“…This decreasing trend was observed as the concentration of monosodium glutamate was increased in the drinking water and this finding is in line with Rahimian et al (2016), who also recorded a decrease in Escherichia coli count when another growth promoter (black pepper) was included in the diet of broilers. However, the findings of this research contradict the findings of Azine et al (2018), who reported an increasing trend of Escherichia coli count when the concentration of monosodium glutamate was increased in broilers diet.…”

“…Carcass yields of the experimental population were not influenced by the administration of MSG. However, carcass yields generally were high for this study but carcass yield finding in this study is contrary to the findings of Azine et al, (2018) who reported a significant higher carcass yield (73.95%) in 2mg of MSG in broilers diet.…”

“…Due to health concern, the use of growth promoters like Antibiotics, Arsenical and antimicrobial have been under critic because of their residues in meat and these residues can reduce human resistance to especially antibiotics and other hazards. As results of these residual effects on public health, many natural and synthetic substances have been studied (Ruegg, 2013, Singh et al, 2014, Azine et al, 2018. Among this substance are essential oil, probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotic, herbal preparation and amino acid salt such Monosodium glutamate (MSG) (Khadiga et al, 2009, Gbore et al, 2016, Ngouana et al, 2017.…”

The purpose of this research was to assess the efficiency of monosodium glutamate (MSG) as growth promoter in broiler chicken production. The study evaluated the effect of varying concentrations of MSG in the drinking water of broiler chickens on their growth performance, carcass characteristics and caecal Escherichia coli population. Ninety (90) chicks at 21 days of age were randomly selected and assigned to 5 treatment groups (0g/L, 2g/L, 3g/L, 4g/L and 5g/L) of MSG concentrations in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 18 chicks per treatment and 6 chicks per replicate. MSG was administered in the drinking water. Feed and water were given ad-libitum and light provided 24 hours. The parameters measured were feed intake, weight gain, feed conversion efficiency, carcass dress weight, digestive organ traits and caecal Escherichia coli concentrations. Data collected were analysed using one-way ANOVA in GenStat (version 8). The results of the study showed an improvement (P<0.05) in feed intake and daily weight gain at 5g/L concentration and the highest (P<0.05) feed conversion efficiency was achieved at concentrations of 2 and 3g/L respectively. Carcass dress weight, liver and intestinal weights increased (P<0.05) at a concentration of 5g/L. However, those group of birds on 2g/L MSG concentration had the highest (P<0.05) heart weight and those of birds in the control had the highest (P<0.05) intestinal length. Escherichia coli concentration in the caeca reduced (P<0.05) as the concentration of MSG increased in the drinking water of birds. In conclusion, MSG supplementation in broiler chickens production could improve growth performance and reduce pathogenic microbes especially E. coli.

“…In order to solve the problem of bacterial resistance due to the use of antibiotics as feed additive, many compounds have been identified as an alternative to antibiotics growth promoters in poultry production. Among those compounds we can list phytobiotics [1], amino acid salts such as monosodium glutamate [2] and nitrogenous compounds such as methenamine [3].…”

Microbial resistance in livestock has become a subject of great concern of public and scientific interest. This study was designed to assess the effects of methenamine feeding regime on growth performances of broilers chickens. For this purpose, 120 chicks of Cobb 500 strain, including 60 males and 60 females of 21 days old with an average weight of 639 g and 584 g respectively were used. They were randomly distributed in 60 experimental units of 2 chicks of same sex per cage until 49 days. Methenamine was incorporated in feed (TA), acidified (TEa) and non acidified (TE) water and compared to an antibiotic medicated diet as positive control (T0 + ) and a ration without any supplement as negative control (T0). The main results showed that, regardless of the feeding regime, methenamine significantly (p < 0.05) increased feed inteake, body weight, weight gain and decreased (p < 0.05) feed conversion ratio. Methenamine whatever the feeding regime induced a significant increase in lactic acid bacteria counts compared to coliforms and coccidies counts. Salmonella were absent throughout the trial period. Regardless of sex and feeding regime, hematological parameters were not significantly affected, with the exception of white blood cell and platelet concentration that decreased significantly (p < 0.05) in male broilers. Serum content in ASAT (Aspartate-transferase), ALAT (Alanine-transferase), creatinine, urea and LDLcholesterol decreased significantly (p < 0.05), while HDL-cholesterol increased. Histology of organs was not affected. Feeding methenamine to broiler chickens through drinking water can be used as an alternative to antibiotic
