“…It is however surprising that birds on probiotic and enzyme supplemented diets had very low counts of lactobacillus. Contrary to above finding, Biswas et al (2018) reported an increase in the ileal and caecal Lactobacilli counts on days 21 and 42 in broiler chickens fed probiotic supplemented diets. In the present result, supplementation of mixed probiotic-enzyme and individual enzyme resulted in a lowered total E. coli count in comparison to the un-supplemented control.…”

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of enzyme, probiotic or their combinations on growth response, microbiota and gut histopathological indices of broiler chicken. One hundred and fifty (150) one-day old unsexed Arbor Acre broiler chicks were weighed and randomly allotted to 5 dietary treatments; each diet had 5 replicates of 6 birds each in the study that lasted for 42 days. Treatment 1 consists of the basal diet (negative control; NC): Treatment 2 was NC+0.1% antibiotic (positive control), Treatment 3: NC+0.4% probiotic, Treatment 4: NC+0.1% enzyme and Treatment 5: NC+0.4% probiotic+0.1% enzyme. Performance indices were measured. On day 42, ileal digesta was collected from two birds per replicate for microbial count while about 5 cm of distal ileum was severed for histopathology. The results showed that diets had no significant (p>0.05) effect on the performance of birds at the starter and finisher phases. Total heterotrophic counts of birds fed with basal and probiotic diets were similar but significantly (p<0.05) higher than other diets. The highest Lactobacilli count was recorded in the mixture of probiotic + enzyme diet while least was observed in probiotic (2.58×105 cfu/ml) and enzyme supplemented diets (1.45×105 cfu/ml). Total coliform count of birds fed antibiotic diet was significantly (p<0.05) lower (14.12×105 cfu/ml) than for those on other diets. Total Escherichia coli count was highest in birds fed antibiotic while least was observed in birds fed mixture of probiotics + enzyme diet. Photomicrographs of the ileum of birds fed basal diet showed sloughed mucosa layer and degenerated villi. However birds fed antibiotic, probiotic, enzyme or probiotic+enzyme diets showed normal mucosa layer with normal villi, the lamina proprial showed normal tissues with mild infiltrate. In conclusion, feed supplements used in this study can serve as viable alternatives to antibiotics in broiler nutrition without compromising birds’ health

“…Regarding the effects of probiotics supplementation on plasma proteins, the current results are contrasted with Oguntoye et al (2018) who demonstrated that addition of the Gro up™ Probiotics (commercial product) at 500ppm of broiler diets significantly increased the levels of total protein, albumin and glucose, and decreased the levels of globulins, total cholesterol and triglycerides compared with the control group. Biswas et al (2018) found that addition of the probiotics Lactobacillus acidophilus at 10 6 and 10 7 cfu/g of broiler diets significant decreased the cholesterol compared with the control group, but had no significant effect on total protein, albumin and alkaline phosphatase. Saleh et al (2020) indicated that the dietary supplementation of probiotics Bacillus licheniformis to broiler diets at level 100 g/ton diet significantly increased plasma albumin level compared with control but had no effect on plasma total protein, total cholesterol and HDLcholesterol.…”

“…Gao et al (2017) stated that addition of probiotics Bacillus subtilis at level 100, 150, 200 and 250 mg/kg of broiler diets increased the of Lactobacillus count in the cecum, and significant decreased the total aerobes, Salmonella, and E. coli counts in the cecum compared with control group. Biswas et al (2018) reported that dietary supplements of Lactobacillus acidophilus probiotics reduced the coliforms counts in the ileum and caecal of broiler chicks. The decrease of pathogenic bacteria in broilers treated with BA probiotics is due to the potential of bacillus amyloliquefaciens to produce lactic acid, bacteriocin and bacteriocin like substances that can inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria (Ahmed et al, 2014).…”

This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation of the commercial probiotics (Bacillus amyloliquefaciens) (BA), an enzyme mixture containing xylanase, amylase and protease (XAP) enzymes, and their combination (BA+XAP) on growth performance, carcass characteristics, some blood biochemical parameters, and intestinal microbiota of broiler chicks. A total number of 320 one-day-old unsexed broiler chicks (Ross) with an average body weight of 43.65±0.19 g were assigned to 4 dietary treatments (80 chicks/treatment), each containing 4 replicates (20 chicks/replicate). The dietary treatments were as follows: control) fed basal diet without supplementation, T1) fed basal diet supplemented with BA probiotic at level 15 g / kg diet, T2) fed basal diet supplemented with XAP enzymes at level 400mg / kg diet, and T3) fed basal diet supplemented with AB and XAP at levels 15 g and 400mg /kg diet, respectively. The results indicated that dietary supplementation of BA probiotic significantly increased body weight, body weight gain, dressing weight and breast weight, and improved feed conversion ratio and performance index of broiler chicks compared with the other treatments. Also, the dietary supplementation of XAP enzymes or the mixture of AB and XAP significantly increased body weight and body weight gain of broiler chicks compared with control but did not effect on feed conversion ratio and performance index of broiler chicks. Feed consumption for all treated chicks was significantly higher than control. The highest plasma total proteins level was found in T2 followed by the mixture T3 and control, respectively, and the lowest level was found in T1. Also, T2 had the highest albumin level followed by T1. The highest plasma globulin level was found in T3 compared with T1 and control groups, followed by T2 compared with T1 group. T1 and T2 had the highest Triglyceride level compared with the other treatments. In conclusion, supplementing diets of broiler chickens with BA probiotics, XAP enzymes and their combination displayed positive effects on growth performance, immune status, and intestinal microbiota; the BA treatment showed the most pronounced results

Feed additives have a strong influence on the production cost of broilers as growth-promoter’s to cover variations in profits due to fluctuation in feed costs. Antibiotics as additives were fundamental and indispensable, however, studies have shown their connection with the emergence of resistant strains of pathogens in animals and humans, therefore in recent years they have been less encouraged. Research is in progress concerning additives that can replace antibiotics as growth promotors and also as prophylactics. It was demonstrated that probiotics, which are living microorganisms and without residual effect’s have a potential to be used as microbials. However, they are not always guaranteed as growth promoters, as there are mechanisms of action regarding their interaction with the host that cannot yet be properly understood. The main advances in the use of probiotics in broilers in recent years, as well as the gaps, challenges, and future perspectives were carefully discussed and analyzed in this study. It was considered as a future premise, the possibility of reviewing the traditional methodologies used to test the hypotheses related to the effect of probiotics in broilers, which may also be extended to other animal species.
