This research was designed to explore the potential of mycotoxin binders derived from zeolite and bioherbal formulations as natural feed additives to enhance growth performance and intestinal characteristics in broilers.
The study utilized 320 Lohmann MB 202 broilers, sourced from PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, commencing from day 1 and extending over a period of 35 days. The methodological framework employed a completely eandomized design, incorporating two factors. The primary factor analyzed was the type of feed additive, designated as Zeolite (A1) and Bioherbal (A2). The secondary factor considered was the level of mycotoxin binder inclusion in the feed, set at four increments: 0% (T1), 0.2% (T2), 0.4% (T3), and 0.6% (T4), resulting in a total of eight treatment combinations, each replicated four times. The observational metrics focused on production performance and specific intestinal characteristics of the broilers.
The findings indicated that while the interaction between feed type and the level of additive use did not significantly influence feed consumption, weight gain, feed conversion ratio, or villi length ( > 0.05), there was a notable impact on the villi surface area ( < 0.05) and a pronounced effect on villi count and crypt depth ( < 0.01).
The study concluded that mycotoxin binders containing zeolite effectively reduce mycotoxin levels in feed, whereas bioherbal additives significantly improve intestinal health. Thus, a 0.6% inclusion level of these additives is recommended as a viable alternative to antibiotics in broiler chicken diets.
本研究旨在探索源自沸石和生物草药配方的霉菌毒素吸附剂作为天然饲料添加剂在提高肉鸡生长性能和肠道特性方面的潜力。
本研究使用了320只罗曼MB 202肉鸡，购自印度尼西亚Japfa Comfeed公司，从第1天开始，为期35天。该方法框架采用完全随机设计，包含两个因素。分析的主要因素是饲料添加剂的类型，指定为沸石（A1）和生物草药（A2）。考虑的次要因素是饲料中霉菌毒素吸附剂的添加水平，设置为四个增量：0%（T1）、0.2%（T2）、0.4%（T3）和0.6%（T4），共产生八个处理组合，每个组合重复四次。观察指标集中在肉鸡的生产性能和特定肠道特性上。
研究结果表明，虽然饲料类型和添加剂使用水平之间的相互作用对采食量、体重增加、饲料转化率或绒毛长度没有显著影响（>0.05），但对绒毛表面积有显著影响（<0.05），对绒毛数量和隐窝深度有显著影响（<0.01）。
该研究得出结论，含沸石的霉菌毒素吸附剂能有效降低饲料中的霉菌毒素水平，而生物草药添加剂能显著改善肠道健康。因此，建议在肉鸡日粮中添加0.6%的这些添加剂，作为抗生素的可行替代品。
