Effects of dietary yeast β-glucans supplementation on growth performance, gut morphology, intestinal Clostridium perfringens population and immune response of broiler chickens challenged with necrotic enteritis
2016-05-01
Abstract excerpt
Necrotic enteritis (NE) is an enterotoxemic disease caused by Clostridium perfringens that results in substantial economic losses to the global poultry industry. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary yeast β-glucans (YG) on growth performances, gut morphology, intestinal C. perfringens population, endogenous antimicrobial peptide expression, and humoral immune response of broiler chickens...
