“…As a feed supplement, biochar shows promise in improving BWG, and FCR in broiler and ducks (Kana et al, 2014;Louis et al, 2018). The notably superior growth performance observed in birds fed 4 and 6% dietary BC kg -1 compared to the control suggests that BC inclusion enhances overall performance.…”

Study aimed to assess effects of humic acid/biochar on broiler production index, lipid profile, antioxidants, carcass traits, and economic efficiency. A total of 180, 7day-old, unsexed broiler chicks (Cobb 500) were divided into five experimental groups (36 chicks each), each with six replicates (6 chicks each). The first group was fed the basal diet and served as control; while the 2 nd and 3 rd groups were fed the same basal diet supplemented with 1.00 and 2.00 g of humic acid (HA) / kg diet, respectively; the 4 th and 5 th groups were fed the basal diet supplemented with 1.00 and 2.00% of biochar (BC), respectively. The rearing period extended to 35 days. Birds supplemented with HA and BC at varying levels showed significantly higher body weight (BW) and gain (BWG) compared to the control. The group with 1.00 g HA/ kg diet and 2% BC had the best BW and BWG. These supplements also improved feed conversion ratio (FCR) and economic efficiency, with 1 g HA/ kg diet and 2% BC showing the highest production index. Adding HA and BC to the diet improved crude protein (CP) and ether extract (EE) digestibility (P≤0.05). Additionally, supplementation increased dressing percentage and reduced abdominal fat compared to the control. Dietary supplementation in broiler chickens increased blood parameters (RBCs, hemoglobin, PCV, WBCs and lymphocytes), total protein, globulins, and thyroid hormones. It also reduced serum lipids and oxidative stress markers, while enhancing antioxidant indices and immune response (IgA, IgM, IgG, LTT and phagocytic activity). Moreover, it decreased harmful bacterial count and boosted beneficial bacteria count. In conclusion, supplementation of broilers with HA and BC improved growth performance, nutrient digestibility, immune response, and gut health.

“…Mycotoxin detoxifiers can be classified into two sub-categories: Adsorbing agents or toxin binders and biotransforming agents or mycotoxin modifiers [ 6 ]. Binding of aflatoxin with the mycotoxin binder is based on the principle of polarity, whereby the negative polarity of the aflatoxin is bound by the positive polarity of the toxin binder so that the toxin can be mobilized and eliminated from the animal’s body [ 7 ]. In contrast to aflatoxin, which has polar molecular properties that can be treated with toxin absorbents, ochratoxin is a nonpolar molecule [ 8 ].…”

Background and Aim: Mycotoxins such as aflatoxin B1 and ochratoxin A (OTA) are secondary metabolites in molds that grow in raw materials or commercial feed. This interaction has a synergistic effect on mortality, body weight, feed intake, embryo abnormalities, egg production, and lymphoid organ atrophy. This study was conducted to determine the effect of a mycotoxin detoxifier on the blood profile of broilers that were given feed contaminated with mycotoxin, such as the number of heterophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and MCH concentration (MCHC). Materials and Methods: A total of 20 day-old chicks (DOC) of Cobb broilers were given four treatments with five replicates. The number of chickens used in this research was determined using statistical calculations, and the data obtained was homogeneous so that the population was represented. Treatments included negative control with basal feed (C-), positive control with mycotoxins contamination (C+), treatment 1: Mycotoxins contamination and mycotoxin detoxification 1.1 g/kg (T1), and treatment 2: Mycotoxins contamination and mycotoxin detoxification 1.6 g/kg (T2). Mycotoxin contamination comprised 0.1 mg/kg aflatoxin B1 and 0.1 mg/kg OTA. The treatment period for chickens was 28 days, from 8 to 35 days. A battery cage was used in this study. Chickens were kept in a closed, ventilated room and the room temperature (27°C) was monitored during the treatment period. Results: Based on the results of statistical data processing, a significant difference (p < 0.05) was observed between chickens fed mycotoxin-contaminated feed (C+) and chickens not fed mycotoxin-contaminated feed (C-) and chickens given 1.6 g/kg mycotoxin detoxification (T2). Mycotoxin detoxification at a dose of 1.6 g/kg had a significant (p < 0.05) effect on the heterophil, lymphocyte, and heterophil lymphocyte ratio, leukocyte, erythrocyte, and hemoglobin levels of the blood broiler in this experiment. On other parameters such as monocytes, MCH, and MCHC, treatment 2 at dose 1.6 g/kg was the best treatment, although there was no significant effect with C- and T1. Conclusion: The administration of mycotoxin detoxifiers at a dose of 1.6 g/kg increased the number of heterophils and the ratio of heterophil lymphocytes, leukocytes, erythrocytes, and hemoglobin in broilers fed mycotoxin-contaminated feed. Keywords: blood profile, broiler, healthy, mycotoxin detoxifier, mycotoxin.
