Effects of mannan oligosaccharide and <i>Curcuma xanthorrhiza</i> essential oil on the intestinal morphologyand stress indicators of broilers subjected to cyclic heat stress

Abstract: Abstract. An experiment was carried out that was intended to explore the growth performance, nutrient retention, and heat stress biomarkers of finishing broilers under cyclic heat stress (HS) as modulated by the supplementation of mannan oligosaccharide (MOS) and Curcuma xanthorrhiza essential oil (CXEO). Two hundred and forty 21-day-old Ross 308 male broilers were allocated to four experimental treatments, each of which was replicated six times with 10 broilers per replicate. The diets included a control (CON… Show more

“…The result was similar to the report of Fajrih et al (2014) that the inclusion of inulin up to 1.17% lowered H/L ratio than control. The lower H/L ratio induced by GEPT inclusion indicated that the bird was in a favorable condition or suffered low stress (Hosseini et al, 2016). The healthier and better body resistance could be related with the increase in LAB and the decrease in Coliform due to the supplementation of GEPT in T1 to T4, as compared to control group (T0) ( Table 2).…”

“…Bursa fabricius and thymus were two organs responsible for the maturation and differentiation of B lymphocyte and T lymphocyte, respectively, in the primary lymphoid organs. These physiological mechanisms could be understood via their effects on H/L ratio as an indication of stress level in the broiler (Ruminska et al, 2008;Hosseini et al, 2016). Body resistance as the indicator of response to the adverse effect of environmental condition or infectious disease might be reflected by the relative weight of lymphoid organs and H/L ratio.…”

“…To address this problems, several international institutions such as WHO, FDA, EFSA, and others, have strongly asked to ban or reduce the use of antibiotics in animal production. Hence, to maintain broilers health and an efficient production, feed manufacturers and research communities have proposed several alternatives to the broiler industry [1,2]. Among these, β-glucans have received considerable attention because of their promoting growth and immunomodulatory effects [3].…”

“…It has been reported that carbohydrates and carbohydrate-containing biomolecules can be considered true antioxidants, capable of scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS). Some studies showed that MOS has protection effect on heat-stressed chickens [ 30 , 31 , 32 ] and when supplemented to laying hens, significantly increased the total antioxidant activity of egg yolk and liver antioxidant enzymes [ 33 ]. Results of the present study are in agreement with the above researches, where chicks receiving OligoPKC showed high levels of antioxidant capacity in their liver and serum at both first and 14 days of age.…”
