“…They also reported that broiler thigh and breast weight were elevated after adding single or combined dietary supplements of MOS and probiotics. Yeast based MOS supplementation improved carcass characteristics and blood biochemical parameters in broiler chickens (26). Similar results were seen in our present study.…”

A study was conducted to investigate the impact of degraded date pits (DDP) on the development and morphology of the intestine in broilers. Trichoderma reesei was used to produce the DDP using a solid-state degradation method. One hundred and eighty broilers were divided into six treatments in triplicate groups of 10 chicks each. The dietary treatments were: positive control with corn-soy basal diet, negative control with corn-soy basal diet + 20% oxytetracycline at 0.05%, corn-soy basal diet + 10% DDP, cornsoy basal diet + 0.2% mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS), corn-soy basal diet + 0.2% mannose and corn-soy basal diet + 0.1% mannose for 6 weeks. The results indicate that a 10% DDP diet increased the activities of the pancreatic enzymes, the villus length, and the villus/crypt ratio, and decreased the crypt depth of the intestine. In conclusion, when compared to oxytetracycline and MOS, DDP can be used as a replacement for antibiotic growth promoters for broilers while improving gut development and intestinal health.

“…Results ofMuhammad et al (2020) were also similar to our study they recorded that MOS supplemented group has signi cantly higher antibody titer against NDV as than control group but lower than probiotic group. Similar results were also found byWaqas et al (2019) as MOS supplemented group showed higher antibody titer against NDV as compared to control group.…”

The study was designed to investigate the effect of mannan-oligosaccharide (MOS) supplementation on intestinal histomorphology, immunity against Newcastle disease virus (NDV) and productive parameters of broilers. A total of 1800 day old broiler chicks of Cobb-500 strain were selected and randomly assorted into 6 treatment groups: T1 (basal diet without antibiotics as negative control); T2 (basal diet plus antibiotics as positive control group); T3 (basal diet plus 200g/ton MOS); T4 (basal diet plus 400g/ton MOS); T5 (basal diet plus 600g/ton MOS) and T6 (basal diet plus 800g/ton MOS). Each treatment was having 6 replicates and the feed intake, body weight gain and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were recorded on weekly basis. Results showed that, MOS supplemented birds have significantly higher feed intake, weight gain and FCR (P < 0.05). Similarly, supplementation of MOS showed positive effect on villus height and crypt depth both in jejunum and ilium. Goblet cell density was unaffected by MOS addition (P < 0.05). Furthermore, birds fed with diets containing MOS, exhibited better productive performance in comparison to positive and negative control groups. In conclusion, MOS can replace antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) as non-microbial performance-enhancing feed advocates.

“…Other studies demonstrated that prebiotic supplementation in the broiler diet had no significant difference in growth performance (Li et al, 2017;Zhou et al, 2019). As well, Waqas et al (2018) affirmed that the dietary prebiotic supplementation did not exert (P>0.05) body weight and body gain. Nevertheless, other researchers reported that supplementation of prebiotics had significantly improved productive traits (Munyaka et al, 2012;Bednarczyk et al, 2016;Adhikari and Kim 2017).…”

This study aimed to investigate the effect of the inclusion of Saccharomyces cerevisiae-derived prebiotic, on broiler’s diets as a potential substitute for antibiotics growth promoters (AGPs) in poultry production, on performance, carcass characteristics, and meat quality of broiler chickens. For a total of 224 (-1 days old) Arbor Acres chickens of either sex were randomly assigned to four dietary treatments each consisting of seven replicates and each replicates having 8 birds/ cage. The experiment duration was 42 days. The dietary treatments were (P0) The birds were fed a basal diet without prebiotic, (P1) basal diet with 1g of prebiotic, (P2) basal diet with 1.5g of prebiotic, and (P3) basal diet with 2g of prebiotic. Average weight (AW), Daily Weight Gain (DWG), FI (Feed Intake), Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), Mortality Rate (MR), hot and cold carcass weight, yield, and muscle weights were measured. Meat quality was evaluated by determining the pH and color values of the CIE Lab Color System. A sensory analysis was performed. Results showed no significant difference in growth performance (P>0.05). Indeed, the control group had a significantly higher BW compared with experimental treatments P1, P2, and P3. Furthermore, broiler DWG did not differ (P>0.05) between the control and the experimental groups. Likewise, no significant differences were observed between treatments regarding FI, FCR, and mortality (P>0.05). The overall mortality rate during the experimental period was low in the control group (0%) compared to the group fed prebiotic (0.2%). No significant effect was observed regarding pH 30 min and ultimate pH (P>0.05). However, a significant difference has occurred in the meat color (P= 0.03). Therefore, meat quality showed no alteration when prebiotic was added during the starter period. It was concluded that the Saccharomyces cerevisiae-derived prebiotic added to the broiler diet at doses up to 2g/kg during the starter period did not improve performance, but could maintain meat quality. Further investigations are needed to clarify the effect of duration prebiotics administration on meat quality in broiler chickens.
