O pólen apícola é um produto natural constituído por vários nutrientes, rico em aminoácidos livres e com baixo teor de gordura, além de propriedades profiláticas e terapêuticas, desta maneira é uma excelente opção na nutrição animal e pode oferecer benefícios ao desempenho e saúde dos animais de produção. Este trabalho foi realizado para avaliar o uso de pólen apícola em dietas para frangos de corte. Foram utilizados 105 pintos machos com um dia de idade, linhagem Cobb 500® (peso inicial = 38,95 ± 2,37g), em delineamento inteiramente casualizado e alimentados durante 42 dias. Foram utilizados três tratamentos, com diferentes níveis de inclusão de pólen apícola (0, 15.000, 30.000 mg/kg) e cinco repetições. Foram avaliadas as seguintes variáveis: desempenho zootécnico (consumo de ração, ganho de peso, conversão alimentar, viabilidade e índice de eficiência produtiva), características de carcaças (rendimento de carcaça, peito, coxa e sobrecoxa, asas, fígado, moela e coração) e histomorfometria intestinal (profundidade de cripta, largura da vilosidade e altura da vilosidade). Observou-se diferença entre os tratamentos sobre os parâmetros de ganho de peso, consumo de ração, conversão alimentar, índice de eficiência produtiva, rendimento de coxa e sobre coxa, de fígado, de coração e moela dos frangos de corte. Na análise de histomorfometria intestinal, a altura da vilosidade foi diferente entre os tratamentos. Recomenda-se a utilização de 30.000 mg/kg de pólen apícola na dieta por melhorar o desempenho dos frangos de corte.Palavras-chave: aves, desempenho zootécnico, nutrição, suplementação. POLLEN AS ADDITIVES IN DIETS FOR BROILERS ABSTRACT:The bee pollen is a natural product consisting of several nutrients, rich in free amino acids and low in fat, and prophylactic and therapeutic properties, so it is an excellent choice in animal nutrition and can offer benefits to the performance and health of animals of production. This study was conducted to evaluate the use of pollen in diets for broilers. We used 105 broiler chicks of one day old Cobb 500 (initial weight = 38.95 ± 2.37 g) in a completely randomized design and fed for 42 days. Three treatments were used, with different inclusion levels of pollen (0, 15000 and 30000 mg/kg) and five replications. We evaluated the following variables: performance (feed intake, weight gain, feed conversion, feasibility and Productive Efficiency Ratio), carcass traits (carcass yield, breast, leg and thigh, wings, liver, gizzard and heart) and rates of intestinal morphometry (crypt depth, villus width and villus height). It was observed a difference between treatments on the parameters of weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion, productive efficiency index, yield and thigh on thigh, liver, heart and gizzard of broilers. In morphometric analysis intestinal villus height was between treatments. It is recommended to use 30,000 mg / kg of pollen in the diet to improve the performance of broilers.Keywords: chicken, growth performance, nutrition, supplementation.

ABSTRACT: This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of growth promoter additives an alternative to antibiotics on performance, intestinal morphology and on microbiota of 21-to-35-day-old piglets. A total of 160 commercial crossbred piglets (males and females) with initial weight of 6.10±0.709kg were allotted in a completely randomized design with five treatments: Basal diet - Negative Control (NC); Basal diet + antibiotic (PC); Basal diet + mannanoligosaccharides (MOS); Basal diet + organic acids (OA), Basal diet + mannanoligosacharides + organic acids (MOS+OA), eight replicates and four piglets per experimental unit. The inclusion of additives in the diets had no effect (P>0.05) on the final average weight of piglets. Similarly, no effects (P<0.05) were observed on average daily feed intake and on average daily weight gain. The feed conversion improved (P<0.01) with the inclusion of additives in the diets compared to piglets fed with the NC. There was no effect (P>0.05) of the dietary additives on intestinal morphology and microbiota composition (enterobacteria and lactobacilli). Use of antibiotics, prebiotics, organic acids or prebiotics associated with organic acids in the diet improves feed conversion of piglets from 21 to 35 days of age. The additives have no major effects on piglets’ intestinal morphology and microbiota.

