Effect of Dietary Acidification on Mortality Rates, General Performance, Carcass Characteristics, and Serum Chemistry of Broilers Exposed to Cycling High Ambient Temperature Stress

Effects of Organic Acids Supplement on Performance, Egg Traits, Blood Serum Biochemical Parameters and Gut Microflora in Female Japanese Quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica)

“…Also, it has been reported that lactic acid has the greatest impact on improving FI and FCR in female Japanese quail of 35-84 d. In general, diets containing organic acids improved all performance parameters. The results in the current study were consistent with the findings of some researchers (Fushimi et al, 2001;Dibner & Buttin, 2002;Arsalan & Saatci, 2004;Daskirn et al, 2004;Sheikh et al, 2010). Between acetic (pKa = 4.76) and butyric acid (pKa = 4.82), the lactic acid pKait's lowest (pKa = 3.86) (Garcia, 2007).…”

“…In contrast, the results of other studies showed that some organic acids had significant effects on performance parameters in Japanese quail (Fushimi et al, 2001;Denli et al, 2003;Arsalan & Saatci, 2004;Daskirn et al, 2004;Moharrery, 2005;Lesson et al, 2005;Abdel-Fattah et al, 2008;Ao et al, 2009;Mohamed & Bahnas, 2009;Nuhocak et al, 2009;Sheikh et al, 2010;Adil et al, 2011). Also, it has been reported that lactic acid has the greatest impact on improving FI and FCR in female Japanese quail of 35-84 d. In general, diets containing organic acids improved all performance parameters.…”

“…In additional, diets containing BD+AA and BD+LA, significantly increased albumin, globulin and total serum protein in female Japanese quail at 84 d. The diets contain BD+AA and BD+LA showed a significantly increased cholesterol and HDL, and reduced the triglyceride content of the serum. It seems that LA and AA, with increased protein synthesis, increased the synthesis of lipoprotein in liver cells and transferred triglycerides from the blood into the liver cells (Fushimi et al, 2001;Dibner & Buttin, 2002;Arsalan & Saatci, 2004;Daskirn et al, 2004;Sheikh et al, 2010). On the other hands, some studies finding showed, the organic acids such as BA, LA and AA significantly increased the intestine villi height and crypt depth in male Japanese quail in 35 d (Fouladi et al, 2014).…”

“…With the increase the lipoprotein anabolism reaction in the liver's cells lead to transfer the cholesterol and triglyceride in blood serum to liver cells (Canibe et al, 2001;Fouladi et al, 2014). The organic acids such as LA and AA seems to improve microflora and also improves digestion and absorption of proteins and amino acids, thereby increasing protein anabolism increases lipoprotein synthesis and process of transfer of serum triglyceride and cholesterol increased blood to the liver (Fushimi et al, 2001;Dibner & Buttin, 2002;Arsalan & Saatci, 2004;Daskirn et al, 2004;Sheikh et al, 2010). In the case of measured serum glucose in the experiment, it seems, LA and BA in combination with each other decreased stimulate insulin secretion from the pancreas, as a result in increased blood glucose levels.…”

Performance and intestinal health of broilers inoculated with nalidixic acid-resistant Salmonella Typhimurium and treated with organic acids

“…According to Daskiran et al (2004) and Leeson et al (2005) Table 3 -Development of interaction between inoculated agents and organic acids used for mean weight at 14 days of age and weight gain from 1 to 14 days of age for broilers inoculated with Salmonella Typhimurium via crop and via ration, treated with an organic acid blend due to the reduced microbiological challenges of the mucosa, increasing the capacity of feed use by the animals and reducing the maintenance wastes of intestinal tissues. According to Salazar et al (2008), the way of action of the organic acids in the intestinal epithelium can reduce the pathogenic bacteria population because of their capacity to decrease intestinal medium pH, which hampers the bacteria adhesion to the mucosa, reducing epithelium damage.…”
