| Background: Essential oils and organic acidifiers are used as natural antimicrobial substitutes for chemical additives in poultry feed. Pathogens such as Salmonella and Escherichia coli pose significant risks. While essential oils possess strong antibacterial and antifungal properties, commercial acidifiers (blends of formic, propionic, and lactic acids) are also commonly applied to reduce microbial contamination in feed. However, comparative data on their efficacy against key poultry pathogens remain limited. Aims: The present study investigates the antibacterial and antifungal effects of selected commonly used commercial acidifiers in poultry feed and also compares them with antibacterial effects of essential oils. Methods: Antibacterial effects against Salmonella typhimurium and E. coli were evaluated for both five commercial acidifiers and essential oils (cinnamon, thyme, clove). Antifungal effects against Fusarium oxysporum were evaluated for acidifiers only. Microplate and agar-well diffusion methods were used. Acidifiers were tested at 1×, 2×, and 5× the manufacturer’s recommended dose; essential oils at 2% and 5% (v/v). Sampling time points for feed pH and microbial counts were days 0, 7, and 21. All tests were performed in triplicate and repeated twice. The impact of acidifiers on feed pH was also evaluated. Results: Acidifiers exhibited negligible inhibitory effects against target pathogens even at concentrations five times higher than recommended levels. In contrast, essential oils demonstrated significant inhibitory effects. Furthermore, the addition of acidifiers did not affect the pH of the feed. Conclusions: The study underscores the potent antibacterial properties of cinnamon, thyme, and clove essential oils against common poultry pathogens. Comparatively, commercial acidifiers showed limited efficacy. Incorporating essential oils into poultry feed can enhance animal health and safety as effective substitutes for chemical additives. Further research is needed to optimize their use and maximize their antimicrobial benefits. | ||
