This study was conducted to explore the benefit of adding synthetic and natural antioxidants nutritional additives in drinking water to increase broiler resistance to heat stress in the hot summer climate on productive performance, and physiological status. A total of 600 chicks of broiler (Ross-308) were distributed into ten treatments, each treatment with three replicates of 20 chicks. The treatments of study are: T0: (Positive control: drinking water without adding-DW)- without heat stress, treatments exposed to heat stress: [T1: (Negative control: drinking water without adding-DW, but exposed to heat stress), T2: (100 mg BHT/1 L DW) (BHT – butylhydroxytoluene: synthetic antioxidant), T3: (100 mg vit E/1 L DW) (synthetic antioxidant), T4: (200 mg saffron/1 L DW) (natural antioxidant, T5: (200 mg curcumin/1 L DW), T6: (100 mg saffron+ 50 mg BHT/1 L DW), T7: (100 mg saffron+50 mg vit E/1 L DW), T8: (100 mg curcumin+ 50 mg BHT/1 L DW), T9: (100 mg curcumin+ 50 mg vit E/1 L DW)]. Data of the study analyses and display that the synthetic and natural antioxidants nutritional additives had significantly decreases in the temperature of body parts surface (head, back, under wings, cloaca), general body temperature, mortality%, Malondialdehyde (MDA), heat shock proteins (HSP-40 and HSP -70), Corticosterone hormone concentration in the blood serum and heterophiles: lymphocytes (H/L) ratio. However, body weight, body weight gain, Production index (PI), feasibility (economic profit), water intake (WI), Glutathione Peroxidase (GSH-Px), super oxide dismutase (SOD), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), Newcastle (ND), Infectious bursal (IBD) diseases and Infection bronchitis virus (IB), so feed conversion ratio (FCR) had significantly improved in the all treatments of water additive in the treatments of positive control T0 compared with the negative control T1. Whereas, feed intake had non-significant differences among all treatments of the study. In all traits of the study natural antioxidant additives: saffron and curcumin additives seen superiorly

This study was conducted to under seek the incidence of some neurotransmitters in drinking water and native medicinal flowers (Alecea Kurdica – Gule Hero and Chamomile) flowers as diet additives on body growth and immune of broiler. 720 one day unsexed hatched chicks will distributed into 12 treatments, each treatment with three replicates (20 chicks), as following: T0 (control -standard diet), [T1 (0.2 g Endorphin), T2 (0.2 g Dopamine) and T3 (0.2 g Serotonin)/ L drinking water], [T4 )0.5 kg Hero flower) and T5) 0.5 kg Chamomile flower)/ 100 kg diet], T6 )0.2 g Endorphin+0.5 kg Hero flower(, T7 (0.2 g Dopamine+0.5 kg Hero flower(, T8 )0.2 g Serotonin+ 0.5 kg Hero flower(, T9 (0.2 g Endorphin+0.5 kg Chamomile flower), T10 (0.2 g/ Dopamine+0.5 kg Chamomile flower), T11= 0.2 g/ L Serotonin/ L drinking water + 0.5 kg Chamomile flower/ 100 kg diet. The addition of neurotransmitters and native flowers additives as immune modulator had significantly affected on body weight, body weight gain and production index and led to to significant increase (P≤ 0.01) in relative weights of spleen, Bursa of fabricius, Thymus and antibodies titer against ND and IB diseases, also decreased the stress ratio which represented by heterophil/ lymphocyte (H/L) especially in T3 and T11.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the benefit of magnetically treated water (MTW) using in Awassi ewe’s farm during pre- and post-partum on lactating and some blood biochemical traits determination. This experiment was carried out in a private sheep raising sector, from September to December of 2021. Twenty-four Awassi ewes at 120-d of gestation, age 2.5-3-year, live weight of 50-55 kg, the ewes were distributed on four treatments: T0 the control (served drinking well water), T1 (magnetized water by using a device at strength 2000 gauss), T2 (magnetized water by using a device at strength 4000 gauss) and T3 (magnetized water by using a device at strength 6000 gauss).The results of using magnetically treated water led to increasing milk yield, improving milk physical (freezing point, PH) and chemical (fat, protein, lactose, SNF) characteristics, also improving the blood biochemical parameters concentration (total protein, HDL, oxidative enzyme LDH- Lactate dehydrogenase), however the MTW treatments led to decreasing the concentration of (creatinine, RBS (Glucose), total cholesterol (TCH), LDL and triglycerides (TG), enzymes: AST, ALT and ALP) concentrations at both pre- and post-partum periods in the all treatments of MTW compared with control T0. Finally, the results of 6000 gauss treated water show separatory then 4000 gauss in all parameters of the study.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of adding ginkgo biloba (GB) and curcumin extracts in rabbit drinking water, as growth promoter, serum biochemistry, antioxidant enzyme activities and immunoglobin statues. A total of 40 New Zealand White rabbit (NZW) at 5 weeks of age assigned to 4 treatments with four replicates. Gingko biloba (T2) and Curcumin extracts (T3) and their mix (T4) had no significantly differences among all treatments in initial weight, feed and water intake, also in body temperature. While, body weight and body weight gain had significantly (P≤0.05) increased in the all groups of water additive compared with control (T1). As well as FCR (feed conversion ratio) had significantly (P≤0.05) improved in the treatments T2, T3 and T4, compared with the control group T1. Otherwise, the heart rate (beat) was significantly (P≤0.01) decreased in the treatments respectively compared with the control T1. Quite good results were achieved that approve the curcumin and ginkgo biloba extract has a direct influence on the production and blood parameter, improve immunoglobins and antioxidant enzymes concentrations in blood serum.

