Abstract

: Nowadays, the use of plants is an alternative for the control and treatment of diseases in the poultry industry. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of chili pepper ( Capsicum annuum ) as a natural additive for the prevention of coccidiosis in broilers up to 8 weeks of age. For this experiment were used 288 Ross 308 chickens of one day distributed in 4 treatments, 6 repetitions and 12 animals in each group, where the treatment was applied (T1 0.1; T2 0.2; T3 0.3; T0 0%) Chili pepper. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was carried out, with an analysis of variance and the Tukey 5% test for the treatments, the variables oocyst count per gram of faeces and various productive parameters were evaluated, Finally, it was demonstrated that the best dose of natural coccidiostat with the best performance both in weight gain and feed conversion was with the dose of 0.3% of chili peper, in addition, with this percentage the amount of Eimeria oocytes was reduced, preserving the intestinal health of the animals. This study contributes to have a better production alternative and competitiveness in the face of the new demands of chicken consumption in the market.

辣椒(Capsicum annuum)作为预防球虫病添加剂的评价

目前，在家禽业中，植物的使用是控制和治疗疾病的另一种选择。本研究的目的是评价辣椒(Capsicum annuum)作为天然添加剂对8周龄肉鸡球虫病的预防效果。试验选用1日龄的罗斯308鸡288只，分为4个处理，6个重复，每组12只。T2 0.2;T3 0.3;(0%)辣椒。采用完全随机设计(CRD)，对各处理进行方差分析和Tukey 5%检验，对每克粪便卵囊数和各生产参数进行评价，结果表明，在添加0.3%辣椒粉的情况下，天然球虫的增重和饲料转化率均最佳，且该剂量能减少艾美耳球虫卵母细胞的数量。保护动物肠道健康。该研究有助于在面对市场对鸡肉消费的新需求时，有更好的生产选择和竞争力。

期刊介绍： American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, a quarterly, peer reviewed publication and is dedicated for publication of research articles in the field of biology of animals and with the scientific understanding of how animals work: from the physiology and biochemistry of tissues and major organ systems down to the structure and function of bio molecules and cells; particular emphasis would given to the studies of growth, reproduction, nutrition and lactation of farm and companion animals and how these processes may be optimized to improve animal re- productivity, health and welfare. Articles in support areas, such as genetics, soils, agricultural economics and marketing, legal aspects and the environment also are encouraged. AJAVS is an important source of researcher to study articles on protection of animal production practices, herd health and monitoring the spread of disease and prevention in both domestic and wild animals.
