Abstract

The purpose of this experiment was conducted to study the effects of adding compound plant extracts with different levels to the diet on the performance, intestinal mucosal morphology and cecal microflora structure of laying hens. A total of 960 healthy Hy-Line gray hens at the age of 42 weeks with similar body weight and laying rate were selected and randomly divided into 4 groups with 5 replicates in each group and 48 chickens in each replicate. Laying hens in control group were fed a basal diet, and those in test groups Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ were fed experimental diets which supplemented with 150, 300 and 450 mg/kg of compound plant extracts into the basal diet, respectively. The pre-feeding period was 10 d and the formal period was 56 d. The results showed as follows:1) compared with the control group, diet supplemented with 300 and 450 mg/kg compound plant extracts significantly increased the laying rate of laying hens (P<0.05). 2) Compared with the control group, the crypt depth of jejunum and duodenum was significantly reduced (P<0.05), and the ratio of villi height to crypt depth of duodenum was significantly increased when the diet supplemented with 300 mg/kg compound plant extracts (P<0.05). 3) In the term of cecal microflora structure, at the phylum level, diet supplemented with 300 and 450 mg/kg compound plant extracts significantly increased the relative abundance of Bacteroidetes (P<0.05), and diet supplemented with 450 mg/kg compound plant extracts significantly decreased the relative abundance of Firmicutes compared with the control group (P<0.05); at the genus level, the relative abundance of Bacteroides in the group supplemented with 450 mg/kg compound plant extracts was significantly increased (P<0.05), and the relative abundance of Akkermansia had an increasing trend compared with the control group (P=0.063). In summary, under the condition of this experiment, adding 300 mg/kg compound plant extracts into the diet can increase the laying rate of laying hens, reduce the crypt depth of jejunum and duodenum, increase the ratio of villi height to crypt depth of duodenum, increase the relative abundance of Bacteroidetes in cecal microflora, and then improve the intestinal mucosal morphology and cecal microflora structure, and increase the performance of laying hens.
