Background Sodium butyrate (SB) is a short-chain fatty acid and a safe antibiotic alternative. During 35 days, this study compared the impact of coated SB (Butirex C4) and lincomycin (Lincomix) on broiler growth, gut health, and litter hygiene in 1200 one-day-old Ross-308 broiler chicks that were randomly assigned into 5-dietary groups with 5-replications each. Groups divided as follows: T1: Basal diet (control), T2: Basal diet with buffered SB (1 kg/ton starter feed, 0.5 kg/ton grower-finisher feeds), T3: Basal diet with 100 g/ton lincomycin, T4: Basal diet with buffered SB (0.5 kg/ton starter feed, 0.25 kg/ton grower-finisher feeds) + 50 g/ton lincomycin, and T5: Basal diet with buffered SB (1 kg/ton starter feed, 0.5 kg/ton grower-finisher feeds) + 50 g/ton lincomycin. Birds were housed in a semi-closed deep litter house, where feed and water were available ad libitum. Results were statistically analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey’s post hoc tests. Results Combined dietary supplementation with SB and lincomycin (T4 and T5) significantly enhanced body weights, weight gains, feed conversion ratio, and profitability index. Also, carcasses in T4 and T5 exhibited the highest dressing, breast, thigh, and liver yields. T5 revealed the best blood biochemical indices, while T3 showed significantly elevated liver and kidney function indices. T4 and T5 exhibited the highest expression levels of IGF-1 and TLR4 genes, the greatest villi length of the intestinal mucosa, and the lowest levels of litter moisture and nitrogen. Clostridia perfringens type A alpha-toxin gene was confirmed in birds’ caeca, with the lowest clostridial counts defined in T4. Conclusions Replacing half the dose of lincomycin (50 g/ton) with 0.5 or 1 kg/ton coated SB as a dietary supplement mixture showed the most efficient privileges concerning birds’ performance and health.

“…This was corroborated by Kusumanti and Murwani [49], who found that alternating supplements of 0.025% betel nut and binahong leaf powder for 18 days reduced parasites without affecting hen appearance. Murwani et al [50] continued this research. They found that alternating the administration of betel nut for 3 days followed by binahong leaf for 3 days in three cycles over 18 days improved anti-endoparasitic effects, healed intestinal wounds, and increased serum albumin, and transaminase levels without impacting egg production.…”

The utilization of Binahong leaves or Anredera cordifolia (Ten.) Stennis as a medicinal plant in livestock production and health, has garnered significant attention in recent years. This review paper aims to comprehensively analyze the diverse potential benefits of Binahong leaves in enhancing livestock well-being and productivity. With a focus on its applications in the livestock sector, this review encompasses multiple facets, including the phytochemical composition of Binahong leaves, their pharmacological activities, and their impact on animal health and production. The phytochemical profile of Binahong leaves is examined in detail, highlighting the presence of bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, saponins, and alkaloids, which contribute to their medicinal properties. These compounds exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and immunomodulatory activities, making Binahong leaves a promising natural remedy for addressing health challenges in livestock. Furthermore, the review explores the potential mechanisms by which Binahong leaves can improve livestock health. These mechanisms involve the enhancement of immune responses, the reduction of oxidative stress, and the mitigation of common ailments in animals. Additionally, the effects of Binahong leaves on livestock growth, reproduction, and overall production are discussed, emphasizing their role in sustainable livestock farming. In ruminants, Binahong is beneficial for therapy in Gastroenteritis caused by Bacillus subtilis, for the treatment of eye infections, for overcoming drug resistance in E. coli, and for mastitis therapy in dairy cattle. This review paper suggests the potential utilization of Binahong as an herbal plant or alternative medicine for general health and, specifically, for enhancing livestock productivity.

“…On day 33, intestinal sections (duodenum, jejunum, and ileum) were collected from five birds from each group and flushed with 0.9% saline solution, then preserved, and fixed for 48 h in neutral buffered 10% formalin [ 19 ]. A rotatory microtome was used to prepare 3–4 μm paraffin wax sections, which were deparaffinized, stained with haematoxylin and eosin (H&E), and examined under a light microscope [ 20 ].…”

Impact of dietary-nucleotides and Saccharomyces cerevisiae-derivatives on growth-performance, antioxidant-capacity, immune-response, small-intestine histomorphometry, caecal- Clostridia , and litter-hygiene of broiler-chickens treated with florfenicol

Stress in poultry production is energy-demanding. Nucleotides and yeast cell-wall products are essential nutrients for broiler performance, gut function, and immune response. Antibiotics, like florfenicol, negatively affect the immune system. A total of 600 one-d-old broiler chickens (Cobb-500) were weighed and randomly allotted into four groups with three replicates each. The control group (G1) received the basal diet, G2 received a diet supplemented with a combination of nucleotides and Saccharomyces cerevisiae derivatives (250 g/Ton), G3 received the basal diet and medicated with florfenicol (25 mg/Kg body weight) in drinking water for 5 days, while G4 received a combination of nucleotides and Saccharomyces cerevisiae -derivatives (250 g/Ton) and medicated with florfenicol in drinking water. Growth performance criteria were recorded weekly. Blood, intestinal contents, small-intestine sections, and litter samples were collected to measure birds’ performance, carcass yields, leukocytic counts, antioxidant capacity, antibody titres, phagocytic index, caecal Clostridia , intestinal histomorphometry, and litter hygiene. Nucleotide-supplemented groups (G2 and G4) revealed significant ( p ≤ 0.05) improvements in feed conversion, and body weight, but not for carcass yields in comparison to the control. Dietary nucleotides in G2 elevated blood total proteins, leucocytic count, antioxidant capacity, and phagocytic index, while they lowered blood lipids and litter moisture and nitrogen ( p ≤ 0.05). Dietary nucleotides in G4 ameliorated the immunosuppressive effect of florfenicol ( p ≤ 0.05) indicated in reducing caecal Clostridia , improving duodenal and ileal villi length, and increasing blood albumin and globulin levels, and phagocytosis%. Supplementing diets with nucleotides and yeast products has improved the immune system and provided a healthier gut for broilers.
