“…In the current study, DFM-1 and DFM-2 groups had higher acetate and total VFA than the control or antibiotic groups; moreover, the DFM-2 group had greater propionate levels than other treatments which results in reducing number of cecal E. coli. Similarly, broiler fed with a mixture of 11 probiotic Lactobacillus stains had decreased population of E. coli in cecal digesta through production of more acetic acid, propionic acid and total VFA (Mookiah et al, 2014).…”

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (BA) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC) as directed-fed microbials on performance, intestinal microflora, and intestinal morphology in broiler chickens. A total of four hundred one-day-old broiler chickens were randomly divided into 16 pens of 25 chickens each, and every treatment had 4 replicated pens with two pens of males and females respectively. A formulated cornsoybean meal based control diets and experimental diets, including 0.1% BA (1×10 7 colony-forming units (CFU)/kg), the mixture of 0.05% BA (5×10 6 CFU/kg) and 0.05% SC (5×10 6 CFU/kg), and 10 ppm antibiotic (avilamycin), were fed for 5 weeks. The results showed no significant difference in the growth performance among all treatments. Supplementation of the mixture of BA and SC increased acetate and propionate and decreased the E. coli in ceca compared to control and antibiotic treatment. The treatments with antibiotic, BA, and the mixture of BA and SC compared to control treatment increased villus height / crypt depth ratio and decreased ammonia in excreta. In addition, supplementation of BA and the mixture of BA and SC compared to antibiotic treatment increased serum high-density lipoprotein, and decreased serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase, respectively. In conclusion, supplementation of the mixture of BA and SC was better than added BA only, and the mixed probiotics product could potentially alter the use of avilamycin in broiler diets.

“…It should also possess property of rapid multiplication so as to produce microbial population required for producing desirable effect. Further, the strain used should not impart antibiotic resistance into the intestinal microflora (Seema & Johri, 1992;Pal & Chander, 1999;Dhama et al, 2011;Mookiah et al, 2014).…”

“…The supplementation of both probiotics and prebiotics could improve the survival and persistence of the useful organism in the gut of birds as specific substrate is available for fermentation Adil & Magray, 2012). Synbiotics were effective in improving the growth of broiler in the diet of chickens (AbdelRaheem et al, 2012;Mookiah et al, 2014). Feeding of synbiotics in broiler chicken was found to have beneficial effect on intestinal morphology and nutrient absorption leading to enhanced performance (Awad et al, 2008;Hassanpour et al, 2013).…”

Poultry industry has undergone rapid growth during last three decades. For which even higher usage of antibiotics, both as growth promoters as well as therapeutic agents, has been adopted. However, due to the fear of resistance development in bacterial populations to antibiotics, presence of antibiotic residues in poultry products and increasing consumer demand for products free from antibiotic residues, search for alternatives that could replace antibiotics without causing loss to productivity or product quality has accelerated. Such alternatives in poultry include the use of organic acids, probiotic microorganisms, prebiotic substrates that benefit proliferation of beneficial bacterial populations or synbiotic (combinations of prebiotics and probiotics) ensuring better production and maintaining health of the birds. Others include vitamins and minerals, herbal drugs, plant extracts, phytobiotics and antimicrobial peptides. Probiotic organisms provides competition to pathogenic organisms for intestinal colonizing sites, reduce the diversion of nutrients for harmful microbes and the toxins produced by them and stimulates the immune systems. Similarly, prebiotic offers an alternative, as it alters the intestinal microbes and immune system to reduce colonization by pathogens and allows proliferation of beneficial microflora in the gut. Even using synbiotic is a better strategy for enhancing poultry production, however, more research is needed for selection of probiotic, prebiotics or synbiotics either alone or in combination that can result in the selection of strains capable of performing effectively in the gastrointestinal tract. The contents of this review will be useful for researchers to enrich their knowledge on alternatives of antibiotics in poultry birds without compromising performance of birds and bird welfare.

“…(2012) bahwa nilai konversi pakan yang rendah menunjukkan bahwa efisiensi penggunaan pakan yang baik, karena semakin efisien ayam mengkonsumsi pakan untuk memproduksi daging. Indeks konversi ransum akan naik apabila hubungan antara jumlah energi dalam formula dan kadar protein disesuaikan secara teknis (Mookiah et al, 2014). Nilai konversi ransum dipengaruhi oleh jumlah konsumsi ransum dan pertambahan bobot badan (Usman, 2009;Zuidhof et al, 2014).…”

ABSTRACT:Residu bahan kimia dalam produk pangan asal ternak merupakan ancaman serius bagi keamanan pangan dan kesehatan. Desinfeksi merupakan program biosecurity yang wajib dilaksanakan dalam proses pemeliharaan ayam broiler, oleh karena itu, untuk menjaga keamanan produk, diperlukan inovasi dan alternatif untuk menggantikan desinfektan kimia sintetis yang sampai saat ini masih digunakan oleh peternak. Daun babadotan (Ageratum conyzoides) diketahui memiliki daya antibakteri yang mampu menghambat perkembangan dan membunuh bakteri patogen. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan desinfektan herbal berbahan dasar ekstrak daun babadotan terhadap produktivitas ayam broiler yang diketahui berdasarkan pertambahan bobot badan harian (PBBH) dan konversi pakan (Feed Convertion Rate, FCR). Penelitian ini menggunakan desinfektan herbal konsentrasi 1% dan 1,5%, serta desinfektan sintetis komersial 1,5% sebagai pembanding. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa PBBH ayam broiler yang dipelihara dengan menggunakan desinfektan herbal dan sintetis tidak berbeda (P>0,05). Nilai PBBH desinfektan herbal 1% dan 1,5% adalah 35,11 dan 33,69 g/ekor/hari, sedangkan desinfektan sintetis 32,75 g/ekor/hari. Nilai FCR ayam pada pemeliharaan menggunakan desinfektan herbal juga menunjukkan hasil yang sama (P>0,05) dengan desinfektan sintetis. Nilai FCR desinfektan herbal 1% dan 1,5% adalah 1,6 dan 1,67. Sedangkan FCR desinfektan sintetis sebesar 1,63. Berdasarkan data tersebut disimpulkan bahwa desinfektan herbal ekstrak daun babadotan dapat digunakan dalam kegiatan biosecurity di peternakan ayam broiler sebagai pengganti desinfektan sintetis.
