OCA16. Annotation of the output in English	The experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of Cinnamomum zeylanicum essential oil on antioxidant status of chickens. Thirty-two female Ross 308 hybrid broilers were fed one of four diets supplemented with 0%, 0.1%, 0.05% and 0.025% of essential oil for 38 days. Blood, liver, kidney and duodenal epithelium were collected for the subsequent evaluation of antioxidant status. Feeding of adiet supplemented with 0.1% of essential oil significantly decreased the concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA) in plasma and duodenal mucosa in comparison with the control group (0%). The activities of glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were significantly higher in blood of chicks fed the diet containing 0.1% of essential oil. Diets containing 0.05% and 0.025% of essential oil reduced alanine amino transferase (ALT) activity in plasma in comparison with the control group. Blood phagocytic activity significantly increased in chickens fed the diet supplemented with 0.1% and the index of phygocytic activity was affected by the diet containing 0.025% of essential oil in comparison with the control group. The present investigation shows that Cinnamomum zeylanicum essential oil exhibits a significant antioxidant activity in fattening chickens and can be used as a source of antioxidant in dietary supplement.

OCA18. Characteristics of the output's impact on socio-economic practice	/Authors found significantly lower lipid peroxidation in plasma and duodenal epithelium of chicks fed the diet supplemented with 0.10% of essential oil. Other diets containing 0.05% and 0.025% of essential oil had no effect on lipid peroxidation. Cinnamon had no significant effect on the concentration of MDA in the liver and kidney tissue. It has been shown that Cinnamomum zeylanicum essential oil is not suitable for the test of MDA, because the main component trans-cinnamaldehyd strongly interacts with the thiobarbituric acid used in the assay, developing yellow colour, which made the experiment impossible to carry out. Authors used the spectrofluorimetric method, where the n-buthanol phase is clear and the fluorimetric assay is not based on colour absorbance. It has been reported that lower GPx activity is generally accompanied with an increase of the MDA concentration. The digestive tract itself is considered to be a major site of free-radical production in animals and some of them might be delivered via portal blood system into the liver. In our study, ALT was significantly reduced in chickens fed diets supplemented with 0.05% and 0.025% of cinnamon.It shows that cinnamon has an effect on the liver function. Our results indicate that cinnamon has hepatoprotective effects.
