Agriculture, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(5), P. 663 - 663

Published: April 25, 2024

Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq. ex Fr.) P. Kumm mushrooms are cultivated on diverse by-products based substrates that hold promise for mitigating antibiotic usage in the poultry industry and reducing environmental pollution. By incorporating agricultural into mushroom cultivation, functionality of products can be increased, then final product a more effective feed supplement. After spent substrate (SMS) valorized, due to presence huge amounts bioactive compounds like β-glucan, chitin, polyphenols, flavonoids related mycelia. As prebiotic antimicrobial supplement, these positively influence gut microbiota, intestinal morphology, thus overall well-being. This article underscores potential solid-state fermentation (SSF) enhance bioactivity oyster their derivatives, offering cost-effective efficient strategy transforming unconventional feeding materials. Moreover, it emphasizes broader implications, including reduction dependence farming, highlighting promising integration derivatives sustainable environmentally conscious production.

Dietary Curcumin Modulating Effect on Performance, Antioxidant Status, and Immune-Related Response of Broiler Chickens Exposed to Imidacloprid Insecticide

Animals, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 13(23), P. 3650 - 3650

Published: Nov. 25, 2023

Birds appear to be especially vulnerable adverse impacts from insecticides. This is true for imidacloprid (IMI), which considered the most toxic avian species. Recently, prospective studies aimed at including natural alternative products alleviate impact that comes insecticides have been increased. Focusing on herbal growth promoters and antioxidative medicament poultry industry, this ongoing experiment was conducted examine curcumin role (CUR) in mitigating IMI-prompted detrimental effects broilers’ performance, immunity, antioxidant status. A total number of one hundred fifty commercial meat-type Ross 308 broilers chicks (one-day-old) were randomly allocated into equal five groups (30 chicks/group 10 birds/replicate). The first group (C) control; second fed a diet containing CUR level 450 mg/kg; third (IMI) control 14 days then IMI 50 fourth (CUR+IMI co-treated) CUR+IMI; fifth pro/co-treated) as protective CUR+IMI rest trial. supplementation either (CUR or significantly (p < 0.05) improved final body weight gain while decreasing feed intake conversion ratio when compared IMI-exposed non-treated birds. induced significant enhancement hematological indices, phagocytosis %, phagocytic index, intracellular killing capacity, proteins, globulin, liver function enzymes, lysozyme activity, immunoglobulin-G levels In addition, dietary modulated oxidative stress-related biomarkers splenic tissues (total superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase) decreased malondialdehyde down-regulated mRNA expression IL-1β, TNF-α, TLR4 up-regulated IL-10 spleens birds those exposed IMI-and non-treated. Finally, our results provided new insight IMI-induced immuno-toxicity broiler chickens. Furthermore, time, study informed can cause an vivo effect against toxicity, principally and/or concurrent during exposure toxicity.

Advancements in synergistic fermentation of probiotics and enzymes for non‐grain feed raw materials

Animal Research and One Health, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Oct. 23, 2024

Abstract To address the escalating challenge of food scarcity and associated conflicts between human animal consumption, it is imperative to seek alternative resources that can substitute for traditional feed. Non‐grain feed (NGF) raw materials represent a category biomass are distinct from grains in their composition. These characterized by high nutritional content, cost‐effectiveness, ample availability, consistent supply, which contribute significant economic potential. Nonetheless, extensive application NGF currently hindered several limitations, including concentration antinutritional factors, suboptimal palatability, an offensive odor, among other shortcomings. The synergistic fermentation probiotics enzymes (SFPE) innovative approach integrates use diverse array during process, as well various strains throughout digestion process. This method aims enhance value feed, diminish presence improve overall thereby facilitating optimal utilization NGF. strategy holds promise not only replacing conventional options but also mitigating pressing issue grain scarcity. paper delves into practical applications presents overview latest research advancements SFPE techniques, provide cutting‐edge valuable reference researchers who devote themselves this field future.

This study was conducted to investigate and compare the effects of substituting soybean meal (SBM) with untreated cottonseed (CSM), fermented CSM (FCSM), or electron beam-irradiated (ICSM) on growth performance, cecal microbiota, digestive enzyme activity, apparent ileal digestibility (AID), excreta gas emission broiler chickens. A total 384 one-day-old male chickens were randomly assigned four experimental diets, eight replicates per diet 12 birds replicate, for six weeks. The diets consisted a control based corn–SBM three other in which 50% SBM (control) substituted its raw, irradiated, forms. results showed that throughout entire rearing period, feeding ICSM significantly increased average daily gain (ADG) body weight (BW) compared (p < 0.05). Replacing FCSM led significant improvement BW, ADG, feed conversion ratio (FCR) Interestingly, no differences FCR observed between fed those > Birds exhibited lowest pH value crop, ileum, ceca.
