Abstract:

To study the anticoccidial and antioxidant effects of garlic powder (GP) and total sulfur amino acid (TSAA) on growth performance, faecal oocyst output, oxidative stress indicators and antioxidant status markers in broiler chickens, a 2 × 2 × 2 splitplot-factorial arrangement of treatments was used. A total of 480-day-old male broiler chickens were equally assigned to two plots. Two hundred forty chickens were challenged with Eimeria oocysts species mix by oral inoculation at day 34 (infected plot) and the other half was left unchallenged. In each plot, chickens were randomly assigned to four treatments with 5 replicates of 12 birds each, and fed one of the following diets: basal diet, basal diet plus 0.5% GP, basal diet plus 50% more TSAA, basal diet plus 0.5% GP and 50% more TSAA. The results showed that inoculation with 7.5 × 102 oocysts of Eimeria mixed species significantly reduced growth performance (P

Antioxidant status of broiler chickens, infected with Eimeria acervulina

Under usual conditions, the production of reactive free radicals and their elimination are in a dynamic equilibrium. This balance could be disturbed when the generation of free radicals becomes higher than the protection capacity of systemic antioxidant defence. The impaired equilibrium in favour of oxidants is named oxidative stress and it is involved in the pathogenesis of numerous diseases, ...

Antioxidant effects of sulfur-containing amino acids.

Sulfur is an essential element for the entire biological kingdom because of its incorporation into amino acids, proteins and other biomolecules. Sulfur atoms are also important in the iron-containing flavoenzymes. Unlike humans, plants can use inorganic sulfur to synthesize sulfur-containing amino acids. Therefore, plants are an important source of sulfur for humans. Sulfur-containing compounds...
