Effects of Yeast Culture in Broiler Diets on Performance and Immunomodulatory Functions
TL;DR: Results of this study indicate that dietary supplemental YC at 2.5 g/kg improved growth performance and immune functions, digestibility of Ca and P, and intestinal mucosal morphology of broilers could be modified with dietary YC supplementation.

Prebiotics Modulate Immune Responses in the Gut-Associated Lymphoid Tissue of Chickens
Vijaya Janardhana,Mary M. Broadway,Matthew Bruce,John W. Lowenthal,Mark S. Geier,Robert J. Hughes,Andrew G. D. Bean +6 more
TL;DR: Comparison of the experimental groups with controls revealed that the addition of prebiotics to diet resulted in a significant reduction in the proportion of B cells and in mitogen responsiveness of lymphocytes in CT, emphasizing the need for the analyses of the gut immune function following treatment with novel feed additives.

Use of yeast cell walls; β-1, 3/1, 6-glucans; and mannoproteins in broiler chicken diets
TL;DR: Data of these studies suggested that the changes in thymus and liver relative weights and villus morphology of broilers were induced with the same intensity by the use of complete YCW, MP + BG, and BG supplements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of dietary AflaDetox on performance, serum biochemistry, histopathological changes, and aflatoxin residues in broilers exposed to aflatoxin B1
TL;DR: Results showed that addition of AflaDetox may reduce the adverse effects produced by the presence of aflatoxin B(1) in broiler chickens diets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance, egg quality, and immune response of laying hens fed diets supplemented with mannan-oligosaccharide or an essential oil mixture under moderate and hot environmental conditions
TL;DR: Neither MOS nor EOM was efficacious in improving efficiency of egg production and stimulating humoral immune response in laying hens reared under moderate and hot climatic conditions, but the ameliorative effect exerted by MOS and EOM on eggshell characteristics is conclusive.

Fulvio Ursini,Sabina Heim,Michael Kiess,Matilde Maiorino,Antonella Roveri,Josef Wissing,Leopold Flohé +6 more
TL;DR: The role of PHGPx as a structural protein may explain the mechanical instability of the mitochondrial midpiece that is observed in selenium deficiency.
