“…Whereas, L. acidipiscis was clearly an abundant Lactobacillus species in ileal digesta in non-myopathy bird. Prior research done in L. acidipiscis in broilers showed the probiotic potential and higher feed efficiency improvement (25). The species richness was tended to be higher for myopathy group as exhibited by higher value of alpha diversity index; which further could be associated with greater sample-to-sample species variation in myopathy broiler as explained by beta diversity index.…”

Selection for quantitative traits in meat broilers such as breast yield and growth rate exert physiological pressure leading to ante mortem histological and biochemical alterations in muscle tissues. The poultry industry has recently witnessed a myopathy condition affecting Pectoralis major (breast muscle) of broilers, called woody breast (WB), an etiology still unclear to scientific community. A study was conducted to characterize the WB myopathy in a meat broiler line at its finishing phase (d 41) in terms of heat production (HP), microbiota and plasma metabolites. Two treatment groups were studied-WB affected (myopathy) and normal (non-myopathy) broiler; n = 20 in each group. Indirect calorimetry was utilized for HP measurement. Furthermore, body composition (BC) analysis was also performed using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Microbiota in ileal digesta was studied with PCR amplified 16s rRNA gene. LC-MS targeted metabolomics was performed to understand differential expression of plasma metabolites. Results showed that there was difference in fasting HP (P < 0.05) between these two treatment groups, with non-myopathy broiler producing more heat which was indicative of higher body protein content validated by higher protein: fat ratio by BC results. Less protein content in myopathy bird could be due to probable higher mixed muscle degradation occurring in lean tissue as marked by elevated 3-methylhistidine expression in plasma. Microbiota results showed unclassified Lactobacillus as predominant genus with higher abundance occurring in myopathy group; whereas at species level, L. acidipiscis was predominant bacteria for non-myopathy broiler. Differentially significant metabolites (P < 0.05) identified from plasma metabolome between these two treatment groups were homocysteine, cyclic GMP, trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), tyramine, carnitine, and acetylcarnitine, which were all associated to cardiovascular system. The findings suggest that more research in meat broilers could be opted toward delivering reduced vascularity issues to alleviate this myopathy condition.

“…Thus, here we aimed to investigate in vitro and in vivo potential of two Lactobacillus isolates (LABs) from mulberry silage in biosorption of Pb and reduction of its preceding toxicity in broiler chickens. Previously, we have reported strong probiotic properties for these LABs (Altaher et al, 2015;Jahromi et al, 2016).…”

To alleviate adverse effects of heavy metal toxicity, diverse range of removing methods have been suggested, that is usage of algae, agricultural by-products and microorganisms. Here, we investigated lead (Pb) biosorption efficacy by two lactic acid bacteria species (LABs) in broiler chickens. In an in vitro study, Pb was added to culture medium of LABs (Lactobacillus pentosus ITA23 and Lactobacillus acidipiscis ITA44) in the form of lead acetate. Results showed that these LABs were able to absorb more than 90% of Pb from the culture medium. In follow-up in vivo study, LABs mixture was added to diet of broiler chickens contained lead acetate (200 mg/kg). Pb exposure significantly increased lipid peroxidation and decreased antioxidant activity in liver. The changes were recovered back to normal level upon LABs supplementation. Moreover, addition of LABs eliminated the liver tissue lesion and the suppressed performance in Pb-exposed chicks. Analysis of liver and serum samples indicated 48% and 28% reduction in Pb accumulation, respectively. In conclusion, results of this study showed that L. pentosus ITA23 and L. acidipiscis ITA44 effectively biosorb and expel dietary Pb from gastrointestinal tract of chickens.

“…and Bacillus spp. had better effects on controlling ammonia emission and intestinal flora (Biagi et al, 2007;Jeong and Kim, 2008;Zhang et al, 2013;Ahmed et al, 2014;Altaher et al, 2015). Zhang et al (2013) considered that ammonia emission was related to nutrient utilization and the intestinal microflora ecosystem, and some probiotics might reduce ammonia emission by improving enzyme activity and nitrogen utilization.…”

“…Promising probiotic strains should have some superior biological properties, especially improving growth performance, intestinal microbiota balance, and meat quality, and decreasing noxious gas emission (Meng et al, 2010;Fan et al, 2013;Jeong et al, 2014;Peng et al, 2016). These have become essential indicators for evaluating the potential of food biopreservatives or probiotic additives in humans and animals (Kabir et al, 2004;Biagi et al, 2007;Nagpal et al, 2012;Mookiah et al, 2014;Altaher et al, 2015;Peng et al, 2016;Bai et al, 2017). Therefore, there is growing interest in the isolation of potentially successful probiotic strains and determination of their functional characteristics.…”

This study was conducted to isolate Lactobacillus salivarius and Pediococcus pentosaceus strains from cecal content and investigate their probiotic potential in specific pathogen free (SPF) chickens. L. salivarius and P. pentosaceus strains were isolated from the cecal content of SPF chickens and identified by 16s rDNA sequence analysis by BLAST analysis at the National Center for Biotechnology Information and phylogenetic analysis using DNAStar software. In an in vivo experiment, 180 7-day-old SPF chickens were randomly assigned into three groups. Group 1 served as a control that was fed a basal diet without probiotic supplementation, and groups 2 and 3 were fed the basal diets supplemented with L. salivarius and P. pentosaceus at 2×108 CFU/g, respectively. Body weight (BW), average daily gain (ADG), feed conversion ratio (FCR), dressing percentage (DP), and the apparent digestibility of crude protein (AD-CP) were calculated. We also determined meat color, fat content, shear force, water content and pH value of breast and thigh muscles; ammonia, urea nitrogen and uric acid content in plasma; fecal ammonia emission level and pH value; and Lactobacillus and Escherichia coli in ceca. Compared with the control group, L. salivarius and P. pentosaceus supplementation significantly increased BW, ADG, DP, AD-CP, fat content of meat, and the number of Lactobacillus in ceca (p<0.05), and decreased FCR, plasma ammonia content, fecal ammonia emission, and pH value and the number of E. coli in ceca (p<0.05). In the in vitro experiment, L. salivarius and P. pentosaceus treatments significantly decreased the ammonia content in medium compared with the control group without probiotic treatment (p<0.05). These results suggest that P. pentosaceus and L. salivarius strains show promising probiotic properties for improving growth, meat quality and microenvironment in chickens and decreasing ammonia content in the medium.