This work was carried out to evaluate the use of Bacillus subtilis probiotic C-3102 (10(10)cfu/g) in diets with or without growth promoters on the performance of broilers in the period from 1 to 42 days of age. It was used 1,200 Cobb line broilers, distributed in a complete randomized block with five diets: negative controller (without promoters); Bacillus subtilis (30 g/t ration); Bacillus subtilis (50 g/t ration); Bacillus subtilis (30 g/t ration) + colistin (10 ppm); avilamycin (10 ppm) + colistin (10 ppm). Each diet was evaluated in 10 repetitions with 24 birds. From 21 to 42 days of age, feed intake, weight gain and feed conversion were evaluated, and at 42 days of age, productive efficiency index was evaluated. At the end of the experimental period, it was observed an increase in the consumption of diet with the lowest dose of Bacillus subtilis (30 g) in relation to that one with Bacillus subtillis (30 g) + colistin (10 ppm). The values of weight gain obtained with the diet with the lowest dose of Bacillus subtillis (30 g) and with avilamycin (10 ppm) + colistine (10 ppm) were higher than those of the birds fed control diet (without promoters). For feed conversion, the best results were obtained by supplying diets containing 50 g of Bacillus subtillis, diet with 30 g of Bacillus subtillis + 10 ppm of colistin; and diet with 10 ppm of avilamycin + 10 ppm colistin. For the analysis of productive efficiency index, the best results were obtained with diets containing additives (probiotics and/or antibiotics) in comparison to the control diet. Bacillus subtillis C-3102 probiotic, at concentration 10(10) cfu/g, is an efficient substitute of antibiotics.

Abstract Introduction: Neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss, Meliaceae) is a tree native to India that has several medicinal effects. It has been reported that the leaves and oil of Neem seeds present antihyperglycemic/hypoglycemic activity. Plathymenia reticulata benth, known as “vinhático”, is a Brazilian cerrado tree that has properties of pancreatic islet hyperplasia and glycemic control in diabetic rats. Objective: To verify weight gain correlating with feed intake in rats with type 1 and non-diabetic diabetes mellitus, undertreatment with Neem and Plathymenia and the association between them. Methodology: Diabetes was induced by intraperitoneal streptozotocin (65mg/kg) administration after a 24-hour fast. The diagnosis was made using a blood glucose value above 200mg/dl. The study was conducted in 60 male adult Wistar rats, weighing between 180 and 220 grams, divided into 9 groups, between diabetics (DM) and non-diabetic controls (NDC), and treated with Neem (300 mg/kg), cold aqueous extract of Plathymenia (100 mg/kg), water (negative control) and insulin (3 IU/day) – positive control; and association between plants. The treatment was performed by orogastric gavage for a period of 28 consecutive days, and weekly weight and daily feed intake were performed. The data were analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey-Kramer’s pos-hoc test, Pearson correlation with a significance level of 5% through the SPSS25.0 software. The results are expressed on average ± EPM. Results: There was lower weight gain in diabetic rats undergoing neem treatment, compared with positive and negative control (-13.00 ± 5.13 vs 150.40 ± 6.80, vs 15.79 ± 7.25, p&lt;0.001); the average daily feed intake was higher in rats treated with neem, compared with positive and negative control (42.00 ± 0.00 vs 26.00 ± 1.26 vs 33.83 ± 0.00; p=0,001). There was no significant difference between the other diabetic groups, except for positive control – insulin. There was also lower weight gain in control animals with Neem, compared with negative control (53.50 ± 4.21 vs 80.00 ± 5.76, p=0.010). The average daily food intake was higher in control animals with Neem compared to negative control (24.00 ± 0.00 vs 15.00 ± 0.00, p=0.029). There was a significant negative correlation between weight gain and food intake in the animals studied (p=0.005). Conclusion: The results allow evaluating a lower weight gain, with higher average daily food intake, in rats treated with Neem, both diabetic and control. This effect may indicate possible use of plant extract in prediabetics, obese diabetics and in the treatment of obesity.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of adding different xylanase and ?