Abstract | ||
The purpose of the current study was to evaluate two herbal-based prebiotics of Aviance and Natusol with antibiotic growth promoter (AGP) on performance, immune response, blood biochemical characteristics and intestinal performance of broilers. An experiment was conducted using 128 day-old Male Ross 308 in completely randomized design manner with 4 treatments, 4 repliactes and 8 chicks per replicate. Treatments were 1) control(with no additive); 2) basal diet with 0.04% Tetracycline antibiotic growth promoter; 3) basal diet with 0.05% of Aviance prebiotic and 4) basal diet with 0.1% of Natusol. Results showed that broilers recived Natusol and antibiotic fed significantly increased feed consumption and antibody response against Newcastle disese virus, compared with control group (P≥0.05). Also, serum triglyceride levels in broilers were significantly lower in Aviance and Natusol groups than in the control group (P≥0.05), and the Natusol group had the lowest concentrations of triglyceride compared to other experimental groups (P≥0.05). The effect of different experimental diets on the improvement of morphologic indices compared to the control group was significantly higher in case of villus height of Natusol group and the highest proportion of villus height to crypt depth ratio in Natusol and antibiotic groups (P≥0.05). According to the results of this study, consumption of 0.05% of Aviance and 0.1% of Natusol prebiotics can be considered as an appropriate alternative to antibiotic growth promoters in broiler diets. | ||
