Based on the biologically active compounds of studied so far, there are no studies on the use of this plant in broilers. Therefore, the present study aims is to investigate the effect of on the performance, blood biochemistry, internal organs, gene expression related to immune response, and the cecal microbiota of broiler chickens. A total of two hundred and forty male broilers were used and divided into four diet groups (T1 = 0, T2 = 3, T3 = 6, and T4 = 9 g powder/kg basal diet). The performance evaluation, serum biochemical parameters, internal organ indicators, cytokines' gene expression, and microbiota colonization were determined. The study results showed that this plant was rich in nutrients, some fatty acids, and bioactive phenolic compounds. All growth performance indicators and relative liver weight were improved by levels (T2 to T4) with no effect on feed intake. T3 and T4 showed higher total protein and lower triglycerides and total cholesterol. Birds fed showed immune regulation through the modulation of pre-inflammatory cytokines and increased compared with the control group. Diet groups (T2 to T4) had higher quantities of spp. and lower levels of spp. than the control group. We conclude that could be used as a feed supplement for broilers due to its beneficial effects on overall performance, immune response, and microbiota. Further studies are recommended to investigate the potential mechanism of in broilers.
基于目前已研究的生物活性化合物，尚无关于该植物在肉鸡中使用的研究。因此，本研究旨在探讨[该植物]对肉鸡生长性能、血液生化指标、内脏器官、免疫反应相关基因表达以及盲肠微生物群的影响。总共使用了240只雄性肉鸡，并将其分为四个日粮组（T1 = 0、T2 = 3、T3 = 6和T4 = 9克[该植物]粉末/千克基础日粮）。测定了生长性能、血清生化参数、内脏器官指标、细胞因子基因表达和微生物群定植情况。研究结果表明，这种植物富含营养物质、一些脂肪酸和生物活性酚类化合物。[该植物]添加水平（T2至T4）提高了所有生长性能指标和相对肝脏重量，对采食量没有影响。T3和T4组的总蛋白含量较高，甘油三酯和总胆固醇含量较低。与对照组相比，饲喂[该植物]的鸡通过调节促炎细胞因子表现出免疫调节作用，并增加了[相关指标]。日粮组（T2至T4）的[某种微生物]数量高于对照组，而[另一种微生物]水平低于对照组。我们得出结论，由于[该植物]对肉鸡的整体性能、免疫反应和微生物群具有有益作用，因此可作为肉鸡的饲料添加剂。建议进一步研究以探讨[该植物]在肉鸡中的潜在作用机制。
