Compared to the conventional diet C, the experimental diet (E) included 1% white willow bark extract (WBE). At 42 days of age, 6 blood samples /group were collected and 6 broilers/ group were slaughtered and caecal content was collected. The dietary WBE didn’t influence broiler performance. The serum concentrations of glycaemia, cholesterol and triglycerides were lower (P <0.05) in E group than in C group. E broilers had the lowest count (P<0.05) of Enterobacteriaceae, E. coli and staphylococci colony forming units in the caecal content. The inclusion of WBE (1%) in the diet of broilers reared at 32° C had an hypocholesterolemiant and hypoglycaemic effect and reduced the pathogenic bacteria in the caecum.

  • Extensive Willow Biomass Production on Marginal Land
    Pol. J. Environ. Stud. Vol. 28, No. 6 (2019), 4359-4367 DOI: 10.15244/pjoes/94812 ONLINE PUBLICATION DATE: 2019-07-29 Original Research Extensive Willow Biomass Production on Marginal Land Mariusz J. Stolarski*, Stefan Szczukowski, Józef Tworkowski, Michał Krzyżaniak University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, Faculty of Environmental Management and Agriculture, Department of Plant Breeding and Seed Production, Olsztyn, Poland Received: 14 June 2018 Accepted: 3 September 2018 Abstract In temperate climate zones, fast-growing willow species harvested in short harvest rotations of 3 to 10 years are an interesting source of biomass for energy or industrial purposes. The aim of this study was to determine morphological traits and biomass yields of three willow cultivars and three clones cultivated on three different types of marginal soils at two densities. Willow was grown in the Eko-Salix system, with no ploughing, with limited fertilization and cultivation measures, harvested in a 7-year rotation. The experiment showed that willow can be produced in the Eko-Salix system in extensive cultivation; however, the yield was strongly differentiated by the marginal soils and by the cultivars and clones under study and ranged from 4.4 to 17.8 Mg ha–1 year–1 DM. The mean yield from all the sites for all the cultivars and clones as well as planting densities in the experiment was 8.0 Mg ha–1 year–1 DM. The biomass yield obtained on peat-muck soil and humic alluvial soil was similar and significantly higher than on very heavy clay soil. The Ekotur cultivar gave plants with better morphological traits and the significantly highest mean yield (12.9 Mg ha–1 year–1 DM).

The area covered by this study was the Gurghiului Mountains. Regarding the vegetation, this area is characterized by the predominance of forest ecosystems, along with semi-natural mountainous grasslands. The floristic inventory for the studied area included numerous medicinal plants with therapeutic chemical compounds. These medicinal plants were grouped in this study according to the dominant active principles used in phytotherapy. Two plant associations were identified: Festuco rubrae-Agrostietum capillaris Horvat 1951 and Poo-Trisetetum flavescentis Knapp ex Oberdorfer 1957. This survey demonstrates that the medicinal plant area in the Gurghiului Mountains is a promising economic resource for developing this region, but it needs planned exploitation. Keywords: grasslands, habitats, medicinal plants.
