Abstract

Objective: Rearing broilers in high-temperature environments can impair growth performance, affecting the economic efficiency of broiler production. Dietary fiber sources like yam bean pulp (YBP) may mitigate these effects by promoting digestive organ development and gut integrity, enhancing nutrient absorption and growth. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of YBP inclusion on digestive development, gut morphology, nutrient digestibility, serum lipid profiles, and growth performance in broilers raised under high environmental temperatures.

Methods: Since YBP has not previously been used in poultry diets, its optimal inclusion level was determined using in vitro digestibility measurements, which identified 4% YBP as the optimal initial inclusion level for further in vivo study. Subsequently, the in vivo study was conducted with 200 one-day-old ROSS broiler chicks, randomly assigned to four dietary treatments (0%, 4%, 8%, and 12% YBP; 5 replicates of 10 birds each), and housed in an open system at an average temperature of 32.1±3.7°C. Digestive traits, nutrient digestibility, serum lipid profiles, and growth performance were assessed over 21 days.

Results: Results showed that YBP inclusion (up to 12%) improved gut morphology by increasing villi height and the villi height-to-crypt depth ratio in the duodenum and ileum, alongside dose-dependent improvements in dry matter digestibility. However, crude protein digestibility declined when YBP levels exceeded 8%. Despite these benefits, YBP inclusion did not alleviate heat stress effects on growth performance, digestive organ development, or serum lipid profiles, even at the highest inclusion level.

Conclusion: Dietary YBP can enhance gut morphology and nutrient digestibility in broilers from day 1 to 21, with optimal inclusion levels not exceeding 8%. However, its use does not mitigate the negative effects of heat stress on broiler growth in high-temperature environments.

山药豆粕对高温环境下肉鸡生长性能、肠道形态、消化发育和消化率的影响。
目的:在高温环境下饲养肉鸡会影响肉鸡的生长性能,影响肉鸡生产的经济效益。像山药豆浆(YBP)这样的膳食纤维来源可以通过促进消化器官发育和肠道完整性,促进营养吸收和生长来减轻这些影响。本研究旨在评价YBP包埋对高温饲养肉鸡消化发育、肠道形态、营养物质消化率、血脂和生长性能的影响。方法:由于此前未在家禽饲粮中使用YBP,因此通过体外消化率测定确定了YBP的最佳包埋水平,确定了4%的YBP为进一步体内研究的最佳初始包埋水平。随后,对200只1日龄罗斯肉鸡进行体内试验,随机分为4组饲粮处理(0%、4%、8%和12% YBP;5个重复,每个重复10只),饲养在平均温度为32.1±3.7℃的开放式系统中。在21 d内评估消化性状、营养物质消化率、血脂和生长性能。结果:结果显示,YBP包合物(高达12%)通过增加十二指肠和回肠的绒毛高度和绒毛高度与隐窝深度之比改善肠道形态,同时以剂量依赖性改善干物质消化率。但当YBP水平超过8%时,粗蛋白质消化率下降。尽管有这些好处,但即使在最高的添加水平下,YBP也不能缓解热应激对生长性能、消化器官发育或血脂的影响。结论:饲粮中添加YBP可提高第1 ~ 21天肉仔鸡肠道形态和营养物质消化率,其适宜添加水平不超过8%。然而,它的使用并不能减轻高温环境下热应激对肉鸡生长的负面影响。
