Carcass and cut yields and meat qualitative traits of broilers fed diets containing probiotics and prebiotics

Abstract: This study evaluated the use of different probiotics, prebiotics and symbiotics on the quality of carcasses and meat of broiler chickens. One hundred and eight day-old Cobb male broilers were used (n=108) in a completely randomized design according to a 3x3 factorial, with 3 probiotics in the diet (no probiotics, probiotics 1, probiotics 2) and 3 prebiotics in the diet (no prebiotics, prebiotics 1, prebiotics 2). There were nine treatments with 4 replicates and 3 birds per replicate. The results showed that th… Show more

“…The results indicated that GalliPro ® nutrients did not affect carcass characteristics (Table 6). These results are in agreement with Pelicano et al (2003Pelicano et al ( , 2005 who reported that, carcass and meat quality did not show alteration when the control group was compared to birds fed probiotics, except for leg yield improvement in the latter. Also, study of Toghyani et al (2011) indicated that carcass yield and relative organ weights were not influenced by dietary probiotic and prebiotic.…”

“…Feeding broiler with prebiotic mannanoligosacharides (MOS) and probiotic based on Lactobacillus acidophillus and casei, and Streptococcus lactis and faecium, and Bifidobacteruim bifidum (Pelicano et al, 2005;Aristides et al, 2012) indicated no effects, but that with Bacillus licheniformis (Liu et al, 2012) significantly increased breast meat color. The higher L* value of breast meat of crossbred local chicken compared to that of imported breeds was consistence with the finding of Jaturasitha et al (2008) that breast meat color of Thai native chicken was higher than that of Rhode Island Red.…”

“…This is evidenced from the weights of the organs like the gizzard, liver, heart, lungs, crop and proventriculus in the E 2 and E 3 groups, respectively. On the contrary, Pelicano et al [44] reported lower pre-slaughter weights of animals treated with Bacillus subtilis in comparison with chickens fed multi-strain probiotic (Lactobacillus streptococcus, Bifidobacterium, Aspergillus) feed. Abdominal fat represents the main fat deposition in broiler chickens, and it seems to be directly related to total carcass fat (Santoso et al [53], Gaya et al [17]).…”
