“…Alzawqari et al (19) also showed linear increases in VH, VSA and VH:CD ratio in the jejunum and ileum, but no morphological changes in the duodenum by feeding desiccated ox bile to broilers. In another study, Mitchaothai et al (44) showed no significant influence of dietary lecithin on morphological characteristics in the three different sites of the small intestine in young wild pigs. In the present study, the longer villi and VH:CD ratio of the jejunum observed in the DSL-fed broiler chickens indicates an increased nutrient absorption for optimal growth and production.…”

“…An explanation could be that DSL supplementation acts as an emulsifier, thereby enhancing the formation of micelles and fat absorption in the intestine of broiler chickens fed on the saturated fat-containing diets (13) . Higher fat absorption might decrease fermentation in the small intestine, leading to lower villi surface damage and consequently better growth performance (44) . Previous studies showed different results due to the addition of emulsifier supplementation to animal diet.…”

Nutritional and physiological responses of broiler chickens to dietary supplementation with de-oiled soyabean lecithin at different metabolisable energy levels and various fat sources

A 42-d study was conducted to investigate the effects of an emulsifier supplementation (de-oiled soyabean lecithin (DSL)) of diets with different levels of metabolisable energy (ME) and various sources of fat on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, blood profile and jejunal morphology of broiler chickens. Diets were arranged factorially (2 × 2 × 2) and consisted of two concentrations of ME (normal and low), two fat sources (soyabean oil (SO) and poultry fat (PF)) and two levels of DSL supplementation (0 and 1 g/kg). A total of 800 1-d-old male broiler chickens were assigned to eight treatments with five replicates/treatment. The results showed the supplemental DSL caused improvements in the overall feed conversion ratio, fat digestibility and jejunal villus height:crypt depth ratio, but the magnitude of the responses was greater in the PF-containing diets, resulting in significant fat × DSL interactions (P<0·05). Abdominal fat percentage was also reduced by the PF-containing diet, but the response was greater in the normal ME diet, resulting in a significant ME × fat interaction (P = 0·048). Dietary DSL supplementation also increased nitrogen-corrected apparent ME values but decreased blood TAG (P = 0·041) and LDL (P = 0·049) concentrations, regardless of the source of fat used or the ME values in the diet. In conclusion, the present study suggests that the improvements in growth performance, fat digestibility and intestinal morphology that can be achieved with DSL supplementation are highly dependent on the degree of saturation of lipid incorporated into broiler chicken diets.

“…The exact mode of action by which emulsifier supplements improve gut morphology is not yet fully known. There is a possibility that the emulsifier supplement, which works by stimulating micelle synthesis in the small intestine, can improve the intestinal mucosa structure of broiler chickens by decreasing intestinal fermentation and thereby minimizing villi surface damage ( Mitchaothai et al, 2010 ; Majdolhosseini et al, 2019 ). Furthermore, it is hypothesized that lysophospholipids can modify the lipid bilayer of cell membranes and reduce the production of inflammatory mediators, which would improve gut integrity and support the morphological features of the gut ( Chen et al, 2019 ; Viñado et al, 2020 ).…”

“…In this sense, aiming to improve the digestibility of saturated fatty acids and the absorption of triacylglycerides, emulsifier additives can be added to diets containing beef tallow. Among the emulsifiers, soybean lecithin is a phospholipid which mode of action consists of reducing the surface tension of immiscible phases of lipids, increasing the digestibility of fat and other lipid compounds (Mitchaothai et al 2010).…”

Two trials were aimed to evaluate beef tallow in diets with and without emulsifier on performance of pigs at growing-finishing phases. In the first trial, 15 barrows (22.03±0.62 kg) were distributed among three treatments: reference diet; test diet 1 (5% beef tallow) and test diet 2 (10% beef tallow). Beef tallow presented average value of 7130.97 kcal ME/kg. For the performance trail, 30 barrows (24.85±1.18 kg) were distributed among five treatments: T1 -diet with soybean oil and 3230 kcal ME /kg; T2 -diet with beef tallow and 3230 kcal ME/kg; T3 -diet with beef tallow and 3080 kcal ME/kg; T4 -diet with beef tallow, 3080 kcal/kg and 0.1% emulsifier; T5 -diet with beef tallow, 2930 kcal ME/kg and 0.1% emulsifier. Feed conversion was worse in animals fed diet with 3080 kcal ME/kg containing beef tallow and with 2930 kcal ME/kg with beef tallow and emulsifier. For economic availability, animals fed diet with beef tallow and 3230 kcal ME/kg and those fed diet with 3080 kcal ME/kg containing beef tallow and emulsifier, did not differ from animals fed diet with soybean oil, which enables the reduction up to 150 kcal ME/kg be compensated by emulsifier addition.
