Role Acidifiers, Prebiotics, Probiotics in Poultry Gut Health
and Feed Sanitizer
Importance of Gut – Barrier to ingested chemicals, feed contaminants and pathogens
– Absorption of nutrients and water
– Components: physical, chemical, immunological and
microbiological
– Intestine is the largest immune organ
– Gut microbes perform functions such as:
» nutrient digestion and absorption
» gut health and integrity
» competitive exclusion of pathogens
» immunomodulation

Organic acids
• Organic acids are built on a carbon skeleton, known as carboxylic acids–COOH , which can alter the physiology of bacteria, causing metabolic disorders that prevent proliferation and death.
• e.g Formic acid, Propionic acid,Lactic acid etc
Acidifiers
• Acidifier products are either single weak acids or a mixture of several different weak acids. Multi-acid products are combinations of two or more acids.
• Multi-acid products decreases pH more effectively without the negative impacts of odour and taste associated with using large quantities of a single acid

Cont
• *pKa value (acid dissociation constant): Is a quantitative measure of an acid in solution, smaller the pKa value, stronger the acid.
• The bactericidal effect of the organic acids is: benzoic acid > fumaric acid > lactic acid > butyric acid > formic acid > propionic acid
• Propinoic acid is known for its Mold inhibition activity in feed
Combination of organic acids- for better Efficacy
• Each acids having its own specific range of efficacy
• Incorporating different acids, there is a broader spectrum of activity and the product is considerably more effective

What is the B-value?
• The binding capacity (B-value) indicates the amount of acid
needed to lower the pH of a feed to a certain value.
Raw material B-value?
• Protein sources (soybean meal, fish meal) generally have
relatively medium buffering capacities
• Whereas cereals (wheat, barley, maize) have low B-values.
• Premixes show high B-values mainly because calcium
carbonate (CaCO3) is used as a carrier.
Lowering pH in feed leads to lowering buffer capacity in gut and promotes digestion in birds as less HCL has to be produced in stomach to activate pepsin
and thus, protein digestion.

• Dissociation of Organic acids results in synthesis of hormone secretin which stimulates Pancreatic enzymes
• Pancreatic enzyme stimulates/ responsible for digestion process
• Activation of enzyme Pepsin results in improved protein digestion & Optimum Nutrients absorption better Growth of Lactobacilli
• Improves digestibility of Proteins & Amino acids and reduction in ammonia & Bio-genic amines
• Increases Growth of the Gastro-intestinal mucosa.• Improvement in Microbial Phytase activity • Phytic acid is much more soluble at lower pH
• These effects combine to give an improvement in Phosphorous digestibility .
Improves Digestion and Phytase activity
Production of toxic polyamines and ammonia
As a result of the inefficient/incomplete digestion of
dietary protein changes in the intermediary
metabolism of the animal may also occur,
Excessive amino acids are being converted into
polyamines and ammonia.
All such chemicals are dangerous to bird as well as
nutritive value of feed.

Butyric Acid
• Carboxylic acid with structural formula CH3-CH2-CH2-COOH
• Important member of fatty acid subgroup called short chain fatty acid
• It is present in milk specially of goat, sheep & buffalo
• Butyric acid is the natural product of bacterial fermentation of carbohydrates in the intestine of monogastrics or rumen of the ruminants
• It has a unpleasant smell and acrid taste
• Butyric acid is present in human vomit which is the main cause of distinctive smell
• However butyric acid is volatile and corrosive, so in practical use we must use it in salt like sodium butyrate
Why it is coated ?
Uncoated butyrate is directly available and will immediately be absorbed in the first part of digestive tract.
Majority of the pathogenic bacteria like Salmonell, Clostridia,Campylobacter etc.have habitat in distal part of gut. So it is necessary that butyrate reaches there to act on the pathogens.
To avoid the strong odorTo avoid from moisture absorption and cakingTo avoid from decomposition and volatilize during course of production

