The present study aimed to establish whether supplemental Japanese pepper seed (JPS) affects feed intake in broiler chicks under conditions. Experiments were designed to estimate the acute effect of JPS on feed and water intake using 5%-20% JPS supplemental feeds. JPS supplemental feed demonstrated a tendency to suppress feed intake and water intake in a dose-dependent manner during the 2 h post-feeding period, and chicks seldom ate 20% JPS supplemental feed at 1 h post-feeding. No significant difference was observed in the rectal temperature between groups during the 2 h post-feeding period. In a 5-h feeding experiment, no JPS level had any effect on feed or water intake in chicks. These data suggest that the adverse effect of JPS may be due to volatile stimulation; however, the effect disappears after 5 h post-feeding.
本研究旨在确定在特定条件下，添加日本花椒籽（JPS）是否会影响肉鸡的采食量。实验设计使用添加5%-20% JPS的饲料来评估JPS对采食量和饮水量的急性影响。在喂食后2小时内，添加JPS的饲料呈剂量依赖性地表现出抑制采食量和饮水量的趋势，且在喂食后1小时，雏鸡很少食用添加20% JPS的饲料。在喂食后2小时内，各实验组之间的直肠温度未观察到显著差异。在一项5小时的喂食实验中，JPS添加水平对雏鸡的采食量或饮水量没有任何影响。这些数据表明，JPS的不利影响可能是由于挥发性刺激；然而，这种影响在喂食后5小时消失。
