“…Antibiotics, such as avilamycin, at growth-promoting levels have been shown to improve the growth and feed efficiency of chickens (Wellenreiter et al, 2000;Yakhkeshi et al, 2011). But our results are in agreement with those Ceylan and Ciftci (2003), Gunal et al (2006) and Eseceli et al (2010), who reported that the supplementation of a probiotic or an antibiotic growth promoter did not have any effect on weight gain and feed conversion ratio. The results showed that probiotics did not have any significant effect on performance in different periods.…”

“…In another previous experiment, Abbas (2010) reported that organ weights and carcass characteristics were not affected by supplementing diet with 3 g kg −1 basil seed. This result is in agreement with the results of Ceylan and Ciftci (2003), Chowdhury et al (2009) and Eseceli et al (2010), who reported that there was no significant effect on carcass weight in broiler chicks fed a diet supplemented with avilamycin. Similarly, Saleh (2014) reported that supplementation with avilamycin did not significantly affect the liver weight of broilers.…”

Abstract. The effects of a probiotic (protexin), a medicinal plant (basil essential oil) and an antibiotic growth promoter (avilamycin) as broiler feed additives on performance, carcass characteristics and some blood parameters of broilers were studied. A total of 600 Arian broilers were divided into six treatments, with four replicates of 25 birds. Treatments were a plant essential oil in three levels (200, 400 and 600 ppm), the probiotic (150 ppm), the antibiotic (150 ppm) and a control group with no additives. Birds in different treatments received the same diets during the experimental period. Growth performance, blood biochemical parameters and carcass traits were measured. There were no effects of dietary treatment on body weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio of the broilers. Internal organ weights and carcass characteristics were not influenced by treatments; however, 200 ppm basil essential oil supplementation decreased abdominal fat (P < 0.05). Biochemical parameters including serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and total cholesterol were not statistically influenced. However, addition of 400 ppm basil essential oil into diet increased serum triglyceride as compared to the control (P < 0.05). Results of this experiment demonstrated that the herbal natural feed additives such as basil may be used as alternatives to an antibiotic growth promoter without any adverse effects on broiler production.

“…However, Eseceli et al (2010), didn't show any significant differences in feed cost kgG 1 BWG between three broiler chick groups fed on diets supplemented with 0.5, 1 or 1.5 g Bio-Mos kgG 1 diet. The same result was confirmed by Hooge (2003) using 0 (negative control), 0.5 and 1 g Bio-Mos kgG 1 in different periodical diets of broiler chicks till 49 days-old.…”

Two hundred and eight one-day broiler chicks (ROSS 500) were divided into 4 treatments till 35 days old, each group fed on corn-soybean starter diet (S) from 1-21 days old and grower diet (G) from 22-35 days old. Control treatment received un-supplemented S and G diets, S1G0 group fed on S supplemented with 1 g Bio-Mos kgG 1 then un-supplemented G, S1G0.5 group received S supplemented with 1 g Bio-Mos kgG INTRODUCTIONMannan oligosaccharides (MOS) and its commercial product form (Bio-Mos, product of Alltech Inc., Nicholasville, KY, USA) is one of prebiotics that derived from the outer layer of yeast cell walls (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). The main idea to use yeast MOS in poultry feeds evolved from the following two concepts about involved mannose, which could be: (1) it is used largely to block the colonization of intestinal pathogenic bacteria, especially E. coli and Salmonella which are the most common pathogenic bacteria hosted in intestinal tract of poultry and enhance growth of beneficial bacteria such as Lactobacillus in intestinal gut, therefore, supporting growth performance of bird as reported by Cavazzoni et al. (1998), Brzoska et al. (1999), Joerger (2003 and Patterson and Burkholder (2003). (2) Some research workers including Spring (1996), Shane (2001) and Markovic et al. (2009), reported a beneficial alteration effect of Bio-Mos and yeast cell wall (as a source of MOS) inclusion in broiler diets on microvillus length and crypt depth of which are the basic absorbent elements of nutrients in intestinal mucosa.

“…Mannan oligosaccharides have been shown quite widely to have positive effects on bird performance characteristics, including live weight gain, feed conversion efficiencies, and feed consumption (16,35,36,43,56; J. P. Blake et al, presented at Alltech's 22nd international symposium, Lexington, KY, 2005). The present study analyzed data from a 42-day broiler trial to evaluate birds for improvements in performance as a result of dietary supplementation with MOS.…”

“…and Escherichia coli) in the broiler gut, which can have a positive effect on the health of the animals (4,46). The effects of MOS supplementation on bird health and performance have also been studied comprehensively, and MOS have proven effective at improving weight gain and feed conversion efficiencies while also protecting against infection through pathogen binding (16,21,35,46). However, little is known about the effect of MOS supplementation on the unculturable bacterial community of birds.…”

This study investigated the effects of dietary supplementation with a prebiotic mannan oligosaccharide (MOS) on broiler performance, bacterial community structure, and phylogenetic populations of cecal contents. Bird performance data were collected, and cecal samples were extracted from randomly caught poults from each treatment group every 7 days from hatching to the age of 42 days. Weight gain, feed consumption, and feed efficiency ratios did not differ significantly between groups. Automated ribosomal intergenic spacer analysis (ARISA) of the bacterial communities in birds receiving MOS-supplemented diets indicated that dietary supplementation with MOS at either of 2 levels significantly altered the bacterial community structure from that of the control group on all sample days. The phylogenetic identities of bacteria contained within the cecum were determined by constructing a 16S rRNA gene clone library. A total of 594 partial 16S rRNA gene sequences from the cecal contents were analyzed and compared for the three dietary treatments. The dominant bacteria of the cecum belonged to three phyla, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, and Proteobacteria; of these, Firmicutes were the most dominant in all treatment groups. Statistical analysis of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene clone libraries showed that the compositions of the clone libraries from broilers receiving MOS-supplemented diets were, in most cases, significantly different from that of the control group. It can be concluded that in this trial MOS supplementation significantly altered the cecal bacterial community structure.
