A total of 180 one-day-old Arbor Acres (initial body weight of 37.51±0.17 g) were used for 28 d. Treatments were as follows: basal rice husk + 10 mL tap water (AN0), basal rice husk + 2% AN extract soluble (AN2; 0.2 g/mL), basal rice husk + 4% AN extract soluble (AN4; 0.4 g/mL). Each treatment had five replicates, with twelve birds per pen. At 0 to 2 weeks, the AN0 and AN2 significantly increased the feed intake (FI) compared with the AN4. There was no significant difference (<i>P</i>>0.05) in litter moisture during the experiment period. However, at week 4, the AN0 significantly increased (<i>P</i><0.05) litter pH compared with the AN2 and AN4. At 3 and 4 weeks, the counts of <i>Salmonella</i> in the litter were significantly higher (<i>P</i><0.05) in the AN0 compared with the AN2 and AN4. Also, the AN4 showed significantly lower (<i>P</i><0.05) counts of <i>Salmonella</i> compared with the AN0 and AN4. Moreover, at 4 weeks, the AN0 showed significantly higher (<i>P</i><0.05) counts of <i>E. coli</i> compared with the AN4. Also, AN4 showed significantly decreased (<i>P</i><0.05) FPD scores compared with the AN0. Therefore, the result of this study could support the possibilities of AN extract in litter to alleviate the FPD.","PeriodicalId":17845,"journal":{"name":"Korean Journal of Poultry Science","volume":"51 4","pages":"179-186"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ekjps.org/download/download_pdf?pid=kjps-51-4-179","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147887023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The percentage of illite and zeolite was calculated on a weight of litter. Each treatment had four replicates, with 12 birds per pen. Each pen was provided with 5 kg of rice husk as litter. Litter moisture content was significantly decreased (<i>P</i><0.05) in the T1, T2, and T3 groups compared to CON group at week 4. In litter nitrogen, the T1 group showed significantly lower (<i>P</i><0.05) litter nitrogen content than the other groups at weeks 1, 2, and 3. Also, the T3 group showed a significantly lower (<i>P</i><0.05) litter nitrogen content than the CON and T2 groups at weeks 2 and 3.

Immediately after 28-d feeding trial, 6 birds having average body weight per group were sacrificed for evaluating the effects of probiotics on antioxidant parameters in the serum, intestine, and liver of birds. As results, serum biochemical parameters of nitrogen components including total protein, albumin, urea nitrogen, and glutathione were unaffected by dietary probiotics. In addition, serum superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and glutathione S-transferase (GST) activities, and lipid peroxidation (MDA) were not changed by dietary probiotic supplement in birds. In the intestinal mucosa, SOD activity in the HPB group significantly ( P <0.05) increased compared with that in the CON and the LPB groups. Lipid peroxidation in the HPB group significantly ( P <0.05) decreased compared with that in the CON group. However, there was no statistical difference in GPX, and GST activities in the intestinal mucosa among treatment groups. In the liver, the activities of SOD, GPX, and GST, and the level of MDA were unaffected by probiotic supplement. In conclusion, 0.5% of probiotics significantly increased SOD activity and decreased lipid peroxidation in the intestinal mucosa, suggesting that probiotic complex could be potential to improve the small intestinal antioxidant capacity of bird under high ambient temperature conditions.","PeriodicalId":17845,"journal":{"name":"Korean Journal of Poultry Science","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87774923","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
