Abaineh DSintayehu ATreatment trial of subclinical mastitis with the herb Persicaria senegalense (Polygonaceae)Trop Anim Health Prod.2001Dec;33(6):511-9klin stud 5janeeneeneeGPersicaria senegalenseThe possible remedial effect of Persicaria senegalense in bovine subclinical mastitis was studied by in vitro and in vivo antimicrobial tests, using crude extracts and the leaf in different forms. The in vitro test showed that isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans and Corynebacterium bovis from subclinical cases and an isolate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from a clinical case of mastitis were all inhibited by the three crude extracts at 820 g concentration. An in vivo trial feeding 1.5 kg of the cooked leaf per day for 5 days did not give a significant cure rate, whereas a second trial in which 0.77 kg of leaf powder, equivalent to 3 kg of wet leaf, was fed per day for 5 days resulted in an apparent cure rate of 92.8% (52.8% actual as there was a 40% spontaneous cure rate in the negative control group, in contrast to 80% (40% actual) in the positive control group treated with an intramammary antibiotic preparation.

Our results show that the use of ointments made with ethanolic extracts of leaves of Senna alata, Lantana camara and Mitracarpus scaber, as topical treatments on chronic crusty or acute lesions of dermatophilosis, induces healing of the disease in the nine infected animals treated without recurrence. This is opposed to what is observed by using oxytetracycline, terramycin long-acting (TLA), or procaine-penicillin, antibiotics commonly used parenterally for the treatment of dermatophilosis in the Republic of Benin which could not prevent the recurrence of the disease.
Allan PBilkei GOregano improves reproductive performance of sowsTheriogenology2005Feb;63(3):716-21klin stud 5neejaneeneeGOregpig (oregano)Natural herbs are being explored as alternatives to antimicrobials. The objective of the present study was to determine the effect of strategic addition of oregano to prefarrowing and lactation diets of sows under field conditions. Alternate farrowing groups were given diets containing 1000ppm oregano (dried leaf and flower of Origanum vulgare, enriched with 500g/kg of cold-pressed essential oils of O. vulgare) in prefarrowing and lactation diets. Overall, 801 oregano-treated sows, including 601 primiparous and 1200 multiparous (parity 2.99 ± 0.43, mean ± S.E.) and 1809 untreated control sows (705 primiparous and 1104 multiparous; parity 3.04 ± 0.38), were used. Sows fed oregano had lower annual sow mortality rate (4.02 ± 0.4% versus 6.92 ± 1.11%, mean ± S.E.; P = 0.003), lower sow culling rate during lactation (8.01 ± 1.11% versus 14.02 ± 1.33%, P = 0.02), increased farrowing rate (77.02 ± 2.31% versus 69.91 ± 2.32%, P = 0.01), increased number of liveborn piglets per litter (10.49 ± 1.5 versus 9.95 ± 1.22, P < 0.05), and decreased stillbirth rate (0.909 ± 0.01 versus 0.807 ± 0.01, P = 0.05).
Allen PCLydon J, Danforth HDEffects of components of Artemisia annua on coccidia infections in chickensPoult Sci.199776:1156-1163klin stud 5neeneejaneePArtemisia annuaFour experiments were run to test the anticoccidial activity of dried Artemisia annua leaves and several of their chemical constituents for possible use as prophylactic feed additives. When fed over a period of 3 wk at a level of 5%, a dried leaf supplement of A. annua provided significant protection against lesions due to Eimeria tenella but not Eimeria acervulina or Eimeria maxima. When fed over a period of 5 wk at a level of 1% to chicks undergoing immunization with a live vaccine, it provided significant protection in partially immunized chicks against E. acervulina and E. tenella lesions from a dual species challenge infection.
Allen PCDanforth HD, Augustine PCDietary modulation of avian coccidiosisInt J Parasitol.1998Jul; 28(7):1131-40klin stud 5neeneejaneePArtemisia annua, lijnzaadolie, kurkumaDuring the past several years, our laboratory has been investigating the anticoccidial activities of various natural products that have potential use as dietary supplements for coccidiosis control. Sources of fats containing high concentrations of n-3 fatty acids such as menhaden oil and flaxseed oil and flaxseed, when added to starter rations and fed to chicks from one day of age, effectively reduce lesions caused by the caecal parasite Eimeria tenella, but not lesions caused by Eimeria maxima. Our results are consistent with reports of effects of diets high in n-3 fatty acids on other protozoan parasites which suggest that the state of oxidative stress induced by these diets in the cells of both host and parasites is responsible for their parasitic actions.

