campylobacter is known to be one of the most common causes of human intestinal disorders. since poultry are known to be the main reservoirs for this pathogen, decreasing this bacterium in intestinal tract could be beneficial in reducing contamination of poultry products. the effects of probiotic (primalac®), medicinal plant (sangrovit®) and organic acid (selko-ph®) as broiler feed additives on ...

INTRODUCTION Antibiotics are chemotherapeutic agents used for the clinical management of infectious diseases in humans, plants and animals. However a sizeable fraction of antibiotics produced every year all over the world is used for non-therapeutic purposes.

Accepted: 22/06/2015 Abstract Weaning is a complex phenomena which causes a great change in the magnitude and diversity of exposure to environmental antigens derived from food and potentially pathogenic microorganisms. Early weaning is a valuable way to get enhanced breeding efficiency and economical profits in modern intensive swine production. But this practice is accompanied by many challeng...

Antibiotics are added at low concentrations to feeds as growth stimulants and at therapeutic levels to cure known diseases. As their action in both instances is to modify bacterial, protozoal or fungal populations, the division between the two categories is indistinct ; this is especially so when intermediate levels are considered. The present outline of use includes other feed additives which ...

Following the January 2006 European ban of antibiotics used as growth promoters in the veal calf industry, new feed additives are needed in order to maintain animal health and growth performance. As an alternative to in vivo experiments in the testing of such additives, an in vitro system modeling the intestinal ecosystem of the veal calf was developed. Stabilization of the main cultured microb...
