Abstract: In recent years, there has been a growing appreciation on the relevance of gastrointestinal microflora in both ruminants and non-ruminants owing to revelation of their role in several physiological functions including digestion, nutrient utilization, pathogen exclusion, gastrointestinal development, immunity system, gut gene expression and quality of animal products. The ban imposed on the use of antibiotics and hormones in feed has compelled animal researchers in finding an alternative which could overcome th… Show more

“…Research by some authors (18,24,28) indicates that adding fructans to feed mixtures for pigs increases production of short-chain organic acids in the digestive tract. In the present study, the highest total content of selected SCFAs in the cecum was noted in groups IV (82.4 µM/g) and III (79.8 µM/g), which received inulin in their feed (group III) or inulin with a probiotic (group IV), with the highest concentrations noted for propionic and butyric acid, and the lowest for isobutyric acid.…”

“…It is composed of oligo-and polysaccharides, which give inulin its unique prebiotic properties (19). Notably, thanks to β-(2-1) glycosidic bonds, inulin is resistant to digestive enzymes of the small intestine in monogastric animals.…”

“…Prebiyotikler fermente olduktan sonra konak gastrointestinal yolakta faydalı etkilere yol açan ürünlerdir; bu ikisinin bir arada kombine preparatları 'sinbiyotik' adını almaktadır. Bugün için sadece bifidojenik(bifidobakterilerin büyümesine yardımcı), sindirilmeyen oligosakkarit olan inulin tam olarak prebiyotik tanımlamasına uymaktadır 39 . Bunlar intestinal mikrofloraya faydalı etkileri olan diyetsel liflerdir.…”
