The aim of the present study was to elucidate the impacts of dietary curcumin supplementation on energy metabolism, brain monoamines and muscle oxidative stability in heat-stressed broilers. In total, 120 day-old chicks were allocated into three equal groups of four replicates. The first group (T1) was maintained on a thermoneutral condition, while the second group (T2) was subjected to 8 h of thermal stress (34 °C), and both groups fed the basal diet with no supplement. The third group (T3) was exposed to the same thermal stress conditions and fed the basal diet supplemented with curcumin (100 mg kg−1 diet). The dietary curcumin supplementation significantly increased the breast yield (p = 0.004), but reduced the percentage of abdominal fat (p = 0.017) compared with the T2 group. The addition of curcumin to broiler diets significantly improved the levels of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in breast and thigh muscles compared with the T2 group (p < 0.05). The curcumin-supplemented group showed significantly lower levels of malondialdehyde in the breast and thigh muscles than that of the T2 group (p = 0.001 and 0.015, respectively). The dietary curcumin supplementation significantly improved the levels of ATP and CoQ10 in liver tissues (p = 0.012 and 0.001, respectively) and brain serotonin (p = 0.006) as compared to the T2 group. Meanwhile, the heat-stressed group showed significantly higher levels of ADP and Na,K-ATPase in the liver tissues than that of the other experimental groups (p = 0.011 and 0.027, respectively). It could be concluded that dietary curcumin supplementation may improve carcass yield, energy biomarkers, brain serotonin and muscle oxidative stability of heat-stressed broiler chickens.

“…The bene ts of aspirin include minimizing gastrointestinal, respiratory disorders, and increase of growth performance, feed use, digestion, and absorption of nutrients, and the quality of meat products in broiler chickens. In addition, aspirin is involved in lowering cholesterol and triglycerides of blood and meat and plays a role in improving immune functions and antioxidant enzymes in birds (Alagawany et al, 2017).…”

This study was performed to investigate the effect of different levels of aspirin on the diet of broilers. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design using 120 one-day-old male broiler chicks of commercial Ross 308 strain to study the effects of three different levels of aspirin (0, 50 and 100 mg/kg) in 3 treatments, in 4 replicates, each including 10 chicks, during 42 days. The effects of different levels of aspirin, added to a basic diet, on performance, carcass characteristics and digestive organs, blood plasma components, liver enzymes, immune system, secal microflora, and acid profile of breast meat of broiler chickens were investigated. Data analysis was performed by SAS statistical software and the comparison of the means with Duncan's multiple-range test at 5% probability level. The results showed that in the final period, the chickens fed by a diet containing 100 mg/kg of aspirin (A) had the highest feed intake and weight gain and the best feed conversion ratio compared to the other treatments. Also, according to the tables, the lowest production cost and the best European factor were related to treatment A100, which was statistically significant compared to the control (P < 0.05). In addition, the use of the same level of aspirin resulted in a significant increase in some carcass properties and a decrease in ventricular fat compared to the control (P < 0.05). On the other hand, the effects of using two different levels of aspirin on blood parameters and liver enzymes of broilers except for alkaline phosphatase were not significant throughout the period (P ≥ 0.05). Also, the use of the same level of aspirin had no significant effect on the function of the humoral immune system in response to antigen injection, antibody titer against sheep red blood cells (SRBC) and antibody titer against Newcastle disease and influenza virus (P ≥ 0.05). But according to the table, the highest percentage of neutrophils and eosinophils was related to this treatment. Also, aspirin treatments increased the levels of unsaturated fatty acids and decreased saturated fatty acids. Moreover, aspirin treatment led to a reduction in the population of Escherichia coli. So, based on the results of the present study, the use of 100 mg/kg aspirin in the diet of broilers is recommended.

“…The addition of acetylsalicylic acid in chicken diets has also been shown to improve the rate of growth and physiological character during hot environment (9). Alagawang et al (10) noted that acetylsalicylic acid improving nutrient digestion and absorption, growth performance, as well as it plays an important role in decreasing triglyceride and cholesterol in the circulation and enhancement of immune functions and antioxidant enzymes in birds.…”

The goal of the current investigation is to study the effect of vitamin C and acetylsalicylic acid in minimizing the effects of heat stress in terms of hematological values, growth hormone, HSP70 and glutathione. Broiler were randomly distributed into four groups: 1 st group was served as the control, the 2 nd group subjected to heat stress 40±2 ºC up to 4 hours/day, the 3 rd group was subjected to heat stress and vitamin C 360 mg/L via drinking water and the 4 th group was exposed to heat stress and acetylsalicylic acid 0.03% via drinking water. The result showed that exposure to heat stress decline in RBCs count, Hb concentration, PCV and percentage of lymphocyte, furthermore elevation in of MCV, heterophils, H/L ratio, and Hsp70 concentration. Administration of vitamin C caused a significant rise RBCs, percentage of lymphocyte and reduces in MCV, MCH value, percentage of heterophils and H/L ratio compared with the heat stress group. Administrations of acetylsalicylic acid were significantly increased the RBCs, and PCV and decrease in MCV, MCH, MCHC values, and H/L ratio compare with the heat stress group. The results did not show a significant change between the tested groups in the levels of glutathione and growth hormone. The study concluded that Vitamin C and acetylsalicylic acid administration as feed additive ameliorating the opposing effect caused by heat stress in the broiler; thus, its administration recommends when there is heat stress exposure.
