T here is an interest to investigate the growth promoting products rather than antibiotics since their usage in animal's food have been associated with great health hazards and resistance (Roy et al., 2002). Therefore, intensive poultry industry search to minimize the microbial load associated to farms environment and final products. Broiler performance and feed conversion efficiency are closely related with the amount and type of gut microbial load, the morphological structure of the intestinal wall and the immune system response (Huyghebaert et al., 2011). Meanwhile, safe, non-therapeutic, and antimicrobial product like Organic Acid (OA) can be added to drinking water (acidifier) to achieve the optimum broiler performance (Araujo et al., 2019) and improving the water quality (Krug et al., 2012). It is well known that contaminated drinking water is a risk factor which enhance the multiplication and spreading of water borne pathogens in broiler farms (Chaveerach et al., 2004). Likewise, previous studies showed that broilers supplemented with organic acids in drinking water have intact and highest intestinal villi with deep crypt depth
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
