This paper reviews recent advances on the use and mode of action probiotics (direct-fed microbials) in poultry. The addition to diet has been found improve growth performance feed conversion broilers, egg mass, weight size layers. poultry includes (i) maintaining normal intestinal microflora by competitive exclusion antagonism; (ii) altering metabolism increasing digestive enzyme activity decreasing bacterial ammonia production; (iii) improving intake digestion; (iv) neutralizing...

Abstract 1. The effects of a mixture 12 Lactobacillus strains (LC) on the growth performance, abdominal fat deposition, serum lipids and weight organs broiler chickens were studied from 1 to 42 d age. 2. One hundred thirty-six 1-d-old male chicks assigned at random two dietary treatments: basal diet (control), with 0·1% LC. 3. supplementation LC in diets improved body gain feed conversion rate age was effective reducing deposition but only after 28 4. reduced total cholesterol, low density...

A study was carried out to investigate the effects of adherent Lactobacillus cultures on 1) amylolytic, lipolytic, and proteolytic enzyme activities in contents small intestine (from distal end duodenum ileocecal junction) 2) bacterial β-glucuronidase β-glucosidase intestinal feces broiler chickens. Three dietary treatments were randomly assigned three groups chicks, i.e., basal diet only (control group), + 0.1% dried culture acidophilus, a mixture 12 strains. The results showed that...

Defatted Jatropha curcas L. (J. curcas) seed kernels contained a high percentage of crude protein (61.8%) and relatively little acid detergent fiber (4.8%) neutral (9.7%). Spectrophotometric analysis the methanolic extract showed presence phenolics, flavonoids saponins with values 3.9, 0.4 19.0 mg/g DM, respectively. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyses gallic pyrogallol (phenolics), rutin myricetin (flavonoids) daidzein (isoflavonoid). The amount phorbol esters in...

A comprehensive study on the phytochemical contents and biological activities of methanolic extract from different parts Jatropha curcas Linn. was conducted. The extracts plant contained various levels phenolics, flavonoids saponins. Latex leaf showed highest antioxidant activity. Root latex inhibited inducible nitric oxide synthase in macrophages RAW 264.7, comparable to L-Nitro-Arginine Methyl Ester (L-NAME), indicating appreciable anti-inflammatory activities. Cytotoxicity assay results...

Genetic based knowledge of different vegetative and yield traits play a major role in varietal improvement rice. variation gives room for recombinants which are essential the development new variety any crop. Based on this background, work was carried out to evaluate genetic diversity derived mutant lines establish relationships between their components using multivariate analysis. To achieve objective, two field trials were 45 rice genotypes growth traits. Data taken its components, while...

The associations among yield-related traits and the pattern of influence on rice grain yield were investigated. This evaluation is important to determine direct indirect effects various selection criteria for higher yield. Fifteen genotypes evaluated under tropical condition at five locations in two planting seasons. experiment was laid out a randomized complete block design with three replications across locations. Data collected vegetative components traits. pooled data based analysis...

Increasing understanding on the functions of amino acids (AA) has led to new commercial applications and expansion worldwide markets. However, current technologies rely heavily non-food grade microorganism chemical synthesis for production AA. Several studies reported that lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have capability producing AA owing their well-established proteolytic system biosynthesis genes. Hence, objectives this study were explore extracellular activity LAB isolated from various...

Genotypes evaluation for stability and high yielding in rice is an important factor sustainable production food security. These evaluations are essential especially when the objective of breeding program to select lines with adaptability stability. This study was conducted investigate G × E interaction over ten environments across peninsular Malaysia yield fifteen genotypes comprising twelve mutant three established varieties. The experiment laid out a randomized complete block design...

Investigation on the use of herbal-based biopolymers for probiotic-Lactobacillus plantarum 15HN-encapsulation is presented. The objectives are to enhance its oral delivery, colonic release and survival rate these probiotic cultures in gastrointestinal environment.Nine types polymers blend with different concentration alginate alone or mixed psyllium fenugreek was used as candidate encapsulation matrix by applying a simple extrusion method. All formulations recorded high efficiency at value...

Two hundred 10-day-lid, male Arbor Acres broiler chicks divided randomly into 4 groups of 50 each were used. Different feeding treatment was carried out for group. Chicks in 1 fed a basal diet(Starter feed)(control); 2, diet + 0.1% B. subtilis culture; 3, 0.2% lactobacilli culture the feed; and 4, +5 g drinking water. The viable bacterial counts approximately 109 cells/kg feed. weight gain chickens given feeds incorporated with significantly(p<0.05) higher than those control. With regard to...
