The control of intestinal inflammation: A major objective in the research of probiotic strains as alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters in poultry
(MDPI, 2020-01-21)
The reduction of antimicrobial resistance is a major challenge for the scientific community. In a few decades, infections by resistant bacteria are forecasted to be the main cause of death in the world. ...
Effects of Deoxynivalenol-Contaminated Diets on Metabolic and Immunological Parameters in Broiler Chickens
(MDPI, 2021-01-11)
The current study was conducted to examine the effects of deoxynivalenol (DON) at different levels (5 and 15 mg/kg feed) on the metabolism, immune response and welfare parameters of male broiler chickens ...
Effect of Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. Boulardii and b-galactomannan oligosaccharide on porcine intestinal epithelial and dendritic cells challenged in vitro with Escherichia coli F4 (K88)
(BMC, 2012-01-25)
Probiotic and prebiotics, often called “immune-enhancing” feed additives, are believed to deal with pathogens,
preventing the need of an immune response and reducing tissue damage. In this study, we ...
Effects of Deoxynivalenol-Contaminated Diets on Productive, Morphological, and Physiological Indicators in Broiler Chickens
(MDPI, 2020-10-02)
The present study with 1-day-old male broilers (Ross 308) was conducted to evaluate the
effects of deoxynivalenol (DON) at different levels (5 and 15 mg/kg feed) on growth performance,
relative weight ...
Effect of Bacillus spp. direct-fed microbial on slurry characteristics and gaseous emissions in growing pigs fed with high fibre-based diets
(Elsevier, 2016-07-14)
A 26-day trial with 18 Pietrain × (Landrace × Duroc) pigs was conducted to investigate the effect of two dose levels of a specifically selected Bacillus spp. direct-fed microbial (DFM) product, on the ...
Enzyme complex containing carbohydrases and phytase improves growth performance and bone mineralization of broilers fed reduced nutrient corn-soybean-based diets
(Elsevier, 2009-09-01)
One experiment was conducted to investigate the benefits of a multi-enzyme complex, containing carbohydrases (from Penicillium funiculosum) and
phytase (bacterial 6-phytase) activities, on the performance ...
Dietary fat source affects metabolism of fatty acids in pigs as evaluated by altered expression of lipogenic genes in liver and adipose tissues
(Elsevier, 2009-01-01)
Little is known about pig gene expressions related to dietary fatty acids (FAs) and most work have been conducted in rodents.
The aim of this study was to investigate how dietary fats regulate fat ...
Use of yeast cell walls; β-1, 3/1, 6-glucans; and mannoproteins in broiler chicken diets
(Elsevier, 2009-03-01)
Two experiments were carried out to evaluate the effect of dietary addition of yeast cell wall
(YCW); β-1, 3/1, 6-glucan (BG); and mannoprotein
complex (MP) purified fractions in broilers. In experiment ...
Reduction of Salmonella enterica var. Enteritidis colonization and invasion by Bacillus cereus var. toyoi inclusion in poultry feeds
(Elsevier, 2009-05-01)
The effect of continuously feeding the probiotic microorganism Toyocerin to birds inoculated with
Salmonella Enteritidis field-isolated strains on Salmonella Enteritidis prevalence, and performance ...
Effects of Exogenous 6-Phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) Supplementation on Performance, Calcium and Phosphorous Digestibility, and Bone Mineralisation and Density in Weaned Piglets
(MDPI, 2021-06-15)
Phosphorus (P) is an essential mineral for growing piglets, which is poorly accessible in vegetable feedstuffs as it is stored as phytates. Thus, phytase supplementation is essential to increase P ...