All rooms were mechanically ventilated and had fully-slatted floors with slurry channels beneath. De-Odorase® was added to the diet of the treated groups of pigs at the rates recommended by the suppliers, e.g. for grower feed, 65 g/t. De-Odorase® was also added daily (3.2 g suspended in 10 l of water) to the upstream ends of the slurry channels. Once a week, the ammonia concentration in the air inside each fattening room was measured at each of four positions, using Dräger tubes, and the ventilation rate was computed from the cross-sectional area of each fan outlet and the average velocity of the air emerging from each.

Sows were studied in a unit where alternate farrowing groups were given diets containing 1000 ppm oregano in the prefarrowing and lactation diet. Oregano-treated groups showed a lower (P = 0.003) annual sow mortality rate, a lower (P = 0.03) sow culling rate during lactation, an increased (P = 0.01) subsequent farrowing rate, and more (P = 0.05) live-born piglets per litter compared with the nontreated sows. The conclusion was that dietary oregano supplementation improved the reproductive performance of sows in this herd.

Awati A Prebiotics in piglet nutritionProefschrift2005 klin stud 4neejaneeneeA4saccharomyces (KH uit gistcelwanden)The generalized theory behind the carbohydrate to protein fermentation in the GIT is that in presence of fermentable carbohydrate substrate, microbes prefer to ferment carbohydrate source to derive energy and use the nitrogen available for their own growth. With this background information, it was hypothesized that inclusion of fermentable carbohydrates in the piglet diet will reduce the protein fermentation, which will be confirmed by reduced levels of ammonia and branched chain fatty acids in end product profile of the fermentation. The aim of this thesis was to study the effects of inclusion of fermentable carbohydrates in weaning piglets’ diet, on GIT fermentation and any changes in microbial community composition and activity.

Friendship B Swine research at Guelph: Exploring alternatives to antibioticsLondon Swine Conference2002 klin stud 4neejaneeneeA2 The era of antibiotics in livestock feed for growth promotion and control of enteric disease may be coming to an end. In order to prepare for this possible development, researchers at the University of Guelph have been exploring a wide range of possible alternative approaches. These include genetic selection for disease resistance, genetic modification so that animals produce antimicrobial factors, and other methods of immune stimulation. As well, we are studying ways to modify the diet that encourages beneficial bacteria and discourages pathogens, and additions to the diet of beneficial bacteria or immunoglobulins to provide passive protection. This paper examines specific work relating to alternative approaches to control of postweaning E.

Polysaccharides were extracted using the hot water method. The mushrooms had lower polysaccharide yields (8 to 10%) than the herb (31%). Fermentation kinetics were determined using the in vitro cumulative gas production technique. End-products, such as gas, volatile fatty acids (VFA), and ammonia, were also determined. The gas profiles of intact materials were similar for AstS and LenS. The TreS had a diphasic digestion pattern. The extracts had similar profiles to the intact materials though gas production rates were faster.

The possibility of developing resistant populations of bacteria and the side effects of using antibiotics as growth promoters in the farm animals has led to the recent EU-ban on the use of several antibiotics as growth promoters in poultry diets. Therefore, there is an intensive search for alternatives such as probiotics, prebiotics and other feed additives. Immuno-active polysaccharides derived from two mushrooms, Tremella fuciformis (TreS) and Lentinus edodes (LenS), and the herb Astragalus membranacea Radix (AstS), seem to be potential alternatives for antimicrobial growth and health promoters.

