Effect of Inulin on Some Hematological, Immunological Parameters and Broiler Chickens Performance

Effect of Supplementation of Various Levels of Inulin on Growth Performance, Carcass Characteristics and Survivability in Raja II Broilers

“…The present findings of the study is in agreement with Nabizadeh et al, (2012) reported that 0.5% and 1% inulin inclusion for 42 days had no effect on mortality in Ross broilers.…”

“…Similar result were recorded by Nabizadeh et al, (2012) conducted an experiment on inulin on performance of Ross broiler chicken and reported that supplementation of 1% inulin had significantly higher live body weight compared to those fed with 0 or 0.5% diets of inulin at 42 days of age. Cetein et al, (2005) concluded that increase in body weight in birds was due to immunologic competence of prebiotics and its effect of increasing the active antibacterial substance.…”

Effect of Supplementation of Various Levels of Inulin on Immunity and Lymphoid Organs Weight in Raja Ii Broilers

“…The results of this study on lymphoid organs weight revealed that there was no significant difference in relative weights of lymphoid organs viz., spleen, bursa of fabricius and thymus presented in table 2 and this result is in agreement with the findings of Nabizadeh et al, (2012) reported that 0.5% and 1% inulin inclusion had no significant effect on relative weight of thymus and spleen at the end of the grower and finisher period and bursa of fabricius weight at grower period. The lack of effect on immunological organs weights might be due to the production of Ig and lymphocytes was not increased with dietary inulin supplementation.…”

The use of inulin in poultry feeding: a review

“…On the other hand, Nabizadeh () states that there were no differences in the major indices of the immune system organs (thymus, spleen, bursa of Fabricius) in birds fed with feed from inulin. The author explains this based on with a lack of the avian immune system stimulation, as the experimental birds were relatively better isolated from the pathogens than those remaining in the production houses.…”

“…Nabizadeh () monitored SRBC (Sheep Red Blood Cells) titres and IgM in broiler chickens. Inulin supplementation (5–10 g/kg of feed) resulted in a significant increase in the total anti‐SRBC and IgG.…”
