“…C. butyricum tended to reduce serum concentrations of TG and TC in the present study. Limited research focusing on the effect of probiotics on lipid metabolism of chicks indicated that the serum level of cholesterol was significantly decreased by adding a mixture of Bacillus, Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, Clostridium, Saccharomyces and Candida into the diet (Endo et al, 1999). Previous studies reported that a fish oil diet significantly decreased serum levels of cholesterol and TG Castillo et al, 2000), while fish oil reduced serum TC levels, but not cholesterol, in our study.…”

The effect of dietary lipids and Clostridium butyricum supplementation on circulating lipids and the transcription of selected genes involved in lipid metabolism were investigated in broiler chickens. One hundred and sixty-day-old broilers (Arbor Acres) were divided into four treatment groups in a 2 3 2 factorial arrangement and fed four diets with two lipid sources (soybean oil or fish oil) and two levels of C. butyricum (0 or 5 g/kg) for a period of 6 weeks. Serum concentrations of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were lower (P , 0.05) in broilers fed diets containing fish oil than in those fed diets containing soybean oil. Fish oil significantly reduced (P , 0.05) hepatic fatty acid synthase and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activities in abdominal fat. In contrast, fish oil significantly increased (P , 0.05) breast muscle LPL activity and hepatic peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-a and LPL gene expression. The addition of C. butyricum significantly increased (P , 0.05) LPL activity in abdominal fat and liver-type fatty acid-binding protein gene expression in jejunal mucosa. The results of this study indicated that the reduced abdominal fat in broilers fed fish oil as observed may be due to augmented hepatic fatty acid catabolism and lower hepatic fat synthesis. The increased intramuscular fat content in breast muscle of broilers fed C. butyricum as described may be the result of enhanced fatty acid uptake.

“…The result of increased synthesis of these acids reduces the concentration of cholesterol. After adding probiotics to the diet, the cholesterol concentrations in the liver and blood serum were significantly lower in cockerels (Endo et al, 1999) and in rats (Hosono, 2000(Hosono, , 2001. According to Kurtoglu et al (2004), supplementation of 250, 500 and 750 mg/kg probiotic increased egg production, reduced the number of cracked eggs, and decreased the egg yolk and serum cholesterol concentrations.…”

1. The aim was to evaluate the functional efficiency of a probiotic strain Enterococcus faecium M 74 in the feed on selected biochemical, haematological and production parameters of ISA Brown hens. 2. Feed in the experimental group was enriched with a probiotic preparation containing of 5 × 10(9) viable E. faecium M 74 per g. Blood samples were collected during the egg-laying period at 5 (w5), 25 (w25) and 45 (w45) weeks of production. Body weight, rate of lay and egg weight were recorded every 4 weeks during the 48-week laying period. 3. Significantly lower concentrations of total cholesterol and total lipids in blood plasma were observed in the experimental group at all sampling times compared with their respective controls. Concentrations of triglycerides did not differ. Significantly lower concentrations of plasma calcium were found in the experimental group at w5 and w45. Concentrations of inorganic phosphorus in the experimental group were significantly higher at w25, but significantly lower at w45. Erythrocyte count was significantly higher in the experimental group at w25 and w45 when compared with controls. Leucocyte counts were significantly lower in the experimental group at all sampling times. Significantly lower values of haematocrit at w5 and w45 were observed in the experimental group than in controls. Body weight, the number of eggs and average egg weight were not significantly affected by probiotic addition. 4. In conclusion, the addition of probiotic strain E. faecium M 74 to the feed of ISA Brown hens reduced cholesterol, lipids, calcium, leucocyte counts and haematocrit values in blood plasma in at least two sampling times, while erythrocyte counts were increased. No significant effects of probiotic on triglyceride concentration and egg production parameters were observed.

To study the effects of supplementary probiotics on dry matter intake (DMI), daily gain (DG), digestibility, ruminal pH, and fecal microbial populations and metabolites in ruminants, two reversal trials were conducted by using four Suffolk ewes fitted with rumen cannula. The ewes were fed with oat hay and with concentrate and oat hay in the ratio of 60 : 40 in experiments 1 and 2, respectively. The ewes in the treatment groups were supplemented with 10 g/day/head probiotics for 49 days. Fresh fecal samples were collected to measure microbial populations and metabolites. On days 43-47 total feces was collected to measure digestibility, and on the days 48 and 49 ruminal pH was measured. No significant difference of DMI, DG, dry matter digestibility, and ruminal pH was observed between the control and treatment groups. The probiotics treatment tended to increase crude fiber ( P = 0.11) and organic cell wall digestibility ( P = 0.18). In the final week, probiotics treatment significantly increased the fecal population of Bacilli ( P < 0.05) and mold ( P < 0.01) in experiment 1 and 2, respectively. No significant difference of fecal VFA and ammonia concentrations between the control and treatment groups was observed. The supplementary probiotics changed population of some microbial strains in the feces and possibly the large intestine of ewes.
