“…It is well-known that lower pH prompts muscle fiber contraction, causing more drip loss ( 36 ), thus the increased pH might explain why the enhancement in WHC of meat by the diet contained yucca extract and C. butyricum in the current study, evidenced by lower pressing loss and drip loss. Similarly, feeding the diet with yucca extract could reduce the water loss rate of broiler muscle ( 37 ). Dietary C. butyricum treatment was also found to improve the pH 45min of meat in 28-day-old Huanjiang Mini-Pigs ( 38 ), and reduce drip loss of pectoral muscle in Peking ducks ( 13 ).…”

Yucca has abundant amounts of polyphenolics, steroidal saponins, and resveratrol and its extract can be used as a feed additive in the animal husbandry, which might contribute to the improvement in the growth and productivity in rabbit production. Hence, the current study aimed to examine the effects of yucca extract alone and in combination with Clostridium butyricum (C. butyricum) on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, muscle quality, and intestinal development of weaned rabbits. A total of 400 40-day-old male rabbits were randomly divided into 4 treatment groups for 40 days: (1) basal diet group, (2) basal diet contained 300 mg/kg of yucca extract, (3) basal diet supplemented with 0.4 × 1010 colony-forming units (CFU)/kg of C. butyricum, and (4) the blend of 0.4 × 1010/kg CFU of C. butyricum and 300 mg/kg of yucca extract. The supplementation of yucca extract or C. butyricum increased body weight (BW) of rabbits depending on the age, the combined addition of yucca extract and C. butyricum significantly increased BW, weight gain, and feed intake, companying with increased the digestibility of crud protein, fiber, phosphorous, and calcium as compared to control diet (P < 0.05). Furthermore, yucca extract and C. butyricum treatment alone and in combination notably increased the villus high and the ratio of villus high to crypt depth of rabbits (P < 0.05). The combined supplementation of yucca extract and C. butyricum altered the intestinal microbiota of rabbits, as demonstrated by increased the abundance of beneficial bacteria Ruminococcaceae and decreased the proportion of pathogenic bacteria such as Pseudomonadaceae and S24-7. In addition, the rabbits fed the diet with yucca extract and the blend of yucca extract and C. butyricum had significantly increased pH45min, decreased pressing loss, drip loss, and shears force when compared with rabbits received control diet (P < 0.05). Diet with C. butyricum or its mixture with yucca extract increased the fat content of meat, while the combined addition of yucca extract and C. butyricum declined the content of fiber in meat (P < 0.05). Collectively, the combined use of yucca extract and C. butyricum showed better results on growth performance and meat quality, which might be closely associated with the improved intestinal development and cecal microflora of the rabbits.

“…In addition, an increase in polyunsaturated fatty acids (FAs) with a lipid peroxidation decrease in meat was observed, improving meat quality [ 47 ]. Similarly, curcumin with yucca ( Yucca schidigera ) extract, a resveratrol and yuccaloid source, were tested with the intention of enhancing the antimicrobial effect [ 48 ]. Similar to the previous case, curcumin exerted an antimicrobial effect, inhibiting bacterial reproduction and exerting an anti-inflammatory action, improving animal performance.…”

“…Particularly, curcumin was principally involved in producing a high content of polyunsaturated FAs, because it improved the efficiency of desaturase enzymes and reduced lipid peroxidation, thanks to its antioxidant properties. In addition, yuccaloids decreased saturated FA concentration, affecting the lipogenic enzyme Δ 9 -desaturase activity that converts saturated FAs into monounsaturated FAs, such as low-density lipoprotein (LDL) that is involved in cardiovascular disease risk [ 48 ].…”

Polyphenols and Organic Acids as Alternatives to Antimicrobials in Poultry Rearing: A Review

et al. 2021

For decades antibiotics have been used in poultry rearing to support high levels of production. Nevertheless, several problems have arisen because of the misuse of antibiotics (i.e., antibiotic resistance, residues in animal products, environmental pollution). Thus, the European Union (EU) as well as the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) promote action plans to diminish the use of antibiotics in animal production. Alternatives to antibiotics have been studied. Polyphenols (PPs) or organic acids (OAs) seem to be two accredited solutions. Phenolic compounds, such as phenols, flavonoids, and tannins exert their antimicrobial effect with specific mechanisms. In contrast, short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs), the OAs mainly used as antibiotics alternative, act on the pathogens depending on the pKa value. This review aims to collect the literature reporting the effects of these substances applied as antimicrobial molecules or growth promoter in poultry feeding (both for broilers and laying hens). Organic acids and PPs can be used individually or in blends, exploiting the properties of each component. Collected data highlighted that further research needs to focus on OAs in laying hens’ feeding and also determine the right combination in blends with PPs.

“…It is a mixture of curcumin and demethoxycurcumin ( Hernandez-Patlan et al, 2019 ). Some studies have shown that adding 200.00 mg/kg curcumin in broiler diet could improve growth performance, and adding 1.50% turmeric powder and 180.00 mg/kg zinc to diets could effectively alleviate the decline of production performance caused by E. coli for chickens ( Galli et al, 2020 ).…”
