Effect of Dietary Supplementation With Mixed Organic Acids on Immune Function, Antioxidative Characteristics, Digestive Enzymes Activity, and Intestinal Health in Broiler Chickens

Jiayu Ma et al.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the impact of dietary supplementation with mixed organic acids on intestinal health, enzyme activity, and antioxidative characteristics in broilers. Results showed that HMOA increased IgA, D-lactate, and interleukin-10 levels in broilers' serum, while LMOA enhanced total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and catalase activity (CAT) in serum, as well as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and CAT levels in the duodenum. Both LMOA and HMOA influenced the cecum microbiota by reducing Escherichia coli abundance, ultimately improving the overall health status of the broilers.

Organic Acids as Alternatives for Antibiotic Growth Promoters Alter the Intestinal Structure and Microbiota and Improve the Growth Performance in Broilers

Dong Dai et al.

Summary: The study found that organic acids (OA) can promote growth in broilers, increase jejunal goblet cell density and ileal villus height, and up-regulate mRNA expression of jejunal barrier genes. Additionally, OA altered the composition of intestinal microbiota, particularly increasing the abundance of SCFAs-producing bacteria.

Overall assessment of antibiotic substitutes for pigs: a set of meta-analyses

Bocheng Xu et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the effects of feed additives as potential antibiotic substitutes on bacteriostasis, growth performance, intestinal morphology, and immunity in livestock production. AMPs showed the best bacteriostasis effects, followed by organic acids, plant extracts, and oligosaccharides. Different feed additives had varying effects on growth performance, intestinal morphology, and immunity, with optimal doses identified for each.

Weaning differentially affects mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis in normal and low birth weight piglets

Aliny K. Novais et al.

Summary: Weaning in piglets is associated with increased risk of infections and diseases, especially impacting smaller piglets. The study revealed that weaning induces mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress, with a more severe impact on low birth weight piglets. Key genes related to cell survival and antioxidant defense were found to be highly expressed in NBW piglets, while clearance of dysfunctional mitochondria, antioxidant defenses, and inflammatory responses were compromised in LBW piglets.

Effect of organic acids-essential oils blend and oat fiber combination on broiler chicken growth performance, blood parameters, and intestinal health

Deborah Adewole et al.

Summary: The study found that the organic acidsessential oils blend has inhibitory effects on body weight gain in broiler chickens during the starter phase, while the addition of oat hulls increased gizzard weight. Furthermore, these treatments also had some positive effects on gut morphology and microbiota.

Mixed organic acids as an alternative to antibiotics improve serum biochemical parameters and intestinal health of weaned piglets

Jiayu Ma et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that MOA at certain doses could be an alternative to antibiotics as growth promoters, with positive effects on the performance, immune parameters, and intestinal health of weaned piglets. However, further research is needed to determine the optimal dosage for MOA.
