Abstract:

Four studies were conducted using some Korean plants in combination with probiotics to find out suitable and safe natural substitutes of antibiotics for broiler production as well as meat quality improvement. Seven medicinal plants (Camelia sinensis, Salicornia herbacia, Houttuynia cordata, Alisma canaliculatum, Laminaria japonica, Cornus officinalis, and Bambusa bambos) having phytobiotics and four probiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. plantarum, Bacillus subtilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae) were used in different combinations and inclusion levels for determining their effectiveness in enhancing broiler meat quality. It was observed that a combination of multi-strain probiotics and medicinal plants containing phytobiotics at a certain inclusion level may maintain growth performance and enhance meat quality. The combined natural feed additives improved meat quality traits, especially, fatty acids profile in meat, cholesterol and lipid oxidation of meat.
