Effect of microencapsulation of egg yolk immunoglobulin Y by sodium alginate/chitosan/sodium alginate on the growth performance, serum parameters, and intestinal health of broiler chickens

Abstract: Objective: Egg yolk immunoglobulin (IgY) is an antibiotic alternative to prevent and fight intestinal pathogenic infections. This study aimed to investigate the effects of sodium alginate/chitosan/sodium alginate IgY microcapsules on the growth performance, serum parameters, and intestinal health of broiler chickens.Methods: One-day-old broilers (Ross 308) were divided into five treatments, each with 10 replicates of five chickens. The dietary treatments were maintained for 28 days and consisted of a basal die… Show more

“…The greater presence of mycotoxins in the diet during the first 7 days was correlated with a lower absorption surface capacity in the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, especially at 21 days, which could explain the lower growth observed in these birds during the study. The observed increase in the concentration of IgY can be associated with the greater relative weight (%) of the thymus as previously reported (45).…”
