Abstract

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of dietary Quercus acutissima Carruth tannin on growth performance, immune organ indexes and plasma biochemical indexes of broilers. A total of 288 one-day-old male Arbor Acres (AA) broilers were selected and randomly divided into 4 groups with 6 replicates in each group and 12 broilers in each replicate. Broilers in the control group (VT-0 group) were fed a basal diet, and others in experimental groups were fed basal diets supplemented with 100 (VT-1 group), 500 (VT-2 group) and 1 000 mg/kg (VT-3 group) Quercus acutissima Carruth tannins, respectively. The experiment lasted for 42 days. The results showed as follows:1) dietary Quercus acutissima Carruth tannin had no significant effect on the performance of broilers (P>0.05). 2) At 42 days of age, the bursa of Fabricius index of VT-2 group was significantly higher than that of VT-0 and VT-1 groups (P<0.05), and there was a significant linear correlation between bursa of Fabricius index and Quercus acutissima Carruth tannin addition amount (P<0.05); the spleen index of VT-2 group had an upward trend compared with other groups (P=0.096). 3) The plasma immunoglobulin G (IgG) content of broilers at 21 and 42 days of age of VT-2 group was significantly higher than that of other groups (P<0.05), and there were significantly linear and quadratic correlations between plasma IgG content and Quercus acutissima Carruth tannin addition amount (P<0.05). 4) The contents of total cholesterol (T-CHO) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in plasma of broilers at 21 days of age of VT-3 group was significantly higher than that of other groups (P<0.05), and there were significantly linear and quadratic correlations between plasma T-CHO content and Quercus acutissima Carruth tannin addition amount (P<0.05). The plasma creatinine (CREA) content of broilers at 42 days of age of VT-1 and VT-2 group was significantly lower than that of VT-0 group (P<0.05), and there were significantly linear and quadratic correlations between plasma CREA content and Quercus acutissima Carruth tannin addition amount (P<0.05). It can be concluded that dietary appropriate amount of Quercus acutissima Carruth tannin can improve the bursa of Fabricius index and plasma IgG content of broilers, and improve plasma biochemical parameters to a certain extent.
