Abstract

The present study was carried out to investigate the potential ameliorative effect of two commercial anti-mycotoxins, containing Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell wall as prebiotic (T-Nil Plus®) and Bacillus subtilis as probiotic (Synertox®) on performance and some biochemical parameters of broilers. One hundred and twenty chicks one day old chicks were divided into 3 equal groups. 1st group was served as control, 2nd group was given T-Nil Plus®. The 3rd group was given Synertox®. Chicken’s performance was estimated. Serum samples obtained from each group for biochemical analysis. Tissues samples were collected for histopathological examination. The obtained results revealed that, T-Nil plus® induced a marked reduction in body weight gain and an elevation in Feed consumption, moreover, a marked elevation in, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), creatinine and malondialdehyde (MDA) and a marked reduction in aspartate aminotransferase (AST) was detected. While Synertox® caused a significant decrease in body weight, body weight gain and no change in feed conversion rate (FCR) and a marked elevation in ALT, creatinine and a marked reduction in AST and nitric oxide (NO) and it caused a significant reduction in serum glucose level of the birds. In conclusion, Synertox® induced a powerful effect comparing to T-Nil Plus®, as it induces a good FCR and increases the response of the birds against oxidative stress.
