In-ovo injection of Bacillus subtilis, raffinose, and their combinations enhances hatchability, gut health, nutrient transport- and intestinal function-related genes, and early development of broiler chicks

mycolabadmin

Researchers injected newly developing chicken eggs with beneficial bacteria (Bacillus subtilis) and a prebiotic substance (raffinose) to improve chick health. The treatment enhanced egg hatchability, improved chick weight, reduced harmful bacteria in the gut, and strengthened intestinal function. This approach shows promise as a natural alternative to antibiotics in poultry farming.

Effects of dietary Fibrafid as phytogenic supplementation in standard and nutrient-reduced diets on breast meat quality, carcass traits, histopathology, and feed efficiency in heat-stressed broilers

mycolabadmin

This research tested a plant-based feed additive called Fibrafid in broiler chickens raised in hot conditions. When included at 0.25% in their diet, Fibrafid improved meat quality by increasing its ability to retain moisture and enhancing tenderness, while also supporting growth even when using lower-nutrition diets. The additive maintained healthy intestines and improved feed efficiency, offering a practical and sustainable solution for poultry farmers in hot climates.

Winning the battle of intestinal peace with Bacillus—a multifaceted approach to animal health, immunity, and future applications in monogastric livestock production

mycolabadmin

This review examines how Bacillus bacteria, when added to animal feed, can improve the health and growth of chickens and pigs. These bacteria work by producing beneficial compounds that strengthen the gut, improve digestion, reduce harmful bacteria, and boost the immune system. Bacillus probiotics offer a natural alternative to antibiotics, helping reduce antibiotic resistance while keeping animals healthier and more productive.
