“…In this experiment, a significant increase in the phagocytic activity, expressed as the percentage of phagocytes, and a significant increase in the average number of bacteria eliminated by one phagocyte, expressed as average fluorescence intensity of monocytes and granulocytes, were observed in the experimental animals administered Biolex-MB40 in comparison with the control lambs. Similar results were reported by Gu et al (2011) in sea cucumbers (Apostichopus japonicus) whose diets were supplemented with β-glucan, MOS and both substances for 29 days. The highest increase in the phagocytic activity of coelomocytes was found in the group of animals fed both MOS and β-glucan in comparison with the animals whose diets were supplemented with MOS or β-glucan.…”

“…In monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils and microglia, dectin-1 plays the role of a carbohydrate receptor that directly binds MOS (Brown 2006), which stimulates non-specific and specific immune responses. The use of MOS and β-glucans in animal nutrition and their effect on the immune system have been investigated by relatively few studies (Rafstie et al 2010, Gu et al 2011, Sadeghi et al 2013, and no research has been conducted in lambs. The results of previous studies (Milewski et al 2007, Wójcik et al 2008, Wójcik 2010 revealed that the supplementation of lamb feed concentrate with β-glucans, alone or in combination with MOS isolated from the cell walls of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast, delivered significant health benefits.…”

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of Biolex-MB40 on the phagocytic activity and oxidative metabolism of peripheral blood granulocytes and monocytes in lambs. The experimental material comprised 32 lambs aged 30 ± 3 days, divided into two equal groups: control and experimental. Experimental group animals were fed a diet supplemented with the Biolex-MB40 (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) in the amount of 3 g/kg of the concentrate. At the beginning of the experiment (day 0) and on experimental days 15, 30 and 60, blood was sampled from the jugular vein to determine and compare the phagocytic activity (PHAGOTEST) and oxidative metabolism (BURSTTEST) of peripheral blood granulocytes and monocytes by flow cytometry. Based on the results of an analysis of granulocyte and monocyte phagocytic activity, statistically higher levels of phagocytic activity were observed in the group of lambs administered Biolex-MB40 than in the control animals, expressed in terms of the percentage of phagocytic cells as well as mean fluorescence intensity. Biolex-MB40 also had a positive effect on the oxidative metabolism of both granulocytes and monocytes after stimulation with Escherichia coli bacteria and with PMA (4-phorbol-12-β-myristate-13-acetate), expressed in terms of the percentage of oxidative metabolism as well as mean fluorescence intensity.

The juvenile red variant of the sea cucumber Stichopus japonicus is distributed worldwide. It is a valuable food source in Korea, China, and Japan. Major issues in farming the juvenile red variant sea cucumber include growth rates and disease resistance. In recent years, studies have focused on feed additives to enhance immune system and health. In this study, we used a common diet (CD), a nutritional diet (ND; mixed nutritional supplements), and an immunity diet (ID; mixed probiotics, spirulina, and levan) and compared the growth rates and immunity of juvenile red variant sea cucumbers fed the experimental diets for 12 weeks. The growth and survival rates in the ID group were significantly increased (P>0.05). This suggests that the feed additives positively influenced immunity and growth in the ID group. However, the immune activity was exhibit a stabilizing effect, and further investigation of immune effects is required.
