“…The FcRn receptor has been cloned in sheep, and its distribution in the mammary gland in the peripartum suggests that it fulfills the same role described for FcRn in cows [ 50 ]. Fallah et al [ 51 ], in their experiment of supplementing ewes (Lori-Bakhtiari breed) with lycopene and corn grain, mention that an increase in circulating IgG concentrations has, consequently, an increase in IgG in colostrum at 6 h postpartum, which may support what was obtained in our experiment when supplementing with cereal grains.…”

“…In this sense, Campion et al [ 52 ] reported that the increase in net energy in the pregnant ewe led to a linear increase in IgG concentration in the lamb’s blood at 24 h postpartum. In addition, Fallah et al [ 51 ] reported a substantial increase in blood IgG in Lori- Bakhtiari lambs, reaching a concentration of 25 mg/mL 24 h after birth, as a result of maternal supplementation with lycopene and corn grain. However, these IgG concentrations are lower than those obtained in our experiment.…”

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of two types of nutritional supplementation during late gestation on the chemical composition, energy value, and IgG concentration in the colostrum and the IgG concentration in the blood serum of lambs. Pregnant Merino Precoz ewes (n = 36) carrying single fetuses were used. Animals were kept grazing on the Mediterranean annual grassland. From day ~90 of pregnancy, animals were allocated into three groups: daily supplementation with oat grain or lupine grain and a control group without supplementation. Immediately after parturition, colostrum was collected from each ewe, and a blood sample was taken from the lambs 24 h after birth. For the evaluation of the chemical composition of the colostrum, an EKOMILK® milk analyzer was used. The energy value of the colostrum was calorimetrically evaluated. IgG concentrations were measured by simple radial immunodiffusion. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance. Colostrum content of protein and non-fat solids was higher in the group supplemented with oat grain than in the lupine grain supplemented and control groups (p ≤ 0.05). In contrast, ewes supplemented with lupine grain had the highest concentration of fat in their colostrum (p ≤ 0.05). Oat grain supplementation resulted in higher concentrations of IgG, both in sheep colostrum and in the blood serum of their lambs (p ≤ 0.05), being higher than those observed in the lupine grain and control groups. Ewes that gave birth to male lambs had significantly higher concentrations of IgG in their colostrum compared to ewes that gave birth to females (p ≤ 0.05). The colostral IgG concentration positively correlated with the serum IgG concentration of the lambs (r = 0.32; p ≤ 0.05). The results indicate that the quality of colostrum and the immunological status of the newborn lambs can be improved by supplementation with oat grain.

“…Lycopene has immunomodulatory effects, as evidenced by the circulating percentage of lymphocytes, blood IgG concentrations, and ewe colostrum. Corn treated with lycopene increased the level of immunoglobulin G in sheep's blood, which facilitated passive immunity transfer to newborn lambs (Fallah et al 2021). Dietary lycopene supplementation may increase antioxidant activity and ameliorate AFB1-induced intestinal immune function and barrier function impairment in the intestinal mucosa (Sarker et al 2021).…”

Lycopene is a group of phytochemicals found in nature, primarily in fruits and vegetables. Lycopene is thought to protect against a variety of diseases attributed to its antioxidant capabilities. Lycopene has anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and immunity-boosting qualities, among other biological and pharmacological benefits. COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 19) is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which has recently emerged as one of the world's leading causes of death. Patients may be asymptomatic or show signs of respiratory, cytokine release syndrome, gastrointestinal, or even multiple organ failure, all of which can lead to death. In COVID-19, inflammation, and cytokine storm are the key pathogenic mechanisms, according to SARS-CoV-2 infection symptoms. ARDS develops in some vulnerable hosts, which is accompanied by an inflammatory "cytokine syndrome" that causes lung damage. Immunological and inflammatory markers were linked to disease severity in mild and severe COVID-19 cases, implying that inflammatory markers, including IL-6, CRP, ESR, and PCT were significantly linked with COVID-19 severity. Patients with severe illness have reduced levels of several immune subsets, including CD4 + T, NK, and CD8 + cells. As a result, lycopene can be commended for bolstering physiological defenses against COVID-19 infections

“…Meanwhile, probiotics given simultaneously produce a better effect than given separately. This occurs because the bacteria in probiotics and endogenous ones can take advantage of prebiotics simultaneously [9,26,27]. Krismiyanto et al [28] reported that the addition of inulin from dahlia tubers was able to increase the population of lactic acid bacteria, decrease the pH and population of Escherichia coli, and the relative length and weight of the caecum in Kampung crossbreed chickens.…”

Kampung Super chicken as meat type chicken is an animal protein resource whose demand increases every year. The taste of Kampung Super chicken meat is much more delicious and preferred by consumers. However, some disadvantage traits such as low productivity, not uniform performances, and cannibalism are still found in Kampung Super chicken population. Therefore, to improve the performance of Kampung Super chicken, utilization of prebiotic from a potential natural source such as Dioscorea hispida Dennst should be studied. Therefore, the objective of this review was to evaluate prebiotic contained in Dioscorea hispida Dennst and its potency in improving the performances of meat type chicken. This review was divided into four main discussions i.e., characteristics of Kampung Super chicken as white meat producer, prebiotic profile contained in Dioscorea hispida Dennst, the role of prebiotics in the chicken digestive tract, and inulin as prebiotics in increasing productivity of chicken. Based on the results discussed in this review, it could be assumed that inulin content in Dioscorea hispida Dennst might be a promising prebiotic for poultry feed and might improve the performances of meat type chicken.
