Antibiotic treatment has led to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains, encouraging the search for alternative and safe measures to effectively control these diseases. Honeybee gut microbiomes have proven effects on all spectra of honeybee health by enhancing resistance to several diseases via immune modulation and the production of different antimicrobial metabolites. The major part of the gut microbiota is identified as probiotic bacteria, which are live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer health benefits to the host. Probiotics have shown promising health benefits for honeybees. Honeybee gut probiotics provide protection via the production of different metabolites (postbiotics), such as hydrogen peroxide, vitamins, organic acids, free fatty acids, bacteriocins, neurotransmitters, secreted bio-surfactants, and reactive oxygen species. Vast numbers of these gut bacteria and their postbiotics have wide-spectrum antibacterial effects on AFB and EFB. This review highlights the significance of the honeybee gut microbial community, its probiotic potency, and the role of postbiotic metabolites as safe prophylactic measures for preventing AFB and EFB diseases in honeybees.</p>","PeriodicalId":23989,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Research Forum","volume":"16 10","pages":"545-555"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12588269/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145460145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study used three different cage densities as low (5 hens <i>per</i> cage), normal (seven hens <i>per</i> cage) and high (10 hens <i>per</i> cage) including 396 hens as 198 Hy-Line Brown (HB) and 198 Isa Tinted (IT). The feeding of chickens was <i>ad libitum</i> (20 - 60 weeks). At the end of the study, a total number of 54 chickens (27 HB and 27 IT) were slaughtered. Some chemical and microbiological analyses were carried out by separating the drumstick and breast area of the slaughtered chickens. According to the results of the research, the redness and yellowness values of the breast area were higher in the ITs. The effect of cage density was significant only for yellowness in the drumstick area. The effects of storage time, lightness and yellowness in the drumstick area and lightness value in the breast area were found to be significant. Bacterial density and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances values of both breast and drumstick regions of spent hens were higher in HBs, while pH values were higher in ITs. The bacterial density in the meat was increased during the storage period. In conclusion, cage density, genotype and storage time affected the microbiological and chemical quality of spent chicken meat. With this result, it can be said that meat quality studies, which mostly focus on broilers, are also important in spent hens.</p>","PeriodicalId":23989,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Research Forum","volume":"16 2","pages":"71-79"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11910977/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143650815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
