Efficacy of protected benzoic acid in broilers subject to Eimeria challenge as affected by diet type
Published:November 9, 2018
Summary
Abstract
It is recognized that the benefits of eubiotic feed additives are not consistently demonstrated in research trials, especially in a clean environment without any challenge. Understanding factors affecting their efficacy will facilitate mechanism of action investigation and guide practical application. A battery trial was conducted with 384 day-old male broilers to evaluate the effec...
In challenged conditions of Eimeria, study on efficacy of aromatic organic Acids is a great job, well done. Phenolic part of benzoic acid has an efficient damaging agent for the bacterial cell, but in this study you did not mention any type of AGP if used, in prospective of gut health what were the effects on villus height, villus width, crypt depth and crypt width. Think it was much better to conduct a comparative study on these parameters at different doses of protected benzoic acid, comparative study with some other novel growth promoters or AGPs, so that it can create more ease for replacing AGPs and selecting novel growth promoters for poultry producers.
