“…The drumsticks percentage of live weight among various treatments and main components (SCP level and protein source) were non-significant (p>0.05) across all diets. This is different from work by Aguihe et al [4041] who observed significant (p<0.05) effect on drumstick in birds fed with probiotic (0.5%)-SBC diets. The abdominal fat percentage of live weight were found comparable (p>0.05) among various treatments and main components (SCP level and protein source) which is similar to findings of Overland et al [3637].…”

Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate single cell protein (SCP), produced from Methylococcus species, as a protein source on the growth performance, carcass traits and gut health of broiler chickens.Methods: Ten iso-nitrogenous and iso-caloric diets containing 0 (Control), 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, and 10% SCP replacing either soybean meal (T1 to T5) or fish meal (T6 to T10) were formulated. Each diet prepared for starter (0 to 14 days), grower (15 to 21 days), and finisher (22 to 42 days) phases was offered to four replicates of 10 chicks each (n = 400). Growth performance at different phases and carcass characteristics and intestinal morphology on 42nd day of trial were measured.Results: Body weight gain in groups fed 2.5% and 5% SCP diets were comparable to control during different phases and cumulatively, however lower (p<0.01) in 7.5% and 10% SCP diets. Feed conversion ratio was better (p<0.01) in 2.5% and 5% SCP diets. Dressing percentage, abdominal fat percentage and meat:bone ratio were not affected (p>0.05) by SCP inclusion in the diets. However, breast percentage was higher (p<0.01) in 2.5% and 5% SCP groups and thigh percentage higher in 7.5% and 10% SCP groups. Total microbial count in duodenum, jejunum and ileum were not affected (p>0.05) by SCP inclusion up to 10% in diets. Duodenal villi length and crypt depth were highest (p<0.01) in group fed 5% SCP diets and lowest in group fed 10% SCP diets. Jejunal villi length and crypt depth as well as ileal villi length were lowest (p<0.01) in group fed 10% SCP diets. Body weight gain, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio and gut health were better (p<0.01) in broilers fed fish meal based diets compared to soybean meal based diets.Conclusion: It was concluded that inclusion of SCP up to 5% replacing soybean meal in broiler diets is beneficial in improving growth rate, breast yield and gut health status.

“…The higher carcass weight and breast yield observed in the LAB supplemented groups is attributed to higher BWG in the ducks of these groups. These carcass improvements could be due to their ability to enhance the bioavailability of nutrients and increase digestive enzymes thereby promoting the growth of muscle tissues (Aguihe et al 2017). Improvements in carcass and breast yield were also noted in broiler chicken after supplementing probiotic LAB (Salehizadeh et al 2019).…”

This study aimed to investigate the effect of increasing the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) concentration isolated from ensiled Kumpai Tembaga on the growth performance, carcass yield, and meat quality in Pegagan ducks. A total of 100 Pegagan ducks aged were allocated at seven days into five groups with four replicates: Group 1 (control) and Group 2 to 5 (orally LAB addition with the concentration of 1x10 6 , 10 7 , 10 8 , and 10 9 CFU/ml, respectively). The measured parameters included growth performance, carcass yield, and meat quality. The LAB supplementation significantly affected (P<0.05) the weekly feed intake, body weight gain, and feed conversion ratio starting from the third week. Irrespective of the LAB concentrations, carcass, and breast cut weights increased (P<0.05) by 24 and 35.3%, respectively, after LAB supplementation compared to control. The percentage of breast meat and breast meat-to-bone ratio increased (P<0.05) by 4.0 and 48.05%, respectively, but the bone percentage decreased (P<0.05) by 9.5% after LAB addition. Again, irrespective of the LAB concentrations, the meat shear force declined by 48.05%. (P<0.05) after administering LAB compared to the control group. The free fatty acid level dropped by 31.68% in Groups 3 and 4 and continued decreasing by 44.10% (P<0.05) in Group 5. In conclusion, oral LAB supplementation with a concentration of 109 produced optimal growth performance after two weeks of administration. The LAB addition also improved carcass yields, which had a greater impact on the breast. The meat texture became more tender with a lower fatty acid content.

“…On the other hand, supplementation with probiotics for diets containing significant amounts of TA may mitigate the adverse effects of the ingested TA. This improvement could be due to the cumulative effects of the probiotic microbes, which include higher digestive enzyme activity and neutralization of the effect of feed toxins in the gut environment in broiler chickens [ 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 ]. Probiotics consisting of B. mesenteric , C. butyricum , and S. faecalis could prevent the growth of E. coli , which is deleterious to the intestines of infant rabbits [ 55 ].…”

Tannins (TAs) are an anti-nutritional substance commonly used as a natural feed additive for livestock. However, our previous study described the dose-dependent adverse effects of TA on immune responses and growth in chickens. In this study, we evaluated the protective effects of a probiotic preparation (BT) consisting of three different bacteria ( Bacillus mesenteric, Clostridium butyricum, and Streptococcus faecalis ) against TA-induced immunosuppression in chickens. Forty chicks were divided into 4 groups as follows: the CON group (basal diet), BT group supplemented with 3 g BT/kg diet, tannic acid (TA) group supplemented with 30 g TA/kg diet, and BT+TA group supplemented with 3 g BT/kg diet + 30 g TA/kg diet. The feeding trial lasted for 35 days. Lymphocyte subset, macrophage phagocytosis, cytokine mRNA expression, and primary and secondary IgY immune responses were evaluated. BT supplementation significantly improved TA-induced reductions in final body weight, body weight gain, feed intake, and relative weights of lymphoid organs compared with the TA group. Furthermore, in the spleen and cecal tonsil (CT), the relative populations of CD4 + , CD8 + , and CD4 + CD8 + cells in the BT+TA group were significantly ameliorated compared with the TA group. Additionally, comparison with the TA group showed that the chickens in the BT+TA group had an improved relative population of B cells in the CT and that macrophage phagocytosis in the spleen was significantly increased. Chickens in the BT+TA group showed significant increases in IFN-γ and IL-4 mRNA expression in the spleen compared with the TA group. The primary and secondary IgY responses were significantly improved. These results revealed that supplementation with BT protects against TA-induced immunosuppression in chickens.
