“…In this experiment, body weight is similar to control fed Aspergillus meal. Generally, in previous study body weight is improvement with Aspergillus meal (Khan et al, 2000;Piray et al, 2007;Khaksar et al, 2008). Navidshad et al (2010) reported that in the study, Aspergillus meal caused no differences in feed intake among treatments.…”

“…But, Baurhoo et al (2009) reported that non-significant improvement in body weight. In some studies on broiler chickens, Aspergillus meal resulted in better body weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio (Piray et al, 2007;Khaksar et al, 2008;Piray and Kermanshahi, 2008). Several studies have shown the beneficial effects of prebiotics on poultry performance (Spring et al, 2000;Xu et al, 2003;), but the publications about Aspergillus riginated prebiotics are almost limited.…”

Objective:The experiment was conducted to determine the individual and combined effects of probiotic, prebiotic and enzyme on performance, carcase, organs, intestinal pH and viscosity of broilers. Material and Methods: A total of seven hundred day-old male Ross-308 broiler chicks were individually weighted and distributed into 28 floor pens with 25 chicks per pen in from 0 to 42 d of age. Seven starter and grower diets were formulated to provide a similar nutrient profile with the exception of using experimental feed additives (1 g per kg) or a combined addition of these additives (0.5 g+0.5 g per kg). The diets were supplemented with: no feed additives (control), probiotic, prebiotic, enzyme, probiotic+prebiotic, probiotic+enzyme mixture, prebiotic+enzyme mixture. Results: Probiotic, probiotic+prebiotic and probiotic+enzyme supplementation significantly increased body weights at 42 days (P<0.05). There were no differences in feed intake, feed conversion ratio, relative weights of the proventriculus, gizzard, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, colon, cecum liver, pancreas, spleen, heart and bursa of broilers among the treatments during the experiment (P>0.05). Intestinal pH and viscosity were decreased by adding feed additives when compared with the control. Conclusion: The synergistic effects between probiotics, prebiotics and enzymes should be further investigated, and suitable combinations and levels should be determined in practice. ÖZAmaç: Deneme, probiyotik, prebiyotik ve enzimin etlik piliçlerde performans, karkas, organlar, bağırsak pH'ı ve viskozitesi üzerine tek başına ve kombine etkilerini belirlemek amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Materyal ve Metot: Bir günlük yaşta 700 adet erkek Ross-308 etlik civciv, bireysel olarak tartılmış ve her bölmede 25 civciv olacak şekilde 28 gruba dağıtılarak 0-42. günler arasında barındırılmıştır. Denemede kullanılan katkı maddeleri dışında benzer besin madde profiline sahip ve kullanılan yem katkı maddesinin tek başına (1 g/kg) veya kombine şekilde (0.5 g/kg+0.5 g/kg) ilave edildiği yedi adet başlatma ve büyütme yemi formülasyonu oluşturulmuştur. Yemler, katkı maddesi içermeyen (kontrol), prebiyotik, enzim, probiyotik+prebiyotik, probiyotik+enzim ve prebiyotik+enzim içerecek şekilde hazırlanmıştır. Bulgular: Probiyotik, probiyotik+prebiyotik ve probiyotik+enzim ilavesi 42. gün canlı ağırlığını önemli derecede artırmıştır (P<0.05). Deneme süresince, gruplar arasında yem tüketimleri, yemden yararlanma oranları ile bezel mide, taşlık, duedonum, jejunum, ileum, kalın bağırsak, kör bağırsak, karaciğer, pancreas, dalak, kalp ve bursanın oransal ağırlıkları bakımından bir farklılık saptanmamıştır (P>0.05). Yem katkısı ilavesinin bağırsak pH'ı ve viskozitesi üzerine önemli bir etkisi belirlenmiştir. Kontrol grubu ile karşılaştırıldığında deneme katkılarının ilavesi ile bağırsak pH'ı ve viskozitesi azalmıştır. Sonuç: Probiyotikler, prebiyotikler ve enzimler arasındaki sinerjik etkiler daha fazla araştırılmalı, pratikte uygun kombinasyonlar ve seviyeler belirlenmelidir.

“…This was made possible by the decrease in FCR, enhanced intestinal absorptive area through increased villi length and added gut mucosa antigenic response. This finding is in agreement with previous studies conducted by Midilli and Tuncer [33] and Piray et al [45] in which increases in body weights were reported in broilers fed diets supplemented with probiotics and prebiotics, respectively. Also, this result demonstrated that probiotic supplementation has a more positive effect on body weight when administered in higher concentrations.…”

ABSTRACT. In poultry, the benefits of probiotic supplementation on broiler performance and health have been reported. The present study examined the effect of supplemental yeast probiotic preparations on body weight, thyroid hormone metabolism and serum lipid profile in broilers. The experiment was carried out on hybrid Marshall broiler chickens (n=200). Two hundred 1-day-old chicks were randomly selected and distributed into 4 groups of 50 1-day-old chicks each (control, C; E 1 0.5%, E 2 1.5% and E 3 2.0%, experimental groups). The birds were housed in an environmentally controlled poultry house with the floor covered with wood shavings. Chicks were fed commercial broiler starter diet for the first 28 days of age, followed by pelleted finisher diet from 29-42 days. Feed and water were provided ad libitum. Chickens fed 2.0% probiotic had a significantly (P<0.05) higher body weight when compared with the control group. The blood glucose concentration was significantly (P<0.05) different in the E 3 1.5% probiotic supplemented group when compared with the control. There was highly significant (P<0.05) difference in T 4 level in the E 3 2.0% probiotic group when compared with the control. However, there was a significant difference in cholesterol concentrations observed in the experimental group supplemented with E 1 0.5% probiotic. The concentration of triglycerides was not affected by the probiotic supplementation. Significant differences (P<0.01) were observed in HDL concentrations in all experimental groups supplemented with the probiotic when compared with the control group. In conclusion, supplementing broiler feeds with a yeast probiotic increased body weight, enhanced thyroid hormone metabolism, and decreased cholesterol and lipoproteins in broiler chickens.
