Effect of pediococcus acidilacti on enzymatic antioxidant, pathology and broilers meat quality under salmonella infection

Abstract EN

One hundred and twenty five three days-old broilers chick were used in this study to evaluate growth performance of S.

enteritidis colonization, antioxidant, lipid peroxidation, meat quality and histopathological findings of broilers chick supplemented with Pediococus and challenged with Salmonella infection.

The broilers chick were divided into four groups, control group without infection, Pediococcus group without infection, group infected with salmonella and Pediococcus group with Salmonella infection.

The results indicated that the use of Pediococcus acidilactici was without affect on the growth performance, improved antioxidant, decreased lipid peroxidation, improved quality of meat and decreased histopathological lesion of Salmonella.
