A total of 60 birds (30 males and 30 females) were involved in the experiment. The animals were fed by the standard basal diet and divided to the 6 groups as follows: probiotic females (PF, n = 10) and probiotic males (PM, n = 10) received probiotic preparation in the single dose of 1 g/1 kg of feed mixture, humic acids females (HF, n = 10) and humic acid males (HM, n = 10) received humic acids in the single dose 3 g/1 kg of feed mixture. The group fed basal diet without any additive served as the control group (CF; n = 10, CM, n = 10). After 210 days the animals were slaughtered, blood samples and samples of muscles (breast and thigh) were collected. Probiotic and humic acids treatment resulted in the significant increase of serum calcium levels in the female groups against the male groups. The content of serum phosphorus significantly increased in the PF group in comparison to the PM group. In this study both treatments (probiotics and humic acids) significantly decreased amount of HDL cholesterol in the female groups in comparison to the female control. Significant sex-based differences were observed for HDL cholesterol (CF, PF, HF vs. CM, PM, HM) and LDL cholesterol (HM vs. HF). 24 h after slaughter meat pH showed significant differences in different muscles.

We can conclude, that the effect of probiotics and humic acids treatment seems to be dose dependent and estimation of effective dose of additives used in poultry feeding play an important role.

abstract = {The transportation of chickens from the poultry farm to the slaughterhouse causes stress conditions that influence the oxidative status of the whole organism and subsequently change the organoleptic properties of the meat delivered to the consumer. The aim of this work was to investigate how administering 0.6% humic acids to broiler chickens for a period of 42 days affects the level of selected enzymes directly involved in oxidative stress elimination. For the most objective estimation of the oxidative state, parameters were determined in liver and kidney mitochondria, and in the blood plasma. With regards to the chelating properties of humic acids, our interest was in monitoring the effects on the distribution of the transition metals Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, which serve as cofactors of antioxidant enzymes. We have found that, under normal conditions, 42 days of humic acid administration do not cause significant metal redistribution. It has a significant effect on Se excretion, according to the pronounced deposition of Se in kidney tissue, without significantly increased activity of the corresponding enzyme. This led to compensation by changes in other antioxidant enzyme activities. This is a noteworthy finding, especially after administration of longer than 42 days. In conditions caused by sudden stress, according to the detected element levels, it is possible to expect a better response in the case of humic acid administration. The effect of humic acid supplementation appeared to be organ-specific and may ultimately be beneficial for the chickens' health, stress elimination and, finally, the quality of the meat.

abstract = {The objective of the present study was to investigate how different levels of natural humic acid in the diet affect the hydrolases activity in the rumen of sheep. The experiment was carried out on three rumen-fistulated adult sheep. The control animals were fed a diet (K) containing 59.7% meadow hay, 28.4% crushed barley, 9.8% soybean oil meal and 2.1% vitamin mineral mixture. The experimental diets were composed of the control ration supplemented with humic acid (HUMAC natur AFM® containing 65% humic acid in dry matter) and supplied at doses of 10 g · d–1 (diet H10) or 20 g · d–1 (diet H20). Samples of rumen digesta were collected just before the morning feeding, as well as 2, 4, and 8 h afterwards. In the present study, the cellulolytic activity in the rumen digesta was higher (P < 0.01) in sheep fed the K diet than it was in animals fed the H20 ration 2 h after feeding. However, the effect of humic acid on the cellulose degradation rate depended on the content of humic acid in the diet. The cellulolytic activity was increased 2 h after feeding in sheep fed the H10 diet as compared with animals fed the H20 ration (P < 0.05). Sampling time had significant influence on the hydrolases activity in the rumen of sheep. In sheep fed the H10 ration, the cellulolytic activity was higher 8 h after feeding than it was before feeding and 4 h after feeding (P < 0.05). In the H10 and H20 groups, the xylnalolytic activity was higher before feeding, but lower than it was in the control group K. The degradation rates of xylan were decreased 2 and 4 h after feeding in sheep fed the H10 and H20 rations and then increased 8 h after feeding (P < 0.05). In sheep fed the H20 diet, the amylolitic activity 8 h after feeding was higher than it was 2 h after feeding (P < 0.05). The effect of humic acid on the hydrolases activity in the rumen of sheep is not uniform and depends on the quantity of humic acid in the diet and on sampling time. Humic acid present in commercial HUMAC natur AFM® product enhances the initial rate of cellulose degradation in the rumen at a dose of 10 g · d-1. Thus, it may suggest that humic acid stimulates the growth of fibrolytic microorganisms in the rumen. On the other hand, the present results suggest that humic acid may reduce the rate of carbohydrate degradation in the rumen, since a higher hydrolases activity was observed before morning feeding and 8 h afterwards.},
