Lactobacillus-Enriched Zophobas morio Larvae Impact Performance, Digestibility, Immunity and Economics in Broilers.
The search for safe and effective alternatives to antibiotics in poultry production has intensified due to growing concerns over antimicrobial resistance and food safety. Postbiotics, derived from beneficial microorganisms, have emerged as promising candidates to enhance broiler health and performance. We evaluated the effects of Zophobas morio-based postbiotics on broiler chickens' growth performance, nutrient digestibility, immunity, intestinal health, and economic viability. Z. morio larvae were cultured with Lactobacillus acidophilus (3 × 10⁹ CFU/mL) in wheat bran to produce postbiotics. We used a total of 350 Ross 308 broiler chicks were allocated into five groups, with one control group and four treatment groups supplemented with 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6% or 0.8% Z. morio-based postbiotics. Treated groups exhibited significantly improved weight gain, nutrient digestibility, and apparent metabolisable energy compared to the control group. The microbial count of L. acidophilus increased significantly (p < 0.05), while pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli decreased, particularly in the 0.8% postbiotic group. Intestinal morphology, including villus length and width and crypt depth, improved in postbiotic-supplemented groups. Additionally, carcass yield and economic returns were higher in the 0.8% treatment group. Immune responses were enhanced, with higher antibody titers against Newcastle disease (ND) at 0.6% and 0.8% inclusion levels. The study concluded that Z. morio-based postbiotics at the level of 0.8% positively influenced broiler growth performance by enhancing nutrient absorption, boosting immunity, and reducing pathogenic bacteria.
期刊介绍:
As an international forum for hypothesis-driven scientific research, the Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition publishes original papers in the fields of animal physiology, biochemistry and physiology of nutrition, animal nutrition, feed technology and preservation (only when related to animal nutrition). Well-conducted scientific work that meets the technical and ethical standards is considered only on the basis of scientific rigor.
Research on farm and companion animals is preferred. Comparative work on exotic species is welcome too. Pharmacological or toxicological experiments with a direct reference to nutrition are also considered. Manuscripts on fish and other aquatic non-mammals with topics on growth or nutrition will not be accepted. Manuscripts may be rejected on the grounds that the subject is too specialized or that the contribution they make to animal physiology and nutrition is insufficient.
In addition, reviews on topics of current interest within the scope of the journal are welcome. Authors are advised to send an outline to the Editorial Office for approval prior to submission.
