Abstract

This study evaluated physiological growth performance and cecal microbial populations in broilers infected with Coccidia after adding Fenugreek. A 160 unsexed Ross 308 were randomly assigned into two trails according to their coccidial infection and Fenugreek addition. The first group was fed their basal diet as a control group (N = 40), and the second group (N = 40) was provided with a basal diet and extra (3 kg/ton) Fenugreek. The remaining 80 birds were divided into two treatment groups. Forty birds infected with Coccidia didn’t have Fenugreek, and another 40 birds infected with Coccidia had Fenugreek addition. FI, BW, FCR, carcass, internal organs and dressing percentage were calculated. Total protein, albumin, cholesterol, triglyceride, glucose, urea, cecal microbial count, mortality rate, intestinal lesion scoring and small intestine length were measured. Fenugreek supplements to the broiler diet showed higher BW, FI and better FCR with infected or non-infected broilers. Checks had heavier internal organ parts than the control group. Furthermore, Fenugreek reduced abdominal fat weight and blood measurements. Additionally, it promotes the small intestine’s length, reducing lesion scores and coccidian egg accounts. Therefore, adding Fenugreek to broiler feed improves their performance. Ultimately, Fenugreek can replace or partially replace anticoccidial drugs in poultry production.

添加胡芦巴对球虫感染肉鸡的效果评价

摘要

本研究评估了添加胡芦巴后感染球虫的肉鸡的生理生长性能和盲肠微生物种群。将 160 只无性别的 Ross 308 根据其球虫感染和胡芦巴添加情况随机分配到两个试验中。第一组以基础饮食作为对照组（N = 40），第二组（N= 40）提供基础饮食和额外（3公斤/吨）胡芦巴。其余 80 只鸡被分为两个治疗组。四十只感染球虫的鸟没有服用葫芦巴，另外 40 只感染球虫的鸟添加了葫芦巴。计算FI、BW、FCR、胴体、内脏和屠宰率。测量总蛋白、白蛋白、胆固醇、甘油三酯、葡萄糖、尿素、盲肠微生物计数、死亡率、肠道病变评分和小肠长度。肉鸡日粮中添加胡芦巴补充剂对感染或未感染的肉鸡显示出更高的体重、FI 和更好的 FCR。检查组的内脏器官部分比对照组更重。此外，胡芦巴减少了腹部脂肪重量和血液测量。此外，它还能促进小肠的长度，减少病变分数和球虫卵帐户。因此，在肉鸡饲料中添加胡芦巴可以提高其生产性能。最终，胡芦巴可以替代或部分替代家禽生产中的抗球虫药物。
