Evaluation of Some Treatments for Coliform Infection in Chicken

Abstract

This work was designed to investigate the effect of yeast(Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and Sangrovit as natural feed additives on chicken production performance, some hematological parameters, some biochemical parameters, histopathological examination of (liver and kidney) and total coliform count of intestinal content in normal and experimentally infected chickens with E.coli O 78. A total of 120 unsexed one-day-old, broiler chickens (Cobb) were randomly assigned to 6 treatment groups each of 20 as follows: G1 as the control; G2 received 0.3% Yeast supplement; G3 received 0.1% Sangrovit supplement; G4 infected by E.coli only; G5 infected by E.coli and treated by 0.3% Yeast and G6 infected by E.coli and treated by 0.1% Sangrovit. Our work revealed that Yeast and Sangrovit as feed additives have marked impacts on growth-promoting, immunomodulating and antimicrobial effects with no adverse effects on haematological and serum biochemical parameters and can contribute in controlling and prevention of E.coli induced experimental infection in broiler chicken.

Pharmacological effect of T-NilPlus® and Synertox®, commercial anti-mycotoxins, on broiler chickens in Egypt

“…Administration of T-Nil Plus ® not alters the level of serum uric acid in broiler chicken. These results are in accordance with Mahmoud (14) ; Al-Afifi et al, (49) and Hasan et al (50) who said that administration of Saccharomyces cerevisiae wall not change the serum level of uric acid in chickens. Our results showed that birds treated with Synertox ® revealed non-significant changes of serum creatinine level at 1 st day post-treatment.…”
