In order to test whether glycosphingolipids (GSLs) on the chicken intestinal mucosa serve as a receptor for Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis with fimbriae, we analyzed neutral GSLs and gangliosides from chicken intestinal mucosa and investigated the binding of bacteria to neutral GSLs and gangliosides. Four kinds of neutral GSLs, designated as N-1 to N-4 and four kinds of gangliosides, named G-1 to G-4, were identified on high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) plates. In TLC immunostaining tests, fimbriated S. Enteritidis bound only to glucosylceramide (GlcCer) standard, N-1, GM3 standard and G-1, but neither to N-2, N-3, N-4, nor to G-2, G-3 and G-4. Further, the bacterial binding to N-1 and G-1 was completely inhibited by preincubation of bacteria with anti-S. Enteritidis fimbriae (SEF) 21 antibody, but not by anti-SEF14 antibody. These results suggest that both GlcCer (N-1) and ganglioside GM3 (G-1) on the epithelial cell surfaces of chicken intestine act as receptors for fimbriated S. Enteritidis.

Introduction: are the most common cause of food poisoning, which manifests itself in diarrhoea of varying severity. Additionally, because of the increasing number of people with immune deficiencies, more frequent serious complications of infections are being observed. The main source of infection is the consumption of contaminated poultry meat, which is a consequence of the insufficiency of current hygiene and biosecurity to control or eliminate it from the poultry food chain.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Mosla chinensis extract (MCE) on broiler intestinal health. A total of 240 1-day-old Arbor Acres (AA) broilers (balanced for sex) were randomly allocated into four treatment groups, each with six replicates of 10 chickens. The study comprised a starter phase (days 1-21) and a grower phase (days 22-42).

The broiler industry is pivotal in meeting the growing global demand for highly nutritious animal protein foods. Hence, there is a continuous interest in identifying novel, alternative, and even unconventional feed resources that could help sustainably support chicken meat production and quality. In this view, the microalga Spirulina (, formerly , ), due to its unique chemical composition and some ecological advantages offered by its cultivation over traditional agriculture, has attracted great attention in the poultry sector for potential application in broiler diets, either as a functional supplement or a replacer of conventional protein sources such as soybean meal.

Chicken yolk immunoglobulin (IgY) is a natural immunologically active antibody extracted from egg yolk and can be used as a natural dietary supplement for the treatment of inflammation and damage to the intestines. In our study, IgY was embedded in a double emulsion (W/O/W; DE) to explore the therapeutic effect of the embedded IgY on Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced jejunal injury in mice. The results showed that W/O/W-embedded IgY as a dietary supplement (IgY + DE) attenuated LPS-induced damage to mouse small intestinal structures and protected the integrity of the jejunal mucosal barrier.
