Testing Novel Eubiotic Additives: Its Health and Performance Effects in Commercially Raised Farm Animals

Abstract

A microbial fermentation process was developed to produce three eubiotic products containing

probiotics, organic acids, enzymes, organic vitamins and minerals. The studies were carried out from 2015 to 2017.

One product was specifically added with ground leaves of essential oil plant at the end of fermentation. As a result

of this study, a dose of Eubiotic 1 ranging from 0.02 to 0.1% of diet remarkably increased egg yield and egg weight

of laying hens. A daily increase of 1 to 3 kg milk per cow with no increase in dry matter intakes was obtained from

a dose of 15 g eubiotic 1 per head per day in several farm trials. Calves had a 15 g Eubiotic 2 in warm milk grew

faster than those given no supplement in milk. Calves and lambs having a severe level of diarrhea provided with

15 g supplement of eubiotic 2 in milk showed no sign of diarrhea after 6 or 24 h. Dairy cows and beef cattle having

severe and acute metabolic disorders administrated with a dose of 75 g eubiotic 2 per cow per twice a day had no

signs of such disorders in 24 h. Meat-type broiler chickens and quails given a diet of 0.5% supplement produced

more profitable meat than those birds had no supplement. A 250 g live weigh gain with better feed conversion

ratio (FCR) was obtained from the fattening beef cattle given a 20 g/day/head of eubiotic 2. Eubiotic mixture 3

was a silage additive and added to approximately 10.000 tonnes of corn silages and then the maturation of silage

occurred in 15 to 30 days. It was concluded that these beneficial effects were mainly due to the combination of

various active agents, and the proposed dosages were 0.5% in broiler diet, 200-1000 mg/kg of laying hens, 30 g/

head in dairy cows.

Yeni Eubiyotik Katkı Madde Testleri: Ticari Çiftlik Koşullarında Sağlık ve Verim Üzerine Etkiler

Abstract

Bu çalışmada mikrobiyal fermentasyon ile canlı probiyotik, organik asit, enzimler ile organik kökenli

vitamin ve mineral maddeler içeren üç yeni eubiyotik katkı maddesi geliştirilmiştir. Araştırmalar 2015-2017

yılları arasında yürütülmüştür. Bunlardan birisi, özellikle fermentasyon sonunda katılan esansiyel ekstrakt kaynağı

olarak öğütülmüş bitki içermektedir. Yumurtacı tavukların karma yemlerine %0,02 ile %0,1 arasında eubiyotik 1

katkısının yumurta verimi ve yumurta ağırlığı önemli şekilde artırdığı görülmüştür. Farklı işletmelerde barındırılan

süt sığırlarına aynı katkıdan günde 15 gram (bir dizi ön test sonuçlarına göre bu doz etkili olmuştur) yedirildiğinde

ise 1-3 kg arasında inek başına süt verimi artışı sağlanmıştır. Yeni doğan buzağılara sütle 15 g yedirildiğinde daha

hızlı büyüme sağlanmış, ishal olan kuzu ve buzağılarda ishal vakasına 6 ile 24 saat içerisinde rastlanılmamıştır.

Metabolik rahatsızlıklara sahip ergin sığırlara günde iki kere 75 g’lık doz su veya süt ile verildiğinde hayvanlar eski

sağlık durumlarına 24 saat içerisinde girmiştir. Eubiyotik 1 karşımından et tipi piliçlere %0.5-1.0 dozlarında rasyon

ile verildiğinde ise yemden yararlanma ve büyüme hızı önemli derece artmıştır. Et sığırlarına günde 20 g eubiyotik 2

karışımı verildiğinde günlük canlı ağırlık artışında 250 g daha fazla kazanç sağlanmıştır. Eubiyotik 3 karışımı 10.000

ton mısır silajına katıldığında silajlar 15 ile 30 gün içerisinde olgunluğa ulaşmıştır. Tüm bu yararlı etkilerin bu yeni

ürünlerin değişik aktif maddeler içermesinden kaynaklandığı sonucuna varılmıştır. Ayrıca, bu ürünler tamamen

doğal kökenli ve hiçbir zararlı etkisine rastlanılmamış olup en faydalı dozların etlik piliçlerde rasyonun %0.5,

yumurtacı rasyonlarında 200-1000 mg/kg, süt ineklerinde günde 30 g/baş, buzağı ve genç hayvanlarda 15 g/baş,

metabolic rahatsızlıklarda 75 g/baş ve silaj katkı maddesi olarak ton başına 1 g olarak tespit edilmiştir.
