Efficacy and safety of peppermint extract (Mentha Piperita), probiotics, and the co-administration of peppermint plus probiotics in preventing ascites syndrome: A clinical animal study on male broilers Marjan Haghighat-Jahromi, Ebrahim Talebi, Mehdi Naemi, Vahid Rakhshan Journal of Poultry Sciences and Avian Diseases, 2025 Ascites syndrome is a serious and common condition in broilers. Therefore, we aimed to assess the preventive efficacy and safety of peppermint extract, probiotics, and their combination on ascitic broilers versus normal ones. In this clinical animal study, 168 male one-day-old broilers of the Ross 308 strain with similar weights were bred and vaccinated until day 20. On day 21, they were weighed and randomized into 8 groups of 21 broilers each: the negative control (no ascites and no treatments), peppermint extract administration, probiotics consumption, peppermint extract and probiotics co-administration, induced ascites (the positive control), induced ascites + peppermint extract, induced ascites + probiotics, and induced ascites + the co-administration of peppermint and probiotics. Until day 42, medications (levothyroxine, peppermint extract, or probiotics) were applied. On day 42, 10 broilers were randomly selected from each group (n=80), weighed, and blood-sampled. Data were analyzed (α=0.05). Peppermint extract and probiotic administration alone were relatively safe. However, the combination of peppermint extract and probiotics might have deleterious effects in healthy broilers in terms of most of the parameters (AST/ALT/ALP/T3/T4/glucose/ cholesterol/triglycerides/total protein/RBC, P<0.05). In ascitic broilers, peppermint extract almost always had a positive therapeutic effect, either improving the parameters of the control levels or improving some levels between the control and diseased (all parameters except ALP and RBC). Probiotics had several such positive effects as well (in the case of AST, ALT, T3, T4, glucose, BUN, uric acid, total protein, albumin, globulin, hematocrit, weight gain), although mostly not as strong as those of peppermint. The co-administration of peppermint extract and probiotics caused slight improvements only for 2 parameters (uric acid and ALT) in ascitic broilers. Peppermint extract followed by probiotics (but not their combination) were safe and effective in preventing the ascites syndrome. The use of their combination should be avoided.
Investigating the positive effects of salicylic acid on peppermint (Mentha piperita L.) under different soil salinity conditions: comprehensive morphological, mineral, and biochemical analyses Ebrahim Talebi, Hasan Haghighatnia Agrokemia Es Talajtan, 2024 This study explored the effects of salicylic acid on the growth and biochemical responses of peppermint (Mentha piperita L.) under different soil salinity levels, a major challenge in agricultural productivity. The experiment was conducted using a factorial design with salicylic acid applied at concentrations of 0, 5, 10, and 50 ppm, combined with sodium chloride-induced salinity at 0, 1,000, 2,000, and 3,000 mg kg–1 soil. Results demonstrated that increasing soil salinity negatively impacted plant growth, reducing plant height, leaf number, and the dry weight of aerial parts. Salinity stress also led to reduced nutrient uptake, particularly for essential elements like calcium and potassium, while increasing sodium levels in plant tissues. However, the foliar application of salicylic acid, especially at 50 ppm, significantly improved growth parameters and mitigated the detrimental effects of salinity. Notably, at the highest salinity level (3,000 mg kg–1), salicylic acid enhanced plant height by 11.1% and leaf number by 30.9% compared to untreated plants. Salicylic acid also boosted biochemical responses, such as increasing total phenolic and flavonoid content, which are critical for stress tolerance. This study underscores the potential of salicylic acid as a stress mitigator, promoting better growth and physiological resilience in peppermint under saline conditions, offering valuable insights for improving crop performance in salinity-affected regions.
Enhancing peppermint growth: Investigating the interplay of Biochar and Nitrogen levels Hasan Haghighatnia, Ebrahim Talebi, Maryam Khosravi Nezhad Sains Tanah, 2024 <p><span lang="EN-AU">Peppermint (<em>Mentha piperita</em>) is valued for its medicinal properties and applications in the food and health industries. However, optimizing growth conditions to enhance yield and quality remains challenging. The study aimed to evaluate the impact of nitrogen and biochar on peppermint growth, elemental content, and biochemical composition, using a factorial experiment with a randomized block design and four-pot replications during the 2022-2023 crop year. Biochar levels up to 2% by weight increased plant height by 25%, chlorophyll index by 20%, leaf count by 18%, and dry weights of shoots and roots by 15%, but declined beyond this threshold. Nitrogen levels up to 75 mg per gram of soil increased plant height by 33.8%, chlorophyll index by 30%, and dry weights of aerial organs by 28%. Elemental concentrations in aerial organs peaked at 3% biochar, increasing potassium by 22%, phosphorus by 18%, and calcium by 15%, while zinc and copper decreased by 10% and 12%, respectively. Anthocyanin, flavonoid, and total phenol concentrations decreased by 20%, 30%, and 35% respectively with increasing biochar and nitrogen levels. Applying up to 2% biochar by weight optimizes peppermint yield. Nitrogen mitigates adverse effects of high biochar levels, with 50 mg nitrogen recommended at 2% biochar for optimal yield. These findings offer sustainable agricultural practices to improve crop productivity in nutrient-deficient soils and promote environmentally friendly agricultural practices.</span></p>

Challenges persist, notably food scarcity and climate threats for a growing global population. By 2050, two billion more people will need sustenance, necessitating urgent agricultural innovation. This article reviewed databases from 1985 to 2023 (Google Scholar, Scopus, ISI Web of Knowledge), analyzing AI’s role in agriculture. Keywords like AI, precision feeding, welfare, animal husbandry, and management were used for systematic literature review. Findings highlight AI’s pivotal role in addressing global food shortages. Investment in emerging tech, especially AI, is crucial for a sustainable food supply.
