“…Moreover, it underscores the importance of considering not only the chronological age but also the dietary context when studying avian intestinal development and highlights the need for further research to elucidate the mechanisms underlying these observed changes. Interestingly, this correlation between morphological adaptations and dietary shifts in the gastrointestinal system resonates with prior findings in geese skeletal development, where bone growth patterns have also been shown to coincide with changes in dietary composition [29]. This is also referenced in available works on other birds [30,31].…”

In this study, a morphometric analysis of morphological changes in the layers of the small intestine (duodenum and jejunum) and liver occurring during the hatching period (week 0) and postnatal development (weeks 1, 3, 6, and 8) was performed in geese. For this purpose, the staining of samples obtained from tissues collected from geese after culling was carried out. Staining was performed using the Goldner method to visualize all layers of the intestine for morphometric measurements. Our analysis focused mainly on traits such as the thickness of the mucosal, submucosal, and muscular layers, as well as traits related to intestinal absorption, such as the height and width of intestinal villi and crypts. Additionally, we also took into account the number of mononuclear and binucleate hepatocytes and other cells present in the liver. After analyzing the results, an increase in most traits was found during the development of the animals, with slight differences between the sections of the duodenum and jejunum. An interesting phenomenon was also noticed—the greatest increase in most traits was observed between the 3rd and 6th week of life, which coincides with the time of feed change. We hope that our work will highlight how important the digestive system is for birds because research on this topic is limited.

“…Tibia bone compositions is often used as an index to determine skeletal mineralization because it is referred to as the fastest growing bone parameter in livestock animals (Osiak-Wicha et al, 2023). Despite the sub-optimal dietary available phosphorus (0.4%) in diets for chickens with acidifier supplementation, they showed better tibia weights and robusticity index.…”

Phytate is an anti-nutrient in feedstuffs that inhibits nutrient utilization by chelating multivalent cations and other nutrients. Hence, the need to buffer feeds to improve digestibility. Two hundred and eighty eight (288) broiler finisher chickens were used for the study. They were allotted to four treatments each replicated thrice with twenty four (24) broiler chickens per replicate in a completely randomized design. The control diet had adequate available phosphorus at 0.5% while others were sub-optimal at 0.4%. Three acidifiers; Fysal®, Acidomix® and Orgacid® were supplemented in the diets of broiler chickens in treatments two to four at 0.1%. Investigations carried out were determination of intestinal pH, tibia bone compositions and gut microbiology. Broiler chickens fed with acidified diets showed significantly (P<0.05) lower pH levels compared to those on the control diet. Tibia weight, calcium and robusticity index were significantly (P<0.05) better in broiler chickens fed with diets containing acidifier supplementation. Those broiler chickens fed diets supplemented with Fysal® showed the best results in all tibia compositions. Organic acids significantly (P<0.05) reduced Escherichia coli, Salmonella sp. and Staphylococcus sp. in the intestinal segments of broiler chickens fed with acidified diets. It was concluded that supplementation of organic acid in broiler chickens’ diets at 0.1% can reduce phytate’s chelation on fed minerals, improving bone mineralization and enhancing gut health for better performance.
