“…Dietary supplementation with chitooligosaccharide (COS) improved the growth rate of broilers, which was likely mediated through the effects of COS on FI and nutrient digestibility. COS may also serve as a growth promoter in broiler production by modulating the concentrations of intestinal microbial flora, as this additive increased the concentrations of cecal lactobacilli and reduced the caecal concentrations of Eubacterium coli (Li et al, 2007). In the current work, BW was greater than controls in animals fed the FC diet, and faecal energy, ADF, NDF and NSP apparent digestibilities were greater than controls in chickens fed diets containing inulin or FC.…”

In vitro and in vivo experiments were designed to evaluate the effectiveness of laboratory-made di-D-fructose dianhydride (DFA)-enriched caramels. The DFA-enriched caramels were obtained from D-fructose (FC), D-fructose and sucrose (FSC), or D-fructose and β-cyclodextrin (FCDC). In the in vitro experiment, raftilose and all caramels increased (P < 0.05) L-lactate concentration and decreased (P < 0.05) pH. Total short-chain fatty acid concentration was higher (P < 0.05) than controls in tubes containing raftilose, FSC, FCDC and commercial sucrose caramel (CSC). Raftilose, and all caramels tested except FSC and FC (1%), increased (P < 0.01) lactobacilli log 10 number of copies compared with the non-additive control. FSC, FCDC and CSC increased (P < 0.01) the bifidobacteria number of copies as compared with controls. All additives, except FCDC, decreased (P < 0.01) Clostridium coccoides/ Eubacterium rectale log number of copies. Compared with controls, raftilose, FC and CSC led to lower (P < 0.01) EscherichiaShigella and enterobacteria. For the in vivo experiment, a total of 144 male 1-day-old broiler chickens of the Cobb strain were randomly assigned to one of the three dietary treatments for 21 days. Dietary treatments were control (commercial diet with no additive), inulin (20 g inulin/kg diet) and FC (20 g FC/kg diet). Final BW of birds fed FC diet was higher (P < 0.01) than controls or inulin-fed birds, although feed: gain values were not different. Feed intake of chickens fed FC was higher (P < 0.01) than that of inulin-fed birds but not statistically different from controls. Crop pH values were lower (P < 0.01) in birds fed FC diet as compared with control diet, with inulin-fed chickens showing values not different from control-or FC-fed birds. Lower (P < 0.05) lactobacilli number of copies was determined in the crop, ileum and caeca of birds fed the inulin diet compared with the control diet. Inulin supplementation also resulted in lower (P < 0.05) C. coccoides/E. rectale, bacteroides and total bacteria in caecal contents. Addition of FC to broiler diets gave place to lower (P < 0.05) enterobacteria and Escherichia-Shigella in crop and caecal contents compared with controls. The bacteroides number of copies increased (P < 0.05) as compared with controls in the ileum, but decreased (P < 0.05) in the caeca of chickens fed the FC diet. Energy, ADF, NDF and non-starch polysaccharides faecal digestibilities were greater (P < 0.05) than controls in chickens fed diets containing inulin or FC. Fat digestibility was higher (P < 0.05) in FC-fed birds compared with controls or inulin-fed chickens. In conclusion, DFA-enriched caramels tested here, particularly FC, may represent a type of new additives useful in poultry production.

“…However in antibiotic growth promoter treated groups, total cholesterol and triglyceride levels significantly (P<0.05) increased compared to the probiotic treated groups ( Table 2). Addition of antibiotics shows a higher blood triglyceride and cholesterol level (Li et al, 2007). These increased levels are attributed to the degraded effect of such antibiotics on the absorption of fat in the GI tract (Mansoub, 2011).…”

