“…These data are probably the main reason for improvements in the absorption of intestinal nutrients and increased enteric functions. These results were consistent with the results reported by El-Katcha et al [56], who showed increases in the length of intestinal villi, thus indicating improved nutrient absorption and increased body weights of growing Pekin ducklings compared with those of the control group. Saleh et al [62] also observed significant enhancements of the pancreas in diabetic pancreatic rats treated with magnetic water, which exhibited a final size and cellular structures of islets of Langerhans that were nearly comparable to those of the control group.…”

“…Alhassani and Amin [55] recorded no significant differences in the body weight, WG, mortality rate, feed intake, FCR, performance index, and viability of Cobb-500 broiler chicks treated with magnetic water using a magnetizer of 500 gausses with 5, 10, and 15 min speeds; however, the contradiction might be attributed to the strength of the magnetic field used. El-Katcha et al [56] recorded an improved feed conversion and PI in Pekin ducklings and attributed these improvements to the ability of magnetic water to increase the intestinal villi length, thus improving nutrient absorption and body weight.…”

Background and Aim: Water magnetization contributes to increased molecular ionization and fluidity, which improves biological activities. This study tests the influence of magnetic water on the viability of the Newcastle vaccine and the survival of Escherichia coli and Salmonella Typhimurium, as well as the influence of magnetic water in face of water impurities' challenges on performance, immunity, and tissue architecture in broiler chickens. Materials and Methods: An in vitro 96-micro-well plate minimal inhibitory concentration was utilized to test the influence of water, saline, and magnetic water on Newcastle vaccine viability and E. coli O157:H7 and S. Typhimurium survival. The 245 experimental 1-day-old female Ross® 308 broilers used in this study were divided into seven groups of 35 birds each. Broilers were provided with magnetic drinking water (13,200 gausses) for 6 h daily from the 5th day and were challenged on days 14, 21, 28, and 35 using sodium chloride (700 mg/L), calcium sulfate (80 mg/L), lead acetate (500 mg/L), yeast extract 5% (5 mg/L), diazinon (2.5 mL/L), and E. coli O157:H7 (1.6 × 109 CFU/mL). A total of 2040 samples (96 diluent-Newcastle virus vaccine mixes, 96 microbial-magnetic water mixes, 231 sera, 231 intestinal swabs, and 1386 organ samples) were collected. Results: An in vitro trial revealed highly significant (p<0.01) declines of 94.13%, 84.53%, and 10.31% in the Newcastle vaccine titer in water, saline, and magnetic water, respectively, and 54.91% and 39.89% in E. coli O157:H7 and S. Typhimurium survival, respectively, after 4 h. In all challenged groups, broilers exhibited highly significant (p<0.01) increases in performance, carcass/organs weight, immunoglobulin G, immunoglobulin M, and Lactobacillus counts; significant improvement in tissue architecture and biochemical parameters; and highly significant (p<0.01) reductions in cortisol, superoxide dismutase, and total bacterial and Enterobacteriaceae counts. Conclusion: Magnetic water could maintain vaccine viability and vaccination efficiency, reduce microbial survival, and minimize the negative influence of all induced challenges.

“…The use of magnetic field to improve water quality is significant interest due to low cost compared to chemical and physical treatment (Ebrahim and Azab, 2017), also it is an environmentally friendly way (Silva and Dobranszki, 2014). Studies revealed that exposing water to magnetic field influences the water's physiochemical properties which affect the biological properties of the organisms that consume the water (El Katcha et al, 2017;Sedigh et al, 2019& Mahmoud et al, 2019. Magnetic field transfers water from dead to live (Hussein et al, 2015).…”
