“…This result may indicate that the main effect of AO, from the performance point of view, is to increase the digestion of nutrients. Our results are in agreement with the findings of Falaki et al (2011) that, considering a supplement level of 2 g/kg diet of AO, observed a significant increase of the body weight of broiler chickens. From 1 to 14 days of age, the animals fed with AO showed WG higher than the other groups.…”

This study investigated the effect of different levels and consumption periods of Aspergillus oryzae meal on performance, carcass characteristics, blood variables, and immunity of broiler chickens. A total of 270 (male and female) Ross 308 chicks were randomly assigned to 9 treatment groups. Two levels (2 g/kg diet and 4 g/kg diet as-fed) of Aspergillus oryzae meal (AO) and 4 consumption periods of AO (starter, grower, finisher, and entire period) in a 2 × 4 factorial arrangement were used. Compared with control, AO used during the entire rearing period increased weight gain, reduced relative weight of abdominal fat, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) serum levels, and increased antibody titers against influenza and Newcastle disease vaccination and sheep red blood cells injection. Few differences in the variables considered were found if AO was added to broiler diets only during specific consumption periods, and between the two supplementation levels of AO. In conclusion, the addition of AO to the broiler diet can have beneficial effects in terms of performance, carcass composition, and health, but these positive effects were mainly reached adding AO for the entire rearing period.

“…extract. Consistently with these findings, some researchers observed that feed intake was decreased after the addition of probiotics and prebiotics to broiler diets (Mokhtari et al, 2010;Falaki et al, 2011;Amerah et al, 2013;Olnood et al, 2015), which was attributed to good intestinal health, better nutrient digestion and absorption due to increased nutrient availability (Bedford, 2000).

“…The aforementioned studies have demonstrated that L. acidophilus has the potential to control pathogens in animals (Cogliani et al, 2011) and administration of probiotic microorganisms can increase protein availability. Symbiotics in turn can increase nutrient uptake as well as nitrogen stability (Falaki et al, 2011).…”

“…Pelicano et al ( 46 ) found that growth and FCR were significantly improved when MOS was added with probiotics such as Bacillus subtilis or L. acidophilus and casei , Streptococci lactis and faecium , Bifidobacterium bifidum and Aspergillus oryzae , but the improvements were only evident during 1st to 21 st days of age. Similarly, a mixture of Lactobacillus and Aspergillus fermentative products increased broilers’ BWG ( 52 ). This result was confirmed by Ghahri et al ( 53 ), who observed an increase in feed intake and growth of broilers using a similar synbiotic in diets.…”

Although antibiotics growth promoters (AGPs), including zinc-bacitracin (ZnB), can threaten human health due to developing antimicrobial resistance, as well as drug residue in animal and poultry products, ZnB is still widely used, particularly in developing countries, for the sustainability of poultry farming. The present investigation aims to assess the use of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Lactobacillus acidophilus, with or without a prebiotic (mannooligosaccharide, MOS), as alternatives to ZnB. For this reason, 150 one-day-old chicks were grouped into six groups, designated negative control, LA, SC, ZnB, SA + MOS, and LA + MOS (5 replicates of 5 chicks for each group). Chicks kept in the control group were fed the basal diet. Chickens kept in LA and SC groups received L. acidophilus, S. cerevisiae at a 1 g/kg diet and 2 g/Kg, respectively. Chickens kept in ZnB received ZnB at 0.5 g/kg. Chicks kept in the SC + MOS and LA + MOS were fed a basal diet containing 2 g S. cerevisiae + 1 g MOS/kg or 1 g L. acidophilus + 1 g MOS /kg, respectively. The efficacy was assessed based on the growth performance, carcass traits, meat quality, nutrient digestibility, and blood biochemistry composition during the entire trial 1–36 days of age. Results showed that chicks kept in the SC group had greater BW than the control (p < 0.05). Chicks kept in the SC, LA, SC + MOS, and LA + MOS consumed less feed than the control and Zn-B groups (p < 0.05). Supplementation with S. cerevisiae resulted in a better (p < 0.05) feed conversion rate (FCR) than the control group. Supplementation with L. acidophilus + MOS significantly increased (p < 0.05) the relative liver weight compared to those supplemented with ZnB, S. cerevisiae, and L. acidophilus. In addition, supplementation with ZnB-induced spleen hypertrophy compared to S. cerevisiae and L. acidophilus-supplemented groups (p < 0.05). Plasma, meat, and liver cholesterol, as well as the cholesterol-to-lipid ratio of meat and liver, were significantly decreased (p < 0.05) in both SC and LA groups compared to the control group. Our research indicates that adding 2 g/kg of S. cerevisiae to broiler feed can effectively replace ZnB and enhance productive performance and economic profits, making it a viable and sustainable option for broiler farming.
