“…Enteric diseases are most prevalent in pre-weaned calves and disease is often accompanied by suppressed appetite of both milk and grain resulting in reduced growth rates [12]. Several studies included in this paper noted an improved grain intake in Bio-Mos ® -supplemented calves and an improved feed efficiency [5,10,13,14]. The improved daily gain may be partly attributed to an increased nutrient intake and partly to an improved feed efficiency.…”

Objective: This meta-analysis determines the effect of BioMos ® , a mannan-oligosaccharide, supplementation to preweaned dairy source calves on average daily weight gain (ADG) pre-weaning. Methods:A literature search was performed and peerreviewed studies and abstract proceedings were included. Studies were included where Bio-Mos ® -supplemented calves were compared to control calves and weights were measured pre-weaning. A random effect meta-analysis was performed for overall effect and also comparing the effect stratified on type of liquid feed that the calves received.Results: A total of 23 cohort studies performed in USA, United Kingdom, Brazil, Chile, the Czech republic, India, Japan, Peru, Poland, Spain and Turkey between 1993 and 2012 were included in the meta-analysis. The Bio-Mos ® supplementation ranged from 2-10 g per day, with an average inclusion of 3.8 g per day. Twenty-one studies reported an increased daily weight gain in calves fed BioMos ® in milk or milk replacer compared to control calves. The random effects meta-analysis model estimated that Bio-Mos ® -supplemented calves gained 0.064 kg/day (95% CI 0.047-0.081 kg/day) more than unsupplemented control calves (P-value <0.01). When stratified on type of feed, the estimates were similar; for milk replacer calves a 0.055 kg/day increased weight gain, for milk feed calves a 0.071 kg/day weigh gain and for waste milk/milk replacer calves a 0.068 kg/day weight gain advantage in Bio-Mos ® -supplemented calves compared to unsupplemented control calves. Funnel plots indicated no publication bias or reporting bias. Conclusion:The meta-analysis concludes that Bio-Mos ® supplementation of milk or milk replacer can be expected to on average result in 64 g more weight gain per day in preweaned dairy calves, which would correspond to 3.8 kilo higher weights for calves weaned at 2 months of age.

“…However, it has been questioned recently, whether the total amount of mannose in the yeast cell wall is responsible for immobilizing enteric pathogens. A plethora of literature describes various adherence mechanisms and proposed mode(s) of action of yeast derivatives (Mourao et al 2006;Oyofo et al 1989;Sharon and Ofek 2000;Shoaf-Sweeney and Hutkins 2008;Snellings et al 1997;Spring et al 2000;Terre et al 2007;Yang et al 2008). ShoafSweeney and Hutkins (2008) propose that the adhesion affinity is defined by the valency of protein-oligosaccharide interactions.…”

Yeast derivatives including yeast cell wall components are promising alternatives to antibiotics with respect to the promotion of health and performance in livestock, based on their capacity to bind enteropathogenic bacteria and to beneficially modulate the immune system. However, these mode(s) of action both in vitro and in vivo are still not well understood. Furthermore, standardization and reproducibility of in vitro techniques (microbiology, cell culture assays) are critical features for the application of yeast derivatives as well as for the proof of effectiveness. Yeast cell wall products are suggested as anti-adhesive agents and are thus proposed to prevent attachment of certain intestinal bacteria by providing alternative adhesion sites to enterobacteria, which contain mannose-specific type I fimbriae such as Escherichia coli or Salmonella spp. and which is well documented. Various in vitro assay techniques have become of paramount importance for biotechnological research since they allow for determination and quantification of potential mode(s) of action. However, in vitro assays may be criticized by product end users as not accurately reflecting in vivo responses. Pro and cons of different assays and their bias will be discussed specifically regarding yeast cell wall components and adhesion of enteropathogenic bacteria. Immunomodulation is a therapeutic approach intervening in auto-regulating processes of the defense system. Yeast derivatives such as beta-glucans are proposed to interact with cells of the innate immune system by receptor recognition. Controversial data in literature and mode(s) of action are reviewed and discussed here.

“…Mannanoligosaccharide is non-digestible carbohydrate derived from Saccharomyces cerevesasiae cell wall, fermented in the large intestine that prevents adhesion of pathogenic bacteria to the mucous epithelium (Kogen and Kocher, 2007). Some researchers have reported that prebiotics like MOS has many properties like increased performance (Heinrichs et al, 2003), increased feed intake (Terre et al, 2007), enhanced immune response (Schumann, 2002) and better intestinal microbial balance (Quigley et al, 1997;Dar et al, 2017b). Shim, (2005 reported that synbiotics were more efficient than probiotics or prebiotics.…”

A study was conducted on 24 fifteen day old crossbred calves that were divided into 4 groups of 6 calves each. The calves were fed different dietary treatments viz T 0 (control group) -basal diet, T 1 (probiotic group) -basal diet + Lactobacillus acidophilus @ 1 g/calf/day (2 x 10 10 cfu/ g), T 2 (prebiotic group) -basal diet + Mannan oligosaccharide (MOS) @ 4 g per calf/day and T 3 (synbiotic group) basal diet + Lactobacillus acidophilus @ 0.5 gm (2 x 10 10 cfu/ g) + 2 g MOS per calf/day respectively for a period of 90 days. Blood samples were taken at monthly interval and serum was separated to estimate different biochemical parameters. The results of study indicated that probiotic (Lactobacillus acidophilus), prebiotic (MOS) and synbiotic supplementation were effective in reduction of serum cholesterol and triglycerides at 60 th and 90 th day. Serum creatinine, glucose, urea and bilirubin were unaffected by dietary supplementation of probiotic, prebiotic (MOS) and synbiotic. There was no effect of T 1, T 2 and T 3 supplementation on Serum enzymes, Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and Alanine Amino Transferase (ALT).
