Introduction

 

Probiotics were initially added to the feed for enhancing animal productivity and improve their health, resulting in increased disease resistance. The inhibitory activity of probiotic against gut infections is due to metabolites such as hydrogen peroxide, organic acids and other inhibitory substances such as bacteriocins produced by probiotic bacteria (1,2). Moreover, supplementation of probiotic enhances immune system and inhibite pathogens (3). Probiotic "Vetlactoflorum-M" can use for reducing the infection of birds with pathogenic microflora, including salmonella, by 20.0% (4). The use of probiotics to enhance productivity in poultry is currently of great interest. Probiotics and prebiotics may improve health by stimulating production of antibody (5). Researchers showed that probiotics in feed and water have a therapeutic and prophylactic effect. The growth-stimulating effect was also noted. In the same way, the feed conversion coefficient when antibiotics were added to the feed and the use of probiotics in feed and water was significantly better in the birds of the experimental groups than in the control group (6). Furthermore, probiotic effect positively on heamotological, biochemical and immunological parameters of blood in broiler-chickens (7-9), additionaly it improves meat quality (10), natural resistance (11) and productivity of broiler-chickens (12). The number of E. coli decreased in chickens treated aerosolly with Enterococcus faecium also E. coli in turkeys decreased when they received the Enterococcus faecium strain with drinking water once a week (13). Both monoprobiotics and a combination of probiotics with organic acids, when added to rations, reduce the number of pathogenic bacteria in the ileum and cecum (14).

Our study aimed to estimate the effectiveness of the use of the probiotic Batcinel-K® and vaccine against salmonellosis CEVAC SET K® on broiler chickens. The following tasks were set for us, to study the effect of the preparation on natural resistance of organism on broiler chickens.

 

Materials and methods

 

In the current experiment have been studied the prophylactic effectiveness of the Batcinel-K®, the effect of this probiotic preparation and CEVAC SET K® were studied, an inactivated avian salmonellosis vaccine made from formalin-inactivated cultures of the strains Salmonalla typhimurium and Salmonalla enteritidis, for the natural resistance in broiler chickens.

Batcinel-K® is liquid preparation of spore-forming bacteria Bacillus subtilus BIM- B 454 D. Probiotic prepared by the staff of Institute of Experimental Veterinary Medicine named S.N. Vysheleskovo and Institute of Microbiology of the Belarusian National Academy of Science. We purchased 300 chicks of Ross-308 from Vitebsk Broiler chickens farm in Belarus and divided them into 6 groups of 50 birds each one (M = 40g), chicks reared on litter and fed ad libitum.

In laboratory conditions, we studied the effect of the biologically active supplement probiotic Batcinel-K® on some physiological indexes on the organism of birds with an optimal dose of the drug. Randomly the chicks (of both sexes) were divided into six groups; first group broilers of the 1st control group were fed only standard full feed. Seond group broiler chickens of the 2nd experimental group were supplied only a probiotic Batcinel-K® with drinking water at a dose of 0.1-0.2 cm3/bird starting at one-day-old for 5 days daily, in 9 cycles with an interval of 7-10 days until the end of the experiment. Third experimental group vaccinated only by inactivated CEVAC SET K® vaccine against avian salmonellosis at the 7th week once subcutaneously in the upper third region of the neck at the dose of 0.5 cm3 and revaccinating on 14th week of age subcutaneously in the region of the upper third of the neck at 0.5 cm3. Fouth experimental group starting from a day old, supplemented with probiotic Batcinel-K® for 5 days daily, until the 5th week of age with drinking water in a dose of 0.1-0.2 cm3/bird in 4 cycles with an interval of 7-10 days. Probiotic Batcinel-K® was added to drinking water from the 6th week in a dose of 0.2 cm3 /bird once daily for 5 days, (a week before the 1st vaccination). In the 7th week, birds were vaccinated subcutaneously in the upper third of the neck at a dose of 0.5 cm3 by the first vaccination. From 13 until 14 weeks of age, a probiotic Batcinel-K® was added to drinking water at a dose of 0.3 cm3/bird within 5 days daily (5 days before revaccination). At 14th week of age 2nd vaccination (revaccination) subcutaneously in the upper third of the neck at a dose of 0.5 cm3. Fifth experimental group, starting from one-day old until 5 weeks of age, were supplied with a probiotic Batcinel-K® with drinking water at a dose of 0.1-0.2 cm3/bird/day during 5 days daily in 4 cycles with an interval of 7-10 days. From 6th week of age, probiotic Batcinel-K® was added in a dose of 0.2 cm3/bird/day for 3 days (a week before the 1st vaccination). On the 7th week, 1-st vaccination is applied in the upper third region of the neck subcutaneously, at a dose of 0.5 cm3. From the 7th until the 13th week of age, probiotic Batcinel-K® was added at a dose of 0.3 cm3/bird/day for 3 days with an interval of 7-10 days. 2nd vaccination (revaccination) was applied at the 14th week, subcutaneously in the upper third region of the neck at a dose of 0.5 cm3. Sixth experimental group, starting from a day old to 3 weeks old supplied a probiotic Batcinel-K® daily with drinking water at a dose of 0.1-0.2 cm3/bird during 5 days in 2 cycles with an interval of 7 days. On the 4th week, probiotic was added in a dose of 0.2 cm3/bird/day for 2 days (a week before the 1st vaccination). On the 7th week, 1-st vaccination was applied subcutaneously in the upper third region of the neck at a dose of 0.5 cm3. From 7th until the 13th week, probiotic was added at a dose of 0.3 cm3/bird/day for 2 days with an interval of 7-10 days. At 14th week, 2-nd vaccination was applied subcutaneously in the upper third region of the neck at a dose of 0.5 cm3.

