“…Other studies in broilers established a significant protective effect of probiotics against coccidiosis infection and a reduction in the coccidia oocysts loads (S. H. Lee et al 2007a , b ; Ritzi et al 2014 ). Although we did not find studies on the role of probiotics for parasitic infection in ducks, there are some reports on their efficacy against pathogenic bacteria (Hristev et al 2004 ; Nickolova and Penkov 2005 ; Sheng-Qiu et al 2013 ). Our research showed that probiotics can be a useful tool in protecting against coccidiosis in Muscovy ducks, and further studies are required to understand the effect on oocyst loads.…”

“…Likewise, research on the use of probiotics in the poultry industry has gained significant attention due to restrictions imposed on the use of prophylactic antibiotics, given their association with microbial resistance (Kabir 2009 ; Hashem et al 2019 ). Some studies in Muscovy ducks have reported a positive effect of novel probiotics on the development of beneficial microbiota, the restriction of pathogenic bacteria, and the improvement of productive traits (Hristev et al 2004 ; Sheng-Qiu et al 2013 ; Xie et al 2015 ; Kamollerd et al 2016 ). Similarly, several authors have studied the role of probiotic supplementation in broiler health and productivity (Lee et al 2007a , b ; Ritzi et al 2014 ; Behnamifar et al 2019 ).…”

Proper health management is essential for productivity in duck farming. However, there is limited information on the effect of management conditions on rates of metabolic problems and parasitic infections in anatids. We evaluated the rates of metabolic syndromes and gastrointestinal parasite involvement in Muscovy ducks up to 12 weeks of age, under 3 management conditions: backyard, organized, and organized with probiotics. Individuals under organized management developed 2 metabolic problems: ascites, which was rare (3.5%), fatal, and affected both males and females, and angel wing syndrome, which was more frequent (10.6%), has low impact on general health, and only affected males. The treatments do not have a significant effect on the development of ascites, but only individuals in controlled conditions presented this syndrome, and due to its low prevalence, further studies with a larger sample size are required. The risk of angel wing syndrome increased significantly with probiotic supplementation. Regarding to parasitic infection, the improvement of sanitary management and the use of probiotics supplementation reduced the occurrence of coccidiosis. Similarly organized management with probiotic supplementation showed a protective effect on helminthiasis by reducing the frequency of Heterakis gallinarum and greatly reducing the helminth egg load. Coccidiosis and helminthiasis infections were not significantly correlated with the final weight of the ducks. Therefore, organized management and the use of probiotics seems to reduce the impact of parasitic infection, although it increases the risk of developing metabolic syndrome.

“…Feeding B . subtilis significantly augmented T3 and T4 levels, which may lead to enhance nutrient metabolism and absorption and thereby improve the bird performance (Sheng‐Qiu et al, 2013). T3 and T4 in the blood facilitate cellular differentiation, tissue development, carbohydrate utilization, starch and fat digestion, enzyme activity and protein synthesis (Ooi et al, 2004).…”

The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of dietary humate substances (HS) and CloSTAT (Bacillus subtilis PB6) on the thyroid activity and histology, iron profile, blood haematology and performance of growing Japanese quail. A total of 216 unsexed 7‐day‐old quail chicks were randomly assigned to six groups. The first group was fed a basal diet (BD) without any additives (control); the 2nd group received BD plus 0.05% CloSTAT, the 3rd and 4th groups were given BD plus 0.4% and 0.8% HS, respectively; and the 5th and 6th groups were administered BD plus CloSTAT + 0.4% HS and BD plus CloSTAT + 0.8% HS, respectively. The results showed that the growth performance was improved with the addition of CloSTAT alone or in combination with 0.4% HS compared with the control. Haematological parameters, iron level and transferrin saturation % were significantly (p < 0.001) increased by feeding HS compared with the control group. Serum thyroxin and triiodothyronine levels were significantly (p = 0.001) increased by adding CloSTAT relative to the control. Supplementation of 0.8% HS caused deterioration in histomorphometry parameters of the thyroid gland, but these parameters were improved in response to CloSTAT compared with the control. In conclusion, dietary B. subtilis PB6 as CloSTAT or CloSTAT + 0.4% HS supplementation may be efficacious in enhancing the growth performance and boosting the thyroid activity of growing Japanese quail. Moreover, the addition of 0.4% or 0.8% HS to quail diets boosted their iron profile and haematological parameters.

