“…The probiotic group performed similarly to the antibiotic group and it was concluded that GalliPro (T3) could replace the antibiotic without any negative effect on bird performance. The results of the current study agree with previous reports (Teo & Tan, 2006;, which showed that B. subtilis based-probiotic improved broiler performance, and explained the improvements by different mechanisms. Mountzouris et al (2007) reported that the overall FCR for probiotic treatment was not different from antibiotic treatment.…”

“…Strains of B. subtilis have been shown to eliminate the colonizing of several pathogenic bacteria in the gut, such as E. coli, Salmonella, Clostridium, Streptococcus and Campylobacter (La Ragione et al, 2001;Teo & Tan, 2006;Knapp et al, 2011). The antimicrobial factor produced by Bacillus subtilis is typical of gram positive bacteriocins in being broadly active against various strains of Clostridium species.…”

“…This finding agrees with those of others. Teo & Tan (2006) reported that B. subtilis produces lactic and acetic acid from glucose. The significant increases in the lactic acid colony counts in the ileum and the caecum in the prebiotic (T4) and probiotic (T3) supplemented groups provide new evidence about changing the intestinal flora through prebiotics and probiotics.…”

“…Probiotics have been reported to prevent pathogenic bacteria such as C. perfringens and Salmonella from colonizing the gut through the mechanism of competitive exclusion (Teo & Tan, 2006;Abudabos et al, 2013). Another possible alternative to AGPs in poultry diets is the use of prebiotics.…”

Effects of prebiotics and probiotics on the performance and bacterial colonization of broiler chickens

A study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of Neoxyval (antimicrobial growth promoter (AGP)), TechnoMos (prebiotic), GalliPro (probiotic) and a mixture of TechnoMos and GalliPro (symbiotic) on growth performance, carcass yield, histomorphology and intestinal bacterial counts in broilers (0 d to 42 d). Two hundred day-old Ross (308) broilers were allocated to five experimental treatments: T1 = control (CONT), T2 = T1 + Neoxyval, T3 = T1 + Gallipro, T4 = T1+ TechnoMos and T5 = T1+ Gallipro+ TechnoMos. The results revealed that birds that received T2, T4 and T3 gained more weight and converted feed more efficiently than those in T1 and T5. Longer ileal villi (492.9 µm) were recorded in birds that received T4 compared with T1 (424.7 µm) and T2 (439.9 µm). Conversely, jejunal villi length and width were not influenced by treatment. T3 eliminated Clostridium perfringens from the ileum, but not from the caecum. Generally, birds that received T3 and T5 performed similar to the AGP group, T2. The results from this study indicated that the probiotic (T3) and prebiotic (T4) used in this trial could serve as alternatives to AGP (T2). Enhancement in the performance of broilers could be explained partially by improvement in intestinal morphology and microbial balance associated with modulation of intestinal microflora and inhibition of pathogens. ______________________________________________________________________________________

RESUMO -Uma digestão e absorção de nutrientes eficientes, associadas a um bom estado de saúde animal, são necessidades fundamentais na competitiva indústria de produção de proteína animal. Uma má absorção de nutrientes, além de causar perdas econômicas, é fonte de desequilíbrio na microflora microbiana intestinal, abrindo portas para diarréias e outras enfermidades intestinais, ou mesmo facilitando problemas sistêmicos de saúde animal. Estes problemas produtivos tornam-se ainda mais críticos no cenário atual de aumento de risco com a progressiva restrição ao uso de antibióticos promotores de crescimento no mundo. Animais jovens, como os leitões, são mais suscetíveis a estes problemas devido ao seu estado de desenvolvimento incompleto, com menor quantidade de enzimas e capacidade digestiva, associado a um sistema imune imaturo e menos eficiente. O intestino destes animais se encontra em fase de colonização, mais suscetível a desequilíbrios de microflora e problemas entéricos. Diversas novas tecnologias vêm sendo desenvolvidas e implementadas para enfrentar estes desafios, como, por exemplo, as enzimas, os ácidos orgânicos, os lisofosfolipídios e os probióticos. Será discutido como a suplementação de dietas com estas tecnologias possui potencial para permitir a formulação de rações de menor densidade nutricional, gerando menor poluição ambiental, e como elas promovem melhor desempenho zootécnico e saúde animal. Também serão abordadas evidências que apontam para a atuação conjunta e potencialmente sinérgica destas tecnologias no trato gastrointestinal para aumentar a digestibilidade dos nutrientes e afetar de forma positiva o equilíbrio da microflora residente no intestino. Palavras-chave: ácidos orgânicos, antibióticos, enzimas, lisofosfolipídios, probióticosChemical and philosophic interactions of acidifiers, probiotics, enzymes and lysophospholipids in the piglest digestion ABSTRACT -An efficient digestion and nutrients absorption, coupled with good animal health status, are fundamental needs in the competitive animal protein industry. Poor absorption of nutrients cause economic losses, and are a source of imbalance in the microbial intestinal microflora, opening doors to diarrhea and other intestinal diseases, or even facilitating systemic problems of animal health. These problems become even more critical in the current scenario of increased risk with the progressive restriction of the use of antibiotic growth promoters around the world. Young animals, as piglets, are more susceptible to these problems due to the incomplete state of development of these animals, with less capacity and digestive enzymes, associated with an immature and less efficient immune system. The intestine of these animals is still in colonization process, so there is higher susceptibility to microflora imbalance and enteric problems. Several new technologies have been developed and implemented to address these challenges, such as Enzymes, Organic Acids, Probiotics and Lysophospholipids. A discussion will be presented showing how the supp...
