Olive Leaves Extract (OLE) holds therapeutic potential, traditionally used to treat hepatic ailments, though its molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This study evaluated the efficacy of ethanolic OLE against Carbon Tetrachloride (CCl)-induced oxidative stress in a rat model. Phytochemical analysis was performed using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC).

Article Synopsis
  • - Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a harmful mycotoxin affecting poultry health, particularly causing issues like reduced feed intake and weight gain in broiler chicks, which leads to liver and kidney damage.
  • - The study investigates the protective effects of bovine lactoferrin (bLF) against AFB1 toxicity, showing that bLF helped maintain normal liver and kidney function by regulating harmful biomarkers and reducing oxidative stress.
  • - BLF supplementation normalized gene expressions related to apoptosis and antioxidant defense pathways that were disrupted by AFB1 exposure, suggesting it could be a beneficial dietary addition for poultry to combat AFB1-induced damage.

The current research was conducted to assess the effect of in ovo feeding (IOF) of selenium (Se) and zinc (Zn) on hatchability, production performance, liver, intestinal morphology, antioxidant levels and expression levels of immune-related genes in broiler chickens. A total of 400 fertilized eggs were equally divided into four groups: control (non-injected), sham (in ovo injection of 0.75% NaCl), Se (@ 1.

Given China's prohibition on the utilization of antibiotics as feed additives in 2020, we aim to investigate nutrition additives that are both efficient and safe. Lactobacillus, a well-recognized beneficial probiotic, has explicitly been investigated for its effects on health status of the host and overall impact on food industry. To evaluate effects of Lactobacillus plantarum (LW) supplementation on broiler chicken, we conducted comprehensive multi-omics analysis, growth performance evaluation, RT-qPCR analysis, and immunofluorescence.

Lactoferrin is a natural cationic iron-binding glycoprotein of the transferrin family found in bovine milk and other exocrine secretions, including lacrimal fluid, saliva, and bile. Lactoferrin has been investigated for its numerous powerful influences, including anticancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-osteoporotic, antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, immunomodulatory, hepatoprotective, and other beneficial health effects. Lactoferrin demonstrated several nutraceutical and pharmaceutical potentials and have a significant impact on improving the health of humans and animals.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of in ovo feeding (IOF) of L-arginine (Arg) and L-threonine (Thr) in the broiler. For this purpose, 500 embryonated eggs were randomly allocated into five treatment groups of four replicates 25 eggs/replicate. The five treatments were arranged as (1) non-injected control, (2) 0.

We examined whether surplus dietary selenium (Se) supply could alleviate high concentrate (HC) diet-induced hepatic oxidative stress (OS) and inflammation. Eighteen young goats were distributed into three groups; were fed low (LC, concentrate: forage; 35: 65), high concentrate (HC, 65: 35), or Se-supplemented HC (HCSe, 65: 35 + 0.5 mg Se kg diet) diets for 10 weeks.

Materials And Methods: Three hundred sixty ( = 360) broiler chickens were equally divided into control (C) and thiram (T) groups. Furthermore, the C and T groups were dividedinto 8-, 9-, 11-, and 13-day-old chickens.

Results: Clinically, it was observed that broiler chickens of group T had abnormal posture, gait, and lameness, and histopathological results revealed dead and abnormal chondrocytes of T group on day 6.

Camel milk (CM) is the key component of human diet specially for the population belongs to the arid and semi-arid regions of the world. CM possess unique composition as compare to the cow milk with abundant amount of medium chain fatty acids in fat low lactose and higher concentration of whey protein and vitamin C. Besides the nutritional significance of CM, it also contains higher concentration of bioactive compounds including bioactive peptides, lactic acid bacteria (LAB), lactoferrin (LF), lactoperoxidase, lysozyme casein and immunoglobulin.