“…Lactobacillus species could enhance health effects in the gastrointestinal tract through many mechanisms, which include maintaining normal intestinal microflora, changing metabolism by increasing the activity of digestive enzymes, decreasing the activity of bacterial enzyme and ammonia production, stimulating the immune system, and improving digestion (Kabir, 2009). Diets with 0.4% Bacillus subtilis enhanced the absorption of protein, stimulated hormone secretion, suppressed harmful microflora, and improved the duodenal structure and immune functions of Muscovy ducks (Sheng-Qiu et al, 2013). Al-Fataftah et al (2013) reported that an increase in Lactobacillus sp enhanced the contents of lysine in broiler meats.…”

ABSTRACT. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Sauropus androgynus leaf extract (SALE), lemuru fish oil and vitamin E supplementation on performance, carcass quality, and amino acid composition of broiler meat. One hundred and ninety-five broilers aged 21 days were distributed into 13 groups as follows: broilers were fed diet with 0.5% commercial supplement feed (P0), 10 g/kg SALE plus 1% lemuru fish oil (LFO) (P1), 10 g SALE/kg and LFO 1% plus 60 mg vitamin E (P2), 10 g SALE/kg and LFO 2% (P3), 10 g SALE/kg and LFO 2% plus 60 mg vitamin E (P4), 10 g SALE/kg and LFO 3% (P5), 10 g SALE/kg and LFO 3% plus 60 mg vitamin E (P6), 18 g SALE/kg and LFO 1% (P7), 18 SALE g/kg and LFO 1 % plus 60 mg vitamin E (P8), 18 g SALE/kg and FLO 2% (P9), 18 SALE g/kg and FLO 2% plus vitamin E (P10), 18 g SALE/kg and LFO 3% (P11 ), and 18 g SALE/kg and LFO 3% plus 60 mg vitamin E. The variables measured were performance, carcass quality, organoleptic properties, protein and amino acid composition of meats. The experimental results showed that the treatment had no significant effect (P 0.05) on body weight, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio, carcass weight, meat color, meat odor, meat taste, and cooking losses. However, the treatment had a significant effect (P 0.05) on carcass color, spleen weight, and protein content. In addition, the treatment also changes the amino acid composition of the meat. In conclusion, supplementation of 18 g SALE/kg diet, 3% LFO plus vitamin E resulted in meat with the highest protein and amino acid content. (Pengaruh ekstrak daun katuk, minyak ikan plus vitamin E terhadap performa, kualitas karkas, dan komposisi asam amino pada broiler) ABSTRAK. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh suplementasi ekstrak daun katuk (EDK), minyak ikan lemuru, dan vitamin E terhadap performa, kualitas karkas, dan komposisi asam amino daging broiler. Seratus sembilan puluh lima ekor broiler umur 21 hari didistribusikan ke dalam 13 kelompok sebagai berikut: broiler diberi pakan mengandung 0,5% pakan imbuhan komersial (P0), 10 g/kg EDK plus 1% minyak lemuru (MIL) (P1), EDK 10 g/kg dan MIL 1% plus 60 mg vitamin E (P2), EDK 10 g/kg dan MIL 2% (P3), EDK 10 g/kg dan MIL 2% plus 60 mg vitamin E (P4), EDK 10 g/kg dan MIL 3% (P5), EDK 10 g/kg dan MIL 3% plus 60 mg vitamin E (P6), EDK 18 g/kg dan MIL 1% (P7), EDK 18 g/kg dan MIL 1% plus 60 mg vitamin E (P8), EDK 18 g/kg dan MIL 2% (P9), EDK 18 g/kg dan MIL 2% plus vitamin E (P10), EDK 18 g/kg dan MIL 3% (P11), dan EDK 18 g/kg dan MIL 3% plus 60 mg vitamin E. Variabel yang diukur adalah performa, kualitas karkas, dan sifat organoleptik, protein dan komposisi asam amino daging. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan berpengaruh tidak nyata (P0,05) terhadap berat badan, konsumsi pakan, konversi pakan, berat karkas, warna daging, bau daging, rasa daging, dan susut masak. Akan tetapi perlakuan berpengaruh nyata (P0,05) terhadap warna karkas, berat limfa, kadar protein. Selain itu, perlakuan juga mengubah komposisi asam amino daging. Kesimpulannya, suplementasi 18 g EDK/kg pakan, 3% MIL plus vitamin E menghasilkan daging dengan kandungan protein dan asam amino tertinggi.
