“…These results corroborate the studies of Pirgozliev et al (2008), who observed AMEn improvement in young broilers fed diets supplemented with fumaric acid and sorbic acid, and also corroborate studies conducted by Ao et al (2009), in which citric acid increased the metabolizable dry matter and crude protein. However, Hernández et al (2006) observed no differences in the metabolization of total and ileal dry matter and crude protein in the 16 to 21 day-old period in broilers fed two levels of formic acid.…”

“…Another alternative to APE are organic acids (OA), which have shown positive results in poultry production, for reducing the intestinal pH and bacterial growth intolerant to pH changes (Pirgozliev et al, 2008;Ao et al, 2009), thus providing better intestinal health for the bird to obtain maximum nutrient absorption. Additionally, undissociated organic acids can penetrate the lipid membrane of the bacterial cell and decrease intracellular pH, which leads to death (Ricke, 2003), in addition to stimulating pancreatic secretion and providing better intestinal villus integrity (Dibner & Buttin, 2002).…”

Phytogenic additives and organic acids in broiler chicken diets

-The experiment evaluated the influence of isolated or associated phytogenic additives (PA) and organic acids (OA) on nutrient digestibility, performance and carcass characteristics of broiler chickens. Two experiments were conducted in a completely randomized design with a 2 × 2 + 1 factorial arrangement of treatments (with or without PA × with or without OA + antibiotic performance enhancer and anticoccidial). In the first experiment, two metabolic tests were conducted to determine the metabolizability coefficients of the nutrients of starter and growth diets. In the second experiment, 2520 one-day-old chicks were housed in 40 experimental units to evaluate the performance and carcass characteristics. The phytogenic additives and organic acids, isolated or associated, improve the nutrient digestibility of the diet and replace the growth-promoting antibiotics. The use of organic acids isolated or associated with phytogenic additives in broiler diets improves broiler performance in comparison with free antibiotic performance enhancer at 42 days of age. Isolated or associated phytogenic additives and organic acids provided better carcass characteristics.

“…These results are in agreement with Hernandez et al [10] who found no difference in the cumulative feed consumption between the groups fed organic acids and the control group. However, Patten and Waldroup [15] and Pirgozliev et al [17] found reduction in the feed consumption in the groups fed supplemental organic acids which they have associated with the strong taste associated with the organic acids which would have decreased the palatability of feed and reduced the feed intake but no such effect was observed in the present study. Chicks fed the diets supplemented with organic acids showed a significant (p<0.05) improvement in the FCR as against the chicks fed control diet (Table 4).…”

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of dietary supplementation of organic acids on the performance, gut health and carcass characteristics of broiler chicken. Results indicated that the birds fed diets supplemented with organic acids showed significantly (p<0.05) higher body weight gains and feed conversion ratio. Maximum improvement was achieved in the group fed 3% fumaric acid in the diet. Differences in the cumulative feed consumption were non-significant (p>0.05) among all the treatment groups. Addition of organic acids in broiler diets increased the villus height in all the segments of small intestines but the differences were non-significant (p>0.05) in case of ileum. No effect (p>0.05) on carcass characteristics was observed among all treatments except for length and weight of small intestines which were significantly (p<0.05) increased in the groups fed supplemental organic acids.

“…Organic acids may also positively affect the intestinal mucosa (García et al, 2007) and have a beneficial effect on the intestinal health of poultry (Pirgozliev et al, 2008). The addition of sodium butyrate to poultry diets may stimulate the growth of the duodenal mucosa (Hu & Guo, 2007) and may improve dietary energy availability (Pirgolzliev et al 2008), thereby improving nutrient absorption.…”

In this study, Hisex Brown layers in lay were evaluated between 40 and 44 weeks of age to evaluate the inclusion of bacterial phytase (Ph) and sodium butyrate (SB) to diets containing different calcium levels (CaL). Performance, average egg weight and eggshell percentage, in addition to nutrient metabolizability and Ca and P balance were evaluated for 28 days. Birds were distributed according to a completely randomized experimental design with a 3x2x2 factorial arrangement, with three calcium levels (2.8, 3.3, 3.8%); the addition or not of phytase (500PhU/kg) and the addition or not of sodium butyrate (20mEq/kg), composing 12 treatments with eight replicates of one bird each. There was no additive effect of phytase or SB on the evaluated responses. Feed intake and feed conversion ratio were influenced by CaL, with the best performance obtained with 3.3% dietary Ca. Ca balance was positively affected by dietary Ca, and P balance by the addition of phytase. Ca dietary concentration, estimated to obtain Ca body balance, was 3.41%, corresponding to an apparent retention of 59.9% of Ca intake.
