“…This may be the reason for the largest jejuna villi surface area (P <0.0001) that was observed in T3 and T4 birds. As reported by Paul et al (2007), the increase of villous height of various small intestine segments may be attributed to the role of the intestinal epithelium as a natural barrier to pathogenic bacteria and toxic substances that are present in the intestinal lumen. Furthermore, M. oleifera leaves contain short-chain carbohydrates, glycosides, which are reported to cause major increases in the height of the jejuna villi compared with AGP and AGP-free diets (Baurhoo et al, 2009).…”

The intestinal morphology and pH of digesta of broiler chickens at 35 days old were studied. Birds were reared on these dietary treatments (T). T1, positive control, contained 668 g salinomycin and 500 g zinc bacitracin per kg of feed. Treatments, T2, T3 and T4, contained graded levels of Moringa oleifera leaf meal (MOLM) per kg of feed, namely starter (1, 3, 5 g), grower (3, 9, 15 g) and finisher (5, 15, 25 g). T5 was a negative control (without supplementation). Birds were provided feed and water ad libitum. Birds in T3 had the highest proventriculus digesta pH, and T5 birds the lowest. Birds that were supplemented with MOLMand surprisingly those from the negative control -had significantly higher caecal digesta pH, while T1 had the highest ileal digesta pH. Duodenal villous length was longest in T2, and shortest in T4. Jejunal villous length was longest in T3 and shortest in T2 birds. T3 and T4 jejunal villi were widest, with T1 birds having the shortest. Ileal villous was longest in T2 and T5 birds, while T3 birds had the shortest. Duodenal surface area for absorption was larger in T2 and T5, and smaller in T4, while T3 had the largest ileal surface area, and T1 the smallest. The jejunal surface area was largest in T3 (53.2) and T4 (50.7), and smallest in T1 (25.0). The current results reveal a regulatory effect of MOLM on the gastrointestinal tract, which could be attributed to the coarseness of the diets, thus raising the pH and resulting in thicker digesta viscosity, which is a clear sign of a healthy gut. ______________________________________________________________________________________

“…However, the results for dietary formates were inconsistent. Patten and Waldroup (1988) observed decreased feed efficiency by dietary supplementation of calcium formate from 7.2 to 28.9 g/kg, whereas Paul et al .

Dietary organic acids for broiler chickens: a review

SummaryThe objective was to summarize and describe the possible mode of action of dietary organic acids and their effects on growth performance of broiler chickens. Previous experiments have suggested that dietary organic acids decrease pH in diets and subsequently reduce pH in the proximal and distal intestine, increase nutrient utilization, and inhibit pathogenic bacterial growth in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). The degree of pH reduction is usually greater in the upper part of the GIT (crop, proventriculus, and gizzard) than in the lower part of the GIT (duodenum, jejunum, ileum, and cecum). Bactericidal effects of dietary organic acids have been observed for pathogenic bacteria and even for beneficial bacteria to some extent. However, few significant results regarding bacterial modulation in the GIT have been reported. Dietary organic acids can improve dry matter and protein utilization in some experiments, but the extent of improvement in nutrient utilization is smaller than has been anticipated. Growth performance is likely improved, but results have been inconsistent due to variations in sources and inclusion levels of dietary organic acids. Differences in other dietary components and experimental environments among previous experiments likely contribute to the variable results. This review suggests that the effects of dietary organic acids on broiler chickens are not fully understood. Further experiments are required to reliably demonstrate the mode of action of dietary organic acids and their growth-promoting effects on broiler chickens. Keywords: acidifiers, gastrointestinal pH, growth performance, microbial population, nutrient utilization. ResumenEl objetivo fue resumir y describir el posible modo de acción de los ácidos orgánicos en la dieta y sus efectos sobre el crecimiento de los pollos de engorde. Experimentos previos sugieren que los ácidos orgánicos dietarios disminuyen el pH de la dieta y posteriormente reducen el pH en el intestino proximal y distal, aumentan la utilización de los nutrientes, e inhiben el crecimiento de bacterias patógenas en el tracto gastrointestinal (GIT). El grado de reducción del pH es generalmente mayor en la parte superior (buche, proventrículo y molleja) que en la parte inferior del GIT (duodeno, yeyuno, íleon y ciego). Se han observado efectos bactericidas de los ácidos orgánicos sobre bacterias patógenas e incluso sobre bacterias beneficiosas en cierta medida. Sin embargo, se han reportado algunos resultados significativos con respecto a la modulación bacteriana en el GIT. Los ácidos orgánicos en la dieta pueden mejorar la utilización de la materia seca y la proteína en algunos experimentos, pero el grado de mejora en la utilización de los nutrientes es más bajo que lo esperado. El crecimiento probablemente mejora, pero los resultados han sido inconsistentes debido a las variaciones en las fuentes y a los niveles de inclusión de los ácidos orgánicos en la dieta. Las diferencias en otros componentes de la dieta y entornos experimentales entre los ensayos anterio...

“…Moreover, several studies have shown that VFAs have antibacterial activity (Dibner and Buttin, 2002;Antongiovanni et al, 2007;Paul et al, 2007;Isabel and Santos, 2009;Khodambashi et al, 2013;Milbradt et al, 2014). Unlike inorganic acids, VFAs are easily absorbed through the cell wall of bacteria and damage the structure of DNA in the cells' nuclei which lead to disrupting bacterial multiply, so cell death can accrue (Van Immerseel et al, 2006;Isabel and Santos, 2009;Milbradt et al, 2014).…”

Effects of in Ovo Injection and Inclusion a Blend of Essential Oils and Organic Acids in High NSPs Diets of Broiler Breeders on Performance of Them and Their Offspring

et al. 2016

Two factorial completely randomized design trials 2×2 and 2×2×2 were conducted to evaluate the effect of a blend of essential oils and organic acids (Biacid TM ) in broiler breeder diets at two levels, two dietary non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs) levels and in ovo injection of Biacid TM on their progenies performance, respectively. 240 broiler breeders of Ross 308 strain were fed from the age of week 44 th for 12 weeks in four groups. 120 produced eggs from each group were divided in two groups of 60 eggs for injecting by 0.5 ml of Biacid TM or distilled water. Injection was done during transferring from setter to hatcher in day 18 th of incubation. Twenty-five cockerels from each of 8 treatments were housed into separate pens. Using Biacid TM and high NSPs in broiler breeders' ration affected hatchability, embryo mortality, weight of day old chicks and progenies' carcass yield significantly (p＜0.05) whereas in ovo injection of Biacid TM did not show significant effects in this regards (p≥0.05). Offspring's abdominal fat was neither affected by broiler breeders' rations nor in ovo injection of Biacid TM (p≥0.05). Biacid TM and high NSPs content in broiler breeders' ration affected all primary and secondary humoral immune responses of progenies against sheep red blood cells (p＜0.05). In ovo injection of Biacid TM increased the primary IgG, primary IgT and secondary IgG responses (p＜0.05). The interaction of the effects of Biacid TM and high NSPs in broiler breeders' ration and also in ovo injection of Biacid TM affected progenies' weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio and European production index significantly (p＜0.05). It seems that using Biacid TM in broiler breeders' diet can modify the undesirable effects of high NSPs content of breeders' ration on performance of their offspring.
