Yeast cell wall supplementation affects the Salmonella enteretidis load in the ceca and ovaries of layer pullets.

Salmonella enteretidis (SE) has a great propensity to translocate from the cecum into internal organs such as the spleen and liver. However, a major concern is the ability of SE to colonize the ovaries. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of cell walls from Saccharomyces cerevisiae to control the Salmonella load in the ceca and ovaries of commercial layer pullets.

Β-glucans and MOS, essential oil, and probiotics in diets of broilers challenged with Eimeria spp. and Clostridium perfringens.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of β-glucans and MOS, essential oil (mixture of carvacrol and thymol), and the probiotic based on Saccharomyces boulardi, as an alternative to anticoccidial agents. In this experiment, six hundred seventy-two 1-day-old male broiler chicks were housed in batteries for 28 d. The experimental design of 4 randomized blocks with 24 cages each, and 7 birds per cage, consisted of an initial phase from 1 to 14 d of age, and a growth phase, from 15 to 28 d of age.

In vitro and in vivo capacity of yeast-based products to bind to aflatoxins B and M in media and foodstuffs: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

The aflatoxins are hepatotoxic and carcinogenic metabolites produced by Aspergillus species during growth on crop products. In this regard, a systematic review to collect the quantitative data regarding the in vitro capacity of yeasts-based products to bind to aflatoxin B (AFB) and/or aflatoxin M (AFM) was performed. After screening, 31 articles which met the inclusion criteria was included and then the pooled decontamination of aflatoxins in the defined subgroups (the type of foods, pH, contact time, temperature, yeast species, and aflatoxin type) was calculated by the random effect model (REM).

Influence of dietary fermented Saccharomyces cerevisiae on growth performance, oxidative stress parameters, and immune response of cultured Oreochromis niloticus.

Our trial was performed to investigate the effect of fully fermented yeast Sacharomyces cerevisiae (Hilyses, ICC Company, Brazil) on the growth performance and immune response of Oreochromis niloticus. In this study, a total of 270 O. niloticus (50.