To study haematological parameters, blood was taken at 56th, 63rd and 112nd days old. Day-old broiler chickens had standard biochemical parameters. Blood was carried out according to (26). The blood was obtained by decapitation and from the heart and axillary vein in compliance with aseptic and antiseptic rules in two sterile tubes at 56th, 63rd and 112nd days old (26). In one of them, the blood was stabilized with trilon B anticoagulant (disodium EDTA - ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) at the rate of 0.1-0.2 ml of a 10% solution per 10 ml of blood, the other was used to obtain serum. Blood serum was obtained after blood coagulation at a temperature from 18-20ºC, followed by centrifugation at 1500 rpm for 10-15 min. To accelerate the separation of serum, coagulated blood was separated from the walls of the tube with stainless steel spoke and placed in a thermostat at a temperature of from 37ºC to 38ºC for 45-60 min (15).

The count of erythrocytes and leukocytes was calculated in the Goryaev chamber, the haemoglobin content was determined by a unified colourimetric method using a KFK-ZOM photoelectrocolorimeter, Russia. The leukogram was displayed based on counting 100 cells in blood smears stained according to Pappenheim.

The total serum protein was determined by the biuret method on an Eurolyser automatic biochemical analyzer (spectrophotometer- SF 2000-M) using reagents from the Cormany kit (Poland), the protein content was expressed in g/l. according to (17). The determination of serum albumin concentration was determined by a unified method by reaction with bromocresol green. The content of albumin and globulins was expressed in g/l. Studies of the indicated parameters of blood serum were carried out on a Eurolyser biochemical analyzer using diagnostic kits from Cormany (Poland) at laboratories of Vitebsk State academy of Veterinary Medicine (16,17).

The digital material of experimental studies is subjected to mathematical and statistical processing on a personal computer by methods of variation statistics. The arithmetic means of each variational series, standard deviations of the average, degree of probability of the null hypothesis are determined in comparison with the control by calculating the Student-Fisher criterion. At P<0.05, the difference in the arithmetic mean of the compared variation series was considered significant (18,19).

At 56, 63 and 112 day of old in broiler chickens, the globulin levels in the experimental groups were higher than the control value. So, on the 7th day after the 1st vaccination, the level of globulins in the 2nd experimental group was higher by 24.49% (P<0.05), on the 4th - by 46.66%; in the 5th - by 39.80%; in the 6th - by 36.15% (P<0.001).

At 63 day of old, the globulin levels in the 4th experimental group were higher 48.05%; in the 5th - by 42.26%; in the 6th - by 39.25% (P<0.01). At 112 day of old, in the 4th experimental group, globulin content was higher by 34.21% (P<0.001), in the 2nd - by 5.01%; in the 3rd - by 5.26% (P<0.05), in the 5th - by 18.02%; in the 6th - by 15.84% (P<0.01).

