A total of 1800, day old broiler chicks of Cobb-500 strain were selected and randomly assorted into 6 treatment groups: T1 (basal diet without antibiotics as negative control); T2 (basal diet plus antibiotics as positive control group); T3 (basal diet plus 200g\/ton MOS); T4 (basal diet plus 400g\/ton MOS); T5 (basal diet plus 600g\/ton MOS) and T6 (basal diet plus 800g\/ton MOS). Each treatment was having 6 replicates and the feed intake, body weight gain and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were recorded on weekly basis. Results showed that, MOS supplemented birds have significantly higher feed intake, weight gain and FCR (P &lt; 0.05). Similarly, supplementation of MOS showed positive effect on villus height and crypt depth both in jejunum and ilium. Goblet cell density was unaffected by MOS addition (P &lt; 0.05). Furthermore, birds fed with diets containing MOS, exhibited better productive performance in comparison to positive and negative control groups. In conclusion, MOS can replace antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) as non-microbial performance-enhancing feed advocates.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/1519-6984.250132","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,16]],"date-time":"2022-05-16T19:44:35Z","timestamp":1652730275000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Effects of mannan-oligosaccharide supplementation on gut health, immunity, and production performance of broilers"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"84","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9555-7666","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M.","family":"Asif","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences,  Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0975-1594","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Z.","family":"Hayat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences,  Pakistan; University of Sargodha,  Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3440-8106","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"A.","family":"Rahman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences,  Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4979-5847","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M.
