The effect of humic substances on gut microbiota and immune response of broilers

Abstract: The work focused on the study of the immunomodulatory and gutprotecting effect of humic substances (HS) in broilers. The diet of experimental chicks was enriched with 0.8% of HS. We noted that HS had a stimulatory effect on the phagocytic activity and the engulfing capacity of phagocytes, however, the level of oxidative burst of phagocytes was not affected. We observed a significant increase of CD4+: CD8+ lymphocyte ratio, an indicator of immune stimulation. HS did not influence the IgA gene expression. In con… Show more

“…Furthermore, microbiota release enzymes that etch metallic ions or fracture molecules from the feed captured by humic acid and expedited through the digestive system into contacted cells. Besides that, the microbiota in the intestine plays an essential role in reducing Cd accumulation through biosorption (Abbas et al, 2005; Mudroňová et al, 2020). The microbiota has been considered a target for environmental pollutants, including persistent organic pollutants, antibiotics, pesticides and heavy metals (Jin et al, 2017).…”

“…Humoral immunity was not affected by supplementation. The immunostimulatory effect is attributed to humic acid, the major component of VH, which has been considered to have positive effects on intestinal health and immunity of broiler chickens (Gomez‐Rosales & Angeles, 2015; Mudronova et al., 2020; Rath et al., 2006; Tohid et al., 2010). In the present study, higher doses of EW increased cell‐mediated immunity of birds; therefore, the VH‐potentiating effect of EW must not be forgotten; however, its effect was revealed rather on humoral than on cell‐mediated immunity (Bahadori et al., 2017; Popović et al., 2005).…”

“…Humic acid has been considered to have growth‐promoting effects in poultry (Ozturk et al., 2012). Positive effects were proven on intestinal health and immunity (Mudronova et al., 2020; Rath et al, 2006), blood cholesterol (Jaduttova et al., 2019; Ozturk et al., 2012) as well as on the quality of poultry meat and fat (Bahadori et al., 2017; Jaduttova et al., 2019; Marcincakova et al., 2015; Semjon et al., 2020).…”
