Abstract

Pitamin is a component of pine bark extract that exhibits antimicrobial activity and a variety of physiological effects. This study was earned out to investigate the effects of dietary pitamin as an organic livestock feed additive in broiler chickens. A 35 day trial was conducted to determine the influence of dietary premix containing 5% pitamin; investigated parameters included blood lipids, growth performance, quality characteristics of carcasses, and changes of caecal microbials in broiler chickens. Chickens were randomly divided into groups that were untreated (control), treated conventionally with antibiotics in the absence of premix, received 0.1 % or 0.2% premix containing 5% pitamin. Plasma lipids were lower in groups fed diets with pitamin premix (p<0.05). The body weight gain from broiler chickens fed with the diet containing 0.1% pitamin premix and antibiotics was similar, and was significantly higher than that of the other groups (p<0.05). The weight of breast muscle and thigh meat of carcasses was similar, and was higher than that of the control group (p<0.05). Abdominal fat and thymus index from chickens receiving either pitamin-supplemented premix was significantly lower and increased, respectively, that of the antibiotic and control groups (both p<0.05). The chickens on the pitamin premix-supplemented diets evidenced significantly higher caecal levels of Bifidobacterium species as compared with the chickens on the control diet (p<0.05). These results suggest that feeding a diet supplemented with a 0.1% premix containing 5.0% pitamin for 35 days maintains the production of broiler chickens at a level comparable to that obtained from the use of antibiotics.

소나무껍질 추출물, 피타민은 인간의 생체 내 여러 가지 생리활성을 높여주는 항산화성 및 항균성 소재로서 널리 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 브로일러에 대한 유기사료 첨가제로서 소나무 껍질 추출물, 피타민의 첨가효과를 조사하기 위하여 피타민 프리믹스가 첨가된 사료를 부화 후 35일 동안 섭취한 브로일러의 혈중지질, 생산성, 도체특성 및 맹장미생물 변화를 연구하였다. 병아리는 대조구, 항생제 첨가구, 피타민 프리믹스 0.1%, 피타민 프리믹스 0.2% 첨가구로 구분하였다. 브로일러 혈중지질은 피타민 프리믹스 첨가구가 대조구 및 항생제 첨가구에 비해서 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다(p<0.05). 브로일러의 체중은 P 0.1% 첨가구와 항생제 첨가구가 서로 비슷하였으며 P 0.2% 첨가구와 대조구에 비해서 유의적으로 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 도체중, 도체율, 도체중에 대한 가슴살과 다리살 무게비율은 P 0.1% 첨가구와 항생제 첨가구가 서로 비슷하였으며 대조구에 비해서 유의적으로 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 복강지방 무게비율은 P 0.1%, P 0.2% 첨가구가 항생제 첨가구 및 대조구에 비해서 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다(p<0.05). 흉선 무게지수는 P 0.1%, P 0.2% 첨가구와 항생제 첨가구가 서로 비슷하였으며 대조구에 비해서 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.05). 장 내 Bifidobacteria는 P 0.1% 첨가구와 항생제 첨가구가 대조구 및 P 0.2% 첨가구에 비해서 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.05). 본 시험에서 나타난 중요한 점은 피타민 5.0%를 함유하는 프리믹스 0.1%를 브로일러 사료에 부화 후 35일 동안 첨가 급여해 줌으로서 항생제 첨가와 동일한 브로일러의 생산성을 유지할 수 있다는 사실이었다.
