Impact of Two commercial Types of Feed Supplement on Rumen Juice properties and Body Weight in Goats
Alexandria Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 2014
Non pregnant female goats (12 animals) free from internal and external parasites and kept under observation for 4 weeks before being supplemented with two different kind of feed supplement for 8 weeks. Goats of experiment were divided into 3 groups each of them consists of 4 goat. (G1): Treated with probiotic TOP 2X R with dose 1ml/liter of water, (G2): treated with another supplement which contain fibrolytic enzymes GALZYM R with dose 1ml/3liters of water and (G3): control group. Rumen juice samples were obtained weekly to observe the effect of bacterial probiotics TOP-2X R and fibrolytic enzymes Galzym R on the food digestibility of the small ruminants (goat) as well as the effect of them on some physical and biochemical properties of ruminal juice as well as body weight of treated animals and also to throw some lights on hematological parameters .Results of the study showed that using of bacterial probiotic TOP2X R as a dietary supplement is more beneficial than using of the supplement which contain fibrolytic enzymes GALZYM R. TOP2X R the bacterial probiotic enhancing body weight , protozoal count, level of T.V.F.A more than GALZYM
Influence of probiotic feed supplements on functional status of rumen
Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2019
The aim of this study was to determine how the administration of probiotic feed supplements affects selected parameters rumen environment of cattle, how it impresses the basic chemical and biological processes in the rumen, and also to check their influence on the total digestibility of feed in the cannulated cattle. For the experiment two adult cows of Aberdeen Angus breed with implanted permanent cannula were used, whom probiotics Bifidobacterium sp. were administered daily and subsequently the degradability of the organic matter was determined by the in sacco method. From the samples of rumen fluid, the amount of ammonia, volatile fatty acids, ciliates and pH were analyzed. The impact of probiotics has not been demonstrated in testing the influence of probiotics on the different variables with fixed effect of an individual. When testing the influence of probiotics without the effect of an individual, in the linear model, obtained data of acetic and butyric acid were the best. In their dependence, numbers of protozoa were increasing. However, only two experiment individuals were tested, a strong effect of the individual was found. These results indicate that the effect of probiotics Bifidobacterium sp. on the functional state of the rumen is low.

This experiment was undertaken to evaluate the potential impacts of supplementing two direct-fed microbial (DFM) products, namely Bactozyme and Ru-max, to the diet of 12 male Barki sheep (live body weight 46.6 ± 2.9 kg) on dry matter intake (DMI), apparent total tract digestibility of nutrients, nitrogen balance and rumen fermentation characteristics. The Bactozyme or Ru-max were supplemented at a rate of 1.0 g/head/day, mixed with the concentrate mixture. Animals were randomly allocated into 3 equal groups (n=4) and were subjected to the digestibility trails. The results showed that the inclusion of either products of DFM had no positive impact on DMI, but non-significantly improved the apparent total tract digestibility of dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM) and crude protein (CP). However, the Bactozyme addition increased (P<0.05) the apparent total tract digestibility of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF). The enhancement of the apparent total tract digestibility of cell wall was not significant for the two of DFM products and a non-significant improvement in cell wall digestion due to the Ru-max supplementation over the control group was found. The DFM products had positive impacts on the average of total digestible nutrients (TDN) and digestible crude protein (DCP) but non significant in comparison with the untreated animals. In addition, the nitrogen balance was improved (P>0.05) by 8 and 13% due to Ru-max and Bactozyme supplementation, respectively in comparison with the control group. The results also revealed that inclusion of DFM products had no impacts on rumen pH 3.0 and 6.0 h after feeding but Bactozyme reduced (P<0.05) the rumen pH 1.0 h after feeding compared to the control group. The inclusion of Bactozyme and Ru-max increased (P>0.05) the NH 3-N concentration in the rumen at 1.0 and 3.0 h after feeding but the Bactozyme decreased (P<0.05) the NH 3-N concentration and increased the volatile fatty acids (VFA) at 6.0 h after feeding compared to the control group. Overall, results indicated that the two DFM products had positive impacts on cell wall digestibility, which in turn improves metabolic energy supply and nutrients utilization in ruminants as well.
Effect of a Probiotic Compound in Rumen Development, Diarrhea Incidence and Weight Gain in
2011
Abstract—It has been proven that early establishment of microbial flora in digestive tract of ruminants, has a beneficial effect on their health condition and productivity. A probiotic compound, made from five bacteria isolated from adult bovine cattle, was dosed to 15 Holstein newborn calves in order to measure its capacity of improving body weight gain and reduce diarrhea incidence. The test was performed in the municipality of Cajicá (Colombia), at 2580 m.a.s.l., throughout rainy season, with environmental temperature that oscillated between 4 to 25 °C. Five calves were allotted to control (no addition of probiotic). Treatments 1, and 2 (5 calves per group) received 10 ml Probiotic mix 1 and 2, respectively. Probiotic mixes 1 and 2 where similar in microbial composition but different in production process. Probiotics were added to the morning milk and dosed on a daily basis by a month and then on a weekly basis for three additional months. Diarrhea incidence was measured by obser...
