This study aims to inventory the medicinal plants in Jabal al-Wahsh forest and to find out the extent of people's interest in medicinal and aromatic plants.
In our study, we relied on two types of interrogations, the first directed at the general pu
blic, and the second directed at herbal sellers, and through it we concluded that there is an increase in the popular demand for medication with herbs and medicinal and aromatic plants, as well as their conviction of the efficacy of treatment for many diseases.
This research carried out in the Video Center for Research on Animal Production of
the Faculty of Agriculture at Tishreen University with the beginning of the summer of
2010 in order to study the possibility of improving the performance of broiler
chickens
under the conditions of the coastal area and increase economic returns.
Search Results showed that the addition of black bean and thyme powder by 0.5% to a
low-energy diet led to increased average live weight of age (9-28) days totaled 864.9 g
G3)) compared to the control (without the addition), which amounted to an average live
weight has 850.7) g) of the same age
FCR feed conversion ratio stood at 2.63 at the group G1, compared with 1.89 when the
Control CSearch results also showed that the addition of 0.25% of the black bean and
thyme powder led to the live weight increase of 848.6, compared with 670.7 members G1)
g) FCR feed conversion ratio stood at 1.96 at the G4 Group added (0.25% of the black
bean powder and thyme), compared with 2.63 at the G1 group.
The study aimed to estimate water requirements for Anise, the crop
coefficient, and the effect of three water stress treatments out of full irrigation
amount respectively) on its yield
The microbiological limits are considered to be one of the quality
criteria that affect pharmaceutical. Herbal drug medicine is of some
specialty since their raw material contains a high bioburden.
According to pharmacopoeia, Herbal drugs are main
ly whole,
fragmented or cut, plants, parts of plants, algae, fungi, lichen in an
unprocessed state, usually in dried form but sometimes fresh.
The search includes determining genus and species according
to the flower's type and outside forms. So , 24 land medical species
belong to 20 genus, all from Asteraceae, that is according to some
references, registries and Atlas especially that one which studied
turning this region into flowering one.
Antimicrobial compounds have been used for decades in poultry diets to increase
performance and decrease morbidity particularly in broiler chickens. However, consumer
pressure related to the potential development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria ha
s resulted in
the development of non-antibiotic feed additives that may also improve broiler erformance.
In recent years, aromatic plants and their extracts have received attention as growth and
health promoters. Such products have several advantages over commonly used commercial
antibiotics since they are residue free and they are also, generally recognized as safe and
commonly used items in the food industry. The antimicrobial properties of medical plants
and their extracts have been widely reported because they consist of many active
ompounds such as carvacrol, eugenol,which partition lipids in the bacterial cell wall and
mitochondria, disturbing the structures and rendering them more permeable.
Generally,medical plants are slightly more active against Gram-positive than Gramnegative
bacteria. Medical plants are well known for their antioxidant activity and show a
considerable effect on increasing the antioxidant capacity of chicken meat because they
consist of many of active compounds such as tocopherol, carvacrol. Spices or their active
principles have been reported to stimulate digestive secretions such as lipase, amylase and
proteases.because they consist of many active compounds such as anothol, eugenol.
Variable effects of medical plants and their extracts on the productive performance of
broiler have been reported. The majority of experimental results indicate improved body
weight gain or final body weight and feed conversion ratio.
