The effect of inulin on broiler chicken intestinal microflora, gut morphology, and performance (2012, background): “Compared with the application of prebiotics in human and pet food, the use of prebiotics in broiler chicken diets does not have a long history, and reports on their effects on the activity of the microflora of broilers are limited and the effects are variable (Yang et al., 2009).”
Effects of non-antibiotic feed additives on performance, immunity and intestinal morphology of broilers fed different levels of protein (2012, background): “Numerous factors such as the environment, management, nutrition, additive type, dosage and bird characteristics (age, species, stage of production) can affect broiler responses to probiotics (Yang et al., 2009), thereby accounted for the contrasting results.”
Sodium butyrate in chicken nutrition: the dynamics of performance, gut microbiota, gut morphology, and immunity (2016, background): “Long villi and shallow crypts provide a larger surface area for the absorption of nutrients and low renewal rate, allowing efficient enzyme production and maturation of the intestinal cells (Yang et al., 2009).”
Growth Performance, Meat Quality and Caecal Coliform Bacteria Count of Broiler Chicks Fed Diet with Green Tea Extract (2011, unknown): “The assumption is that differences in results are consequences of numerous factors, such as the type and part of plant used and their physical properties, the time of harvest, the preparation method of phytogenic additive and compatibility with other food components (Yang et al., 2009).”
Bacterially enriched diet improves sexual performance of sterile male Mediterranean fruit flies (2011, background): “Probiotic additives in animal husbandry are used mainly in aquaculture (reviewed by Gatesoupe 1999; Wang et al. 2008; Kesarcodi-Watson et al. 2008) but are also used with cattle (Jouany and Morgavi 2007), swine (Roselli et al. 2005) and poultry (Yang et al. 2009).”
Applications of Probiotics in Poultry: Enhancing Immunity and Beneficial Effects on Production Performances and Health - A Review (2011, background): “However, illegitimate and prolific use of sub-therapeutic levels of antibiotics may result in residues in poultry products and the development of drug resistant microorganisms; which calls for the use of probiotics (Dhama et al., 2008; Sabatkova et al., 2008; Yang et al., 2009).”
Probiotics and prebiotics in animal feeding for safe food production. (2010, background): “The prebiotic approach has not a long history of use in broiler chickens (Yang et al., 2009).”
Exploring alternatives to antibiotics as health promoting agents in poultry - a review. (2016, background): “Further, probiotic stimulation of the immune system exhibited higher production of immunoglobulins, stimulation macrophages and lymphocytes activity and also by augmentation of the production of γ-interferon (Yang & Choct, 2009).”
