ABSTRACT The potential of a prebiotic oligosaccharide lactulose, probiotic strain Lactobacillus plantarum , or their synbiotic combination to control postweaning colibacillosis in pigs was evaluated using an enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) K88 oral challenge. Seventy-two weanlings were fed four diets: diet (CTR), that supplemented with L. (2 × 10 CFU · day −1 ) (LPN), g kg lactulose (LAC), the two treatments (SYN). After 7 days, orally challenged. Six per treatment euthanized on days...

This study investigated whether the inclusion of a stimbiotic (STB) can improve performance, influence intestinal microbiota and fermentation activity, reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines in piglets fed low zinc oxide diet without antimicrobial growth promotors compared to fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS) mannan-oligosaccharide (MOS) when housed either good sanitary (GS) or poor (PS) environments. One hundred forty-four male pigs (28-day-old) were sorted by initial body weight (BW) allocated one...

The inhibition of the attachment bacteria to intestine by receptor analogues could be a novel approach prevent enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) K88-induced diarrhoea in piglets. objective present study was screen ability different feed ingredients (FI) bind ETEC K88 (adhesion test, AT) and block its porcine intestinal mucus (blocking BT) using vitro microtitration-based models. In AT, wheat bran (WB), casein glycomacropeptide (CGMP) exopolysaccharides exhibited highest adhesion ( P...

For both studies, 960 Ross 308 BUT 10 (1-day-old) allocated 1 of 6 experimental treatments: (1) control diet, containing standard dose (100 g/ton) (STD-Xyl); (2) diet 100 g/ton (STD + Xyl); (3) supplemented top fold (200 g/ton), also referred as superdosing (SD-Xyl); (4) superdosed (SD (5)...

Stimbiotics are a new category of feed additives that can increase fibre fermentability by stimulating fibre-degrading microbiota in the gut. The aim this study was to test,

Abstract Background One of the main roles intestinal mucosa is to protect against environmental hazards. Supplementation xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) known selectively stimulate growth beneficial bacteria and improve gut health function in chickens. XOS may have an impact on integrity epithelia where cell turnover critical maintain compatibility between digestive barrier functions. The aim study was evaluate effect arabinoxylan-rich fraction (AXRF) supplementation epithelial broiler Methods A...

Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the effects an omega‐3 (n‐3) polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)‐enriched diet on animal fat depots and lipid oxidation in blood meat broiler chickens. Abdominal pad (AFP), sartorius muscle liver histology were used assess effect dietary depots. A total 60 female broilers (14 days old) randomly divided into two groups which received a containing 10 % tallow (S diet), rich saturated acids or blend fish oil linseed (N3 n‐3 PUFA from 14 50 life....

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect xylanase supplementation on performance, footpad score (FPS), nutrient digestibility, and intestinal morphometry in broiler chickens. Two-hundred-eighty-eight Ross 308 chicks (one d old) were placed one 3 experimental treatments: positive control (PC), negative (NC) (-150 kcal/kg), XYL (NC supplemented with xylanase). Each treatment had 8 replicates 12 animals each. Starter (zero 21 d) grower (21 42 diets, based wheat soy-bean meal,...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect a product consisting combination xylanase and xylo-oligosaccharide (STBIO) on performance ileal digestibility broiler chickens fed energy amino acid (AA) deficient diets. Day-old male Ross 308 chicks were randomly allocated 8 pens per treatment, with 25 pen. Treatments based wheat-corn-soybean meal diets arranged in 3 × 2 factorial design: positive control that met or exceeded nutrient recommendations (PC), negative diet 50 kcal/kg...

A study was conducted to determine the effect of dietary fiber (DF), xylanase (XYL), xylooligosaccharides (XOS), and a combination XYL (STBIO) on chicken growth performance, N-corrected apparent metabolizable energy (AMEn), nutrient availability, characteristics gastrointestinal tract (GIT), cecal content short-chain fatty acids (SCFA). 35-day experiment performed 1,920 as hatched Ross 308 broiler chicks, reared in 96 pens fed ad libitum. Experimental diets were split into 2 phases: starter...

The present study investigated the effects of supplemental xylanase or stimbiotic in male broiler chickens fed either corn- wheat-barley-based diets. A total 1,296 Ross 308 day-old chicks were assigned to a 2 × 3 factorial design, evaluating diet grain source (wheat-barley corn) and additives (none, xylanase, stimbiotic). used contained fermentable xylo-oligosaccharides. Each treatment was replicated 8 times, with 27 birds per replicate pen. At day 21, pen selected for blood sample...

Abstract Xylanase is commonly incorporated into U.S. swine finishing diets due to feed efficiency and livability responses. The mechanisms behind this benefit includes reducing digesta viscosity, releasing entrapped nutrients, hydrolyzing fiber key arabinoxylan oligosaccharides fermented by microbe that generate short-chain fatty acids. objective of study was evaluate the efficacy a xylanase (Econase XT 25; AB Vista, Marlborough, UK) on performance nutrient digestibility growing-finishing...
