Description

One hundred and twenty (day-old Cubb) chicks were equally divided into 6 groups (20 chicks per each).Group (1) kept as control negative(non treated), Group (2,5) treated with lactic acid (1% in drinking water in 1st week then decreased to 0.5 % all over the experimental period), Group( 3,6) treated with symbiotic (1x108 CFU in drinking water during entire period of rearing) Group 4, 5 and 6 were orally infected with  S. Typhimurium (Streptomycin-resistant strain) with infective dose 1X108 CFU at 4th day old. Quantitative and qualitative bacterial colonization were reduced in treated and infected groups. Poultry Star®   showed higher reduction colonization rate followed by Lactic acid compared to non-treated group. Hemaglutination-inhibition test (HI) against Newcastle disease (ND) vaccines showed an increase in the antibody titers in Poultry Star® treated groups (3, 6). Furthermore Poultry Star®was capable of enhancing performance, decreasing re-isolation rate of S. Typhimurium either from cloacal swaps and/or from (Liver and spleen). It could be conclude that Synbiotic and organic acid have great value on poultry production as growth promoter by either enhancing performance or reduction the intestinal colonization with S. Typhimurium as a model of pathogenic bacteria and improving the immune response.
