OCA15. Annotation of the output with contextual information concerning the description of creative process and the content of the research/artistic/other activity, etc.Probiotic bacteria or their antimicrobial proteinaceous substances called bacteriocins (enterocins) hold promising prophylactic potential for animal breeding. The effect on mucus production in the intestinal tract after application of Enterocin M has never been studied in rabbits before. The majority of application-oriented studies are focused on bacteriocins from Gram-positive microorganisms, mostly lactic acid bacteria or enterococci, in animal breeding. In-depth studies of a selected few bacteriocins opened exiting new research fields and broadened the novel application of these antimicrobial peptides. The possibility of developing bacteriocins into next generation antibiotics, accompanied with the rapid development in genetics and nanotechnology, paves the way to even more fascinating applications such as novel carrier molecules (delivery systems) and the prevention/treatment of e. g. intestinal disorders. Bacteriocins, such as enterocins, considered to be colonizing substances of the animal intestinal tract are probably involved in influencing of mucus production. This is proved by the results obtained in our experiment, which showed the significant prolonged effect of Ent M application in the rabbit duodenum.

OCA16. Annotation of the output in EnglishThe aim of this study was to determine the beneficial effect of natural substances – enterocin M (Ent M; the proteinaceous substance produced by Enterococcus faecium CCM8558) and sage plant (Salvia officinalis L.) extract on the production of mucus in the rabbits small intestine and caecum. Sixty four post-weaned rabbits (meat line M91) were divided into three experimental groups (EG – Ent M; SG – sage extract; ESG – combination Ent M with sage extract) and control group (CG). The experiment lasted for 35 days, the natural substances were administered during the first 21 days, Ent M in EG/ESG, sage extract in SG/ESG. The beneficial effect on mucus production quantity occured in the duodenum and jejunum in ESG compared to that found in CG on day 21, the prolonged effect in EG in the duodenum compared to that observed in CG at the end of the experiment and to that in EG on day 21. The novelty of the study is in the application and monitoring the effect of non-rabbit-derived probiotic strain (Enterococcus faecium CCM8558) bacteriocin – Enterocin M and sage plant extract on mucus quantity (expressed in gram) in different segments of the rabbit small intestine as well as the caecum.

OCA18. Characteristics of the output's impact on socio-economic practiceThe results of this study obtained after application of enterocin M as well as sage extract in rabbits are original, giving us further opportunity to continue these investigations and to show the benefits of natural substances dietary supplementation on the amount of mucus production in the small intestine selected segments/caecum in rabbits ecosystem.
