“…In their study, they demonstrated that 0.5% BA, 1 × 10 9 CFU Bacillus cereus var. Toyoi /kg feed, and the combination group could improve the growth performance parameters in weanling pigs (Papatsiros et al 2011). Halas et al (2010) also reported that pigs fed the diet supplemented with 0.5% BA grew better and had a better G/F than those fed nonsupplemented diet.…”

A total of 150 weanling pigs (body weight of 8.86 ± 0.93 kg) were used in a 42-day trial to evaluate the efficacy of benzoic acid (BA), essential oils (EO) and Enterococcus faecium SF68. Pigs were randomly distributed into five treatments (six replicates and five pigs per pen): CON, control diet; B5E, CON + 0.5% BA + 0.01% EO; B5SF, CON + 0.5% BA + 7 × 10 8 CFU/kg E. faecium; B3E, CON + 0.3% BA + 0.01% EO; B3SF, CON + 0.3% BA + 7 × 10 8 CFU/ kg E. faecium. During d 8-21 and overall, pigs fed B5E diets showed greater (P < 0.05) average daily gain and gain/feed ratio than CON. The dry matter digestibility in pigs fed B5E diet was increased (P < 0.05) compared with CON at d 21, while the nitrogen digestibility in B5E, B5SF and B3E was increased (P < 0.01) compared with CON. Faecal Lactobacillus counts were increased in B5E, whereas E. coli counts were decreased in B5E and B5SF (P < 0.01) compared with CON. All the supplementation treatments decreased (P < 0.05) the faecal NH 3 , total mercaptans and H 2 S emission. In conclusion, dietary inclusion of 0.5% BA plus 0.01% EO and 7 × 10 8 CFU E. faecium/kg of diet could improve growth performance, decrease faecal E. coli counts, while 0.3% BA combination with EO or E. faecium almost had no effect on the parameters except the decreased faecal noxious gas contents.

“…Organic acids are widely distributed in plants and animals produced by microbial fermentation of carbohydrates and other fermentable material, predominantly in the large intestine of pigs. Acidifiers have received much attention in pig production due to their beneficial effects on growth performance of pigs (Papatsiros et al, 2011). In the case of early weaning, a sudden dietary change leads to digestive disturbances (Wu et al, 2012).…”

-The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of blends of dietary protected organic acid supplementation on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, blood profiles, faecal microflora, and gas emission on sows and piglets with emphasis on their modes of action to improve pig performance. A total of 12 sows with an average initial body weight (BW) of 252.40±11.7 kg were used in this trial. Growth performance, blood profiles, and nutrient digestibility of sows and piglets fed protected organic acid were evaluated. The dietary treatments included a basal diet (CON); CON + 0.1% protected organic acid; and CON + 0.2% protected organic acid. The BW and back fat of sows was checked four days prior to farrowing and at the weaning day to calculate BW loss and back fat loss during that period. Inclusion of 0.2% protected organic acid provided a greater digestibility than CON diets throughout the experimental period in lactating sows. Dietary supplementation with 0.2% protected organic acid led to a higher white blood cell and lymphocyte concentration than CON treatment in sucking piglets. Immunoglobulin G concentration observed was greater in protected organic acid groups in lactating sow and sucking piglets. Increased faecal Lactobacillus counts with decreased E. coli concentrations were observed with the diets of protected organic acid fed to lactating sows. The E. coli counts were decreased in weaning piglets. The faecal H 2 S contents were decreased in 0.2% protected organic acid diets during farrowing on day 1. Dietary supplementation with protected organic acid blends beneficially affects the nutrient digestibility, ileal noxious gas (NH 3 and H 2 S) emission, as well as intestinal microbial balance in lactating sows.

“…Formic and propionic acids have considerable activities against the pathogenic bacteria, fungi and yeast (Bosi et al, 2005;Creus et al, 2007;Øverland et al, 2007). Post-weaning piglets fed organic acids-supplemented diets exhibited lower contents of pathogenic bacteria and less incidence of diarrhea and mortality rate (Papatsiros et al, 2011).…”

Sixty 7-week-old New Zealand White rabbits were randomly distributed into 5 equal experimental groups. The experimental rabbits were fed the tested diets till 14 weeks of age during summer season. The basal diet without feed additives (control; T1) and the other experimental diets were supplemented with enzymes at 0.5 g/kg (T2), organic acids at 1.0 g/kg (T3), β-pro at 0.2 g/kg (T4) or their combination (T5). The criteria of response were body weight, weight gain, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio, some blood constituents, carcass traits and economic efficiency. The obtained results can be summarized as follows: Positive effects of feed additives were observed on live body weight, daily weight gain and feed conversion of growing rabbits. There were no significant effects on blood parameters or carcass traits due to feed additives. It can be concluded that dietary β-pro (enzymes+probiotics) or a combination of enzymes, organic acids and β-pro at the tested levels can be used to improve the rabbit performance, with no adverse effects on carcass characteristics or blood parameters.
