This experiment was conducted to examine the effect of multi-strain probiotic (Primalac) on performance, immune responses and cecal microflora in broiler chickens under cyclic heat stress condition. A total of 96 one-d-old mixed sex broiler chicks (Ross 308) were weighed and randomly allocated to two treatment groups, each with 4 replicate pens of 12 chicks. The dietary treatments were basal di...

Prebiotics, probiotics, and synbiotics have been successfully used in dietary supplements to achieve aquatic animal health therefore increase the quality sustainability of fish production. In present study, four hundred twenty common carps, Cyprinus carpio ( 25.37 ± 0.22 g </math...

this study was conducted to investigate the effects of the medicinal plant yarrow (achillea millefolium l.), a probiotic (primalac) and an antibiotic (virginiamycin) on gastrointestinal tract (git) characteristics, microbial populations, immune response, serum lipids and growth performance of broiler chickens. a total of 250 one-day old male broilers (ross 308) were randomly allocated to 5 trea...

Direct-Fed Microbials (DFM) are a putative alternative to the feeding of sub-therapeutic levels of antibiotics in the production of poultry and other livestock species. This study was designed to examine the effects of a commercial DFM (Primalac®), or salinomycin (SAL), a commonly used antibiotic and coccidiostat supplement, on fermentation patterns and lactate production in the cecum and the l...

a 2 × 3 factorial experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of enzyme endofeed w (eew) at 0 and 0.05%, thyme essential oil (teo), probiotic primalac® (pp) and non-feed additive, on intestinal histomorphology of broilers fed wheat-based diet. each of the 6 dietary treatments was replicated 4 times with 12 chicks each from 0 to 42 days of age. there was no interaction between enzyme and ...

background: outbreak and spread of bacterial infections resulted in increasing use of antibiotics which subsequently leaded to bacterial resistance to conventional antibiotics. objectives: to evaluate the effects of organic acids (selko-ph®), probiotic (primalac®) and echinacea purpurea (ep) alcoholic extract on the immune system of the broiler chickens, a completely randomized design experimen...

The objective of this study was to assess the place of prebiotics in the management of neonatal inguinal hernia. Boys with a diagnosis of unilateral non-complicated inguinal hernia, aged less than 40 days, were prospectively followed from January 2012 to December 2014. Clinical and psychiatric data and outcomes were collected before and after prebiotics (Primalac AC) administration. Ninety-eigh...
