Abstract

Pentose based prebiotic xylooligosaccharides attracts greater attention around the world because it exhibits several beneficial effects to the host. Therefore, an in vivo experiment was carried out to reveal the effects of corn husks derived xylooligosaccharides in broiler chicken. The day-old broiler chickens (96; divided into 2 groups) were raised for 3 weeks on control diet or same diet supplemented with 0.5% xylooligosaccharides (XOS); derived from corn husks. In order to produce the XOS, xylan was extracted from the corn husks by alkaline extraction. The xylan was subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis at pH 5.8, temperature 44°C, enzyme dose of 5.7U/ml for 17h to yield XOS. The concentrated XOS was supplemented in the diet of broiler chicken during the entire experimental periods. Albeit, no positive influence was noticed on either the live weight or feed conversion efficiency, but 0.5% XOS supplementation resulted in to selective stimulation of Bifidobacteria, coupled with reduction in the population of Streptococci and E. coli in the caecum of broiler chicken. In line with the caecal microflora changes, blood biochemical profiling reflected reduced cholesterol, triglycerides and glucose concentration as a result of XOS supplementation. Thus, corn husks derived XOS showed positive influence on caecal microflora and blood biochemical profile in broiler chicken and could be incorporated in the diets for ensuring beneficial effects.

Abstract

In the light of restriction on use of certain feed additives like antibiotics, growth promoters etc, probiotics and prebiotics are emerging as potential alternative to improve rumen function. The present research was aimed to study the influence of probiotic and prebiotic on rumen fermentation of lambs maintained on complete feed block. Twelve growing Bannur lambs were divided into three groups with four animals in each. As a result of supplementation of probiotic and prebiotic, TCA precipitable N was significantly (P<0.05) improved with decrease in NPN fractions. Total viable bacteria population (no/ml of rumen liquor) increased from 10.67x108 to 30.67x108 in probiotic-supplemented lambs and to 18.83x108 in prebiotic supplemented lambs. Similarly, total protozoa population increased from 2.88x105 to 11.60x105 and 13.92x105 in probiotic- and prebiotic-supplemented lambs, respectively. Prebiotic supplementation has also shown to modulate rumen fermentation in lambs in comparison to probiotics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The article presents research which examined the influence of prebiotic on nutrient utilization of total mixed ration (TMR). The researchers have collected rumen liquor two hours after providing feed and water from the adult fistulated cattle. They found that inherently ragi straw has high neutral detergent fiber and low protein content just like other residues of agricultural crop.
