Probiotic Supplementation in Broiler Diets: Effects on Growth Performance, Gut Microbiota and Feed Efficiency

Union: Probiotics represent the most extensively investigated strategy for maintaining broiler performance under antibiotic-free conditions. The present study aimed to quantify the effects of dietary probiotic supplementation on body weight gain, average daily gain (ADG), feed conversion ratio (FCR), feed intake, intestinal morphology, gut microbiota composition, and short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production in broiler chickens.

Canine Mammary Tumors: A Study on 12 Clinical Cases

Canine mammary tumors (CMTs) are the most prevalent neoplasms in female dogs, posing a substantial threat to their overall health and quality of life. The present study aimed to investigate the incidence, characteristics, and staging of canine mammary tumors in bitches presented to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, University of Jos, Nigeria.

Avian haemoparasites pose significant threats to poultry health and productivity. While microscopy is traditionally used for parasite identification, molecular methods, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), offer enhanced sensitivity and specificity. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of haemoparasites in poultry species in Ibadan, Nigeria, and to compare the diagnostic performance of microscopy and nested PCR for detection and identification.

Materials and methods: A total of 150 male Anak 2000, one-day-old broiler chickens, weighing 37 grams, were assigned to five treatments in a completely randomized design, with three replicates of ten chickens in each replicate. All chickens were provided with basal starter and finisher diets for eight weeks. The control group (T1) received Doxygen at a dosage of 150 g/200 L of water. The second group (T2) was administered 25 mL of cold aqueous leaf extract of J. tanjorensis (CALEJ) in 100 L of drinking water, while the third group (T3) received 50 mL of CALEJ/100 L of drinking water. The fourth group (T4) was given 75 mL of CALEJ/100 L of water, and the fifth group (T5) received 100 mL of CALEJ/100 L of water. Daily fecal samples were pooled and analyzed for apparent digestibility, while fresh blood samples were collected at the end of the experiment and analyzed for lipid profile. The present study lasted for 10 weeks.