Hensel ALengsfeld C, Faller GOkra polysaccharides inhibit adhesion of Campylobacter jejuni to mucosa from poultry in situ but not in vivo within infection studyPlanta Med200672klin stud 5neeneejaneeJokraWith a potential use of prophylactic functional food additives to animal feed, the application of antiadhesive compounds against the gastrointestinal docking of pathogenic microorganisms is increasingly under discussion. High-molecular glycosylated compounds (polysaccharides and glycoproteins) isolated from the immature fruits of the okra plant, Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) MOENCH, were shown to have a strong antiadhesive activity against Helicobacter pylori, leading to an inhibition of binding to mucosal epithelia from human stomach in situ. In order to evaluate a further potential use these polymers were additionally tested concerning the adhesion of Campylobacter jejuni towards intestinal epithelia derived from chicken, the transducer of this germ to humans.

The first three weeks performance of birds fed a high nutrient diet supplemented with PFA or GPA was significantly superior to those birds fed an unsupplemented diet. Therefore to achieve maximum benefit, PFA's should be included in high nutrient specification broiler starter diets from 0-3 weeks of age. In contrast, PFA supplementation of low nutrient specification diet was more beneficial from 4-6 weeks.

Feed and water were provided for ad libitum consumption. 2. Feed intake, weight gain and feed:gain ratio were not different among the treatments. Water intake was significantly lowered by cinnamaldehyde. Relative liver weight (g/100 g of body weight) was highest in birds given thymol, but this was seen only at the age of 21 d and not at 40 d. Patterns of digestive enzymes in pancreatic tissue were similar for the 4 treatments. 3. Amylase activity in intestinal digesta was highest in chickens given CRINA® Poultry for 21 d, but the effect had disappeared after 40 d.

Losa R The use of essential oils in animal nutritionhttp://ressources.ciheam.org/om/pdf/c54/01600009.pdf  klin stud 3jajajaneeA2CrinaThe potential of essential oils (EO) in animal nutrition is discussed with some selected examples obtained with the blends produced by CRINA SA. Synergistic effects of EO on endogenous enzyme production and on microbial flora are used to increase animal performances. In ruminants, blends can be created that significantly reduce rumen ammonia production and increase protein by-pass. In monogastrics, the effect on the colonisation of the guts by different bacteria (Clostridium perfringens in poultry and haemolytic E. coli in pigs) will be shown. The effects on feed efficiency and daily weight gain in pigs are shown as a model for the expected effects on animal performances. Zie ook http://ressources.ciheam.org/om/pdf/c54/01600009.pdf

Dies führte dazu, daß eine Vielzahl von Arzneistoffen nicht mehr für die Therapie zur Verfügung stehen. So hat der Verlust der Nitrofurane (Furazolidon, Nitrofurantoin, Furaltadon), der Nitroimidazole (Ronidazol, Metronidazol, Dimetridazol) und Chloramphenicol für die Therapie von lebensmittelliefernden Tieren und der hieraus zwangsläufig verstärkten Nutzung der verbleibenden Antibiotika zu einer beachtlichen Resistenzsteigerung beigetragen.

Steiner TWegleitner KGut management in Poultry: update on natural growth promotershttp://www.engormix.com2007, mei klin stud 4neeneejaneeA2P.E.P. 1000 (Biomin)Several feeding strategies may be implemented to assist in promoting health and performance status in poultry production. Acidification of diets prevents microbial contamination and may stimulate growth performance. Combined administration of probiotics and prebiotics has the potential to accelerate the establishment of a beneficial gut microflora, which protects the host from invasion by pathogens. Supplementation of diets with specific NSP-degrading enzymes improves litter quality as well as nutrient and energy digestibilities. The use of phytogenics may stabilize the gut microflora to a certain extent. Most of the effects of the Natural Growth Promoters depend on the age of the animals as well as on the dosages at which these ingredients are included in the feed.

