“…In addition to the ileum and cloaca, cecal pouches are the preferred organs for SE colonization and establishment after it is ingested by chickens [35]. After an SE challenge, SE colonized the ceca of young layer pullets [21,26,29,30,36], layer pullets near sexual maturity [24,25,27,28], and adult laying hens [21][22][23]. In this study, orally infecting layer pullets with an SE dose of 6.3 × 10 7 CFU at 8 days of age resulted in colonization of the ceca, as evidenced by load and prevalence of SE in the ceca.…”

“…In addition, Bacillus-based probiotics and yeast cell wall-based prebiotics are among the most used feed additives in poultry. Only recently, however, has there been published research, though limited, testing the effects of combinations of Bacillus and MOS on SE colonization in layer birds [23,[28][29][30]. In these publications, the synbiotics tested contained different Bacillus probiotics and yeast cell wall prebiotics and used either young pullets or adult hens of either Hy-Line or Dekalb genetics background.…”

Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) is a major contamination concern in eggs and risk for Salmonellosis in humans. Strains of Bacillus subtilis and yeast cell wall can be used as substitutes for antibiotic substances in feed against Salmonella in poultry. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of BacPack® (Quality Technology International, Inc., Elgin, IL, USA) Q1+1 (BPQ11), a feed additive combination of a Bacillus subtilis strain and Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell wall, on SE cecal colonization in Lohmann LSL pullets. A control group (CON) and a test group (BPQ) were each randomly assigned 100-day-old chicks. CON was fed a corn–soybean meal-based vegetarian mash diet, and BPQ was fed the control diet supplemented with BPQ11 for the duration of the study. At 8 days of age, chicks were orally challenged with a nalidixic acid-resistant SE strain at a dose of 6.3 × 107 colony forming units (CFUs) per bird. At 7, 11, 15, and 19 days post-challenge (DPC), 25 birds per group were euthanized, and their cecal contents were collected and analyzed for SE. SE counts were 6.88, 7.98, 7.79, and 7.50 in CON and 7.18, 7.31, 6.35, and 6.30 log10 CFU/g in BPQ at 7, 11, 15, and 19 DPC, respectively. SE did not differ between CON and BPQ at 7 DPC; however, BPQ had lower (p < 0.0001) SE at 11 (−0.67), 15 (−1.45), and 19 (−1.20 log10 CFU/g) DPC. Results indicate that synbiotic BPQ11 may be a useful dietary pre-harvest tool for SE management in layer birds.

“…It was also noted in a study made by Xu et al (2011) that the use of these IgY antibodies did not lead to other adverse effects in comparison to the use of antibiotics. It was also indicated that the Avian IgY antibodies and probiotics from immunized hens can be used to control different poultry diseases such as Salmonellosis, Campylobacteriosis, Infectious Bursal disease, and Newcastle disease (Kimminau et al, 2021;Ahmadi et al, 2021). However, it was also noted that treatment with IgY antibodies mainly concerns in reducing the activity of these infectious agents.…”

“…The use of probiotics in layer pullet farming is becoming to be known as a better way of protecting layer pullets against pathogenic bacteria and being able to help in the increase and development of the layer pullets' production performance (Ray et al, 2022;Kimminau et al, 2021). Immunoglobulins IgY constitutes an important fraction of egg yolk protein (equivalent to IgG in mammalian), which offers protection against pathogens to the embryo and chicks after birth (Gandarilla et al, 2022).…”

Antibiotics raise an issue concerning the development of antibiotic resistance of some pathogenic bacteria. The use of probiotics and Avian IgY in layer pullet farming is a better way of protecting against pathogenic bacteria and increasing production performance. Supplementation of Avian IgY antibodies and probiotics(Lactobacillus acidophilus, Streptococcus faecium, Bifido bacterium longghum, Bacillus thermophilum) were conducted on 5,724 healthy layer pullets to determine its effect on their growth and laying performance. The supplement was in powder form with a dosage of 100 mg per liter of water for 6 hours. The effect of the supplementation was evaluated by measuring production parameters on growth and laying performance of the layer pullets; there were 3 treatment groups, the control group, Treatment 2 which received 5 days initial supplementation for the first week and then twice every week for 9 weeks and Treatment 3 which received 5 days initial supplementation for the first week and then twice every 2 weeks for 9 weeks. Results showed that the supplementation had significant effects in the age in days when 50% of the total population per treatment laid their first eggs, average number of eggs produced, % Hen day production, % Hen house production, total weight of eggs, and feed conversion efficiency. It also showed that the supplementation is economical and yielded higher profit. On the other hand, the supplementation had no significant effect on the average body weight and mortality count of the layer pullets. The supplementation of Avian IgY antibodies and probiotics in water soluble powder via drinking water with 5 days initial supplementation of Avian IgY antibodies and probiotics for the first week; then twice every 2 weeks for 9 weeks has the greatest effects to increase the production performance and profitability of layers.Keywords: Avian IgY antibodies, Growth performance, Laying performance, Layer pullets, Probiotics

“…In this context, it has been reported that correct colonization of gut microbiota at birth positively increases the success in the development of the immune system, contributing to keeping a good health status in animals [ 8 ]. Probiotics, which refer to the use of live microorganisms as a nutritional supplement to confer a health benefit to the host, have been one of the main microbiota modulation-based strategies to improve the health status and performance in several productive animal species, including dairy cows, alone or in combination with other strategies such as prebiotics [ 9 , 10 , 11 ]. Remarkably, dairy cow-associated rumen microbiota is mainly composed of members of the Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes phyla [ 12 ], strongly represented by Clostridium , Lactococcus , Flavobacterium , and Prevotella genera, and some other members of the Ruminococcaceae family [ 12 ].…”

Probiotic supplementation in dairy cattle has achieved several beneficial effects (improved growth rate, immune response, and adequate ruminal microbiota). This study assessed the effects on the growth parameters and gut microbiota of newborn dairy calves supplemented with two Lactobacillus-based probiotics, individually (6BZ or 6BY) or their combination (6BZ + 6BY), administrated with the same concentration (1 × 109 CFU/kg weight) at three times, between days 5 and 19 after birth. The control group consisted of probiotic-unsupplemented calves. Growth parameters were recorded weekly until eight weeks and at the calves’ ages of three, four, and five months. Fecal microbiota was described by high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics. Although no significant effects were observed regarding daily weight and height gain among probiotic-supplemented and non-supplemented calves, correlation analysis showed that growth rate was maintained until month 5 through probiotic supplementation, mainly when the two-strain probiotics were supplied. Modulation effects on microbiota were observed in probiotic-supplemented calves, improving the Bacteroidota: Firmicutes and the Proteobacteria ratios. Functional prediction by PICRUSt also showed an increment in several pathways when the two-strain probiotic was supplemented. Therefore, using the three-administration scheme, the two-strain probiotic improved the growth rate and gut microbiota profile in newborn dairy calves. However, positive effects could be reached by applying more administrations of the probiotic during the first 20 days of a calf’s life.
