Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation of organic acid mixture on growth performance, cecal microflora, blood characteristics and immune response in broiler chicks and to prove the possibility of organic acid mixture as an alternative to antibiotics growth promotor. A total of four hundred eighty, 1-day-old male broiler chicks (Ross$\times$Ross 308) were randomly divided into 4 groups with 4 replicates of 30 birds each. The treatments were NC (free antibiotics), PC (basal diet with virginiamycin 10 ppm and salinomycin 60 ppm), 0.3% organic acid, and 0.5% organic acid. The final body weight and body weight gain were significantly higher in organic acid 0.5% than NC (P<0.05). The feed conversion ratio in all treated groups were significantly improved as compared to that of NC (P<0.05). The carcass rate and relative organs weight were not significantly difference among the groups. The relative weight and length of small intestine in PC were significantly decreased than the other groups. The numbers of cecal coliform bacteria and Salmonella in all treated groups were significantly lower than NC (P<0.05). The number of cecal lactic acid bacteria was not different among the groups. No significant differences among the groups were observed in the contents of total cholesterol, triglyceride, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), albumin, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in blood serum. The contents of total protein and globulin in blood serum of PC and organic acid treated groups were significantly increased as compared to those of NC (P<0.05). Therefore, albumin:globulin ratio of PC and organic acid treated groups was significantly lower than NC (P<0.05). The total white blood cell (WBC), heterophil, lymphocyte, and stress indicator (heterophil:lymphocyte ratio) were not significantly different among the groups. No significant difference was observed on the expression rate of splenic cytokines mRNA in organic acid treated groups compared to the control. Consequently, supplemental organic acid mixture improved the growth performance, and influenced positive effects on the intestinal microflora by inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria without any adverse effects on relative weights of organs and blood biochemical parameters in broiler chicks.

본 연구에서는 사료 내 복합 유기산제의 첨가급여가 육계 생산성, 맹장 미생물 균총, 혈액 특성 및 면역 활성에 미치는 영향을 조사하고 이를 통해 유기산의 성장촉진용 항생제 대체 가능성을 구명하고자 수행하였다. 1일령 육계 수평아리(Ross$\times$Ross 308) 480수를 공시하여 4처리, 4반복, 반복당 30수씩 배치하여 5주간 사양시험을 실시하였다. 시험구는 항생제 무첨가구, 항생제 첨가구(virginiamycin 10 ppm＋salinomycin 60 ppm)를 대조구로 하였으며, 시험사료에 유기산을 0.3% 및 0.5% 첨가하여 유기산 처리구를 두었다. 5주 종료체중, 증체량에 있어서 유기산 0.5% 처리구가 무항생제 처리구에 비해 유의하게 증가하였으며(P<0.05), 유기산 첨가 급여시 무항생제 처리구에 비해 사료 요구율이 유의하게 개선되었다(P<0.05). 도체율 및 조직의 상대적 중량에서는 처리구간 차이가 관찰되지 않았다. 소장 중량 및 길이는 항생제 첨가구가 다른 처리구에 비해 유의하게 감소하였으나(P<0.05), 유기산 처리구와 항생제 무첨가구간에는 차이가 없었다. 맹장 내 미생물 균총에 있어서 대조구인 항생제 첨가구와 유기산 처리구에서 맹장내 Coliform bacteria 및 Salmonella가 유의하게 감소하였으며 유산균에는 영향을 미치지 않았다. 혈액 내 총콜레스테롤, 중성지방, BUN, AST 및 ALT에 있어서는 통계적 유의성이 인정되지 않았다. Total protein 및 globulin 수치에 있어서는 항생제 첨가구 및 유기산 처리구가 항생제 무첨가구에 비해 유의하게 감소하였으며(P<0.05), albumin 수치에서는 차이가 없었다. 이로인해 항생제 첨가구 및 유기산 처리구의 혈청 내 albumin : globulin 비율이 항생제 무첨가구에 비해 유의하게 증가하는 결과를 보였다(P<0.05). WBC, heterophil, lymphocyte 및 스트레스 지표인 heterophil:lymphocyte 비율에 있어서 처리구간 차이가 관찰되지 않았으며, 비장 조직내 IL-2 및 IL-6 mRNA의 발현양상에 있어서도 유기산 첨가급여에 따른 변화는 관찰되지 않았다. 결론적으로 복합 유기산제의 육계 사료 내 첨가급여는 육계 생산성을 향상시키고, 유해균의 성장 및 증식을 억제하여 장내 미생물 균총의 안정화에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 한편, 조직 발달 및 혈액 성상에 부정적인 영향을 미치지 않았다.
