  • A blend of botanicals protects cultured enterocytes from damages induced by an inflammatory challenge
Botanicals represent a wide class of complex compounds that naturally contain active principles with numerous biological functions. Among them, the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions are of key interest to support intestinal health during stressful phases. The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of a thymol-based blend of botanicals (BOT) to protect intestinal Caco-2 cells from the damages induced by an inflammatory challenge in vitro. Caco-2 cells were differentiated on...

1. Introduction Nutrition plays a pivotal role in maintaining the health of pullets, quality egg production by laying hens and body growth of broilers (Wang et al. 2017). Nutraceuticals are the nutrients or constituents of animal diet that have nutritional and pharmaceutical importance by preventing various diseases, possessing immunomodulatory potential, providing health benefits and consequently increasing productivity (Dhama et al. 2015; Aronson 2017; Helal et al. 2019;...

INTRODUCTION Poultry needs protein for growth, egg production, immunity, enzymatic activity, tissue turnover, and much more (Beski et al., 2015). Similar to other essential amino acids ( AA ), supplemental branched-chain amino acids ( BCAA ) such as isoleucine and valine allow for a reduction in the crude protein ( CP ) in the diet, whereas leucine is generally found in higher amounts in the cornbased diet (NRC, 1994; Waldroup et al., 2002). A low CP diet...

Congratulations to the authors for this very interesting comparison. It's important to realize, though, that comparing field results between different periods of the year (like in this case summer vs winter) is subject to potentially large error if there exists seasonality along the year. Exploring results from previous years allow to evaluate if this is an important factor to be accounted for. ...

INTRODUCTION During the last decade, the decrease in sequencing costs coupled with innovations in computational technologies (1) has remarkably advanced our understanding of the composition and function of microbial communities residing in diverse environments (2). Accordingly, the roles of microbiota in health and diseases have been well-documented in wide range of animals, yet limited microbiota studies have been conducted so far in turkeys. One study investigated the...

INTRODUCTION Salmonella has been linked to numerous foodborne illnesses from consumption of poultry products. The FoodNet preliminary data for 2016-2019 identified 25,866 infections, 6,164 hospitalizations and 122 deaths due to foodborne illnesses in United States of which Salmonella contribute about 17.1% of total foodborne infections (Tack et al., 2020; Vaddu et al., 2020). They also reported 5 most common Salmonella serotypes in the US - Enteritidis, Typhimurium, Newport,...

  • Subclinical doses of dietary fumonisins and deoxynivalenol alter the cecal microbiota of broiler chickens
Fusarium toxins are one of the most common contaminants in poultry diets. Co-occurrence of fumonisins (FUM) and deoxynivalenol (DON), even at a subclinical dose, negatively affects the production performance and intestinal integrity in broiler chickens. Loss of gut integrity can be expected to alter the intestinal microbiota composition. This study evaluated the effects of subclinical doses of combined mycotoxins on the cecal microbiota composition and diversity in broiler chickens. Broiler...

  • Microencapsulated essential oils as antibiotic alternatives in broiler chickens
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become a serious problem in poultry farms that can threaten both poultry and human health. An increasing number of studies have been conducted on exploring antimicrobial alternative such as essential oils (EO). The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of encapsulated EO including cinnamaldehyde (CIN) and citral (CIT) alone or in combination (CIN+CIT) on growth performance, meat quality, gut health, and AMR phenotypes, genotypes, and virulence...