Performance evaluation of novel safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) genotypes under salinity stress conditions Hasan Haghighatnia, Ebrahim Talebi Journal of Aridland Agriculture, 2024 Salinity stress is a widespread environmental challenge impacting global crop production. To develop salt-tolerant safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) cultivars and lines, a factorial experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design with three replications in Darab Fars during the 2021-2023 crop year. The first factor encompassed seven safflower lines and a novel variety, with Padideh as a control. The second factor involved two levels of irrigation water salinity (0.98 and 7.8 dS m-1). The study assessed multiple traits, including grain yield, biological yield, pod count per plant, seeds per pod, 1000-seed weight, sub-branch count, plant height, harvest index, crude oil percentage, and mineral concentrations (sodium, potassium, chlorine) as well as the potassium-to-sodium ratio. Significant effects of cultivar and irrigation water salinity were observed for all traits (p<0.01). Irrigation with saline water significantly reduced yield and its components, except for the number of branches. Saline irrigation increased sodium, potassium, and chlorine concentrations while decreasing the potassium-to-sodium ratio, crude oil percentage, and oil yield. Among the safflower genotypes, Padideh and Mec248 exhibited the lowest and highest yields under saline conditions, respectively. Mec248 demonstrated superior performance under both saline and non-saline conditions, making it the standout line in the study. Parnyan, with moderate yield, showed greater salinity tolerance, as indicated by minimal differences in seed and oil yields under saline and non-saline conditions (10.9% and 14.02%, respectively) and a high potassium-to-sodium ratio in its leaves.

Effect of Olive Leaves Hydroalcoholic Extract (Olea Europaea L.) and LactoFeed® probiotics on Induced Ascites in Male Broilers Ebrahim TALEBI, Marjan HAGHIGHAT JAHROMI Journal of Tekirdag Agricultural Faculty, 2023 The incidence of disease and damage will increase, if environmental control and acceptable management practices are not provided during the rearing period. Ascites affect young broilers with rapid growth, and the most critical factor in causing ascites syndrome is the lack of oxygen in body tissues (hypoxia). This research aimed to investigate the effect of olive leaves hydroalcoholic extract and probiotics (LactoFeed) on experimental ascites caused by levothyroxine in male broiler chickens. The present study was an interventional type, and for its implementation, a single-factor design was used in eight groups with 3 replicates. Data were analyzed based on a one-way analysis of variance. Blood parameters of male chickens were measured after 42 days. Biochemical factors of the blood serum of broilers included AST, ALT, ALT, TSHT, T4, T3, Glucose, Cholesterol, Triglyceride, Urea, Uric acid, TP, Albumin, and Globulin. AST, ALT, and ALP levels in the induced ascites group increased by 1.16, 1.35, and 1.16 times, respectively. When the chickens had induced ascites, the levels of all three hormones in the blood serum of broiler chickens increased significantly (P
Evaluation of Sperm Parameters, Reproductive Hormones, Histological Criteria, and Testicular Spermatogenesis Using Turnip Leaf (Brassica Rapa L.) Hydroalcoholic Extract in Male Rats: An Experimental Study E. Talebi, L. Kazemi, E. R. H. Fard, Reyhane Ghazanfarpoor, E. Rahimi Journal of Medicinal Plants and by Products, 2022 Turnip leaves are rich in vitamins, contain large amounts of various substances with biological properties, and contain various flavonoids, some of which have phytoestrogens properties. The effect of hydroalcoholic extract of turnip leaf (TLE) on pituitary-gonad axis and testicular tissue changes in adult male rats was investigated.Forty Wistar rats were used in 5 groups of 8. The control group used water and standard laboratory feed and did not receive any TLE. The placebo group received orally a certain amount of distilled water as an extracting solvent. Experimental groups 1, 2, and 3 used TLE included 500, 1000, and 2000 mg/kg, respectively, for 28 days. Finally, blood samples were collected from all examined groups to measure the serum concentrations of testosterone, LH, and FSH by the ELISA method. The testes were removed from the animals, and the diameter of the seminiferous tubules (STD) was measured by DinoCapture software. The results revealed that BW, left and right testes did not exhibit significant changes. The results of hormonal tests showed that the TLE in experimental groups increased the level of testosterone and had no significant effect on the levels of LH and FSH. Histological studies showed that the number of spermatogonia, spermatocytes, spermatids, spermatozoa, Leydig cells, STD, and germinal epithelium diameter (GED) in experimental groups showed significance. The effects of TLE were not dose-dependent and the value of 1000 mg/kg is recommended for effectiveness and margin of assurance. This research article is taken from the master's thesis in the field of animal biology.
