Dietary Administration of Bacillus subtilis Enhances Growth Performance, Immune Response and Disease Resistance in Cherry Valley Ducks

Abstract: Given the promising results of applying Bacillus subtilis (B.subtilis) as a probiotic in both humans and animals, the aim of this study was to systematically investigate the effects of B. subtilis on growth performance, immune response and disease resistance in Cherry Valley ducks. At 28 d post-hatch (dph), ducks fed a diet with B. subtilis weighed significantly more, had higher relative immune organ weights (e.g., bursa of Fabricius, thymus, and spleen), and exhibited greater villus heights, villus height to … Show more

“…Rajput et al, (2013) have reported that Bacillus-based DFM significantly induced inflammatory and antiinflammatory cytokines in jejunum and ileum of broiler chickens. Also the Guo et al, (2016) who found that up regulation of IL-1β, IFNγ and IL-10in the thymus of duck fed bacillus subtlis supplemented diets. these findings may be attributed to that the innate immunity system is highly conservative, stimulated by the activation of PRRs (Pattern Recognition Receptors) as MDA5 and TLR3, The activation of PRRs induces the expression of cytokines and antiviral protein which play an essential role in defending against pathogenic microorganisms Barbalat et al,( 2011).…”

“…B. subtilis spores trigger specific humoral and cell-mediated immune responses (Amuguni & Tzipori, 2012). The interaction between B. subtilis spores and macrophages plays an important role in the development of both innate and adaptive immune responses of the host (Guo et al, 2016). Two studies have demonstrated that the inclusion of B. subtilis leads to successful macrophage activation.…”

“…The results are promising since the Bacillus-DFM improved performance of broilers, and even, there were no significant differences between the negative control (NC) and DFM group. It was due to the capacity of DFM to produce certain essential nutrients, extracellular enzymes, and growth factors to promote host growth [99,102] (Table 9).…”