Objective: The present work was conducted on Cobb-500 broilers fed with either probiotics (Yogurt, Promax ® ) or antibiotic growth promoters (Ciproflox ® , Renamycin ® ) to assess the effects on body weight and biochemical parameters. Materials and methods: A total of 30 day-old broiler chicks were purchased and acclimatized for 7 days in the experimental shed. After initial acclimatization, the broilers were allotted into five equal groups (n=6). Group A was considered as control and was fed commercial ration and fresh drinking water. Groups B and C were fed commercial ration and probiotics (Yogurt, Promax ® ) respectively mixed in water. Groups D and E received commercial ration and antibiotic growth promoters (Ciproflox ® , Renamycin ® ) respectively with water. Body weight of each bird was recorded on day 7, 14, 21, 28 and 35. At the end of trial period, the birds were sacrificed to collect blood in order to prepare serum samples for biochemical analyses considering total cholesterol, triglyceride, high density lipids (HDL), creatinine, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). Results: Body weight in all treatment groups (B, C, D and E) was significantly (P<0.05) higher as compared to control (A) group. Total cholesterol and triglyceride levels significantly (P<0.05) decreased in probiotics treated groups as compared to control and antibiotic growth promoters treated groups. AST and ALT values increased significantly (P<0.05) in antibiotic growth promoters treated groups as compared to control whereas, these values decreased in probiotics treated groups. Creatinine levels were significantly (P<0.05) higher in antibiotic growth promoters treated groups as compared to all others groups. Conclusion: Significantly increased body weight is observed in probiotics and antibiotic growth promoters supplemented broilers. Probiotics also improve the lipid profile and other biochemical parameters as compared to growth promoter. Probiotics (like Yogurt and Promax ® ) seem to be better choice than antibiotic growth promoters as feed supplements.

“…The inclusion level of COS used in the current study was based on previous work by Liu et al (2008) and Li et al (2007). It is hypothesised that the supplementation of varying MW of COS will improve pig growth performance due to the biological properties of COS, resulting in altered microbiota and digestibility in the gastrointestinal tract.…”

An experiment (complete randomised design) was conducted to investigate the effects of supplementing different molecular weights (MW) of chitooligosaccharide (COS) on pig performance, selected microbial populations and nutrient digestibility post-weaning. A total of 396 weaned piglets (24 days of age, 7.3 kg 6 (s.d.) 1.7 kg live weight) were assigned to one of six dietary treatments (22 replicates/ treatment) for a 33-day experimental period. The dietary treatments were as follows (1) control diet (0 ppm COS), (2) control diet plus ,1 kDa COS, (3) control diet plus 3 to 5 kDa COS, (4) control diet plus 5 to 10 kDa COS, (5) control diet plus 10 to 50 kDa COS and (6) control diet plus 50 to 100 kDa COS. The COS were included at 250 ppm in the diets. There was no significant effect of dietary treatment on piglet performance during the starter period (days 0 to 18; P . 0.05). However, there were quadratic responses in both daily gain (P , 0.05) and gain to feed ratio (P , 0.05) to the increased MW of COS inclusion during the weaner period (days 18 to 33) with all COS-supplemented treatments improving daily gain and gain to feed ratio compared with the control. There was a quadratic response in faecal scoring to the increased MW of COS inclusion from days 0 to 7 (P , 0.001), days 7 to 14 (P , 0.001) and during the overall experimental period (P , 0.01) with all the COS-supplemented treatments having an improved faecal score compared with the control. During the weaner period, there was a cubic response in lactic acid bacteria and Escherichia coli populations as the MW of COS increased (P , 0.05). The 5 to 10 kDa and 10 to 50 kDa COS increased lactic acid bacteria populations compared with the control, whereas lactic acid bacteria populations decreased at 50 to 100 kDa. The 5 to 10 kDa, 10 to 50 kDa and 50 to 100 kDa COS decreased E. coli populations compared with the control. There was a cubic response in the apparent total tract digestibility of dry matter (DM; P , 0.01), organic matter (OM; P , 0.01), ash (P , 0.01), nitrogen (N; P , 0.01) and gross energy (GE; P , 0.01) to the increased MW of COS inclusion during the weaner period. The 5 to 10 kDa COS had a higher apparent total tract digestibility of DM, OM, ash, N and GE in comparison to the control, whereas the apparent total tract nutrient digestibility of these nutrients decreased at 10 to 50 kDa. The current results indicate that the MW ranges of 5 to 10 kDa and 10 to 50 kDa COS decreased E. coli numbers while increasing nutrient digestibility of the diets.
