“…Microencapsulated sodium butyrate supplementation at 0.04% in broiler diet did not affect shear force value [ 30 ]. Similar observations were recorded by some of the researchers [ 31 ] in addition of sodium butyrate at different levels in broilers. Tyrosine value and TBA of the breast muscle were not influenced by low level of CO with either low (T 3 ) or high (T 4 ) level of CSB and high level of CO with either low (T 5 ) or high (T 6 ) level of CSB compared to control (T 1 ) and antibiotic (T 2 ) groups in broiler ration.…”

“…The addition of CO at 200 ppm in Japanese quail diet did not influence in meat pH [ 29 ] and also the microencapsulated sodium butyrate supplementation at 0.04% in broiler diet did not affect meat pH and WHC [ 30 ]. Similarly, the addition of SB at different levels did not influence meat pH and WHC in broiler meat [ 31 ]. Cooking loss of breast muscle was not influence in the combination of CO and CSB compared to control (T 1 ) and antibiotic (T 2 ) group in broilers.…”

Aim:An in vivo experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of supplementation of cinnamon oil (CO) and sodium butyrate on carcass characteristics and meat quality of broiler chicken compared with the antibiotic supplementation.Materials and Methods:A biological experiment was carried out with 216-day-old Vencobb-400 broiler chicks randomly distributed to six experimental treatments with six replicates, each replicate containing six chicks with equal numbers of male and female chicks. The experimental diets were prepared with isocaloric and isonitrogenous basis. The experimental groups, namely control (T1), control with antibiotic (T2), control with CO at 250 mg/kg and coated sodium butyrate (CSB) either at 0.09 (T3) or 0.18% (T4), and control with CO at 500 mg/kg and CSB either at 0.09 (T5) or 0.18% (T6). The trial was carried out in deep litter pen for 35 days. The carcass characteristics such as ready to cooked yield, eviscerated weight, heart, liver, gizzard, giblet, and abdominal fat percent in slaughtered birds and meat quality properties such as pH, water-holding capacity (WHC), tyrosine, shear force, cooking loss, thiobarbituric acid, sensory characteristics, and muscle cholesterol in breast muscle samples were evaluated.Results:The carcass characteristics such as ready-to-cook yield, eviscerated weight, and weight of heart, liver, gizzard, giblet, and abdominal fat as a percent of live body weight were not influenced by supplementation of CO and CSB at the levels attempted or by antibiotic supplementation in broilers. The pH, cooking loss, shear force and WHC of meat, appearance, flavor, texture, mouth coating, juiciness and overall acceptability of meat were not influenced by the supplementation of different levels of CO and CSB or by antibiotic supplementation but decreased meat cholesterol level in broilers.Conclusion:The results indicated that the supplementation of CO and CSB in broiler diet did not alter the carcass characteristics and meat quality parameters except meat cholesterol content in broilers.

“…Data in the current study showed that feeding butyric acid resulted in higher (P<0.05) level of serum albumin of broilers at day 35 (Table 6). Concomitant to our result, Deepa et al (2018) noticed that feeding butyric acid glycerides at the level of 0.4% increased the concentration of serum albumin in broiler chicks. It was most likely that feeding butyric acid improved protein digestibility (Imran et al, 2018) as well as intestinal villi morphology leading to improved protein absorption in broilers (Sugiharto, 2016).…”

“…Butyric acid is also able to improve digestibility and absorption of nutrients so that it has a beneficial impact on the growth rate of broiler chicks (Kaczmarek et al, 2016). Unlike other organic acids, butyric acid is a substrate or energy source that is very important for enterocyte or intestinal epithelial cells (Deepa et al, 2018). In this regard, administration of butyric acid may improve the intestinal development and functions in terms of digestive and absorptive capacity of birds (Salmanzadeh, 2013;Deepa et al, 2018).…”

The study investigated the influence of dietary incorporation of formic acid, butyric acid or their blends on growth rate, haematological indices and intestinal morphometric of broilers. A number of 240 Lohmann MB-202 chicks were pass rounded to four dietary groups, including CONT (chicks taking in basal feed with no additive), BTRT (chicks receiving basal feed with 0.03% butyric acid), FRMT (chicks receiving basal feed with 0.1% formic acid) and BTRT+FRMT (chicks receiving basal feed containing 0.03% butyric acid and 0.1% formic acid). Weight of chicks and intake were measured every week, while blood sample was collected at day 21 and 35. At day 35, birds were slaughtered and small intestinal segments and digesta were collected. At day 21, body weight was bigger (P<0.05) in BTRT+FRMT than in other birds. Feeding the blends of formic and butyric acids resulted in higher (P<0.05) value of mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) at day 21. Feeding organic acids was associated with the lower (P<0.05) proportion of thrombocytes in broilers at day 35. Supplementation of butyric acid resulted in higher (P<0.05) serum albumin concentration at day 35. Butyric acid produced higher (P<0.05) levels of triglyceride as well as low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in the serum. The mixture of formic and butyric acids resulted in higher (P<0.05) titer of antibody against Newcastle disease vaccine (NDV) at day 21. Feeding formic acid decreased (P<0.05) ileal population of lactose negative enterobacteria at day 35. Overall, dietary supplementation of the blends of formic and butyric acids resulted in improved growth and immune defence of broiler chicks.

“…Interestingly, in the present study, feeding the broilers the diet containing the butyric acidifier resulted in deeper crypts in birds at 35 and 42 days of age, which are indicative of a higher rate of enterocyte cell renewal. According to Deepa et al [31], this could be attributed to the antimicrobial properties of butyric acid. On the other hand, Emami et al [32] demonstrated beneficial actions of dietary organic acids (formic and propionic acids) on the stimulation of intestinal mucosal growth in broilers, which was suggested to be due to trophic effects stimulating mucosal cell proliferation.…”

Additives with bioactive properties can improve chickens’ gut health. This study investigated the physiological status of the gut, including its morphological structure and microbiome activities in chickens fed diets supplemented with phytogenic ingredients with hops (Anta®Phyt) or a mixture of a free butyrate acidifier and gluconic acid (PreAcid). In this study, 1155 broilers were distributed to three dietary treatments with 5 replicate pens per treatment, 77 birds each. Anta®Phyt was added at 400/300/200/200 mg/kg diet whereas PreAcid was added at 3/2/1/1 g/kg starter/grower I/grower II/finisher diet respectively. Dietary treatments did not compromise body weight in different growth periods. In the birds fed PreAcid-supplemented diet, higher gut concentration of butyric acid was observed, particularly in the early stage of growth, while the profile of the short-chain fatty acids was maintained among the treatments. Neither additive significantly affected cecal bacterial enzyme activities. Feeding the birds with Anta®Phyt and PreAcid had beneficial effects on gut morphostructure indices, including intestinal wall thickness, crypt depth and the villus height to crypt depth ratio, in 35- and 42-day old birds. In conclusion, the feeding Anta®Phyt- or PreAcid-supplemented diet exerted beneficial effects on the indices determining the physiological status of the gut and maintained good performance of birds of different ages.
