“…With regard to other studies in the literature, results of this study are consistent in some instances and inconsistent in other. The lack of response in BWG and FCR of broilers fed CRP up to 4.5% of diet agrees with results of Waldroup et al (1993), Biggs et al (2007) and Rehman et al (2007Rehman et al ( , 2008 but fails to support the positive results of Ammerman et al (1988aAmmerman et al ( , 1988b, Yusrizal and Chen (2003), Xu et al (2003) and Rebolé et al (2010). The first broiler study by Ammerman et al (1989) evaluated the effect of feeding inulin-type fructans on broilers growth performance and noted that 3.75 g/kg FOS produced heavier birds at 47 d of age.…”

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of the chicory root powder (CRP) on growth performance and some blood parameters in broiler chickens fed whole wheat (WW) or ground wheat (GW) based diets. A total of 240 one-day old (Ross 308) broiler chickens used in a completely randomised design (with 4 × 2 factorial arrangement), allocated to 8 treatments with 3 replicate and 10 birds per pen. Treatments were a combination of four levels of CRP (0%, 1.5%, 3%, 4.5%) and two forms of wheat grain (whole vs. ground). No differences were found for body weight gain (BWG), feed intake (FI) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) between treatments during starter period (1-21 d). BWG of 4.5% CRP diet fed birds was significantly (p < 0.05) lower than that of control treatment during the growth (21-42 d) and whole trail period (1-42 d). FI and FCR in birds fed CRP diets were not significantly different compared to those of control (free CRP). Feeding WW compared to GW resulted in a significant increase in the relative weight of the gizzard. Feeding 4.5% CRP + GW decreased significantly triglyceride (TG) and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL)-cholesterol levels, but the total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol were not affected by dietary treatments. The results shown that feeding CRP up to 4.5% in GW-based diets significantly decreased TG and VLDL-cholesterol concentrations without adverse effects on broilers performance.

“…Similar results were also reported by Waldroup et al (1993). However, the studies performed by Yusrizal and Chen (2003) showed that adding chicory inulin and FOS at 10 g/kg diet improved carcass percentage and lowering the abdominal fat content in birds.…”

“…Some studies indicated a lack of a positive effect of inulin at inclusion from 4.0 to 20 g/kg Biggs et al, 2007;Rehman et al, 2007) or FOS at concentration from 3.75 to 20 g/kg in the basal diets (Biggs et al, 2007;Patterson et al, 1997;Waldroup et al, 1993) on broilers growth performance. In contrast, other authors have been reported the beneficial effect of inulin-type fructans on broilers growth performance (Ammerman et al, 1988(Ammerman et al, , 1989Kim et al, 2011;Li et al, 2008;Rebolé et al, 2010;Velasco et al, 2010;Xu et al, 2003;Yusrizal and Chen, 2003b) (Table 3).…”

“…Broilers treated with 0.75% FOS had a four-fold reduction in the level of Salmonella typhimurium in the caeca (Bailey et al, 1991). Waldroup et al (1993) conducted two similar trials to evaluate the effect of 0.375% FOS on the incidence and level of contamination of Salmonella typhimurium on prechilled broiler carcasses. In the first trial, the addition of oligofructose resulted in a significant lower level of contamination of carcasses tested positive for Salmonella typhimurium, however, there were no significant differences among treatments in the replicated study.…”

Fructans, which include inulin and fructooligosaccharides, are non-digestible carbohydrates that are fermented in the large intestine. This review focuses on the effect of these prebiotics on gut microflora, fermentation characteristics, gut morphology, enzymes activity, nutrients digestibility and absorption, lipids metabolism and performance parameters in broiler chickens. Inulin-type fructans can improve performance of birds and health by affecting microbial community in the gastrointestinal tract, gut morphology and nutrient digestion. It is documented that dietary fructans influence the intestinal gut microflora of broiler chickens by increasing the population of Bifidobacterium spp., Lactobacillus spp. and Eubacterium spp. while decreasing the concentration of Clostridium spp. and Escherichia coli in the large intestine and caeca. The supplementation of poultry diets with inulin or oligofructose can lead to an increase of the length of small and large intestines in broilers, elongation of the villus in the chickens jejunal mucosa and increase in the ratio of villus height to crypt depth. The beneficial effect of inulin-type fructans on performance parameters in broilers may be partially explained by the elevated intestinal enzymatic activity under the influence of the fructooligosaccharides and increase of digestibility and absorption of nutrients, mainly protein and fat. The prebiotic effectiveness of inulin-type fructans in broilers depends on a number of factors, like the type of supplement (inulin vs. oligofructose), inclusion level, composition of the basal diet, animal characteristics (age, sex, stage of production) and hygienic conditions (i.e. stress factors).

“…Van Leeuwen and Verdonk (2004) demonstrated improved growth and feed conversion in calves with prebiotics added to milk substitutes. In addition, in broilers challenged with salmonella, the FOS supplementation suppressed infections and a marked positive impact was observed on their development indices (Waldroup et al, 1993).…”

Development of Mangalarga Marchador suckling foals supplemented with fructooligosaccharides

-The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of prebiotic fructooligosaccharide (FOS) supplementation on the development of Mangalarga Marchador suckling foals. Sixteen Mangalarga Marchador foals, from birth to 75 days of age, were evaluated in a completely randomized design, with two treatments (experimental group and control group) with eight repetitions (animals). The foals were evaluated through body weight, morphometric, and circumferential measures. The daily, weekly, and cumulative weight gains were recorded and the morphometric measures were: withers height, croup height, body length, mid-back height, mid-back width, and thorax, shin, knee, and forearm circumferences. The mean body weight was 32.3 and 77.9 kg at birth and 75 days of age, respectively. The mean withers height was 86 and 103.8 cm at birth and 75 days of age, respectively, and the mean body length was 63.9 cm at birth, reaching 89.1 cm at 75 days of age. No significant differences in the FOS supplementation or interaction of age versus supplementation between the experimental and control groups were observed for any of the parameters evaluated. However, there were significant differences between the ages. Supplementation with prebiotic FOS does not affect the development of the Mangalarga Marchador suckling foals from birth to 75 days of age.