Reduces the potential for pathogens
Help to increase
immunity
Help to reduce loose
droppings
Small finger like projection that form the epithelial lining of intestinal wall
Intestinal villi increases the internal surface area of the intestinal wall making available greater surface area for absorption
Increase surface area decreases the travel distance by nutrient molecule so effectiveness of diffusion increases
The villi are connected to the blood vessels so the circulating blood then carries the nutrients to target place
Intestinal Villi

Stress on intestinal villi
Normal intestinal villi
During a coccidiosis infectionwith Eimeria maxima, thevilli become shortened andthe villi tips are eroded –reducing gut surface area. Ifvilli have developed properly,the impact of coccidiosis willbe less due to proper villidevelopment
Role of ButyGAURD to combat in Intestinal Coccidiosis
Prebiotic
• A prebiotic is a non-digestible additive often consisting of natural dietary fibers such as fructooligsaccharides (FOS) that stimulate the growth and activity of beneficial bacteria in the colon, for better health.

Probiotics
Probiotics are live microorganisms intended to provide health benefits when consumed, generally by improving or restoring the gut flora.
The most frequently used organisms for probiotic preparations are:Bacillus subtilisLactic acid bacteria (LAB)Live yeast(SC,SB)

Mode of actions
3. Maintain epithelial integrity and barrier function
2. Improved immune status: production of antibacterial defensins and mucin
1. Competitive exclusion of pathogens
4. Nutritional effects: • Production of enzymes• Production of vitamin B12 and K
Feed Mill Sanitization
• We need to understand the fact that the feed is passing through a biological tube "the digestive tract" of the animal, besides offering necessary nutrients it should not introduce any infection or toxic agents in to the system.
• The microbial growth and contamination of feed is the prime concern in the Animal feed.
• Therefore all the efforts need to be made in minimizing microbial contamination in feed mill. detailed guidelines have been formulated to control salmonella contamination in poultry by cooperative extension service of University of Florida.
The strategic points of feed and mill sanitation depends on:
• a. Feed mill design
• b. Selection of raw materials
• c. Storage of raw materials
• d. Feed milling technology
• e. Feed mill management
• f. Storage of processed material
• g. Transport of finished product to farm (bulk and bags)
• h. Rodent control

The following points can be considered for feed mill sanitation or biosecurity.
• 1. Maintain proper records for purchase of ingredients and other materials.
• * Date of the receipt or purchase or sale or delivery.
• Name and address of the seller ·
• Name and address of the consignee
• Identification of the product
• Quantity
• Laboratory analytical report.
1. Keep each area of the mill dust free.
2. Check the ceiling area for any leakage.
3. Fill all the crakes, crevices and corners with element to prevent pests.
4. Floors of the mill should be smooth but not slippery for effective dusting, cleaning or mopping.
Continue…..5. Used gunnies should not be stored in the premises. They need to be fumigated and sold. Avoid used gunnies to store and transport.
6. Remove all unused stocks from storage area, broom down all the walls and the floor. Mop the floor area with 4% moisture (mix-A) of formaldehyde (7.5%) glutraldehyde (7.5%) and Benzalkonim chloride (5%). This solution act as bactericidal, veridical and fungicidal (solution-A).
7. Clean all equipments, scrape all critical points where feed particles are accumulated. Dust the inner areas and wipe with a cloth soaked in a mixture (mix-B) of glutraldehyde (12.5%) Benzalkonim chloride (7.5%) and nonionic detergents. It acts as cleanser and disinfectant. This need to be done periodically once in a mouth.
Continue…..
• 8. Spray the entire area of the feed mill including roof and walls once a week with solution A(mix-A) @ 1 litre/1000 CFT area.
• 9. Wet fumigation should be carried out once a month during maintenance.

Continue….
• Unloading pits should be free of any visual signs of previous ingredients. Pits cab/Feed mill machine is flushed with small amounts (1000 lbs) of low risk ingredients at the end of each day. Ground corn (1000 lbs) containing from 0.5% to 1.0% organic acids (Propionic, acetic, or formic) can also used periodically for sanitation to minimize the risk of contamination.
• Mixture of these acids can also be added as supplements to finished feed to reduce the number of viable salmonella.
