Day-old Ross 308 chicks were used to evaluate the effect of dietary gelatin on intestinal development and broiler chick performance. Chicks were randomly allocated to two dietary treatments. The first treatment was the control SB diet based on corn-soybean meal and second treatment was the SBG test diet that contained 2% added gelatin with the total sulfur amino acid level remaining the same as...

This study investigated the effects of dietary supplementation with the prebiotics fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS) and mannan-oligosaccharide (MOS) on the performance, small intestinal microflora, and immune response of broilers. Two hundred forty 1-d-old Ross broiler chickens were randomly assigned to 6 dietary treatment groups: control, avilamycin (6 mg/kg), 0.25% FOS, 0.5% FOS, 0.025% MOS, and ...

BACKGROUND The coexistence of cystic fibrosis (CF) and celiac disease (CD) has been reported. To our knowledge there is no study directly comparing the incidence of CD in CF patients to that in the general population at the same time. There is no published data on genetic predisposition to CD in CF patients either. Therefore, in the present study we aimed to assess the genetic predisposition to...

gluten associated disorders and the question around these associations has recently attracted attentions of many health professionals. this is because of high prevalence of undiagnosed gluten related disorders presenting with a multitude of symptoms and complications inside and outside small bowel. while the environmental factors associated with a complex genetics are leading to destructions of...

Restriction in antimicrobial use broiler chicken production is driving the exploration of alternative feed additives that will support growth through promotion gastrointestinal health and development. The objective this study was to determine effects dietary inclusion laminarin on performance, expression nutrient transporters, markers inflammation intestinal integrity small intestine compositio...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of 3 rearing systems ( FL : flooring litter rearing, MC multilayer cage PN plastic net rearing) with or without supplemental narasin on growth performance, gastrointestine development and health broilers. A total 2,400 one-day-old Ross 308 mixed-sex broilers (1:1 ratio males females) were used in a completely randomized design utilizing × 2 facto...

Gender is one of the factors influencing the intestinal microbial composition in mammals, but whether fish also have gender-specific intestinal microbial patterns remains unknown. In this decade, endocrine disrupting chemicals in surface and ground water of many areas and increasing observation of freshwater male fish displaying female sexual characteristics have been reported. Here we identifi...
