An experiment was performed to study the effects of a low inclusion level of Chlorella vulgaris (CV) biomass in broiler diets on performance, immune response related to inflammatory status, and the intestinal histomorphology. The study was performed with 120 Ross 308 male broiler chickens from 0−35 days of age. The broilers were housed in 12 floor pens (1.5 m2) bedded with wood shavings. The broilers received a three phase diet program, either with 0.8% CV biomass (CV) or without CV (CON). Each diet program was replicated in six pens. The final body weight increased (p = 0.053), and the feed conversion ratio (FCR), corrected for body weight, was reduced (p = 0.02) in birds fed CV compared to birds fed CON. In addition, decreased haptoglobins (p = 0.02) and interleukin-13 (p < 0.01) responses were observed during the grower phase of birds fed CV compared to the birds fed CON. A strong correlation (r = 0.82, p < 0.01) was observed between haptoglobin response and FCR. Histomorphology parameters of the jejunum were not different between the groups. It was concluded that the inclusion of 0.8% CV biomass in broiler diets is effective in influencing immune responses related to inflammatory status and promoting broiler growth.
进行了一项实验,以研究低水平添加普通小球藻(CV)生物质对肉鸡日粮的生产性能、与炎症状态相关的免疫反应以及肠道组织形态学的影响。该研究使用了120只0至35日龄的罗斯308雄性肉鸡。肉鸡饲养在12个铺有木屑的地面围栏(1.5平方米)中。肉鸡接受三阶段日粮方案,一组添加0.8%的CV生物质(CV组),另一组不添加CV(对照组)。每个日粮方案在六个围栏中重复。与对照组相比,CV组肉鸡的末体重增加(p = 0.053),校正体重后的饲料转化率(FCR)降低(p = 0.02)。此外,与对照组相比,CV组肉鸡在生长阶段的触珠蛋白反应(p = 0.02)和白细胞介素-13反应(p < 0.01)降低。触珠蛋白反应与FCR之间存在强相关性(r = 0.82,p < 0.01)。各组空肠的组织形态学参数无差异。得出的结论是,在肉鸡日粮中添加0.8%的CV生物质可有效影响与炎症状态相关的免疫反应并促进肉鸡生长。
