本研究开展了3个饲养试验,旨在探讨苯甲酸和精油单独或联合使用对肉鸡生长性能、肠道微生物含量及肝脏抗氧化性能的影响.试验1和2均选择1日龄肉鸡450只,分为3组,每组5个重复,每个重复30只.对照组均饲喂相同的基础日粮,试验1处理组肉鸡分别饲喂基础日粮添加1.5和3?g/kg苯甲酸,试验2处理组肉鸡分别饲喂日粮添加2和4...

Effects of benzoic acid and essential oils on growth performance,antioxidant status and intestinal microflora of broilers

Three feeding experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of benzoic acid and essential oils alone or in combination on growth performance,intestinal microbial content,and antioxidant performance of the liver of broilers.In experiment 1 and 2,4501-day-old broiler chickens were selected and divided into 3 groups with 5 replicates in each group and 30 chickens in each replicate.The control group was fed the same basic diet.Broilers in the treatment group 1 were fed the basic diet supplemented with 1.5 and 3 g/kg benzoic acid respectively,while broilers in the treatment group 2 were fed the basic diet supplemented with 2 and 4 mg/kg essential oil respectively.In experiment 3,300 broilers on a 1-day diet were divided into 2 groups with 5 replicates in each group and 30 in each replicate.The control group was fed the basic diet,while the treatment group was fed the basic diet supplemented with 1.5 g/kg benzoic acid and 4 mg/kg essential oil.All three trials were conducted for 42 days.Results:In experiment 1,1.5 g/kg benzoic acid group,compared with the control group and 3 g/kg benzoic acid group,the body weight of broilers at 21 and 42 d and daily weight gain at 1~21 d,22~42 d and 1~42 d were significantly increased(P<0.05),and the feed weight ratio of broilers at each stage in 1.5 g/kg benzoic acid group showed the lowest(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the benzoic acid treatment group significantly increased the content of lactobacillus and significantly reduced the number of Cecal Escherichia coli(P<0.05).In experiment 2,broiler chickens added with 4 mg/kg essential oil on the basal diet at 42 d showed the lowest weight and daily weight gain,cecal lactobacillus content(P<0.05),feed weight ratio and number of cecal E.coli(P<0.05).At the same time,the activity of GSH-PX and GST in the liver was significantly increased in the plant essential oil group compared with the control group(P<0.05),and the content of malonaldehyde in the liver was significantly decreased in the plant essential oil group(P<0.05).In experiment 3,the quantity of E.coli in the treated group was significantly reduced compared with the control group(P<0.05).The activity of glutathione peroxidase(GSH-PX)and glutathione s-transferase(GST)in the treated group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05),but the content of malonaldehyde was significantly lower in the treated group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Adding 1.5 g/kg benzoic acid or 4 mg/kg essential oil to the diet can improve the growth performance of broilers and reduce the content of harmful microorganisms in the intestinal tract,while adding benzoic acid and essential oil alone or in combination can improve the antioxidant status of broilers’liver.