-glucanase enzyme blends to maize- and soybean meal-based diets on performance and energy metabolizability in broilers. Two experiments were carried out with broilers of the COBB 500 strain. In the first experiment, 1960 chicks were assigned to a completely randomized design with a 2 × 3 + 1 factorial arrangement, totaling seven treatments, namely, T1- Positive control (PC); T2 - Negative control 1 (NC1; PC minus 200 kcal kg-1 ME); T3 - NC1 + Blend A; T4 - NC1 + Blend B; T5 - Negative control 2 (NC2; PC minus 167 kcal kg-1 ME and 5% amino acids); T6 - NC2 + Blend A; and T7 - NC2 + Blend B. Fourteen replicates were used per treatment and 20 birds per experimental unit. The parameters evaluated at 21 and 42 days of age were weight gain (WG), feed intake (FI) and feed conversion (FC). At 42 days, production efficiency index (PEI), viability and the yields of cuts were also calculated. Birds that received diets with a reduced nutritional value showed a reduction in WG and PEI and worsened FC as compared those of PC treatment (p < 0.05). However, the birds that consumed the NC2 diet with Blend B exhibited a similar WG to those in PC group (p > 0.05) from 1 to 21 days of life. For the yield of thigh + drumstick, the factors were statistically similar (p > 0.05) to those observed in the PC birds. In the second experiment, 432 fourteen-day-old chicks were distributed in a completely randomized design with seven treatments, with eight replicates per treatment and six birds per experimental unit. The apparent metabolizable energy (AME) and nitrogen-corrected AME (AMEn) values were determined. Overall, the NC2 diet with Blend B provided the highest AME and AMEn values; however, NC1 with the same enzyme blend was the treatment which provided the lowest values. The addition of xylanase and ?-glucanase enzyme blends to maize- and soybean meal-based diets improves WG at 21 days as well as PEI in broilers; however, it does not influence the yield of cuts. Enzymes (Blend B) improve the energy metabolization of broiler diets with reduced energy and amino acid levels.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the production performance of broilers with the addition of ginger (Zingiber officinale) in broiler diets in starter phases. Were used 630 broiler chicks in a completely randomized design with five treatments and seven repetitions with eighteen birds each. The treatments consist of a reference diet with corn and soybean meal and adding different levels of powdered ginger, five treatments, consisting of positive control, negative control and three levels of ginger (0.50%, 0.75%; 1.0%). Were evaluated at the end of each phase, feed intake, weight gain, feed conversion, body weight, pancreatic weight and length and weight of the intestine. The data will be submitted to analysis of variance and means to regression analysis with 5% significance. No effects of the treatments on the performance variables were observed in the initial stage of creation. With this result, at twenty-one days old, we observed the potential for substitution of growth promoters for powdered ginger. The inclusion of up to 1% of powdered ginger did not affect bird performance providing results similar to positive control treatments with growth promoter.

Background: Coccidiosis is the infectious disease with the greatest economic impact in poultry production. Additionally, chemotherapeutic growth promoters are being substituted for safer alternative strategies. Objective: To evaluate the effect of feeding oleoresins from chili pepper (Capsicum annuum) and turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) on the performance, survival rate, and the Productive Efficiency Index of broilers from 1 to 21d challenged by Eimeria sp. Methods: A total of 700 male 1-dayold chicks (Cobb 500) challenged with Eimeria sp, were assigned to a completely randomized design with four treatments: (1) negative control diet, without anticoccidial agent or growth promoters; (2) control diet+0.05% salinomycin; (3) negative control diet+100g/ton; and (4) negative control diet +140g/ton of test product (Curcuma longa L. plus Capsicum annuum oleoresins). Results: Body weight, weight gain, feed conversion and Productive Efficiency Index did not differ between broilers fed anticoccidial chemotherapeutics and oleoresins. In addition, there was no difference in feed intake and survival rate between dietary treatments. Conclusion: Broilers supplemented with chili pepper and turmeric oleoresins from 1 to 21d present similar body weight, weight gain, feed conversion, and Productive Efficiency Index compared to broilers supplemented with chemotherapeutic anticoccidials without affecting feed intake or survival rate.

