“…We did not find statistically significant differences between the control and the treated groups in body weight gain either, which is at variance with the reports of some other researchers (Masanetz et al 2010;Król 2011;Ghosh and Mehla 2012;Heinrichs et al 2013), according to which inulin and MOS increased the daily body weight gain. The values measured and calculated by us correspond to the data of the literature, which vary widely as a result of the already mentioned differences in the feeding technologies.…”

“…The best known fructan is inulin, which is either obtained from the roots of chicory or produced synthetically from saccharose (Niness 1999). Inulin increased the body weight gain (BWG) and slightly improved the feed conversion ratio while decreased the length of intestinal villi and the number of goblet cells and proliferating cells and caused changes in physiological parameters of blood (Masanetz et al 2010(Masanetz et al , 2011.…”

The objective of the study was to examine the effects of mannanoligosaccharide (MOS) or inulin on fourtyfive HF calves' performance and certain physiological parameters. Next to the control group (15 calves, no treatment), 15-15 calves received 18.7 g/calf/day MOS or inulin supplementation with milk replacer from 1st day of age to weaning. Feed intake was measured daily. Body weight was monitored on days 1, 14, 21 and 60. Blood samples were taken on days 30 and 60 to determine clinicochemical parameters Total faecal counts of the main faecal bacteria contents were determined from faecal samples collected on days 15 and 30. Mean feed intake, body weight and daily weight gain were similar in the groups. Inulin caused lower total protein level of the blood. Faecal concentration of total anaerobic bacteria and Lactobacillus was significantly increased by inulin compared to MOS. Inulin caused higher total aerobic bacteria count in faeces compared to control. The germ count of Clostridium perfringens from calves fed inulin was higher than that of other treatments. It should be stated that higher (18.7 g/day/calf) dietary level of inulin or MOS had minor alterations in parameters and failed to significantly modulate performance and physiological parameters of calves.

“…It seems that the improvement in the health status of lambs fed a yeastsupplemented diet positively affected the course of metabolic processes (Milewski et al, 2007;Milewski and Sobiech, 2010). Such effect of prebiotics was also reported by Masanetz et al (2010Masanetz et al ( , 2011 who administered lactulose and inulin to calves. The results of those studies show a clear effect of prebiotics on certain parameters associated with animal health and performance, but effect differ between substances.…”

The effect of supplementary dried brewer's yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, during 100 days rearing period on meat quality of lambs was investigated. Twenty four male Kamieniecka breed lambs were divided into two groups: I -control, II -experimental -supplemented with preparate Inter Yeast ® S, containing Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Meat quality was determined on samples of M. longissimus lumborum (LL) and M. quadriceps femoris (QF), based on the following parameters: chemical composition, physicochemical properties, the fatty acid composition and profile of intramuscular fat, and sensory properties. Meat of lambs from group II contained more dry matter (0.78%) and intramuscular fat (0.33%), compared with control lambs (P<0.01). An increase the red colour component a* (P<0.01) and improvement the waterholding capacity (P<0.01) of meat were also found in the experimental group. The concentrations of C 14:1 , C 18:2 and C 22:6 fatty acids (P<0.05) and conjugated linoleic acid C 18:2 cis9trans11 were higher (P<0.01) and the content of C 20:4 was lower (P<0.01) in the intramuscular fat of lambs from group II. The above changes had no influence on the sensory properties of meat. The content of dry matter and protein was higher, and cooking loss was lower (P<0.001) in LL than in QF muscle. The sensory properties were better in QF muscle.

“…Interestingly, morphological investigations during the same study rather showed a slight decrease in the villus length and number of proliferative cells in the same group (Masanetz et al, 2010). Maybe the main MKI67 expression was not located in the epithelial layer, which was investigated by microscopy, but in other parts of the gut wall.…”

Prebiotics are suggested as an alternative to antibiotics in animal rearing. Fermentable substances such as inulin or lactulose have been proposed to stimulate the immune system and health by modulation of the intestinal flora and its fermentation products. In this study, effects of inulin and lactulose on the intestinal health and hematology of calves have been investigated. Both prebiotics significantly decreased thrombocyte counts in peripheral blood. Only inulin was able to increase hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit. Total leukocyte count was decreased by lactulose while both prebiotics tended to lower monocyte proportions. mRNA expression of inflammation-related markers in the intestine was also affected by both prebiotics hinting at a decreased inflammatory status. This may be due to a possible decrease in intestinal pathogen load that remains to be verified. Only mRNA amounts of interleukin 8 were increased by lactulose in mesenteric lymph nodes. In the ileum, expression of a proliferation marker was increased by inulin while an apoptosis-related gene was increased by both prebiotics. The results of this study show a clear effect of prebiotics on certain parameters associated with animal health and performance that remain to be studied in detail in future investigations.