Role of probiotics in nutrition and health of small ruminants
Small ruminants represent an important economic source in small farm systems and agriculture. Feed is the main component of livestock farming, which has gained special attention to improve animal performance. Many studies have been done to improve feed utilisation through addition of feed additives. For a long period, antibiotics have been widely used as growth promoters in livestock diets. Due to their ban in many countries, search for alternative feed additives has been intensified. Probiotics are one of these alternatives recognised to be safe to the animals. Use of probiotics in small ruminant nutrition has been confirmed to improve animal health, productivity and immunity. Probiotics improved growth performance through enhancing of rumen microbial ecosystem, nutrient digestibility and feed conversion rate. Moreover, probiotics have been reported to stabilise rumen pH, increase volatile fatty acids production and to stimulate lactic acid utilising protozoa, resulting in a highly efficient rumen function. Furthermore, use of probiotics has been found to increase milk production and can reduce incidence of neonatal diarrhea and mortality. However, actual mechanisms through which probiotics exert these functions are not known. Since research on application of probiotics in small ruminants is scarce, the present review attempts to discuss the potential roles of this class of feed additives on productive performance and health status of these animals.

Probiotics were added to the morning milk and dosed on a daily basis by a month and then on a weekly basis for three additional months. Diarrhea incidence was measured by observance of number of animals affected in each group; each animal was weighed up on a daily basis for obtaining weight gain and rumen fluid samples were extracted with oro-esophageal catheter for determining level of fiber and grain consumption.
In-Vitro Evaluation of Probiotic Bacteria Supplementation to Ruminant Rations
Arab Universities Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2019
The aim of this study was to evaluate effect of different level of probiotic supplementation to ruminant rations, using in-vitro batch culture technique to determine degradation and fermentation parameters. In vitro experimental ration was formulated, the ration consisted of 40% alfalfa hay and 60% concentrate feed mixture. Three level of probiotic supplementation (10 6 , 10 8 , 10 10 cfu/kg DM) were probiotics bacteria supplementation to experimental ration resulted increase DM and OM degradability and using dose 10 6 CFU/kg DM feed is sufficient to induce improvement in degradability and fermentation parameters.
EFFECT OF FEEDING PROBIOTICS ON THE GROWTH PERFORMANCE AND FEED CONVERSION EFFICIENCY IN GOAT*
An attempt was made to study the effect of supplementation of Lactobacillus acidophillus and Saccharomyces cerevisiac individually and combination of both to feed, on growth performance and feed conversion efficiency in goats. Sixteen of similar age and body weight were randomly allotted to four treatments viz, T0 : concentrate (without probiotics), T1 : 2gm Lactobacillus acidophillus per kg feed, T2: 2gm Saccharomyces Cerevisiac per kg feed, and T3 : mixture of 1g Lactobacillus acidophillus + 1g Saccharomyces cerevisiac per kg feed was fed to the Osmanabadi goats. Observations on the body weight gain showed the significant (P<0.05) differences among the treatments means. The kids fed under treatment T3 showed higher average daily weight gain (88 gm) over the other treatments, whereas the lowest average daily weight gain was recorded under treatment T0 i.e. control group (26 gm). The mixture of probiotics (T3) was found most effective in reducing the feed requirement, which was only 2.96 kg of weight gain. It is concluded that the use of probiotics either single or in combination was useful for higher weight gain in goats.
Twenty four lactating Zaraibi goats in mid lactation were used in a 2 x 2 factorial experimental design to evaluate two different sources of ruminally degradable non structural carbohydrates (high and low RDNSC) and two different sources of ruminally degradable protein (high and low RDP). Four experimental diets were formulated to study their effects on digestion coefficients, some blood constituents and milk production and its composition. The obtained results indicated that digestibility coefficients for DM, OM, CP and NFE and the nutritive value in terms of TDN and DCP% were significantly (P<0.05) higher for goats received low RDP and high RDNSC diets than those received high RDP and low RDNSC diets. The concentration of plasma urea-N was decreased (P<0.05) when goats were fed low RDP diets than those fed high RDP ones, whereas the concentrations of total protein, albumin and globulin were increased indicating once more better utilization of low RDP. Regardless the RDP, plasma urea-N was significantly (P<0.05) lower in goats fed high RDNSC diets than in those fed low RDNSC diets. Yields of milk, 4% fat-corrected milk (4%-FCM) and milk components were higher (P<0.05) when goats fed low RDP diets than those fed high RDP ones. Milk non-protein-nitrogen (NPN) was lower (P<0.05) with low RDP diets. On the other hand, yield of true protein nitrogen, casein nitrogen, whey nitrogen and unsaturated fatty acids in milk were higher (P<0.05) with goats fed low RDP than those fed high RDP. Regardless the RDP content of the tested diets, a slight improvement in milk yield and 4%-FCM detected for goats given high RDNSC diets compared to those given low RDNSC ones without significant differences. Goats received low RDP with high RDNSC (diet 4) were higher and more persistent for milk yield during the experimental period. On the other hand goats received diets contained high RDP with high RDNSC produced the lowest milk yield.
A Review on the Consumption of Probiotics in Feeding.pdf
Appro Poult Dairy & Vet Sci, 2017
Probiotics, live cells with different beneficial characteristics have been extensively studied and explored commercially in many different products in the world. Their benefits to young ruminants have been supported in hundreds of scientific papers. Enhance the development of the adult rumen microflora, improve digestion and nitrogen flow towards lower digestive tract, and improve meat and milk production. Because of higher profit margin in intensive small ruminant production, farmers are shifting from tradition to high input feeding systems. In order to harvest, real benefits from small ruminants which are raised on nutrient rich diet, feed additives like probiotics are used to enhance the efficiency of nutrient utilization in growing ruminants. The more feed an animal consumes each day, the greater will be the opportunity for increasing its daily production. Probiotic supplementation has been found to increase feed intake and is known to influence the performance of ruminants. Probiotics in a healthy animal stimulate non-specific immune response and enhance the system of immune protection. The probiotics that enhance immunoglobulin levels have more positive effect on growth performance, production and ability to resist disease. Therefore, this review briefly elaborates the effects of probiotics feeding on health and growth performance of young ruminants.