Garlic (Allium sativum) is a popular spice in Bangladesh. Its beneficial effect as growth promoter in poultry has not been studied. Broilers were grouped into four: T1 (1% garlic), T2 (2% garlic), Pc (ciprofloxacin positive control) and Nc (negative control). Aqueous extract of garlic (1% and 2%) was administered with drinking water. T1 group (1%) showed better performance with regard to body weight gain than T2 (2%), positive and negative control. In T1 group, significant difference was observed in terms of live body weight gain and dressed weight but no significant differences in feed conversion ratio, offal’s weight and in blood parameters. It is suggested that 1% aqueous extraction of garlic improves growth and carcass qualities in Broilers.Bangl. vet. 2015. Vol. 32, No. 1, 1-6

O principal objetivo deste trabalho foi o de estudar a influência da utilização do halquinol (uma mistura de 5,7-dicloro-8-quinolinol, 5-cloro-8 quinolinol e 7-cloro-8-quinolinol) como promotor de crescimento, bem como sua possível ação no controle da coccidiose, em frangos de corte. Foram analisados parâmetros como ganho de peso, conversão alimentar, viabilidade e índice de eficiência produtiva. Foram constituídos 6 tratamentos, num total de 2880 aves criadas em piso, com diferentes níveis da droga na ração. Observou-se que a utilização do halquinol como promotor de crescimento não alterou significativamente (P>0.05) o ganho de peso, a conversão alimentar e a viabilidade das aves. A associação do halquinol a outros promotores de crescimento também não influenciou positivamente (P>0.05) os parâmetros zootécnicos avaliados. No segundo estudo, num experimento em gaiolas procurou-se avaliar a ação do halquinol no controle da coccidiose, comparando-se a ação de 30 g/ton do produto associado ou não ao coccidiostático maduramicina frente à inoculação de diferentes Eimerias. Foram utilizadas 40 aves criadas em gaiolas que receberam um inoculo misto de E.tenella, E. acervulina e E. máxima, sendo então realizado escore de lesões. Como resultado observou-se que a utilização do halquinol potencializa a ação da maduramicina no controle da E. acervulina, não apresentando entretanto qualquer efeito no controle da E. máxima e E.tenella. Utilization of halquinol as a growth promoter and coadjuvanto on coccidiosis control in broilers Abstract The main purpose of this stud was to invetigate the clorade-8-hidroxiquinolim (halquinol) drug influence as a promoter of growth, as well as it´s possible action in the coccidiosis control in chicken for human consumption. Some parameters have been analised such as weight gain, food conversion ,viability and produtive efficiency index. Six treatments were undertaken, on a total of 2880 birds raised on flat surface with different levels of drug in then feed .It was noted that the utilization of halquinol as a promoter of growth didn´t alter significantly (P>0.05) the weight gain, the feed conversion and the viability of the birds. The addition of halquinol to other growth promoters also didn´t influence positively (P>0.05) the evalueted zootechnical parameters. In the second study, during a bird cage experiment there was no attempt to evaluate the halquinol action in the control of coccidiosis by comparing the of 30 g/ton of clorade-8-hidroxiquinolin (halquinol) associade or not with maduramicine coccidiostatic during the Eimerias innoculation. There were utilize 40 cages raised birds wich received a mixed E. tennela, E. acervulina e E. maxima inoculum, and was performed a lesion count. As a result it was observed that the utilization of halquinol potencializes the maduramicine action in the control of E. acervulina; however no showing any effect in the control of E.maxima and E. tenella.
