“…Many studies have shown that synbiotics are good substitutes for antibiotics in feed (Estrada, Drew, & Van Kessel, 2001;Guerra-Ordaz et al, 2013). The reasons are that probiotics and prebiotics can synergistically promote growth of animals as well as improve their resistance to infections by equilibrating intestinal microbiota and stimulating the immune system (Fan, Chang, Yin, Wang, & Dang, 2015;Guerra-Ordaz et al, 2013;Liu et al, 2016). A previous study suggested that synbiotics containing L. plantarum and lactulose increased ADG in weaned pigs (Guerra-Ordaz et al, 2014).…”

This experiment aimed to investigate the effects of a symbiotic, consisting of microencapsulated Lactobacillus plantarum (MLP) and fructooligosaccharide (FOS) on growth performance, blood immune parameters, and intestinal microbiota in weaned piglets. Ninety weaned piglets were assigned to three dietary groups (CON: basal diet; ANT: basal diet + aureomycin; SYN: basal diet + MLP and FOS) for a four-week trial. Compared to CON, pigs in the SYN group had higher weight gain and feed intake, and lower diarrhea rate (P < .05). Also, pigs in the SYN group had improved plasma IgA and IgG concentrations, and increased (P < .05) numbers of lactic acid bacteria in the colon compared to CON. In conclusion, feeding a synbiotic based on MLP and FOS had beneficial effects on growth performance, plasma immune parameters, and intestinal microbiota, indicating the potential of it to serve as an alternative to feed antibiotics in weaned pig diets.

“…This result indicated that LJ could improve the development of the jejunum and ileum. Probiotics can also enhance the growth performance by improving the activities of different digestive enzymes ( Timmerman et al, 2006 ; Fan et al, 2015 ). Similarly, the present study showed considerably higher activities of trypsin in the jejunum and lipase in both the jejunum and ileum relative to those of the control group.…”

Live Probiotic Lactobacillus johnsonii BS15 Promotes Growth Performance and Lowers Fat Deposition by Improving Lipid Metabolism, Intestinal Development, and Gut Microflora in Broilers

Numerous studies have focused on the beneficial effects of probiotics in animals. Even so, additional information should be obtained about the mechanisms by which a useful probiotic strain successfully exerts such beneficial effects. In this study, we evaluated the effect of the dietary supplementation of both live and disrupted Lactobacillus johnsonii (LJ) strain BS15 in broilers at different ages. Specifically, growth performance, lipid metabolism, gut microbiota, intestinal development, and digestive ability of the broilers were assessed. A total of 180 1-day-old Cobb 500 chicks were randomly distributed into three groups. These chicks were fed diets supplemented with 1 × 106 colony-forming units (cfu) LJ per gram of feed (LJ group); 1 × 106 cfu disrupted LJ per gram of feed (D-LJ group); and de Man, Rogosa, and Sharpe liquid medium (control group), respectively, throughout a 42-day experimental period. The results demonstrated that LJ supplementation of feed had a positive effect on the average daily gain and starter feed conversion ratio. In addition, LJ supplementation of feed decreased serum triglyceride and low-density lipid cholesterol levels, as well as abdominal fat deposition. LJ also reduced the mRNA levels of lipoprotein lipase in adipose tissue and stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 in the liver. LJ diminished the mRNA quantities of the sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c and fatty acid synthase, as well as increased the level of serum high-density lipid cholesterol. LJ increased the mRNA quantities of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α, acyl-CoA oxidase in the liver, and carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1. LJ also improved the intestinal development and digestive ability mainly by increasing the villus height/crypt depth ratio in the ileum. The probiotic increased the levels of epidermal growth factor and insulin-like growth factor-1, as well as the activities of trypsin and lipase in the jejunum and ileum. LJ exerted beneficial effects on the intestinal flora. Specifically, LJ markedly enhanced the population of Bacteroidetes and Lactobacillus spp. Moreover, the probiotic reduced the population of Enterobacteriaceae and the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio. Slight changes caused by disrupted LJ were detected. These findings indicated that live LJ supplementation may promote growth performance and lower fat deposition in broilers.

“…Recently, the swine industry has been trying to make some dietary mixtures using enzymes and/or probiotics to have their beneficial effects all together. There are some studies to verify the effects of dietary mixtures of enzymes and probiotics [2,10,23,24], but the experimental evidence for their positive or negative effects in pig diets is limited. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate effects of dietary mixture of protease and probiotics on growth performance, blood constituents, and carcass characteristics of growing-finishing pigs.…”

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary mixture of protease and probiotics on growth performance, blood constituents, and carcass characteristics of growing-finishing pigs. A total of 48 growing pigs were randomly allotted into 2 dietary (6 pigs/pen; 4 replicates/treatment). The treatments were a diet based on corn and soybean meal (CON) and CON supplemented with 0.01% of dietary mixture of protease and probiotics (MULTI). No differences were found on growth performance (average daily gain, ADG; overall, 874.06 vs. 881.14 g/d; p > 0.05), blood constituents (white blood cell, WBC; phase I, 17.51 vs. 19.96 × 103 /μL; phase II, 19.65 vs. 21.95 × 103 /μL; p > 0.05), and carcass characteristics during overall experimental period between CON and MULTI. In conclusion, the addition of dietary mix-ture of protease and probiotics in growing-finishing pig diet did not have any beneficial effects.
