Use of herbal additive to eliminate the negative effects of heat stress on broilers
Original language description
The aim of this study was to evaluated addition of herbal extracts on performance, quality of meat and blood parameters in broilers affected by heat stress. Both sexes (135 broilers) of COBB 500 hybrids, were used in the experiment. Broilers were divided into two groups with six replications; control group (CG) and experimental group (EG). Both groups were fed the same diets till 28 days of age. From this age CG fed control diet and EG fed the same diet only supplemented with 0.1% herbal additive based on Baical Skullcap root (Scutellaria baicalensis L.) containing glycoside baicalin. Both groups were fed ad libitum. At the age 30 days temperature was increased to 27 oC and kept the same till the end of experiment at 34 days of age. Live body gain and live body weight were higher in EG, but the difference were no significant. Feed conversion ratio was better in EG, but there was no significant difference between the groups and feed intake was almost the same in both groups. Weight of abdominal fat, liver, bursa fabricii and spleen was the same in both groups. Weight of heart was significantly higher in EG (P < 0.05). pH of meat after 1 hour and 24 hours after slaughter were almost the same in both groups. Drip loss was slightly higher in EG. Blood parameters such as alkaline phosphatase, alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, glucose, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, glutathion peroxidase and concentration of urea were not influenced by herbal additive added to the diet.
