This work was designed to investigate the effect of yeast(Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and Sangrovit as natural feed additives on chicken production performance, some hematological parameters, some biochemical parameters, histopathological examination of (liver and kidney) and total coliform count of intestinal content in normal and experimentally infected chickens with E.coli O 78. A total of 120 unsexed one-day-old, broiler chickens (Cobb) were randomly assigned to 6 treatment groups each of 20 as follows: G1 as the control; G2 received 0.3% Yeast supplement; G3 received 0.1% Sangrovit supplement; G4 infected by E.coli only; G5 infected by E.coli and treated by 0.3% Yeast and G6 infected by E.coli and treated by 0.1% Sangrovit. Our work revealed that Yeast and Sangrovit as feed additives have marked impacts on growth-promoting, immunomodulating and antimicrobial effects with no adverse effects on haematological and serum biochemical parameters and can contribute in controlling and prevention of E.coli induced experimental infection in broiler chicken.
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.
