Abstract

Actigen ® is a prebiotic, containing mannan oligosaccharides (MOS), a specific product derived from the outer cell wall of yeast ( Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii ). Actigen ® is produced by Alltech Inc.(USA), using nutrigenomics technology, which allows determining the changes that occur in the expression of genes in the intestinal cells. Actigen ® is considered to be a growth promoter through its roles in immune modulation and improving the gut health. Researches carried out worldwide have highlighted that the use of Actigen ® determined the improvement of the live body weight in broiler chickens, the improvement of weight gain, feed conversion and the reduction of losses due to mortalities.
