“…On the other hand, Houdijk et al [23], who studied the use of fructooligosaccharides in feed and their influence on growth performance, did not find any significant differences between groups fed with or without non-digestible oligosaccharides. Nevertheless, these results are in contrast to studies by Grela et al [19] and Wang et al [24], who found significantly higher daily weight gains and lower feed conversion ratios in pigs fed a diet supplemented with inulin. The decrease in the DWG (p = 0.042) in the group fed 12.2% H. tuberosus could be explained by the decreased daily feed intake in this group, which may have been caused by the presence of substances that altered the organoleptic properties of the feed mixture.…”

“…Furthermore, previous studies have shown that diets with chicory roots, dried chicory or pure inulin significantly decreased skatole in adipose tissue to levels equivalent to those of castrated males [16][17][18]. According to some studies, feeding inulin to pigs could also have a beneficial influence on growth performance, especially on daily weight gain [19,20].…”

Jerusalem artichoke contains inulin polysaccharide, which has prebiotic effects and influences the microbiota of the digestive tract. The addition of Jerusalem artichoke in boar diets may decrease the content of skatole and indole, which are the main constituents of boar taint, and may also negatively affect the taste and odor. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different levels of Helianthus tuberosus L. (H. tuberosus) in feed mixtures on performance, carcass composition, the levels of microbiota in faecal samples, and the concentrations of skatole and indole in adipose tissue. The study was performed with 47 crossbred entire male pigs of the Large White sire × (Large White dame × Landrace) genotype fed a basal diet with 0%, 4.1%, 8.1% or 12.2% H. tuberosus for 13 days before slaughter. Significant differences in daily weight gain and daily feed intake were found (p = 0.045), with the values being lower in the group with the highest level of H. tuberosus. In addition, increasing levels of H. tuberosus decreased the concentration of skatole in the adipose tissue (p = 0.003). The highest level of H. tuberosus decreased the level of Escherichia coli (p ≤ 0.001) in the faeces. The enterococcal count increased (p = 0.029) in groups with a diet that included 4.1% and 8.1% H. tuberosus. There was also a significant correlation between the concentration of H. tuberosus and the concentration of E. coli (p < 0.001; −0.64) and the skatole levels in the adipose tissue (p = 0.001; –0.46). Moreover, there was also a positive correlation between the concentration of E. coli and the skatole levels in the adipose tissue (p = 0.023; 0.33). In conclusion, feeding pigs with H. tuberosus leads to decreased levels of skatole in the adipose tissue. According to the results of our study, a diet with 8.1% H. tuberosus is sufficient for decreasing skatole levels, which could be due to the decreased levels of pathogenic bacteria in the intestines.

“…By contrast, Grela et al [49] showed that inulin and garlic extract added to the drinking water of pigs resulted in lower backfat thickness values compared with pigs receiving no such supplementation. The reason for these differences between studies could be due to the action of inulin or the garlic extract concentration tested or different ways of administration (in the water or feed) and perhaps even the format of the extract.…”

The aim of the present study was to ascertain whether an Allium spp. extract rich in organosulfur compounds, such as propyl thiosulfonate (PTSO), added to the feed of growing-finishing pigs at 5 g/kg enhances growth performance or affects the fecal microbiome, the levels of short-chain fatty acids, or the antioxidant capacity of the animals. Fifty male growing pigs (large white) of 23.07 ± 2.87 kg average body weight were randomly allotted to two treatments in a 103-day trial. The trial was divided into two periods, an initial growing phase (56-days) and a finishing phase (47-days). Two dietary treatments for each phase (growing and finishing) were used: a control diet (CON) and an experimental diet consisting of the control diet to which 5 g/kg of Allium spp. extract was added to substitute sepiolite (GAR). Throughout the study, body weight, average daily gain (kg/day, ADG), feed intake (kg/day), and feed conversion ratio (kg/kg) were measured, while the backfat thickness and muscle depth were determined at the end of the study. Besides, feces samples were taken for bacterial counts by means of real-time PCR and short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) profile determination, and the antioxidant capacity was assessed in serum and saliva. In the animals receiving Allium spp. extract (5 g/kg) in the feed, ADG increased (p < 0.05) throughout the trial, Salmonella spp. and Clostridium spp. counts in feces had decreased (p < 0.05) when measured on day 56, and, by day 103, Salmonella spp., Clostridium spp., and Enterobacteriaceae counts had decreased (p < 0.05) and Lactobacillus spp. counts had increased (p < 0.01) in feces. Regarding the SCFA profile in feces and antioxidant capacity measured in serum and saliva, supplementation with Allium spp. extract significantly increased the levels of propionic, isobutyric, and isovaleric acids and the percentage of total branched fatty acids, while the c2/c3 and (c2 + c4)/c3 ratios were lower (p < 0.05) in feces; the Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity and the cupric reducing antioxidant capacity levels in serum were significantly higher in the same pigs on day 103 than on day 0. Consequently, based on the current results, Allium spp. extract rich in organosulfur compounds, added to the diet at 5 g/kg, had a beneficial effect on the microbiota and would seem to be a possible alternative for increasing the growth performance of growing-finishing pigs. However, further studies on the effects of Allium spp. supplementation on carcass quality are necessary.

“…Benin et al (2016) Garlic consumption may reduce the development of cholesterol-induced experimental atherosclerosis and has direct anti-atherogenic effect. Garlic supplementation reduces cholesterol in hepatocytes and triglyceride levels in blood, limits the synthesis and secretion of very low density lipoproteins, and alters the fatty acid profile of pig meat fat, all of which are good for its nutritional value (Grela et al, 2013). Samoli nska and colleagues (2020).…”

hree hundred unsexed 1-day old Cobb chicks with initial live weight of 44.70±0.04 g, were randomly distributed into five experimental groups with three replicate in each, with 20 chicks (5x3x20). They used to study the effects of different supplementation levels of Allicin (0, 3, 6, 9, and 12 mg/Kg diet) on broiler performance, some blood metabolites and antioxidants stats. Broilers were reared for 5 weeks in an open house system and were offered both feed and clean drinking water ad-libitum. Throughout the test phase, body weight (BW), We kept track of weight gain (BWG), feed intake (FI), and feed conversion ratio (FCR). Results showed that, performance traits includes body weight, weight gain, and feed conversion ratio of broiler chicks was improved significantly (P≤0.05) by increasing the supplementation levels of allicin for (3 to 12 mg/kg diet). In addition, broilers received different supplementation levels of allicin showed significant (P≤0.05) improvement in some blood biochemical (total protein, albumin, triglyceride and low density of lipids). The same direction was observed for antioxidant indices (TAC and MDA). From the previous results it could be conducted that, allicin can be used at the level of (12 mg /kg diet) in the diet of broiler to improve performance traits and physiological status without any negative effects.
