Abstract:

Physicochemical changes could affect the quality of goat milk yoghurt. Yoghurt quality has been improved by incorporating a synbiotic derived from a prebiotic combined with probiotics. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of synbiotics (inulin of mangrove apple and Lactobacillus plantarum) in the physicochemical properties of goat’s milk yoghurt. This study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 5 treatments and 4 replications, with differences in the concentration of synbiotics as much as 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8%. The addition of synbiotics was significant (p < 0.05) in the sugar reduction, colour, and syneresis of yoghurt products. They did not significantly affect (p > 0.05) the firmness of yoghurt texture. This study provides support for the addition of synbiotics to improve physicochemical properties of goat’s milk yogurt.

Abstract:

Skatole and androstenone are the two main compounds responsible for the foul odour in entire male pigs’ meat, known as boar taint. This study evaluated the effect of feed supplementation with inulin on the boar taint levels of 30 entire male pigs. Two months before slaughter, the animals were allocated into three groups (n = 10). The control group received a standard commercial diet. The other groups were fed the same commercial diet with 3% and 6% added inulin, respectively. Results showed that inulin addition to the feed significantly reduced skatole levels in the pigs’ adipose tissue compared with the control group. The levels of androstenone were not affected by the dietary approach. Although there were differences in some parameters, the supplementation with inulin did not promote extensive changes in the meat quality parameters between the tested groups. When raising entire males, supplementation with inulin in finishing diets could be considered to reduce the boar taint perception by the consumer.

Abstract:

The study was focused on assessment of the effect of prebiotic inulin (from Jerusalem artichoke (JA) powder it contain ~50% of inulin) and mixed with probiotic preparation call synbiotic thereof on growth performance and blood parameters of milk calf. In total, 70 milk calves (50+/-5 kg; 23+/-5 d.old) were used in a 57-d experiment. The seven dietary treatments consisted of the control diet (CoG); diet CoG supplemented with different amount of prebiotics (PreG6; PreG12; PreG24; accordingly 6g, 12 or 24 g of JA) and three different amount of synbiotics (SynG6; SynG12; SynG24; accordingly inulin and probiotic 0.25 g Enterococcus faecium (2×109 CFU g-1). Throughout the study prebiotic (PreG) and synbiotic (SynG) groups calf average daily gain (ADG) was increased (p < 0.01) than CoG, the end of study the highest ADG reached PreG12 than SynG12 and it was (p < 0.01) compare with CoG. At the end of te study PreG6 and SynG6;12 hematocrit was higher (p < 0.05), but PreG12;24 and SynG24 (p < 0.01) than CoG. Hemoglobin PreG and SynG12;24 was higher (p < 0.01) compare with CoG. WBC was lower (p < 0.05) PreG24, but there were no differences between synbiotic groups (SynG) compare CoG. PLT was (p < 0.01) higher PreG and SynG supplemented groups than CoG. Total protein PreG12; SynG6;12 (p < 0.01) higher compare CoG. Glucose PreG6;12 is lower (p < 0.05) than CoG. In conclusion, 12g and 24g of JA powder and the same amount ja powder mixed with probiotic Enterococcus faecium can improve the 4 to 12 weeks old calf performance and health status. However, new synbiotic didn’t improve inulin action.

Abstract:

The aim of study was to investigate the effect of a synbiotic containing Enterococcus bacteria and 3 different concentrations of inulin on the performance and health status of calves. Forty randomly selected healthy male Holstein crossbreed calves 23 (+/- 5) days old and weighing 50 kg (+/- 5 kg) were randomly allocated to 4 groups: control group (CoG n = 10) fed only whole milk, and 3 synbiotic supplemented groups: 1) SynG6 n = 10, 2) SynG12 n = 10, 3) SynG24 n = 10, in which calves received various amounts of prebiotic inulin (artichoke powder 6 g, 12 g, and 24 g) with 0.25 g of the probiotic Enterococcus faecium (2×109 CFU g-1). At the end of this study all three synbiotic group weight gains were significantly greater than the control group (p < 0.01). SynG12 (12 g artichoke powder) group’s weight gain was significantly greater than control and the 6 g and 24 g synbiotic groups (p < 0.05). The average cold carcass weight results were similar to the live weight results: SynG12 was significantly (p < 0.05) higher than SynG6 and SynG24. Supplementing feedings with this combination of the synbiotic containing 6 g of inulin (produce in Latvia) mixed with Enterococcus (Protexin, UK) bacteria (SynG12) was most effective in achieving the greatest daily weight gain and cold carcass weight.
