The article examines the influence of the oilcakes of lavender, camelina, nigella, mustard on the microbiota composition in the model of the bird's intestines. It has been shown that the cakes of mustard, camelina and lavender exhibit prebiotic activity in a model of an artificial intestinal environment inoculated with a starter from the gastrointestinal tract of chickens. Nigella cake in this model does not show activity. The activity lies in the fact that the presence of oilcake in the environment reduces the content of proteobacteria, among which there are many representatives of pathogenic microflora, and increases or does not affect the content of probiotic lacto- and bifidobacteria. The effect develops gradually and is dosedependent. It was found that the cake of the studied plants at a concentration of 1% and higher increased the pH of the medium, which may be one of the mechanisms of influence on the balance of the intestinal microbiota.
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.
