Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of adding ginseng or/and garlic powder in the diet on growth performance, biochemical parameters and carcass traits of growing male rabbits. Weaned V-line male rabbits (n=48) were divided into four groups. They were assigned at random to receive a basal diet without supplementation (control group), supplemented with 50mg Ginseng or/and 5gm Garlic/kg diet. Growth performance parameters were recorded at age intervals from 5-14wk. Serum biochemical and carcass traits were determined at 14wk of age. Results show that dietary fortification with ginseng or/and garlic caused a significant increase (P≤0.05) in live body weight and body weight gain of male rabbits at 14wk old. Rabbits fed the diets supplemented with garlic alone or combined with ginseng displayed significantly better (P≤0.05) means of feed conversion ratio. Rabbits fed the ginseng or garlic plus ginseng-supplemented diets displayed significantly higher (P≤0.05) serum triglycerides and cholesterol levels. On the other hand, rabbits fed garlic or garlic plus ginseng supplemented diets showed significantly lower (P≤0.05) levels of serum low-density lipoprotein. Dietary supplementation with ginseng and garlic singly or in combination did not significantly affect dressing-out percentage, and weights of carcass yield, hind parts and edible organs of rabbits. However, rabbit fed the garlic-fortified diet displayed significantly heavier (P≤0.05) testes than did the control group and other experimental groups. The current study indicated that addition of ginseng or/and garlic powder in the diet increased growth performance without any adverse effect on immunity and carcass traits of growing V-line male rabbits.
饲粮中添加人参或大蒜对生长雄性v系兔生长性能、血液生化指标和胴体性状的影响
本试验旨在研究日粮中添加人参或大蒜粉对生长公兔生长性能、生化指标和胴体性状的影响。选取断奶v系公兔48只,随机分为4组。随机分为两组,在基础饲粮中不添加任何添加剂(对照组),每kg饲粮中添加50mg人参或/和5gm大蒜。每隔5 ~ 14周龄记录生长性能参数。14周龄时测定血清生化和胴体性状。结果表明,饲粮中添加人参或大蒜可显著提高14周龄公兔的活重和增重(P≤0.05)。饲粮中单独添加大蒜或与人参联合添加大蒜均显著提高了饲料系数(P≤0.05)。人参或大蒜加人参组血清甘油三酯和胆固醇水平显著高于对照组(P≤0.05)。另一方面,大蒜或大蒜加人参组血清低密度脂蛋白水平显著降低(P≤0.05)。饲粮中单独或组合添加人参和大蒜对家兔屠宰率、胴体产量、后躯和可食器官的重量均无显著影响。与对照组和其他试验组相比,大蒜强化饲粮兔睾丸显著加重(P≤0.05)。本研究表明,日粮中添加人参或大蒜粉可提高生长期v系公兔的生长性能,但对机体免疫力和胴体性状无不良影响。
