Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary Clostridium butyricum and Bacillus licheniformis on growth performance, serum biochemical and immune indexes and immune organ indexes of Beijing ducks. A total of 300 healthy one-day-old Beijing ducks were randomly divided into 5 groups with 6 replicates in each group and 10 ducks in each replicate. Ducks in the control group (experimental group Ⅰ) were fed a basal diet, and others in experimental groups were fed the basal diet supplemented with 40 mg/kg bacitracin (experimental group Ⅱ), 5×108 CFU/kg Clostridium butyricum (experimental group Ⅲ), 1×109 CFU/kg Bacillus licheniformis (experimental group Ⅳ) and 5×108 CFU/kg Clostridium butyricum+1×109 CFU/kg Bacillus licheniformis (experimental group Ⅴ), respectively. The experiment lasted for 21 days. The results showed as follows:1) the average daily gain of experimental groups Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ and Ⅴ was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences on average daily feed intake and ratio of feed to gain among all groups (P>0.05). 2) The contents of immunoglobulin A, immunoglobulin G, complement 3 and complement 4 in serum of experimental group Ⅴ were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the contents of total protein, albumin and urea nitrogen in serum among all groups (P>0.05). 3) The thymus index and spleen index of experimental group Ⅴ were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference on the bursa of Fabricius index among all groups (P>0.05) The results indicate that diet supplemented with Clostridium butyricum and Bacillus licheniformis compound bacteria can effectively improve the growth performance and serum immune indexes of Beijing ducks.