At the 112th day, total protein levels in the 4th group to the end of the experiment was higher than in control group to 8.1% (P<0.05) in the 5th group by 3.96% (P<0.01). The concentration of albumin was higher relative to the control group. Similarly, results of globulins were higher than the control group. In the 63rd day of broilers chicken, globulin content was as high by 2.97% (P<0.01) and 5.19% (P<0.05) in 5th and 4th treatment groups compared to the control group, respectively (Table 2).

In chickens of all groups observed a decrease of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity. In the 14th day after the 1st vaccination of broiler chickens, the aspartate aminotransferase (AST) level in the 2nd group was lower than the control group - by 11.90% (P<0.05), also there was a decrease on the aminotransferase enzymes level AST, ALT in the serum at 112 day of old of experimental chickens (Table 3), the content of AST in the 2nd group was lower than in the control group - by 10.08%; 3rd - by 7.98% (P<0.05), 4th - by 13.67% (P<0.01), 5th - by 11.78%; 6th - by 11.04% (P<0.05) (Table 3).

Throughout the observation period, there is increasing activity of aminotransferase enzymes in the blood serum of experimental chickens was noted (Table 3).

Discussion

 

Increased heamoglobine and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCHb) values might be due to the probiotics which might have enhanced haematopoiesis. Onifade et al. observed improved Hb and MCHb concentration in the animals fed diets containing probiotics (20). Enhanced leukocyte might be due to the production of more immune cells (21) that play a vital role in protecting against infectious agents (22). Furthermore, Paryad and Mahmoudi reported higher level of leukocyte in animals fed variant concentrations of probiotics than those fed diets without probiotics (23).

The importance of using probiotics includes increasing survival ratio in birds, enhancing the immune response, reducing gastro-intestinal upsets, increasing growth rates, and improving feeding efficiency. The use of probiotics from Lactobacillus spp., Yeast, etc. a lot of attention goes away. Adding these substances to feed improves feed utilization (24,25).

Nahanshon et al. found that the addition of Lactobacillus in laying hens increases the saturation with cells of Peyer's plaques in the ileum, indicating a stimulation of the mucosal immune system that responds to antigenic excitation and releases immunoglobulin (IgA) (26). According to many scientists, probiotics improve the immune response in birds, increase the effectiveness of vaccinations as well as digestion (27). The liver plays an important role in metabolic processes, so, AST and ALT are indicators for normal liver function. Metabolic activity of the liver is essential for normal cell functioning.

The results show that the probiotic Batcinel-K® throughout the entire growing cycle has a positive effect on the natural resistance of the blood serum of broiler chickens. However, results of another studies show that probiotic supplementation to fish ration under heat stress significantly improve some of hematological indexes of experimental groups compared to control (28). Moreover, feed addatives can decrease effect of heat stress in broiler-chickens (29). A high level of aspartate aminotransferase indicates an increase in the synthesis of oxalacetic acid, which is necessary for energy production. The activity of alanine aminotransferase in the blood serum of chickens of all groups did not exceed the normal values.

Probiotic Bacteria showed an inhibitory effect against Salmonella sp. (30). However, using of probiotics possess positive effect against infection with hydatid disease in mice, so may be applied as an alternative method against various parasitic infestation (31). Addition of organic acid and essential oil to bird ration with different doses enhanced growth performance and intestinal histomorphology as well as hypocholesterolemia effects and could be used as growth promoters (32).

 

Conclusion

 

Blood test results in chickens show that the probiotic Batcinel-K® during the entire rearing cycle has a positive effect on the biochemical parameters of blood serum. However, the most pronounced changes were observed in the experimental groups, supplemented with probiotic Batcinel-K® with the inactivated vaccine CEVAC SET K® against avian salmonellosis.

Article Highlights

During rearing period, there are increment in haemoglobin, count of erythrocytes and leukocytes, especially in the 4th, in the 5th and the 6th groups. Furthermore, the indexes refer to many enhancements in the content of protein in the experimental groups 2, 4, 5 and 6. However, level of albumin in the birds of the treatment groups was higher concerning the control. Anyhow, at 56, 63 and 112 day of old in chickens, the globulin levels in the experimental groups were higher than the control.

In chickens of all groups showed reduce in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity. Throughout the observation period, there is improving activity of aminotransferase enzymes in the blood serum of experimental groups was observed.
