A recent review on botanical alternatives to antibiotics for use in organic poultry production highlights the issues of antibiotic resistance (from sub therapeutic use of antibiotics in poultry feed) and consumer concerns of residue contamination and antibiotic resistant bacterial pathogens in the USA (Diaz-Sanchez etal 2015) (44). Similar concerns have led to a ban on antibiotic use in Europe since 2006 (Varmuzova etal 2015)(45)
In a 2010 review on dietary plant bioactives in poultry health and productivity the authors state there is increasing evidence indicating that plant medicines can be efficient in controlling poultry diseases and may also influence production parameters such as feed efficiency and product quality and replicate some of the effects of antibiotic growth promoters (Wallace etal 2010)(46). Chinese herbal medicines have been investigated for their effects on common diseases in poultry for example common formulas are known to be immunomodulating (Li etal 2013)(47) and herbs are a rich source of lead compounds for antiviral treatments including Marek’s (Sun etal 2014)(48). Ginseng has been shown to have activity against Infectious Bursal Disease (IBD), caused by infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) which is of global economic importance in poultry. Oral administration of a ginseng extract enhances both humoral and gut mucosal immune responses to IBD vaccination and offers a better protection against virulent IBDV challenge and therefore might be a promising oral adjuvant for vaccination against infectious diseases in poultry (Zhai etal 2014)(49). Hypericum perforatum was shown to have a protective effect against unvaccinated chickens infected with IBDV with significant therapeutic efficacy (Shang etal 2012)(50).
Bozkurt etal 2013 review the use of botanical extracts in the control of coccidial infection in poultry with some plants and their respective volatile oils and extracts having the potential to alleviate coccidiosis and reduce its severity(51). The use of plant extracts to control poultry helminths is also increasing and herbs like ginger and curcumin have been shown (in vivo) to have potential anthelmintic effects against Ascaridia galli (Bazh etal 2013)(52). There is also a growing interest in the use of essential oils to control ectoparasites. In particular the economic impact of the poultry red mite, Dermanyssus gallinae as well as the lack of new acaricides and the occurrence of resistance and tighter legislation have driven research in this area (Nechita etal 2015)(53). Aflatoxins are also a concern in poultry production and plants such as turmeric and Sea Buckthorn have been shown to have a protective effect against toxicity (Gholami-Ahangaran etal 2016, Solcan etal 2013)(54,55).
Petition Appendix IX-F outlines a sample of 40 abstracts of 846 journal articles demonstrating selected publications on botanical medicine research in poultry.
