چکیده مقاله :
Probiotics have been shown to have beneficial effect on the growth performance of newborn animals. However, the results are inconsistent, especially in Iran. A meta-analysis was carried out to evaluate the effects of probiotics on dry matter intake (DMI), daily weight gain (DWG) and feed efficiency (FE) in suckling calves using data from the studies conducted in Iran. The literature review resulted in 13 documents including 6 and 5 papers written in English and Farsi respectively, as well as 2 papers presented in national conferences. Random effect meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the effect of probiotics on growth performance of the suckling calves using STATA statistical software on 8 papers that were identified as suitable for the objective of this study. Univariate and multivariate meta-regression analyses were also performed to evaluate the effects of experimental period (≤8 weeks vs. >8 weeks), gender of calf (male vs. female), type of probiotic (bacteria vs. a combination of yeast and bacteria), and probiotic administration manner (in milk vs. in starter) on the study outcomes. The results of meta-analysis showed no significant effect of probiotics on DMI. However, a significant difference was identified by subgroup meta-analysis between the experimental period subgroups for the effect of probiotics on DMI. Probiotics administration increased DWG of suckling calves by 47 g/day (p <0.01). The effect of probiotics on feed efficiency was not significant. The results indicated that the probiotic administration may improve DMI and DWG in suckling calves.
هدف از این مطالعه، فراتحلیل اثر پروبیوتیک بر مصرف ماده خشک، افزایش وزن روزانه و بازده خوراک در گوساله‌های شیرخوار با استفاده از داده‌های مطالعات انجام شده در ایران بود. نتیجه بررسی منابع علمی، ۱۳ مقاله شامل شش مقاله به زبان انگلیسی، پنج مقاله به زبان فارسی و دو مقاله ارائه شده در همایش‌های داخلی بود. فراتحلیل اثر تصادفی و همچنین متارگرسیون روی هشت مطالعه که برای هدف این مطالعه مناسب بود با استفاده از نرم‌افزار STATA/SE انجام شد. در آزمایشاتی که مدت زمان اندازه‌گیری ماده خشک مصرفی بیشتر از سن هشت هفتگی بود، استفاده از پروبیوتیک، سبب بهبود مصرف ماده خشک در گوساله‌های شیرخوار شد. افزایش وزن روزانه گوساله‌های شیرخوار به طور مثبت تحت تأثیر استفاده از پروبیوتیک قرار گرفت، که این تأثیر مستقل از جنس گوساله، نوع پروبیوتیک، مدت زمان آزمایش و همچنین نحوه استفاده از پروبیوتیک بود. با این حال، بازده خوراک در گوساله‌های شیرخوار تحت تأثیر استفاده از پروبیوتیک قرار نگرفت. یافته‌های این مطالعه فراتحلیل اظهار می‌کند که استفاده از پروبیوتیک در تغذیه گوساله‌های شیرخوار می‌تواند افزایش وزن روزانه و همچنین مصرف ماده خشک را بهبود دهد.
