestive enzyme activity of shrimps. After 5‐week feeding, the L0.3% diet showed significantly higher growth and better feed utilization among treatments. A significant increase in tubule epithelium height and tubule coverage area from hepatopancreas in shrimp under L0.3% diet compared with the control diet suggest an improvement of the health and nutritional status of the shrimp. Inclusion of L0.3% and L0.6% of the crude extract resulted in a reduction in amylase activity, without effect in glucose levels in the haemolymph. Thus, we suggest that lechuguilla guishe crude extract contains nutritional molecules that may be used as a feed additive to promote shrimp productivity.

“…The saponins are naturally occurring surface‐active glycosides found in different plant parts and the biological activities ascribed to them such as antimicrobial, anti‐inflammatory, immunostimulant, hypocholesterolaemic, anticarcinogenic and antioxidant (Guclu‐Ustundag & Mazza, ) have generated considerable interest among researchers for its use in poultry production. The saponins from different sources have been supplemented in chicken diet by various researchers (Chaudhary et al, ; Cheeke, ; Gaurav, ) who observed that saponins influence the nutrient digestion and their absorption in many ways. However, results have shown considerable variations and thus, the role of saponins in growth performance of chicken remains largely inconclusive.…”

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary soapnut (Sapindus mukorossi) shell powder (SSP), a cheap source of saponins, on growth performance, immunity, serum biochemistry and gut health of broiler chickens. The experimental design was 4×2, employing four saponin levels (0, 100, 150 and 200 mg/kg diet), each provided for two time durations (0–42 day and 21–42 day) resulting into eight dietary treatments. Results revealed no significant effect of dietary saponins on body weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio of birds. The abdominal fat percentage, heterophil to lymphocyte ratio, serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels, faecal total plate count, coliform count and E. coli count decreased (p < .05) progressively with increasing saponin levels and lower values were observed at 150 mg and 200 mg saponin levels. Significant improvement of cell‐mediated and humoral immune response was observed in birds fed 150 mg and 200 mg saponin compared to control. The serum glucose concentration was significantly (p < .05) higher in control group compared to other groups. No significant effects of dietary saponin were observed on carcass characteristics, faecal Lactobacillus count, intestinal histomorphometry and cost economics of broiler chicken production. Thus, dietary saponins at 150 mg/kg diet as SSP for three weeks (21–42 days) was optimum for better immunity and welfare of birds without adverse effects on the growth performance.
