The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of ginger extract (GE) as a dietary supplement for laying hens. A total of 40-week-old 288 Hyline Brown laying hens were randomly divided into two groups with six replicates, and fed a basal diet with or without 100 g/t GE for eight weeks. Dietary GE supplementation increased egg weight, albumin height, and Haugh unit of eggs, and decreased yolk cholesterol content and activities of alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase in serum at eight weeks. Moreover, GE resulted in higher total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) activity and lower malondialdehyde (MDA) content in yolk at four and eight weeks and in serum. It was concluded that GE was effective in increasing egg weight and improving the egg quality and antioxidant status of laying hens.

Abstract Background: This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of montmorillonite combined organic acid (MOA) complex and montmorillonite combined essential oil (MEO) complex on the laying performance and intestinal barrier functions in laying hens. Methods: Two hundred and seventy 29-wk-old laying hens were randomly assigned to 3 treatments consisted of 6 replicates of 15 hens, receiving the following diets for 10 wks, respectively: 1) basal diet; 2) the basal diet added with 0.65 g/kg of MOA complex; 3) the basal diet added with 0.70 g/kg of MEO complex. Results: Dietary supplementation with both MOA and MEO complexes tended to increase (P = 0.094) the hens’ egg production and improved numerically (P > 0.05) the egg mass and feed conversion ratio during 6–10 weeks of the experiment. Dietary MOA and MEO complexes decreased (P < 0.05) the relative amount of Clostridium perfringens and the mRNA expression levels of myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) and interleukin‐1 beta (IL-1β) in the ileum while increased (P < 0.05) the activity of suctase and villus height-to-crypt depth ratio of the ileum. Besides, dietary inclusion of MEO complex increased (P < 0.05) the mRNA expression level of claudin-5 in the ileum. The MOA complex supplementation reduced (P < 0.05) the relative amount of Salmonella and nuclear factor kappa B P65 (NF-κB p65) mRNA expression level of the ileum but enhanced (P < 0.05) the alkaline phosphatase activity in the ileum and villus height-to-crypt depth ratio of the jejunum. Conclusions: Dietary both MOA and MEO complexes could improve the intestinal health status of laying hens, which may contribute to the partially increase in hens’ laying performance.

Illicium verum is a small native evergreen tree of northeast Vietnam, India and southwest China. It is the flower of a medium-sized tree and is also known as star anise belongs to the family of Schisandraceae that grows in North America, Atlantic region, and tropical and subtropical zones of Asia. This study investigated the in vitro cytotoxic effects of essential oil obtained from the flowers of Illicium verum is also known as star anise. Steam distillation method was used to extract oil from the flowers of Illicium verum. Antioxidant activities such as DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl), and ferric reducing power assays were assessed followed by total phenolic contents was estimated by folin-ciocalteau reagent method. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis was used to find out volatile and semi-volatile compounds of essential oil extracted from Illicium verum. Anti-proliferative effect was studied by MTT assay method using MCF 7 and HepG 2 cancer cell lines. The maximum HepG 2 cell death was 25.73 ±0.24 % at 100µg/mL concentration and the IC50 was 194.32±0.24% at 100µg/mL concentration. The maximum MCF 7 cell death was 32.64±0.32% at 100µg/mL concentration and the IC50 was 153.18 ± 0.32% at 100µg/mL concentration.

Essential oils of Origanum majorana L. (marjoram), Illicium verum Hook. f. (star-anise) and Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume (cinnamon) were obtained by steam distillation using a modified Clevenger device. The antimicrobial activity of each oil was evaluated against the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and the fungi Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus by observing their growth and/or mycelial inhibition through comparison with the standard dish (without oil). The essential oils were analyzed using a gas chromatograph coupled to a mass spectrometer for identification and coupled to a flame ionization detector for quantification. The major constituents of marjoram, star-anise and cinnamon essential oils were 4-terpineol, trans-anetole and cinnamic aldehyde, respectively. In in vitro tests, essential oils of marjoram and cinnamon promoted an inhibitory effect on the bacteria S. aureus and E. coli, while the essential oil of star-anise presented activity only against E. coli. Marjoram, star-anise and cinnamon oils were effective against the studied fungi, presenting an inhibitory effect. The minimal inhibitory concentration for the mycelial growth of A. parasiticus was 1 and 0.01 µL mL-1 for star-anise and cinnamon oils, respectively. The minimal inhibitory concentration for A. parasiticus was 0.25, 2 and 2 µL mL-1 for cinnamon, star-anise and marjoram oils, respectively.
