Abstract

The plant species Gelsemium elegans Benth. (GEB) promotes pig and sheep growth; however, little is known about its effects in chickens. In this study, a GEB extract (GEBE) was prepared, and its effects on the growth, slaughter, antioxidant performance, meat quality, serum biochemical indices, intestinal morphology, and microflora of yellow-feathered chickens were evaluated. In total, 600 chickens aged 15 days were randomly divided into four groups with five replicates each and fed a basal diet containing 0% (control), 0.25% (0.25 GEBE), 0.75% (0.75 GEBE), or 1.25% (1.25 GEBE) GEBE until 49 days of age. Chickens were then killed, and their meat, organs, and serum and cecal contents were collected. GEBE reduced the feed conversion ratio, particularly in the 0.75 and 1.25 GEBE groups. Furthermore, the GEBE diet improved meat tenderness and reduced the meat expressible moisture content and liver malondialdehyde content, indicating high meat quality. Whereas the 0.25 GEBE diet increased the level of Lactobacillus acidophilus in the cecum, the 0.75 GEBE diet decreased the Escherichia coli level therein. These findings demonstrate that GEBE may improve the meat quality and cecal microbiota of yellow-feathered chickens, providing a basis for identifying candidate alternatives to conventional antibiotics as growth promoting feed additives.

饲料中隐杆线虫的影响。提取物对黄羽鸡生长、屠宰性能、肉品质、肠道形态和微生物群的影响。
本研究的植物种为菖蒲草。(GEB)促进猪羊生长;然而,人们对它对鸡的影响知之甚少。本试验旨在制备GEBE提取物,研究其对黄羽鸡生长、屠宰、抗氧化性能、肉质、血清生化指标、肠道形态和菌群的影响。选取600只15日龄鸡,随机分为4组,每组5个重复,分别饲喂基础饲粮中添加0%(对照)、0.25% (0.25 GEBE)、0.75% (0.75 GEBE)和1.25% (1.25 GEBE)的GEBE至49日龄。然后处死鸡,收集其肉、器官、血清和盲肠内容物。GEBE降低了饲料系数,特别是在0.75和1.25 GEBE组。此外,GEBE饲粮改善了肉的嫩度,降低了肉的可表达水分含量和肝脏丙二醛含量,表明肉品质较高。0.25 GEBE组提高了盲肠中嗜酸乳杆菌的水平,而0.75 GEBE组降低了盲肠中大肠杆菌的水平。上述结果表明,GEBE可改善黄羽鸡的肉质和盲肠菌群,为确定替代常规抗生素的促生长饲料添加剂提供了基础。
