Abstract

The effects of butyric acid supplemented diets on growth performance of turkey poults were examined in a 49-day experiment using one hundred and sixty (160) (one-day old) Nicholas turkey poults. The experimental design was a Completely Randomized Design. Poults were brooded for 7 days, after which they were allotted to 4 dietary treatments with 5 replicates of 8 birds per replicate. Treatment 1(T1) was the basal diet with no supplement while treatments 2 (T2), 3 (T3), and 4(T4) were supplemented with antibiotics, 0.2% butyric acid and 0.4% butyric acid respectively. Feed was offered ad-libitum. Final weight and weight gain of poults fed control, antibiotics and 0.2% butyric acid supplemented diets were similar but significantly (p<0.05) higher than birds fed 0.4% butyric acid diet. Significant higher feed intake was observed in birds fed control and antibiotics diets while the least was recorded in birds fed 0.4% butyric acid diet. It was observed that 0.2% butyric acid appears to be a viable alternative to antibiotics growth promoter in turkey diets without any detrimental effect on the productive performances.
日粮中添加不同含量的丁酸作为抗生素对火鸡生长性能的影响
在一项为期 49 天的实验中,使用 160 只(一天龄)尼古拉斯火鸡,研究了添加丁酸的日粮对火鸡生长性能的影响。实验设计为完全随机设计。小火鸡育雏 7 天后被分配到 4 个日粮处理中,每个处理有 5 个重复,每个重复有 8 只小火鸡。处理 1(T1)为基础日粮,不添加任何添加剂;处理 2(T2)、处理 3(T3)和处理 4(T4)分别添加抗生素、0.2% 丁酸和 0.4%丁酸。饲料为全价饲料。饲喂对照组、抗生素和添加 0.2%丁酸的日粮的家禽的最终体重和增重相似,但显著高于饲喂 0.4%丁酸日粮的家禽(p<0.05)。饲喂对照组和抗生素日粮的鸡采食量明显较高,而饲喂 0.4% 丁酸日粮的鸡采食量最低。据观察,在火鸡日粮中,0.2% 丁酸似乎是抗生素生长促进剂的一种可行替代品,不会对火鸡的生产性能产生任何不利影响。
