Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of antimicrobial peptide, acidifier and functional oligosaccharide combined supplementation instead of antibiotics on growth performance, serum immune indices, intestinal morphology and cecal microflora of broilers. A total of 720 one-day-old Arbor Acres broilers were randomly divided into 6 groups with 6 replicates in each group and 20 chickens (half male and half female) in each replicate. Broilers in the control group (NC group) were fed a basal diet, and those in the antibiotics group (AN group) were fed the basal diet supplemented with 500 mg/kg oxytetracycline calcium (based on 50 mg/kg oxytetracycline active ingredient), and the others in the experimental groups were fed the basal diets supplemented with 300 mg/kg antimicrobial peptide+200 mg/kg functional oligosaccharide (AP+FOS group), 300 mg/kg antimicrobial peptide+350 mg/kg acidifier (AP+AC group), 350 mg/kg acidifier+200 mg/kg functional oligosaccharide (AC+FOS group) and 300 mg/kg antimicrobial peptide+350 mg/kg acidifier+200 mg/kg functional oligosaccharide (AP+AC+FOS group), respectively. The experiment lasted for 42 days. The results showed as follows:1) compared with the NC group, the body weight of broilers at 42 days of age in the AN group, AP+FOS group, AP+AC group, AC+FOS group and AP+AC+FOS group was significantly increased (P<0.05), the average daily gain (ADG) was significantly increased at 22 to 42 days and 1 to 42 days of age (P<0.05), while the feed to gain ratio (F/G) was significantly decreased at 22 to 42 days and 1 to 42 days of age (P<0.05); the F/G of broilers at 1 to 21 days of age in the AP+FOS group was significantly decreased (P<0.05). Compared with the AN group, there were no significant differences in ADG, average daily feed intake and F/G among AP+FOS group, AP+AC group, AC+FOS group and AP+AC+FOS group in each period (P>0.05). 2) Compared with the NC group and AN group, the serum immunoglobulin A content of broilers in the AP+FOS group, AP+AC group and AP+AC+FOS group was significantly increased (P<0.05), and the serum immunoglobulin G content of broilers in the AP+FOS group, AP+AC group and AC+FOS group was significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with the NC group, the serum immunoglobulin M content of broilers in the AN group, AP+FOS group, AP+AC group, AC+FOS group and AP+AC+FOS group was significantly increased (P<0.05). 3) Compared with the NC group, the crypt depth in duodenum and ileum of broilers in the AN group, AP+FOS group, AP+AC group, AC+FOS group and AP+AC+FOS group was significantly decreased (P<0.05), the villus height to crypt depth ratio (V/C) in duodenum of broilers in the AP+FOS group, AP+AC group, AC+FOS group and AP+AC+FOS group was significantly increased (P<0.05), and the V/C in ileum of broilers in the AP+FOS group, AP+AC group and AP+AC+FOS group was significantly increased (P<0.05). 4) Compared with the NC group and AN group, the ACE index, Chao1 index and Shannon index in cecal microflora of broilers in the AP+FOS group, AP+AC group, AC+FOS group and AP +AC+FOS group were increased to some extent. Compared with the NC group, the relative abundance of Ruminococcaceae_UCG-014 and Synergistes in cecum of broilers in the AP+FOS group, AP+AC group, AC+FOS group and AP+AC+FOS group was increased. In conclusion, combined supplementation of antimicrobial peptide, acidifier and functional oligosaccharide can improve the growth performance and immune performance of broilers, ameliorate the morphology of small intestine, regulate the diversity and abundance of cecal microorganisms, and promote the intestinal health of broilers. The combination of antimicrobial peptide with acidifier or functional oligosaccharide has a better effect on immune performance and has the potential to replace antibiotics.
