Abstract

Ganoderma Lucidum (G. lucidum) is an edible mushroom and it has been used as a medicinal fungus for centuries. We evaluated the efficacy of G. lucidum on the growth performance, biochemical blood parameters, antioxidant and immunity status, and meat quality in slow-growing broilers. A total of 216 one-day-old broiler chickens were randomly assigned to 3 treatment groups: a basal control diet with 0 mg/kg (G. lucidum), 300 mg/kg (G. lucidum), and 600 mg/kg (G. lucidum) for 50 d. The findings showed that G. lucidum showed an insignificant improvement in body weight and average body weight gain (P = 0.06 (during the early fattening period, and reduced the mortality rate (P < 0.001). In addition, dietary G. lucidum imposed changes in plasma indices, in a dose- and age-dependent manner. G. lucidum treatments increased plasma levels of superoxide dismutase activity (T-SOD) and interferon gamma (IFN-γ) at 21 d of age and decreased plasma activity of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) at 50 d of age. Compared to the control group, the levels of plasma urea nitrogen (UN) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) decreased (P < 0.05) at a low dose of 300 mg G. lucidum/kg and interleukin 6 (IL-6) increased at a high dose of 600 mg G. lucidum/kg at 21 d of age. Plasma immunoglobulin A (IgA) levels increased (P < 0.05) at a high dose of 600 mg G. lucidum/kg, while malondialdehyde (MDA) decreased at a low dose of 300 mg G. lucidum/kg at 50 d of age. A significant increase (P < 0.05) in succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity in the liver was observed in birds fed 600 mg G. lucidum/kg. G. lucidum treatments increased (P = 0.003) mRNA expressions of jejunal B-cell lymphoma/leukemia-2 (Bcl-2). No differences were observed in the physicochemical indices of meat, except for redness (a*), which was lower (P = 0.02) in birds fed G. lucidum at a high dose of 600 mg/kg compared to the control diet. The findings suggest that G. lucidum would be considered as a feed supplement inclusion with possible ameliorative changes on broilers health status.

灵芝对生长缓慢肉鸡的生长性能、血液生化指标、抗氧化和免疫状态以及肉质的影响

灵芝（Ganoderma Lucidum）是一种食用菌，几个世纪以来一直被用作药用真菌。我们评估了灵芝对生长缓慢的肉鸡的生长性能、血液生化指标、抗氧化和免疫状态以及肉质的功效。结果表明，在肉鸡育肥早期，金线莲对体重和平均增重的改善不显著（P = 0.06），但降低了死亡率（P < 0.001）。此外，日粮中的绿藻以剂量和年龄依赖性的方式改变了血浆指数。在21日龄时，绿藻能提高血浆中超氧化物歧化酶活性（T-SOD）和γ干扰素（IFN-γ）的水平；在50日龄时，能降低血浆中天冬氨酸氨基转移酶（AST）的活性。与对照组相比，低剂量（300 毫克金线莲/千克）血浆尿素氮（UN）和诱导型一氧化氮合酶（iNOS）水平降低（P < 0.05），高剂量（600 毫克金线莲/千克）血浆白细胞介素 6（IL-6）水平升高。血浆免疫球蛋白 A（IgA）水平在高剂量 600 毫克金线莲/千克时升高（P < 0.05），而丙二醛（MDA）在低剂量 300 毫克金线莲/千克时降低（50 d）。饲喂 600 毫克金线莲/千克的鸟类肝脏中的琥珀酸脱氢酶（SDH）活性明显增加（P < 0.05）。饲喂绿藻可增加空肠 B 细胞淋巴瘤/白血病-2（Bcl-2）的 mRNA 表达量（P = 0.003）。与对照组相比，饲喂高剂量（600 毫克/千克）银耳的禽类肉的理化指标没有差异，但红度（a*）较低（P = 0.02）。研究结果表明，绿藻可作为一种饲料添加剂，对肉鸡的健康状况可能有改善作用。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Poultry Research (JAPR) publishes original research reports, field reports, and reviews on breeding, hatching, health and disease, layer management, meat bird processing and products, meat bird management, microbiology, food safety, nutrition, environment, sanitation, welfare, and economics. As of January 2020, JAPR will become an Open Access journal with no subscription charges, meaning authors who publish here can make their research immediately, permanently, and freely accessible worldwide while retaining copyright to their work. Papers submitted for publication after October 1, 2019 will be published as Open Access papers. The readers of JAPR are in education, extension, industry, and government, including research, teaching, administration, veterinary medicine, management, production, quality assurance, product development, and technical services. Nutritionists, breeder flock supervisors, production managers, microbiologists, laboratory personnel, food safety and sanitation managers, poultry processing managers, feed manufacturers, and egg producers use JAPR to keep up with current applied poultry research.