However there is a trend towards higher mortality in the herbal group. The results of the previous project “Kruiden in de Kraamstal” showed opposite results, namely that mortality was lower in the herbal group. The largest part of the farms shows a higher average growth for the piglets in the treatment group. However it is not clear whether this difference can be attributed to the use of one or both of the herb mixtures. The difference in growth between the two groups is not significant, due to a farm effect.

Gram-negative organisms are slightly less susceptible than gram-positive bacteria. A number of EO components has been identified as effective antibacterials, e.g. carvacrol, thymol, eugenol, perillaldehyde, cinnamaldehyde and cinnamic acid, having minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 0.05-5 µl ml-1 in vitro. A higher concentration is needed to achieve the same effect in foods. Studies with fresh meat, meat products, fish, milk, dairy products, vegetables, fruit and cooked rice have shown that the concentration needed to achieve a significant antibacterial effect is around 0.5-20 µl g-1 in foods and about 0.1-10 µl ml-1 in solutions for washing fruit and vegetables.

IRAS, Utrecht2007 klin stud 4neeneejaneeA3oregano-olie (carvacrol)Ziekteverwekkende bacteriën in voedsel zoals E. coli en salmonella kunnen ernstige ontstekingen in het maag-darmstelsel veroorzaken. In oregano-olie blijkt een bestanddeel te zitten (carvacrol) dat ervoor zorgt dat bacteriën meer moeite hebben om zich in de darm van mensen en dieren te nestelen. Dit zegt Sara Burt in haar proefschrift. Met deze eigenschap kan carvacrol als antibacteriële toevoeging in voedingsmiddelen of veevoeder gebruikt worden. Een van de voordelen van het gebruik van etherische oliën om bacteriën op voedsel te remmen is dat ze ook in de vorm van een damp toegepast kunnen worden. Het hoeft dan niet vermengd te worden met het uiteindelijke voedselproduct, zoals dat met veel andere conserveringsmiddelen wel gebeurt.

Harmon RJ Milk quality issues: what does it take to get somatic cell count down to 100.000 and keep it there?http://www.engormix.com2002 SjaneeneeneeG Mastitis continues to be the most costly disease problem in the dairy industry. Control of the contagious pathogens Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus agalactiae through effective programs of milking hygiene, dry cow therapy, postmilking use of germicidal teat dips and culling chronic cows has resulted in the eradication of S. agalactiae from many dairy herds and markedly reduced incidence of S. aureus. However, herds which have effectively controlled contagious pathogens and routinely produce milk of high quality with low bulk tank somatic cell counts may still suffer losses due to infections by environmental mastitis pathogens. In addition, such herds may experience seasonal or management-related outbreaks that increase the bulk tank somatic cell count accompanied by increased incidence of clinical cases.
Windisch WSchedle K, Plitzner C, Kroismayr AUse of phytogenic products as feed additives for swine and poultryJ Anim Sci200886:E140-E148Sneejajanee  This article summarizes experimental knowledge on efficacy, possible modes of action, and aspects of application of phytogenic products as feed additives for swine and poultry. Phytogenic feed additives comprise a wide variety of herbs, spices, and products derived thereof, and are mainly essential oils. The assumption that phytogenic compounds might improve palatability of feed has not been confirmed yet by choice feeding studies. Although numerous studies have been demonstrating antioxidative and antimicrobial efficacy in vitro, respective experimental in vivo evidence is still quite limited. The same applies to the supposition that phytogenic compounds may specifically enhance activities of digestive enzymes and nutrient absorption.

On the one hand, it is toxic at high doses and there is a great body of information related to environmental issues of Se contamination. On the other hand, Se deficiency is a global problem related to an increased susceptibility to various diseases of animals and humans and decreased productive and reproductive performance of farm animals. Optimisation of Se nutrition of poultry and farm animals will result in increased efficiency of egg, meat and milk production and even more important, will improve quality. From the data presented in the review it is clear that the main lesson which we have to learn from nature is how to use organic selenium in animal and human diets.

