“…Total protein and albumin concentrations were numerically increased without statically significant by bile salts addition. Our finding agreed with those obtained by Natsir et al (2017) who reported that organic acids had better effects on serum total protein and albumin compared with the control in broiler drinking acidifying water. The triglycerides (TG) values were quadratically (p < .0211) higher in groups fed diet plus various levels of bile salts than the control group, also LDL values were linearly (p < .05) increased with bile salts addition than control.…”

“…Saeid et al (2010) reported that 0.4% and 0.6% of ginger had no significant effect on serum total protein, albumin, and globulin compared with that of the control group in broilers. However, Natsir et al (2017) showed that a mix of garlic and Phyllanthus niruri at 1.2% of the broiler diets had no significant effects on serum globulin, whereas significant differences were observed in serum total protein and albumin compared with the control group. Furthermore, Jafari et al (2011) reported that dietary garlic powder supplementation at the levels of 1% and 3% had no effects on serum globulin in broiler chicks, but it tended to decline with age.…”

The goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of clove (Syzygium aromaticum) supplementation levels on performance, blood parameters, and immune response of broilers. A total of 336 one-day-old broilers were assigned to one of eight treatments: 1% to 6% clove supplementation levels, a positive control (vaccinated) and a negative control (unvaccinated). Bodyweight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, serum protein profile, and immune responses were measured weekly. Lymphoid organs were weighed at 21 and 35 days. Levels of dietary clove between 2% and 6% supplementation resulted in a gradual decrease in weight gain and feed intake with an increase in feed conversion ratio at two and three weeks, whereas those that received 4% to 6% supplementation had reduced weight gain and the 3% to 6% supplemented animals consumed the least amount of feed at four and five weeks. High levels of clove supplementation (4%, 5%, and 6%) resulted in reduced total serum protein and albumin and the greatest activity of aspartate aminotransferase at 35 days. Antibodies to viruses against which the birds had been vaccinated were not affected by different levels of clove supplementation compared with the positive control. However, they were increased in birds in the negative control group without vaccination. Relative weights of lymphoid organs were not affected by any treatments at 21 and 35 days. These results indicate that clove supplementation at levels greater than 2% can lead to negative effects on performance without improving the health of the liver and immune responsiveness of broilers.

“…But the same study with acetic acid worsened the performance and gut health of broilers. Evaluation of encapsulated acidifier or herb-acidifier blend in the broiler diet revealed better performance in terms of intestinal histology, intestinal pH, serum total protein, serum albumin and gut eubiosis than without encapsulation (Natsir, Hartutik, Widodo, & Widyastuti, 2017).…”

“…But the same study with acetic acid worsened the performance and gut health of broilers. Evaluation of encapsulated acidifier or herb‐acidifier blend in the broiler diet revealed better performance in terms of intestinal histology, intestinal pH, serum total protein, serum albumin and gut eubiosis than without encapsulation (Natsir, Hartutik, Widodo, & Widyastuti, ). A latest investigation on resistance to heat stress by drinking water acidification with sodium butyrate in broilers suggested alleviation of detrimental effects of heat stress on growth, carcass quality, haematological, biochemical traits, inflammatory markers, oxidative stability and histology of liver and immune organs.…”

Ever since the European ban on use of in‐feed antibiotics in food animals, the search for alternate antibiotic‐free growth promoter is undertaken worldwide. There are few alternatives such as probiotics, pre‐biotics, phytochemicals, enzymes and organic acids. Among these alternatives, the organic acids or simply acidifiers play an important role in gut health in animals. The acidifiers could be used to favourably manipulate the intestinal microbial populations and improve the immune response, hence perform an activity similar to antibiotics in food animals in countering pathogenic bacteria. Acidifiers also improve the digestibility of nutrients and increase the absorption of minerals. The incorporation of organic acids also leads to thinning of the intestinal lining which facilitates better absorption of nutrients and its efficient utilization. However, their effect will not be similar among all types of organic acids as their mechanism of activity is based on its pKa value. Moreover, there are claims about the neutralization of acids by the secretion of bicarbonates in the initial part of intestine, reactivity with metallic items in feed mills and reduced palatability due its bitter taste demands non‐reactive and targeted delivery for better performance. Currently, coated salts of acidifiers are available commercially for use in food animals especially pigs and poultry. The present review highlights the role of different acidifiers in livestock nutrition with their potent applications in improving nutrient digestibility, mineral utilization, meat quality, enhancing immunity, antimicrobial effects in countering pathogenic bacteria, boosting performance and production, and thus safeguarding health of livestock animals and poultry.
