Abstract

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary supplemented with different compound acidifier on pH and digestive enzymatic activity of digestive tracts of broilers, in order to detect the best supplemental level of compound acidifier in broiler diet. A total of 648 one-day-old Arbor Acre (AA) broilers were randomly assigned to 6 groups with 6 replicates per group and 18 birds per replicate. Broiler in the control group were fed a basal diet, and the others were fed basal diets supplemented with 0.10%, 0.15%, 0.20%, 0.25% and 0.30% compound acidifier, respectively. The experiment lasted for 42 days. The results showed as follows: compound acidifier had significant effects on pH of crop, duodenum, jejunum and ileum of broilers at 42 days of age (P<0.05), and showed a linear correlation (P<0.05). Compound acidifier had significant effects on total enzyme, enzyme activity and activity ratio of pepsin in muscular stomach and glandular stomach of broilers at 42 days of age (P<0.05), and showed a linear correlation (P<0.05). Compound acidifier had significant effects on the activities of amylase and lipase in small intestine and showed a linear correlation (P<0.05), which showed no significant effects on the activities of trypsase and chymotrypsin in small intestine (P>0.05). In conclusion, the dosage of compound acidifier in broiler diet for the optimal digestive enzymatic activity of digestive tract is 0.10%.
