“…Oral administration of KIC and HMB to steers increased DNA synthesis by mitogen-stimulated lymphocytes in animals [13,15]. The in vitro study showed that HMB has a stimulating effect on the macrophage activity of chickens; it induces proliferation of macrophages in culture as well as enhances Specific ASC per 10 6 leucocytes macrophage effector functions such as nitrite production and phagocytosis [16].…”

“…Leucine is found in all dietary proteins and is an essential building block of protein in all tissues. Scientists have proposed that under stressful situations both animals and humans cannot eat or synthesize enough HMB in the body to meet the needs of the tissues [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. The hypothesis that HMB could be an effective supplement in maximizing muscle growth and preventing muscle loss during stressful situations was first tested in animals.…”

“…In comparison with control, the proliferative activity of B lymphocytes in experimental calves increased significantly by 64%, 47% and 39%, and the activity T lymphocytes -by 104%, 41% and 25% on days 15, 30 and 60, respectively (Table 1). In an in vitro study investigating the responses of the chicken macrophage cell line (MQ-NCSU) to HMB (Peterson et al 1999), the expression of Fc receptors (FcR) on the surface of macrophages was intensified and significantly higher in comparison with control. HMB was also found to induce macrophage proliferation in cell lines and intensify their effector (cytotoxic) functions, such as nitrite production and the phagocytic activity of macrophages.…”

“…An example of a immune stimulator is β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyric acid (HMB) which Correspondence to: R. Wójcik, e-mail: brandy@uwm.edu.pl occurs naturally in humans, animals and plants. The results of research investigating various animal species (fish, birds, mammals), including limited studies of cattle (single experiments performed on older animals) have demonstrated that HMB plays an important role in stimulating the immune system and preventing disease (Talleyrand et al 1994, Peterson et al 1999, Puchajda-Skowrońska et al 2006. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of in-feed Key: * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001; SD -standard deviation; A -p ≤ 0.05; B -p ≤ 0.01; C -p ≤ 0.001 in comparison to day 0.…”

“…many animal species (Gatnau et al 1995, Peterson et al 1999, Puchajda-Skowrońska et al 2006, but very few studies investigating its beneficial effects have been conducted on cattle (Talleyrand et al 1994, Wójcik et al 2013. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of HMB supplementation on selected parameters of the humoral immunity in calves.…”
