“…These findings are in general agreement with previous studies (Haddadin et al, 1996;Mahdavi et al, 2005) that demonstrated the role of gastrointestinal tract microorganisms in the recycling of lipids. In Japanese quails, Genedy & Zewil (2003) reported a decline in total lipid and cholesterol blood levels of the birds fed a probiotic.…”

“…In the current study, and in agreement with the of Nahashon et al (1996) and Tortuero & Fernandez (1995) in layers, the dietary inclusion of a probiotic containing Bacillus subtilis significantly increased the egg weight of Japanese quails. On the other hand, no effects of such probiotics were found by Haddadin et al (1996) and Chen et al (2009) in layers and Balevi et al (2001) and Yoruk et al (2004) in Japanese quails. These controversial results might be related to probiotic strain, concentration, and Means with different letters within the same column are significantly different (p≤0.05); HDL: High-density lipoprotein; LDL: Low-density lipoprotein; AST: aspartate aminotransferase; ALT: Alanine Aminotransferase, ALP: Alkaline phosphatase; WBC: white blood cell;ND: Newcastle disease antibody titers, AI: Avian influenza antibody titers.…”

“…Different studies (Nahashon et al, 1992;Tortuero & Fernandez, 1995;Nahashon et al, 1996;Haddadin et al, 1996) comparing diets containing higher bacterial counts. Thus, egg weight increase may be related to the vital form of probiotic bacteria at higher doses, of up to log 10 cfu/g of probiotic product.…”

Keywords Japanese quails, egg production, gut health, immune response. ABStRACtThe present study was carried out to determine the effects of the inclusion of a spore-forming probiotic (Bacillus subtilis) in laying Japanese quail diets as an alternative to growth-promoting antibiotics to help produce healthy eggs and meat. This experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design with three treatments (control, 0.05% bacitracin methylene disalicylate (BMD), or 0.1% Bacillus subtilis) of five replicates of 11 quails each. Feed intake and egg production were recorded daily on cage basis. Body weight was determined at the beginning and end of the trial (36 and 42 weeks). At the end of the experiment (42 weeks), antibodies against Newcastle disease and avian influenza, egg components, Haugh units, eggshell quality and breaking strength, blood parameters, cecal microbial population, villus length, and crypt depth were measured. The dietary inclusion of Bacillus subtilis and BMD significantly (p≤0.05) increased egg production and egg weight; however, eggshell thickness and breaking strength, Haugh units, and eggshell percentages were not affected. The dietary addition of both products significantly (p≤0.05) decreased plasma cholesterol levels and increased LDL levels, as well as antibody levels against Newcastle disease and avian influenza (p≤0.01). In birds fed Bacillus subtilis and BMD, crypt depth was reduced, but villus height and villus to crypt ratio were significantly increased (p≤0.001) compared with those fed the basal diet. Cecal coliforms, E. coli, and Salmonella counts were reduced (p≤0.01) in quails fed the diets containing Bacillus subtilis and BMD compared those quails fed the non-supplemented diet. The results of this study demonstrated that in absence of AGPs, the inclusion of a spore-forming probiotic partially improves the performance of laying quails.

“…Recently, considerable attention has been given to the potential of probiotics in altering lipid metabolism. This interest stems from the growing evidence that probiotics reduce cholesterol concentration in the egg yolk Haddadin et al, 1996;Panda et al, 2003;Kalavathy et al, 2009) and in the serum (Kurtoglu et al, 2004;Alkhalf et al, 2010).…”

The effects of the Kluyveromyces marxianus M3 strain, isolated from Tibetan mushrooms, on plasma lipids, egg cholesterol level, egg quality, and intestinal health of laying hens were evaluated. In total, 160 Beijing fatty laying hens (43 weeks old) were divided into four groups and fed a basal diet supplemented with 0%, 0.1%, 0.3%, or 0.5% freeze-dried K. marxianus M3 powder for four weeks. The results showed that yeast supplementation reduced serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), and very low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (VLDL-C) levels (p<0.01), and increased serum high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) level (p<0.05). Moreover, regardless of K. marxianus M3 dietary addition level, the cholesterol content of the eggs decreased by more than 26%. When0.3% yeast was supplemented, significant differences were found in the egg weights, shell strength, albumen height, Haugh unit and nutrient content of the eggs (p<0.01). Finally, 0.3% yeast supplementation improved the intestinal flora conditions of the hens by decreasing the Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus counts (p<0.01) and increasing the Bifidobacterium count (p<0.01). The results in this work demonstrated that yeast culture supplementation to the diets deceased the serum and egg yolk cholesterol, and increased egg quality.

“…Moreover, probiotic supplementation has been shown to reduce the cholesterol concentration in egg yolk (Abdulrahim et al, 1996;Haddadin et al, 1996) and serum in chicken (Mohan et al, 1996;Jin et al, 1998a). …”
