1. This study evaluated the duodenal wall integrity, antioxidant status as well some immunological parameters of broiler chickens supplemented with 0.5 g Thymus vulgaris essential oil (EO)/kg diet and 0.4 mg Se/kg DM (dry matter) derived from sodium selenite.2. A total 192 one-d-old randomly divided both sexes (Ross 308 hybrid broilers) were into 4 treatment groups 48 birds each.3. The first group was fed on a nutritionally balanced basal (BD). other three received BD g/kg thyme oil, or DM,...
Food products can be contaminated by a variety of pathogenic and spoilage microbiota
Enterococcus faecium CCM4231, isolated from the rumen content of a calf, produced an antimicrobial agent active against Gram-positive and Gram-negative indicator organisms. After 100-fold concentration by ultrafiltration, diameters zones inhibition ranged 2 to 10 mm. The was sensitive pronase trypsin resistant heating at 60°C for 30 min.
Aims: The partial characterization of bacteriocins produced by an environmental strain Enterococcus faecium EK13, isolated from cattle dung water. Methods and Results: A bacteriocin was partially purified ammonium sulphate precipitation, followed a SP‐Sepharose column, reverse‐phase chromatography N‐terminal region sequenced. anti‐microbial substance found to be heat‐stable polypeptide with molecular mass 4·83 kDa, which determined amino acid sequencing enterocin A. second specified PCR as...
The effect of Enterococcus faecium CCM7420, bacteriocin-producing strain with probiotic properties and its partially purified bacteriocin PPB CCM7420 on growth performance, microflora, Eimeria sp. oocysts, biochemical blood parameters glutathione-peroxidase activity in rabbits was determined. An increase the body weight (P < 0.01) achieved after E. application. A non-significant reduction faecal coli (including haemolytic coli), coagulase-positive staphylococci (CPS) Staphylococcus aureus...
The consumption of healthy and nutritive food (rich in proteins low cholesterol lipid contents) is a preferred factor with the contemporary consumers. In addition, natural alternatives are requested to replace additives used up now but recently banned. To reach above given condition, phyto-additives represent good alternative. aim this study was examine physicochemical properties amino acid composition rabbit meat after enrichment diet oregano, sage, Eleutherococcus senticosus extracts, make...
The fields of immunology, microbiology, and nutrition converge in an astonishing way. Dietary ingredients have a profound effect on the composition gut microflora, which turn regulates physiology metazoans. As such, nutritional components diet are critical importance not only for meeting nutrient requirements host, but also microbiome. During their coevolution, bacterial microbiota has established multiple mechanisms to influence eukaryotic generally beneficial fashion. microbiome encrypts...
The effects of 0.5 g thyme oil per kg dry matter (DM) diet on duodenal tissue integrity, antioxidant status, phagocytic activity and selected microbiota in the caecum faeces rabbits were studied. Twenty-four divided into two groups fed a commercial granulated for growing (CD) with access to water ad libitum. first group was CD, while CD second added. Intestinal integrity tested by measuring transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER). Thyme significantly increased value total status (TAS)...
The interactions between probiotic bacteria and the immune system in animals are known, but particularly rabbits have not been sufficiently documented. Therefore present study deals with effect of enterocin-producing strain Enterococcus faecium CCM7420 on growth performance jejunal morphometry rabbits. Forty-eight weaned male sex (NZB breed) at 5 weeks age were randomly divided into experimental (EF) control group (CG) 24 each group. Each day treatment period (21 days), EF administered a...
Enterococci are lactic acid bacteria. Most of them can adapt well to the food system due their salt and acid-tolerance. Moreover, many enterococcal species have been found produce antimicrobial substances proteinaceous character, i.e., bacteriocins/enterocins. In this study, Enterococcus mundtii EM ML2/2 with bacteriocinogenic potential was identified in Slovak raw goat milk. This strain demonstrated inhibition activity against up 36% Gram-positive indicator bacteria, concentrated form...
