“…Lactobacilli dominate the bacterial community of the crop, but coliforms, streptococci and bifidobacteria have also been found (Abbas Hilmi et al, 2007;Fuller, 1973;Fuller and Brooker, 1974;Fuller and Turvey, 1971;Guan et al, 2003;Peinado et al, 2013;Petr and Rada, 2001). At least some lactobacilli are capable of binding to the crop epithelium to form biofilm layers that are relatively uniquely found on non-secretory stratified squamous epithelium (Edelman et al, 2002;Fuller and Turvey, 1971;Lebeer et al, 2011).…”

The importance of the crop is often underestimated in poultry production. In addition to storing ingested feed, it also can impact nutrient digestion by digesta softening and the initial activity of feed (endogenous and exogenous) and microbial enzymes. The crop represents the first major defence against poultry pathogens and zoonotic organisms with well established adaptive and innate immune function, and a lactobacilli dominated microbiota capable of reducing the passage of these organisms further along the digestive tract. However, the potential to improve bird productivity and health, as well as affect meat and egg safety, are influenced by the nature of the diet, and in particular feed entry and extended presence in the crop. This is required to promote lactobacilli fermentation, the production of lactic acid and other volatile fatty acids, and the lowering of crop pH. Management practices such as meal feeding and the use of lighting programs with extended dark periods encourage crop utilisation. Further, the use of feed additives such as prebiotics and probiotics may enhance crop function, which in turn contributes to well-being of the entire digestive tract. A healthy and functional crop, along with other segments of digestive tract, has increased importance in an era of reduced antibiotic use in poultry feeds.

“…Colonization by a segmented filamentous prokaryotic micro-organism starts about 3 weeks after birth (Blumershine & Savage, 1978). This organism is found not only in the ileum of mice but also in the ilea of rats (Savage, 1969;Davis & Savage, 1974;Blumershine & Savage, 1978), domestic fowl (Fuller & Turvey, 1971;Pearson et al, 1982) and dogs (Davis et al, 1977).

SummaryScanning electron micrographs are presented of the ileal epithelium of mice aged 5, 15, 20 and 25 days. During this period the villous pattern develops to full maturity. By the twentieth day of life a segmented filamentous microorganism colonizes the ileal epithelium and is firmly attached via a small segment. During the first days of colonization the segmented filamentous micro-organisms themselves are subcolonized by small rod-shaped bacteria, presumably lactobacilli. At the age of 25 days this subcolonization was no longer observed.

“…FAO and WHO defined probiotics as live micro-organisms that when administrated in adequate amount confer a health benefit on the host (FAO/WHO, 2001). Probiotic operation has been well defined (Fuller, 1978(Fuller, , 1992Fuller and Turvey, 1971;Parker, 1974;Roach and Tannock, 1980;Smoragiewicz et al, 1993). The aim of this study was to investigate the lengthweight relationships and growth characteristics of three-spot Gourami fish in an in vitro study under different concentrations of Bacillus circulance and Bacillus subtilis.…”

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of diet with different microbial concentrations on the growth and length-weight relationship of Trichopodus trichopterus. For this aim a study was designed with four experimental treatments and the control to evaluate different microbial concentrations on growth and length-weight relationship. The counts of bacteria that were used for dietary supplementation were 1×10 4 , 2×10 4 , 3×10 4 and 4×10 4 CFU g -1 in T1, T2, T3 and T4 treatments, respectively. The results indicated that the use of 3×10 4 CFU g -1 concentration increased the length, and a positive allometric growth was observed. The higher length frequency was estimated in T3. The results indicated that the use of microbial additives with proper concentration causes different allometric growth.

Bacteria Associated with the Intestinal Wall of the Fowl (Gallus domesticus)

Abstract: Using histological and cultural techniques bacteria associated with the intestinal wall of the chick have been demonstrated. The main sites of adhesion were the crop, ileum and caecum. The pattern of attachment was characteristic for each site.