Effects of immunization and EP supplementation on weight gains before challenge, and weight gains, lesion scores and plasma levels of carotenoids and NO2-+NO3- following challenge were determined. In this experiment, combined live vaccination and feed supplementation with 0.1% or 0.5% EP during the first 2 weeks of life provided significant weight gain advantage compared to live vaccination alone.

Two separate experiments were performed in which part of the broilers used were infected with Eimeria tenella. In each experiment there were three treatment groups: a negative control group fed the basal diet and two infected groups fed the basal diet without or with a commercial MOS preparation. The infection of the broiler chickens was successful as based on the caecal lesions, oocyst shedding and schizonts in the lamina propria of the caecum, but did not affect growth performance of the birds.

One-day-old birds were given a single, mild coccidiosis infection with a mixture of three Eimeria species: Eimeria acervulina, Eimeria maxima and Eimeria tenella. Infected and non-infected birds were fed a diet without or with 10 g MOS/kg. Growth performance, feed intake and feed conversion were not different (P>0.05) among the treatment groups. The feeding of the MOS preparation reduced oocyst excretion and diminished the severity of coccidiosis lesions induced by E. acervulina (P<0.05) but did not affect the lesions mediated by E.

Uninfected chicks fed betaine exhibited almost twice the levels of betaine in the gut as infected chicks. Plasma betaine levels were lower in E. maxima-infected chicks than in E. acervulina-or Eimeria tenella-infected chicks. Betaine supplementation reversed the decrease in weight gain in E. maxima- infected chicks but had no effect on the decrease in weight gains in E acervulina- and E. tenella-infected chicks. Coccidia-infected birds on normal diets regularly exhibit increases in plasma NO 2 +NO 3.

In the first experiment, chicks were fed corn-soy diets containing 0.0, 0.5 or 1.0 g/kg betaine; half were challenged with Eimeria acervulina (Cocci). Cocci decreased weight gain and feed efficiency and increased the osmolarity of the duodenal and jejunal mucosa (P < 0.01). Betaine decreased osmolarity of the duodenum (P < 0.01), especially in Cocci-challenged birds.

Day-old broiler chicks were fed regular or probiotic diets supplemented with MitoMax at 0.01%, 0.1%, or 1.0% of diet, and challenged two weeks later with 5,000 oocysts of either Eimeria acervulina (EA) or Eimeria tenella (ET). The birds fed 0.1% of MitoMax-supplemented diet and infected with EA exhibited higher (P < 0.001) serum Eimeria-specific antibodies than other groups though their oocyst shedding and weight gains were not clearly improved. These results demonstrate that MitoMax may enhance the resistance of birds against coccidiosis by enhancing humoral immunity when included at 0.1% of the broiler diet.

Combretum woodii (160 mg/kg) proved to be extremely toxic to the birds, while treatment with Tulbaghia violacea (35 g/kg), Vitis vinifera (75 mg/kg) and Artemisia afra (150 mg/kg) resulted in feed conversion ratios similar to toltrazuril, and higher than the untreated control. T. violacea also significantly decreased the oocyst production in the birds. From this study we conclude that antioxidant-rich plant extracts have potential benefits in treating coccidial infections. The promising results obtained with T. violacea justify further studies on the potential value of the plant as a therapeutic or prophylactic anticoccidial agent.

Yang YIji PA, Choct MDietary modulation of gut microflora in broiler chickens: a review of the role of six kinds of alternatives to in-feed antibioticsWorld's Poultry Sc J200965:97-114SneeneejaneeA3, A4, Pprobiotica, prebiotica, mannanoligosaccharides, symbiotica, fytobioticaSince in-feed antibiotics (IFAs) are being taken out of broiler diets around the world, beginning in Sweden in the year 1986, the search for alternatives to replace IFAs has gained increasing interest in animal nutrition. Gut microflora appears to be the target for IFAs and alternatives to exert health benefits and some growth-promoting effects. In this review the effect of six kinds of alternatives to IFAs on gut microflora is discussed and their working mechanisms and growth-promoting effects are reviewed. This review focuses on mannanoligosaccharides (MOS) as alternative to antibiotics using research results obtained by various authors in recent years.

