Effects of ginger ethanol extract on growth performance, antioxidant capacity and intestinal microbiota of broilers.

ABSTRACT: Ginger ethanol extract (GEE), an oily bioactive compound derived with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that is extracted from ginger through ethanol extraction, remains unexplored in terms of its effect on broiler growth and antioxidant mechanism. This study aimed to optimize the extraction process of GEE and evaluate the effect of various concentrations of GEE on growth performance, antioxidant capacity, and intestinal microbiota in broilers. The optimal extraction conditions were: solid-liquid ratio of 8 mL/g using 75 % ethanol, 1 h extraction time. In this condition, the main compound 6-gingerol in GEE reached 10.01 mg/g. A total of 240 one-day-old white feather 817 broilers were assigned to 4 groups with 6 replicates of 10 chickens each: control (basal diet), 0.1 %, 0.2 % a
