“…This was confirmed recently by Astuti et al [47], that 0.25 and 0.50% of synbiotic led to enhance synthesis of erythrocytes which reflect on increased hemoglobin and PCV of broilers. Low H/L could be explained by effect of synbiotic to relieve stress and improve resistance against NC and IBD (table 4) and this was similar to what obtained by Abdel Razek and Tony [48]. Later , Mohammed et al [49] indicted also that H/L was decreased in stressed broilers offered diet containing the synbiotic composed of Bifidobacterium animalis, lactobacillus reuteri, Enterococcus faecium, Pediococcus acidilactici and fructooligosaccharides at 1.0 g/kg during exposing to 32 • C for 9 hours from 15 until 42 days daily.…”

“…In this regards, and in line with our results, it was found that synbiotic (Biomin Imbo) containing Enterococcus facium, fructo-oligosaccharides and extracts of sea algae stimulated acquired humoral immune after vaccination against ND, infectious bronchitis (IB) and IBD in broiler chickens [53]. Likewise, using 250 and 500 g/ton of combined synbiotic and specific enzymes (Avi-bac®) as dietary adjuvant stimulated phagocytic activity against Newcastle virus by elevated serum antibody titers for ND as well as IBD [48]. Also, Dizaji et al [54] stated that synbiotic (Amax4x) supplemented diet at 1kg per ton for six weeks did not change the absolute weights of spleen, bursa, proventriculus, gizzard and liver of broiler.…”

This experiment was conducted to explore the effect of fenugreek seeds (FSP) and synbiotic (SP) powders in diet as antioxidant factors on antioxidative, physiological, immunological indicators of serum and anatomical properties during exposing to the oxidative stress (OS) induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in drinking water of broiler chickens from 2nd until 35th day of age. Totally, 300 chicks Ross 308 at one day old of age were randomly allocated into five treatments with three equal replicates in each treatment (20 chicks/replicate). The treatments were distributed into negative control without feed additives (T1) whereas T2 was adding 1 ml (0.5%) of H2O2 per 1 L of drinking water as stressed positive control. The dietary additive (0.5%) each of FSP and SP was added in stressed groups (T3 and T4), respectively and dietary combination of 0.25% both FSP and SP was added in stressed group (T5). The results referred that T3, T5 and T1 registered an increased level in catalase (p≤0.05) and glutathione peroxidase (p≤0.01) activity and there was increased amounts in superoxide dismutase and packed cells volume in T4, T5 and T1 (p≤0.01) in comparison to T2. The T3, T4, T5 and T1 achieved a decreased malondialdehyde (p≤0.05) with considerable decrease (p≤0.01) in heterophils/lymphocytes ratio, uric acid, creatinine, alanine and aspartate aminotransferases compared with T2. In comparison to T2, all stressed treatments and T1 had high antibody titers against Newcastle disease (p≤0.05) and infectious bursal disease (p≤0.01). Moreover, high proportional weights of lung and heart (p≤0.01) were in T5 whereas T1 achieved high (p≤0.01) kidneys weight and large intestine length. Thus, dietary FSP and SP supplement added synergistically or individually could promote antioxidant status, regulate liver and kidney function, and improve immune system of stressed chickens.

“…Suppression of immune cell proliferation by IgY is a short-term action, since passive immunization with multiple maternal antibodies, provided through non-specific purified IgY, was reported to temporarily suppress the natural inflammatory response associated with infection (55). However, this effect is not consistent with probiotic supplementation, since other reports showed significant variation among probiotics groups, and the untreated groups fed a basal diet regarding lymphocyte and heterophil differential counts as well as the H/L ratio (56)(57)(58) Noticeably, the minimum mortalities and best health conditions were recorded in the broiler groups supplemented with IgY, compared to the other groups, which also agreed with previous literature (59).…”

Feed additives are used frequently in variable combinations to maximize broiler productivity and consumer safety. Therefore, we evaluated the efficiency of feed additives used in four different diets: a basal diet, a probiotic (PRO-PAC ®) supplement diet, an egg yolk purified immunoglobulin Y (IgY) supplemented diet, and a combination of IgY and PRO-PAC ® supplement (n = 15 for each group). We assessed the improvement of behavioral and hematological parameters of Ross broilers before and after an immune stress challenge using lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Behavioral as well as physiological parameters were analyzed. The standing frequency was the highest (P <0.05) in broilers supplemented with a combination of probiotics and IgY. Likewise, latency approach score to a novel object improved (P < 0.01) in the combination group at week-3. After intraperitoneal injection of LPS, this combination group achieved the best gait score at week-3, followed by week-5, compared to birds fed the basal diet. The heterophil/lymphocyte (H/L) ratio, heterophil differential count, and eosinophil differential count in the basal diet group that was challenged with LPS were significantly increased (P < 0.01, P < 0.001, P < 0.05, respectively) compared to the combination groups. Therefore, we concluded that the combination of IgY and probiotics can significantly improve the behavior and the underlying physiological parameters of Ross broilers. Consequently, this combination can improve the broilers ′ health, welfare and produce a safe meat free from harmful chemical residues.

“…The present study found that 150 mg/kg XOS significantly increased ADG in broilers aged 22–42 days and 1–42 days, in contrast with the control group. Feeding behavior is related to resting behavior and, therefore, growth performance [ 34 ]. Research shows that there was a significant negative correlation between the daily feeding frequency and the ADG of chickens, and breeding chickens with a lower feeding frequency could improve production performance [ 35 ].…”

A total of 240 1-day-old Arbor Acres broiler chickens were randomly distributed to 4 treatment groups with 6 replicates and 10 birds per replicate. Chickens were fed with corn-soybean meal diet supplementation with additions of 0, 150, 300, and 450 mg/kg XOS for 42 days. At 4 weeks of age, the average feeding time was reduced in the 450 mg/kg XOS group (p < 0.05), and the percentage of feeding time was increased in the 300 mg/kg XOS group (p < 0.05). At 5 weeks of age, broilers fed with 300 mg/kg XOS had increased the percentage of feeding time (p < 0.05), and 450 mg/kg XOS had increased the feeding frequency and percentage of feeding time (p < 0.05). At 6 weeks of age, the feeding frequency was highest in the 450 mg/kg XOS group (p < 0.05). During 4 to 6 weeks of age, the average feeding time was increased in 300 mg/kg XOS group (p < 0.05), the frequency was improved in the 450 mg/kg XOS group (p < 0.05), and the percentage of feeding time was longer in the XOS group than that in the control group (p < 0.05). The average daily gain was improved during days 22–42 and days 1–42 in the 150 mg/kg XOS group (p < 0.05). Broilers fed with 300 mg/kg XOS had an increased eviscerated rate (p < 0.05). The pH45min of breast muscle was highest in the 450 mg/kg XOS group (p < 0.05), as well as the pH45min and pH24h of thigh muscle, which improved in the 300 mg/kg and 450 mg/kg XOS groups (p < 0.05). In addition, the cooking loss of thigh muscle was reduced in the 300 mg/kg XOS group (p < 0.05). In conclusion, dietary supplementation with XOS had positive effects on the feeding behavior, growth performance, and meat quality of broiler chickens.
