Abstract

The objective of current trail was to evaluate the effect of three Chinese herbal extracts (Lonicera japonica, Radix liquiritiae and Lysimachia davurica) supplementation in drinking water as alternative to antibiotics on performance and immune organs weight/index in growing broilers chicks. For this purpose, 150 day old broiler chicks were reared in floor pens and raised on commercial feed for 7 days for adaptation. After seven days, birds were distributed into five groups in such a way that each group contained 3 replicates and each replicate had 10 birds. All groups were fed commercial diet and offered water with or without additives. In control group drinking water was without any additives; In second group drinking water was supplemented with antibiotic (Flavomycin 10 ml/liter). The remaining three groups were supplemented with Lonicera japonica, Radix liquiritiae, and Codonopsis extract @ 20 ml/liter, 15 ml/liter, and 10 ml/liter in drinking water, respectively. Results indicated improved growth performance in broiler had supplementation of Chinese herbal extracts in drinking water as compared to control (P<0.05). A significant decrease in cholesterol and blood glucose was observed in those birds which had supplementation of Chinese herbs extracts in drinking water (P<0.05). Moreover, Chinese herbs extract in drinking water improved immune organ weight and immune indexes in broiler. It could be concluded that supplementation Chinese herbs extracts in drinking water had positive influence on growth performance, blood biochemistry and immune organs in broiler.
不同中草药提取物在肉鸡生产中的功效比较
本试验旨在评价在饮用水中添加金银花、黄芪和刺柳草3种中草药提取物替代抗生素对生长肉鸡生产性能和免疫器官重/指数的影响。为此,150日龄肉鸡在地板栏中饲养,并用商品饲料饲养7 d进行适应。7 d后,将雏鸟分为5组,每组3个重复,每个重复10只。各组饲喂商业饲粮,并提供添加或不添加添加剂的水。对照组饮水不添加任何添加剂;第二组在饮水中添加抗生素(黄霉素10 ml/l)。其余3组分别在饮用水中添加金银花、黄芪、党参提取物@ 20 ml/l、15 ml/l、10 ml/l。结果表明,与对照组相比,在饮水中添加中草药提取物可提高肉鸡的生长性能(P<0.05)。在饮水中添加中草药提取物可显著降低鸡的胆固醇和血糖(P<0.05)。此外,饮水中添加中草药提取物可提高肉鸡免疫器官重量和免疫指标。由此可见,在饮水中添加中草药提取物对肉鸡生长性能、血液生化和免疫器官均有积极影响。