Lee SHet al.Protective effects of dietary safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) on experimental coccidiosisJ of Poultry Sci20092:155-162klin stud 5neeneejaneePsaffraanThis study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary safflower leaf on protective immunity against coccidiosis, the most economically important parasitic disease of poultry. White Leghorn chickens were fed a standard diet with or without safflower leaf and were either uninfected or orally infected with 5,000 sporulated oocysts of Eimeria acervulina. Protective immunity was assessed by body weight gain, fecal oocyst shedding, splenic lymphocytes proliferation, T lymphocyte subpopulations, and proinflammatory cytokine gene expression. We observed that the effect of safflower on experimental coccidiosis was dependant on the dose of the supplement used. A 0.1% (wt/wt) safflower-supplemented diet increased body weight gains of coccidia-infected chickens to a level identical to that of uninfected controls, and significantly reduced fecal oocyst shedding compared with animals that were given a non-supplemented standard diet.

It was observed that percent sporulation of oocysts was suppressed (i.e. fewer of them were sporulated) in comparison to oocysts obtained from unmedicated-infected chicks. There was no effect on sporulation time of oocysts between medicated and unmedicated groups. Reduced infectivity of sporulated oocysts was observed on the basis of lower lesion score, higher survivability and depressed oocysts production. Zycox and AV/CCP/12 caused reduction in the sporulation percentage of oocysts.

IHP-250C and AV/CPP/12 against caecal coccidiosis caused by Eimeria tenella. Results of the trial indicated both the herbal anticoccidals were effective against clinical coccidiosis. IHP-250C 0.4% showed performance index (PI) 276 and average total oocyst production of 1.26 (million/bird). Weight gain record of uninfected-medicated group suggested that the drugs may have acted as growth promoters improving carcass characteristics. Histopathological finding revealed that drugs arrested the gametocytic stages of coccidia. This might be the cause of reduced oocyst output. The trial concluded that at higher (0.4%) concentration, both the drugs can be successfully used as a prophylactic in field conditions against caecal coccidiosis in broilers.

The extract bound ammonia in aqueous solution when concentrations of ammonia were low (up to 0.4 mM) and when the extract was added at a high concentration to the sample (20%, vol/vol). The apparent ammonia-binding capability was retained after autoclaving and was decreased slightly following dialysis. Acid-precipitated extract was inactive. No evidence of substantial ammonia binding was found at higher ammonia concentrations (up to 30 mM). When Y. shidigera extract (1%, vol/vol) was added to strained rumen fluid in vitro, a small (6%) but significant (P < 0.05) decrease in ammonia concentration occurred, apparently because of decreased proteolysis.

Int.Vol200714(2):147-151klin stud 5neeneejaneeA3Curcumine en Mariadistel (silymarin)The present study was undertaken to evaluate the hepatoprotective effect of curcumin and silymarin alone and in combination, against aflatoxicosis in male broiler chicken. Liver damage was assessed by quantifying the serum levels of Total Protein, Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) supported by histopathological examination. Aflatoxin administration at 1 ppm level resulted in increase in serum ALT and AST, decrease in total serum protein with varying degrees of liver damage ranging from diffuse vacuolar degeneration of hepatocytes, necrosis and tendency for fibrosis. Curcumin (10mg, 20mg) and silymarin (500ppm, 1000ppm) produced dose dependant improvement in all the parameters studied and they were more or less similar in their hepatoprotective effect.

This study investigated the influence of a natural extract of chestnut wood (Silvafeed ENC) on broiler digestibility (experiment 1) and on the growth performance, carcass quality, and nitrogen balance of broilers (experiment 2). Results showed that the inclusion of ENC did not influence the apparent digestibility of organic matter, CP, and ether extract. Chick growth performance showed a quadratic or cubic response with increasing levels of ENC. When chicks were fed ENC from 14 to 56 d of age, the ENC had a positive effect on average daily gain in the first 2 wk of addition, whereas this effect was not evident in the last 2 wk compared with the control group.
