Effect of probiotic on GUT development of domestic fowls

Abstract: This experiment was conducted to study the effects of effective microorganisms (EM) and Zinc bacitracin on gut development, digestibility coefficient of nutrients and intestinal histology of lnshas chicken (a local Egyptian chicken strain) . Five hundred and fourty chicks were randomly assigned to 1 to 6 dietary treatments for 41 wk. The dietary treatments were 1) control; 2) Basal diet + EM (2.5ml/kg diet ); T3) Basal diet + EM (5.0 ml/kg diet );T4) basal diet + EM (7.5 ml/kg diet ); T5) basal diet + 10ml/kg diet) and T6) Basal diet + Zinc bactracin (500kg). The obtained results showed that, villi height, villi thickness and villi surface area were significantly increased in birds fed EM with different levels and Zinc bactracin diets. The data on the digestibility coefficient of nutrients revealed that, all nutrients of EM diets were more efficiently digested than that of Zinc bactracin diet (p<0.01). While, digestibility coefficient of OM, DM, CP, EE, CF and NFE was significantly increased as compared with chicks kept on the control diet.
Moreover, It was generally noticed that intestinal histology was almost following the same trend observed with gut development and digestibility coefficient.
