“…BAC and ZAD lowered cholesterol concentration by 9.2 and 16.9%; however, El-Mehanna et al ( 37 ) observed that probiotics supplementation to growing lambs did not affect cholesterol or insulin but increased serum glucose levels. The lowered cholesterol concentration may be due to the inhibition of cholesterol synthesis or the direct absorption of cholesterol ( 43 ).…”

“…The minor impacts of treatments on blood glucose are consistent with those observed by Abd El-Wahab et al ( 16 ) who reported insignificantly differed blood glucose, total protein, and albumin with feeding probiotic to growing calves. However, ( 37 ) El-Mehanna et al ( 37 ) observed an increase of 13% in blood glucose of lambs fed with probiotics. The minor effects of treatments on the concentration of blood AST and ALT, which were within the normal physiological range ( 38 ), indicate that additives did not affect liver function ( 39 ).…”

“…The unchanged WBC numbers with probiotic supplementation somehow indicate that animals were not under stress during the experiment ( 36 ). El-Mehanna et al ( 37 ) observed unaffected RBC, hemoglobin levels and HCT value, while increased numbers of WBC with probiotic supplementation to growing lambs. Moreover, Sarwar et al ( 45 ) observed increased Hb, PCV and RBC in Kajli lambs supplemented with probiotics.…”

“…Increasing daily gain and body weight gain of lambs fed LAC can partially explain these results found for LAC but not in the other treatments. El-Mehanna et al ( 37 ) observed that feeding probiotics to growing lambs did not affect carcass weight, dressing percentage and offal weights; however, increased chest depth, eye muscle area and breast weight.…”

The study determined the ability of three probiotics to improve the nutritional value of date palm leaves in diets of growing lambs. Twenty male Farafra lambs (26 ± 0.33 kg) were randomly allocated to one of four treatments (n = 6) and fed: a control or basal diet (C; 70% concentrate + 30% date palm leaves without additives) and supplemented with Bacillofort containing 2 × 1011 CFU of Bacillus subtilis/g (BAC treatment), Lacotpro containing 1 × 1012 CFU of Lactobacillus acidophilus/g (LAC treatment) or ZAD containing 6 × 108 CFU of R. albus/g (ZAD treatment) at 4 g of all additives for 150 days. As a result of this study, LAC improved (P < 0.05) growth performance and feed efficiency compared to control. Additives increased (P = 0.001) concentrations of albumin, triiodothyronine, and thyroxine, hemoglobin concentration and red blood cells and decreased (P = 0.001) globulin and urea-N. Additives increased hot carcass (P = 0.040) while BAC increased Longissimus dorsi, meat and fat without affecting water holding capacity compared to other treatments. In the metabolism experiment, BAC increased the digestibility of crude protein, while BAC and ZAD increased the digestibility of dry matter, organic matter, and neutral detergent fiber. Additives did not affect nitrogen (N) intake and urinary N; however, decreased fecal N and increased N balance compared to the control. BAC and ZAD increased ruminal volatile fatty acids concentration compared to the control. Based on our results, Lacotpro could be used to improve growth performance and feed efficiency, while Bacillofort could be used to improve meat quality of in lambs.

“…Reduced cellular oxidative stress has been reported for individuals receiving probiotic–prebiotic combination [ 8 , 10 ]. Under subtropical conditions, enhanced ADG of lambs supplemented with a probiotic–prebiotic combination was associated with increased plasma glucose (13%) and IGF-1 (35%) compared with lambs supplemented solely with either a probiotic or prebiotic [ 25 ].…”

The aim of this trial was to test the effects of the use of eubiotics (pro- and prebiotics) alone or in combination in the diet of lambs finished under subtropical climate conditions. For this purpose, 40 Pelibuey × Katahdin lambs (29.5 ± 4.8 kg initial live weight) were used in a 93 day growth-performance experiment. Dietary treatments consisted of a cracked corn-based finishing diet supplemented with (1) no eubiotics (control), (2) 3 g of probiotics (live Saccharomyces cerevisiae, SC), (3) 3 g of prebiotics (mannan oligosaccharide plus b-glucans, MOS), and (4) a combination of 1.5 g of SC and 1.5 g of MOS (SC+MOS). Throughout the study, the average temperature humidity index (THI) was 78.60. Compared to controls, supplementation with SC or MOS, alone did not affect average daily gain (ADG), but enhanced feed efficiency by 5.6% and 6.9% (gain-to-feed ratio, G:F) and dietary net energy by 4.6% and 5.9%, respectively. Compared to controls, SC+MOS enhanced ADG (10%), G:F (9.5%), and dietary net energy (7.2%). Lambs fed SC+MOS had also greater ADG, G:F, and dietary net energy compared to lambs fed SC alone. When compared to MOS, the combination enhanced ADG (10.4%, p = 0.04). This effect could be attributed to the increased dry matter intake (7.6%, p = 0.06), as neither G:F nor dietary energy was significantly affected. Compared with controls and SC, supplementation with MOS alone and SC+MOS increased kidney–pelvic–heart fat, while SC supplementation tended (p = 0.08) to reduce 4.1% the relative intestinal mass (as a proportion of empty body weight) when compared to controls. Treatment effects on the other carcass measures were not significant. In the present study, supplemental probiotics and/or prebiotics improved dietary energetic efficiency in lambs finished under subtropical climatic conditions. The combination of probiotics with prebiotics reinforced this positive effect.
