Abstract

The natural herbal antimicrobial additive, Flavo-$SK^{TM}$, was developed by Zoonosis Research Center of Wonkwang University. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of Flavo-$SK^{TM}$ on the health status and performance of growing chickens. This study was conducted on the growing chickens (n=20,000) for 31 days in a growing chickens husbandry. The animals were divided with two groups; Flavo-$SK^{TM}$ treated group (n=10,000) and commercial diet feeding group (n=10,000). The Flavo-$SK^{TM}$ treated animals had provided with commercial diet adding the Flavo-$SK^{TM}$ as 0.29%. During the study period, we compared clinical signs, weight increase rate, diet consumption amount, gross finding, necropsy findings and histopathological findings between the treated group and non treated group. As the results of this clinical trial, the natural herbal antimicrobial additive, Flavo-$SK^{TM}$, showed the effects on disease reduction. It is suggested that Flavo-$SK^{TM}$ has the antimicrobial effects.

천연물 유래 항생제 대체 사료첨가제 Flavo-$SK^{TM}$은 원광대학교 인수공통감염병연구센터에서 1,000종 이상의 천연물로부터 효능평가를 거쳐 개발되었다. 본 연구는 육계 농장에서 대규모 임상 효능평가를 통한 Flavo-$SK^{TM}$의 항균 효과 규명과 항생제 대체 효과를 알아보고자 수행되었다. 20,000 마리의 병아리를 Flavo-$SK^{TM}$ 투여군과 비투여군 2 그룹으로 나누어 31일 동안 육계농장에서 연구가 수행되었다. Flavo-$SK^{TM}$ 투여군에는 항생제가 없는 사료에 Flavo-$SK^{TM}$를 0.29% 배합하여 급여하였고 비투여군은 항생제 포함된 일반 사료를 급여하였다. 연구기간 동안 사료섭취량, 체중, 임상증상을 분석하고 시험종료일에 부검하여 육안검사와 미생물학적 검사 및 병리조직학적 검사를 수행하였다. 연구결과 천연물 유래 항생제 대체 사료첨가제 Flavo-$SK^{TM}$은 육계에 항균효과를 가진 항생제 대체 사료첨가제로서 효과적인 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
