Rating
0.0 stars

This communication material is based on the findings of the study titled Probiotic as Alternative to Antibiotic in Broiler Diets of Jesus P. Cocal and Lilibeth A. Roxas (as cited in Gintong Saliksik: Multi-Disciplinary Research Journal of CNSC (Volume I No. 1, 2010)). This aims to simplify the presenation of the effects of antibiotic and probiotic on broiler chickens. It is written in Filipino because it is the mother-tongue of the intended audience who are poultry owners and farmers.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Antibiotics are commonly used as both therapeutics and growth promoters in the poultry industry. Antibiotic use in animal husbandry has been linked to proliferation of antimicrobial resistance, but current evidence is indirect. To examine this problem directly, researchers studied the impact of the growth promoter bacitracin and the therapeutic antibiotic enrofloxacin on microbiomes and resistomes. They sampled both cloacal swabs and litter as proxies of gut and environmentally-disseminated microbiomes, coupling standard isolation and metagenomic methodologies. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria and resistance genes were ubiquitous in both the gut and litter and most of the variation in the microbiomes and resistomes was attributable to either growth stage or sample source. But, bacitracin-fed birds had higher levels of bacitracin resistance genes, and a greater proportion of their Enterococcaceae population was vancomycin-resistant..."

The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.
