Lactic acid bacteria are important members of the gut microbiota of humans and animals. Here, we present the genome sequence of Lactobacillus crispatus strain C25, originally isolated from the cecum of 4-week-old chicken fed a standard diet. This isolate represents a potential probiotic strain for poultry.

Development of antibiotic resistance in foodborne pathogens, Salmonella spp. and Campylobacter, is a public health concern. Public demand to reduce the use of sub-therapeutic antibiotic growth promoters (AGP) in poultry feeding has resulted in greater adoption of antibiotic-free poultry production systems. There is a need to understand the effects of AGP removal from poultry feed on gut microbi...

there is a distinct possibility that phytate negatively influences protein and energy utilisation in poultry and, as these influences would be ameliorated by phytase, there are substantial, practical implications. despite several thousand scientific papers and a rapidly growing market the use of phytase and the importance of phytate in practical poultry nutrition remains an area of some confusi...

The endogenous intestinal microbiota represents the multitudes of microbes residing in the intestine and is integral in multiple physiological processes of the host, including being a key factor involved in host metabolism, BW, and energy homeostasis. The gut microflora, together with other environmental factors such as diet and stress, can play a central role in both immune and nutritional phy...

Abstract The regulation and maintenance of bone metabolic homeostasis are crucial for animal skeletal health. It has been established that structural alterations in the gut microbiota ecological dysbiosis closely associated with homeostasis. its metabolites, especially short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), affect almost all organs, including bone. In this process, SCFAs positively healing by acting ...

Abstract This review covers the current situation of use Spirulina in poultry diets and discusses its benefits challenges with particular emphasis on effect supplementation production performances meat quality. Feed enriched influences broilers’ health by improving their immune response gut function increasing PUFA pigment content meat. However, despite numerous studies, broiler performance rem...

The microbiota of birds different housing types was studied, namely: cage, outdoor and free-range. number bacteria Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Enterococcus, E. coli lactose-positive, Bacillus in bird faeces investigated. It has been shown that the composition does not depend on type their content but depends nutrition initially located a farm or poultry house environment. At same time, can ...

Bacterial Chondronecrosis with Osteomyelitis (BCO) is one of the most common forms of lameness in poultry. It is associated with opportunistic bacterial infections in the proximal long bones and gut barrier failure. Chelated trace minerals have been shown to improve bone strength and gut health, therefore we hypothesize that MINTREX, the chelated trace minerals, can improve bone structural inte...

AIMS The lesser mealworm, Alphitobius diaperinus is an important poultry pest prevalent during production that is capable of vectoring pathogens. This study was undertaken to determine the gut transit time of Salmonella for biosecurity risk analysis of pathogen dispersal into the environment. METHODS Adult and larval A. diaperinus were exposed to two concentrations of a fluorescently labeled ...
