The effect of ochratoxin A (OA) on the body weight, feed intake, and feed conversion was investigated in broiler chicken fed dietary levels of OA at 0, 1, and 2 ppm for 28 days from hatch. Feeding OA significantly reduced the growth rate of broiler chicken. The reduction was observed from the first week onwards in OA-treated groups. Feed consumption and feed conversion also showed a diminishing trend from the first week of feeding toxin. Its implication on the performance of broiler chicken is discussed.
研究了赭曲霉毒素A(OA)对从孵化起饲喂28天、日粮中OA水平分别为0、1和2 ppm的肉鸡体重、采食量和饲料转化率的影响。饲喂OA显著降低了肉鸡的生长速度。在OA处理组中,从第一周开始就观察到了这种下降。从饲喂毒素的第一周起,采食量和饲料转化率也呈下降趋势。文中讨论了其对肉鸡生产性能的影响。
