“…A study with non-dialyzable materials containing highmolecular weight compounds of cranberry juice enhanced phagocytic functions of chicken heterophils against S. aureus, as well as some humoral response in broilers (64). A subsequent study by the same group on cranberry pomace feeding during a longer administration period found similar effects on lowering levels of serum glucose and triglycerides while increasing blood serum iron level (65). A recent study evaluated different types of cranberry and blueberry products, including pomaces and their ethanolic extracts, and found promising results with regards to the intestinal health of the birds as stated above (63).…”

Immunostimulatory Potential of Fruits and Their Extracts in Poultry

The impact of antibiotic use for growth promotion in livestock and poultry production on the rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacteria led to the ban of this practice in the European Union in 2006 and a restriction of antimicrobial use (AMU) in animal agriculture in Canada and the United States of America. There is a high risk of infectious diseases such as necrotic enteritis due to Clostridium perfringens, and colibacillosis due to avian pathogenic Escherichia coli in antimicrobial-free broiler chickens. Thus, efficient and cost-effective methods for reducing AMU, maintaining good poultry health and reducing public health risks (food safety) are urgently needed for poultry production. Several alternative agents, including plant-derived polyphenolic compounds, have been investigated for their potential to prevent and control diseases through increasing poultry immunity. Many studies in humans reported that plant flavonoids could modulate the immune system by decreasing production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, T-cell activation, and proliferation. Fruits, especially berries, are excellent sources of flavonoids while being rich in nutrients and other functionally important molecules (vitamins and minerals). Thus, fruit byproducts or wastes could be important resources for value-added applications in poultry production. In the context of the circular economy and waste reduction, this review summarizes observed effects of fruit wastes/extracts on the general health and the immunity of poultry.

“…The antioxidant components of blueberry, which was positively correlated with the content of polyphenols, increased the short chain fatty acids (SCFA) production (15). Recent chemical analysis indicated that cranberry pomace is a rich source of carbohydrates and fibers (16). These authors suggested that fatty acids, proteins, and essential amino acids in berry pomaces could improve the muscle growth in chicks at the early stages of life.…”

“…These authors suggested that fatty acids, proteins, and essential amino acids in berry pomaces could improve the muscle growth in chicks at the early stages of life. Moreover, the addition of berry pomaces to animal diets positively influenced gut microbiota composition in broiler chickens, by long-term modulations of Bifidobacterium, Rikenellaceae and Faecalibacterium, while decreased in numbers of undesirable ones such as Synergistaceae, Desulfovibrio and Fusobacteriaceae (16).…”

Feeding practices have been found to influence gut microbiota which play a major role in immunity of poultry. In the present study, changes in cecal microbiota and humoral responses resulting in the 55 ppm bacitracin (BACI), 1% each of cranberry (CP1) and wild blueberry (BP1) pomace alone or in combination (CP+BP) feeding in broiler Cobb 500 vaccinated or not against coccidiosis were investigated. In the non-vaccinated group, no significant treatment effects were observed on performance parameters. Vaccination significantly affected bird’s performance parameters particularly during the growing phase from 10 to 20 days of age. In general, the prevalence of coccidiosis and necrotic enteritis (NE) was reduced by vaccination (P < 0.05). BACI-treated birds showed low intestinal lesion scores, and both CP1 and BP1 feed supplementations reduced Eimeria acervulina and Clostridium perfringens incidences similar to BACI. Vaccination induced change in serum enzymes, minerals, and lipid levels in 21-day old birds while, levels of triglyceride (TRIG) and non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) were higher (P < 0.05) in CP1 treated non–vaccinated group than in the control. The levels of NEFA were lower in BACI- and CP1-fed birds than in the control in non-vaccinated day 28 old birds. The highest levels of all estimated three immunoglobulins (IgY, IgM, and IgA) were found in the vaccinated birds. Metagenomics analysis of the cecal bacterial community in 21-day old birds showed the presence of Firmicutes (90%), Proteobacteria (5%), Actinobacteria (2%), and Bacteroidetes (2%). In the vaccinated group, an effect of BACI was noted on Proteobacteria (P = 0.03). Vaccination and/or dietary treatments influenced the population of Lactobacillaceae, Enterobacteriaceae, Clostridiaceae, and Streptococcaceae which were among the most abundant families. Overall, this study revealed that besides their beneficial effects on performance, alike bacitracin, berry pomaces in poultry feed have profound impacts on the chicken cecal microbiota and blood metabolites that could be influenced by vaccination against coccidiosis.

“…[6,9] Fruit pomaces are generally a good source of carbohydrates and other functionally important bioactive molecules, such as essential amino acids, fatty acids, dietary fibers, vitamins, minerals, and polyphenolics . [10] Phenolics, which include flavonoids (such as anthocyanins and flavonols), stilbenes, tannins, and simple phenolic acids, are a major group of bioactive compounds present in fruits and fruit pomace. These phenolic compounds are of particular importance due to their human health benefits and their application in improvement of flavor, color and stability of food .…”

Drying kinetics and bioactive quality indices (total phenolics, flavonols, anthocyanins, and antioxidant activity) of fermented Merlot grape, cranberry, highbush blueberry, and wild lowbush blueberry pomace were evaluated. Thin layer drying experiments were performed at two loading densities (kg m −2) at 50, 60, and 70°C in a cabinet convection air dryer. Phenolics composition and antioxidant activity of both cabinet convection air dried pomace and freeze dried pomace were assessed. The effective moisture diffusivity (D eff) and activation energy (E a) values were calculated for each pomace type subjected to cabinet convection air drying and experimental drying data from these experiments were modeled with the Newton/Lewis, Henderson-Pabis, and Page equations. This work showed that levels of phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity in pomace subjected to cabinet convection air drying at certain conditions were generally comparable to levels in freeze dried pomace. Results indicated that subjecting the berry pomace to shorter processing times upon cabinet convection air drying (half load density at 70°C) results in better bioactive quality retention. Thus this method could be used to generate dried berry pomace which could be a source of bioactive compounds with potential use as a value added product in the food industry and other industries.
