“…In contrast, in the present study, both probiotic and MOS supplementation increased the egg production, but significant increase was achieved by 0.5 kg/ton probiotic and 1 kg/ton MOS supplementations. The highest egg production was determined in 1 kg/ton MOS supplemented group as in the studies reporting the improvements of egg production in laying hens by probiotics (18,23,37) and by prebiotics (7,8,17,33). The increased egg production by both probiotic and prebiotic may be due to the elongated small and large intestinal lengths as well as the their suppressing effects on undesirable bacteria and stimulating effects on the growth and/or activity of beneficial bacteria in the intestines which increase absorptive capacity (7,12).…”

Summary:This study was performed to investigate the effects of probiotic and prebiotic (mannanoligosaccharide) supplementation on performance, egg quality and hatchability in quail breeders. Four hundred and eighty, 18 wk old Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) were evenly distributed to 5 groups with four replicates containing 24 (18 female, 6 male) quail in each. Quail were fed either basal diet (control group) or 0.5 and 1 kg/ton probiotic and prebiotic supplemented basal diets (treatment groups) for 12 weeks. The live weight of animals, egg production, feed consumption and egg weight were recorded, and feed efficiency was calculated. Egg quality, fertility and hatchability were also determined. Supplementation of 0.5 and 1 kg/ton prebiotic to diet increased the live weight (p≤0.001) and egg production (p≤0.01), respectively while 0.5 kg/ton probiotic increased egg production (p≤0.01). Egg shell thickness was improved by both supplements (p≤0.05). Neither probiotic nor prebiotic supplementation to the diets had significant effects on feed consumption, feed efficiency and egg weight, egg specific gravity, albumen index, yolk index, and Haugh unit. Probiotic and prebiotic supplementation slightly but not significantly increased percentage of fertile egg and hatchability. In conclusion, supplementation of probiotic and prebiotic (MOS) to the diet of quail breeders positively affected egg production and egg shell thickness.

“…Recently, considerable attention has been given to the potential of probiotics in altering lipid metabolism. This interest stems from the growing evidence that probiotics reduce cholesterol concentration in the egg yolk Haddadin et al, 1996;Panda et al, 2003;Kalavathy et al, 2009) and in the serum (Kurtoglu et al, 2004;Alkhalf et al, 2010).…”

The effects of the Kluyveromyces marxianus M3 strain, isolated from Tibetan mushrooms, on plasma lipids, egg cholesterol level, egg quality, and intestinal health of laying hens were evaluated. In total, 160 Beijing fatty laying hens (43 weeks old) were divided into four groups and fed a basal diet supplemented with 0%, 0.1%, 0.3%, or 0.5% freeze-dried K. marxianus M3 powder for four weeks. The results showed that yeast supplementation reduced serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), and very low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (VLDL-C) levels (p<0.01), and increased serum high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) level (p<0.05). Moreover, regardless of K. marxianus M3 dietary addition level, the cholesterol content of the eggs decreased by more than 26%. When0.3% yeast was supplemented, significant differences were found in the egg weights, shell strength, albumen height, Haugh unit and nutrient content of the eggs (p<0.01). Finally, 0.3% yeast supplementation improved the intestinal flora conditions of the hens by decreasing the Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus counts (p<0.01) and increasing the Bifidobacterium count (p<0.01). The results in this work demonstrated that yeast culture supplementation to the diets deceased the serum and egg yolk cholesterol, and increased egg quality.

“…However, no further benefit in egg production was noticed by increasing the level of probiotic supplementation from 100 to 150 mgkg −1 . Panda et al (2003) and Kurtoglu et al (2004) reported that the addition of EM at a rate of 100 or 200 mg/kg of feed resulted in significant improvement in egg production. According to Nahashon et al (1994) layers fed diets supplemented 0, 1100, and 2200 ppm Lactobacillus produced 88.9, 90.4, and 89.5%, hen-day egg production respectively and the egg production value attained by the groups fed on diet supplemented by 1100 ppm Lactobacillus was significantly higher than that of the control (P<0.05).…”

Rhode Island Red (RIR) breed of chickens are reported to be capable of acclimatization to the Ethiopian rural production environment. However, there have been serious complaints that the reproduction performance of RIR breeds of chicken is low. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of Effective Micro-organisms (EM) on reproduction performance of Rhode Island Red (RIR) layers. A total of 96 RIR pullets of 16 weeks old were divided into 8 groups, each with 12 pullets. These were randomly assigned to 4 treatments containing 0, 4, 8 and 12 ml of EM/liter of drinking water in completely randomized design with 2 replications for a study period of 22 weeks. Feed consumption, feed conversion efficiency, egg production, egg quality, fertility, and hatchability were used as evaluation parameters. The results obtained showed that there was no significant difference among all the treatment groups in feed consumption, sexual maturity, survival rate and feed conversion efficiency (P>0.05) to an age of pullets, whereas the mean body weight gain of the groups of 24 weeks placed on the treatment containing 8 to 12 ml of EM/liter of drinking water were significantly (P<0.05) higher than the control groups. The results obtained also showed that there was no significant (P>0.05) difference between all the treatment groups of layers in feed consumption, fertility and hatchability (P<0.05) to an age of 37 weeks. On the other side, the mean weekly egg production and feed conversion efficiency during the laying period were significantly higher (P<0.05) for the groups of layers placed on the treatment containing 4 to 12 ml of EM/liter of drinking water compared to that of the groups placed on the control treatments. In summary, the results of this study showed that inclusion of 4 to 12 ml of EM/liter of drinking water resulted in significant improvement in survival and growth rate, egg production, feed conversion efficiency and egg quality parameters. Extending EM technology to indigenous chickens could be the future direction of research.
