An Immobilized Form of a Blend of Essential Oils Improves the Density of Beneficial Bacteria, in Addition to Suppressing Pathogens in the Gut and Also Improves the Performance of Chicken Breeding

Microorganisms, 2023
Antimicrobial growth promoters (AGP) are used in chicken production to suppress pathogens in the gut and improve performance, but such products tend to suppress beneficial bacteria while favoring the development and spread of antimicrobial resistance.

Effect of supplementation of graded concentrations of xylanase and α-amylase on performance, slaughter variables, and energy digestibility in broiler chickens fed corn-soybean meal–based diet

Journal of Applied Poultry Research, 2021
Summary: Four experiments were conducted to study the effect of supplementing different concentrations of xylanase (Xyl) (3,200–24,000 u/kg) and α-amylase (Amy) (300–2,250 u/kg) to corn-soybean meal (SBM)–based diets on performance, carcass variables ...

Antibiotic resistance of faecal enterococci in poultry, poultry farmers and poultry slaughterers [PDF]

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2002
The prevalence of resistance in enterococci to antibiotics, commonly used for therapy in poultry or as antimicrobial growth promoters (AMGPs), was determined in faecal samples of two chicken populations: broilers in which antibiotic and AMGP use is common and laying-hens with a low antibiotic usage.

Integrative analysis of circRNA, miRNA, and mRNA profiles to reveal ceRNA regulation in chicken muscle development from the embryonic to post-hatching periods

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background The growth and development of skeletal muscle are regulated by protein-coding genes and non-coding RNA. Circular RNA (circRNA) is a type of non-coding RNA involved in a variety of biological processes, especially in post-transcriptional ...

Dietary fiber in poultry nutrition and their effects on nutrient utilization, performance, gut health, and on the environment: a review

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2021
Dietary fiber (DF) was considered an antinutritional factor due to its adverse effects on feed intake and nutrient digestibility. However, with increasing evidence, scientists have found that DF has enormous impacts on the gastrointestinal tract (GIT ...