The present trial was conducted to investigate the effect of using bay leaf powder and its oil on male semen characteristics, female reproductive traits, plasma hormonal alteration and hatchability of local quails. The results were summarized the uses of different levels of bay leaf (Laurel nobilis L.) and its oil as feed additives in quail diets were significantly (P≤0.05) higher in body weight, testis relative weight, gonadosomatic index, size area of cloaca gland, ejaculate volume, sperm concentration, mass motility, individual motility, live & normal morphology sperm, semen quality factor, seminal plasma testosterone and LH hormones in quail males. Also in females: egg production (H.D %), egg weight, egg mass, eggshell strength, normal eggs for hatching, fertility, hatching of fertile and total eggs, weight of hatched chicks, blood plasma of estrogen, LH and FSH hormones concentrations, also improved in FCR and H/L ratio. While, the results seemed significantly (P≤0.05) lower in dead sperm. Females in: cracked eggs, total dead embryos. Whereas there were non-significant differences among all treatment in males: mortality, left-right testicular weight ratio, testicular shape index, FSH hormone, also females in: feed Intake. From the results of bay leaf oil additives had positively effect on body performance, males and females' reproductive parameters, improved blood hormones and hatchability more effective than bay leaf powder

This study was conducted to investigate the potential of onion and garlic oils and their mixture supplementation under heat stress on the egg production, egg weight, total lipid concentration and antioxidant activity of local quail hens. Sixty birds at 42 weeks' age were evenly divided randomly into 4 treatments: feed in control (T0) free of onion and garlic oil, T1 and T2 were supplemented 0.2% in each onion or garlic oil, T3 was supplemented mixture of (0.1% onion + 0.1% garlic oil) respectively. The birds reared in temperature-controlled room (35-38°C) at afternoon. The results of enzymatically analysis of catalase, superoxide dismutase, Glutathion-Px activity concentrations, egg production percentage, egg weight and egg mass had significantly higher (P≤0.05) in the most treatments of onion and garlic oils and their mixture supplemented diet. While, significantly lower (P≤0.05) in total cholesterol, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and Malondialdehyde (MDA) in onion and garlic oils and their mixture supplemented diet compared with control of blood serum, liver tissue and egg yolk of quail hens under heat stress.
