OCA15. Annotation of the output with contextual information concerning the description of creative process and the content of the research/artistic/other activity, etc.The work was focused on the study of the immunomodulatory and gut-protecting effect of humic substances (HS) in broilers. The diet of experimental chicks was enriched with 0.8% of HS. We noted that HS had a stimulatory effect on the phagocytic activity and the engulfing capacity of phagocytes, however, the level of oxidative burst of phagocytes was not affected. We observed a significant increase of CD4+: CD8+ lymphocyte ratio, an indicator of immune stimulation. HS did not influence the IgA gene expression. In contrast, we observed a significant increase in the expression of MUC-2 (intestinal mucin 2) gene, and a decrease in the expression of IGF-2 (insulin-like growth factor 2) and also AvBD2 (avian beta defensin 2) genes. A decreased Enterobacteriaceae counts in the gut of experimental animals showed a positive effect on intestinal microbiota. We confirmed a gut-protecting and an immunostimulatory effect of HS in broiler chickens. /

OCA18. Characteristics of the output's impact on socio-economic practiceThe results of the output confirm the positive effect of humic substances on the immune response and thus on the health status of broilers, which will contribute to the introduction of the use of humic substances in broiler fattening in practice. As humic substances have strong detoxifying properties and the leonardite used is also a rich source of minerals, implementation will have a direct impact on the quality of poultry meat and consequently on the health of consumers.
OCA19. Characteristics of the output and related activities' impact on the educational processThe output brings new knowledge about the immune response of poultry after the application of humic substances. As this area is still little studied, this knowledge will be used for further education of students in the 3rd level of university studies in the Immunology program.
