Abstract | ||
This study sought to determine if 2 variable biological additives might reduce the negative effects of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) on growth performance, gene expression, and histopathological analysis in broilers. A total of 120 male broilers one day old divided into 4 equal groups as follows: Negative control (NC), Positive control (PC) contaminated with 1.0 mg aflatoxin B1 (AFB1)/kg feed, PC with 0.5% Bacillus amyloliquefaciens MSRY J as 1× 108 CFU / kg, and PC with 0.5% wheat bran fermented by Trichoderma longibrachiatum MSRY T. The results showed that the feed conversion ratio recorded a significant improvement in the NC group, followed by T. longibrachiatum MSRY T group compared with groups. The hazard impact of AFB1was revealed on the downregulation of important growth and immune-related genes, however, treatment with T. longibrachiatum MSRY T and B. amyloliquefaciens MSRY J seems to counteract this effect by upregulating the expression of the same genes. Other enhancement effects were recorded for meat quality (pH, cook loss, drip loss and colour parameters). Moreover, the histopathological examination displayed a mitigating effect of the used strains against AFB1 on the liver, kidney, and duodenum. These findings suggest that these biological treatments not only help in manipulating during the contamination period but also aid in recovery and efficient feed utilization afterward. Finally, it could be used as a dietary strategy to ameliorate the negative impacts of AFB1 and counteract mycotoxin-induced molecular disruptions in poultry. | ||
