“…Our findings are in agreement with previous experiments (Jozefiak et al, 2010). According to these authors, benzoic acid reduction of the growth rate when fed at higher than 0.1% inclusions can be explained by its metabolic pathway -conjugation with ornithine.…”

“…Our study adds knowledge on the topic, since it examines oregano, attapulgite and benzoic acid that may benefit the intestinal microflora or functionality. Oregano and benzoic acid possess antimicrobial activity (Jozefiak et al, 2010;Hippenstiel et al, 2011). Dietary supplementation of attapulgite beneficially modulated cecal microbiota in laying pullets (Chalvatzi et al, 2016).…”

“…However, dosages of this acid higher than 0.25% caused growth depression and poor feed conversion (Jozefiak et al, 2006;Jozefiak et al, 2010), whereas combinations with specific compounds of essential oils including carvacrol, thymol and eygenol cause positive effects on growth performance (Giannenas et al, 2014a(Giannenas et al, , 2014b.…”

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of oregano, attapulgite, benzoic acid and their combination on broiler performance, microflora composition of jejunum and cecum, intestinal architecture and breast and thigh meat composition. A total of 400 one-day-old broiler chicks were used in a 42-day trial. They were randomly distributed into five treatments with four replicates of twenty chickens per pen: Control group; Attapulgite group; Oregano essential oil group; Benzoic acid group; Mixed group. At the end of the trial, total counts of bacteria, Enterobacteriaceae, Lactobacilli, and Clostridium perfringens were enumerated by real time PCR at both jejunum and cecum. Intestinal morphology was carried out in duodenum, jejunum and ileum, for villus height and crypt depth. Cell proliferation was also evaluated in the small intestine and the cecum. The results showed that oregano and benzoic acid improved some growth performance parameters. The combined use of the examined substances increased enterobacteria counts in the jejunum, and cell proliferation in the duodenum and the jejunum. Benzoic acid improved intestinal wall morphology in the ileum. In conclusion, the combined dietary supplementation with oregano, attapulgite and benzoic acid can be a novel tool to beneficially modulate broiler chickens performance.

“…The first group is mostly represented by feed structure and composition as well as the presence of antibiotic growth promoters or other feed additives in a diet. The second group is correlated mainly with bird age; thus, development of the gastrointestinal tract and activity of endogenous enzymes (Knarreborg et al, 2002;Ricke, 2003;Józefiak et al, 2007). The composition of gastrointestinal microbiota also can affect nutrient absorption and fat digestibility, which influence feed utilization (Knarreborg et al, 2003;Bjerrum et al, 2006;Johansen et al, 2007).…”

“…This includes probiotics, prebiotics, organic acids, essential oils, etc. (Ricke, 2003;Józefiak et al, 2007). Little is known, however, about bacteriocins -extracellularly released proteinaceous compounds lethal to bacteria other than the producing strain (Joerger, 2003;Sip and Grajek, 2005).…”

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of divercin, a bacteriocin produced by lactobacilli strain Carnobacterium divergens AS7, on the microflora status under in vitro conditions and on nutrient retention and nitrogen-corrected apparent metabolizable energy (AME N ) of divercin in an in vivo trial on broiler chickens. Low (DL) 200 AU•ml 1 (0.05% of the liquid divercin prepatation), and high (DH) 1600 AU•ml -1 (0.4% of the liquid divercin prepatation) doses of divercin were used in both trials. In the in vitro trial divercin at concentration, 1600AU ml -1 of divercin had stronger antibacterial effects as compared with 200 AU•ml -1 . In the crop and ileal digesta, the DH treatment was characterized by the lowest lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and coliform bacteria counts (0.4-0.8 log cycle reduction). There were no differences in nutrient retention between treatments. Salinomycin and divercin supplementation tended to increase fat digestibility and N retention, however. The highest AME N were obtained in the DL treatment. The results of both studies show positive effects of divercin in terms of reduction of microbial populations isolated from the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of broiler chickens as well as improvement in AME N . The presented data may suggest that bacteriocin derived from Carnobacterium divergens AS7 could play a role in controlling the microbial ecosystem in the broiler chicken GIT.
