Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary resveratrol on growth performance, blood biochemical parameters, immunoglobulin, and blood antioxidant activity in broiler chicks. Three hundred twenty one-day old broiler chicks were divided 8 treatments (C(-), basal diet; C(+), basal diet with antibiotics; DL-${\alpha}$-tocopherol 20 IU; DL-${\alpha}$-tocopherol 200 IU; resveratrol 20 ppm; resveratrol 200 ppm; methylated resveratrol 20 ppm; methylated resveratrol 200 ppm) with 4 replicates and 10 birds per replicate. Birds were reared for 35 days, and, at the age of 35 days, eight birds of average weight from each replicate were selected for blood samples collection. There were no significant differences on feed intake and feed conversion ratio. But final body weight and weight gain in antibiotics, resveratrol and methylated resveratrol treatments were significantly higher than no-antibiotics and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol treatments (P<0.05). There were no significant differences on carcass rate and relative organ weights among treatments, however, weights of liver and bursa of februcius in antibiotics, resveratrol and methylated resveratrol treatment were lower than other treatments. Weight of pancreas was high in resveratrol and methylated treatment. On the cecal microflora (total microbes, Coliform bacteria, Salmonella spp., and lactic acid bacteria), these in resveratrol and methylated resveratrol treatments didn't show the differences compared with those in no-antibiotics, antibiotics, and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol treatments. In the serum, there were no significant differences on creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), total protein, albumin, globulin, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) among treatments, though globulin contents of reseveratrol 200 ppm and methylated resveratrol 20 ppm treatments decreased compared to those of other treatments. Immunoglobulin (IgA, IgG and IgM) were significantly decreased in antibiotics and resveratrol treatments compared to that of no-antibiotics and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol treatments (P<0.05). Superoxide dismutase (SOD) like activity tended to increase in resveratrol groups (P<0.05), however, there was no significant difference on malondiakdehyde (MDA) content among treatments. In conclusion, these results showed that resveratrol derived from mulberry can be used as alternative of antibiotics through improvement of broiler's performance and maintain of health.
본 연구는 육계사료 내 resveratrol의 첨가가 육계의 생산성, 도체율 및 조직 중량, 혈액 생화학적 성상, 면역 및 혈액 항산화 활성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 수행하였다. 공시계는 1일령 육계 수평아리 (Ross ${\times}$ Ross 308) 320수를 선별하여 육계초기(0~3주령)와 육계후기(3~5주령)의 35일 동안 시험을 실시하였다. 시험설계는 8처리구(C(-), 대조군; C(+), 항생제 처리군; ${\alpha}$-tocopherol 20 IU 처리군; ${\alpha}$-tocopherol 200 IU 처리군; resveratrol 20 ppm 처리군; resveratrol 200 ppm 처리군; methylated resveratrol 20 ppm 처리군; methylated resveratrol 200 ppm 처리군)를 처리구당 4반복, 반복당 10수씩으로 나누어 완전임의 배치하였다. 육계의 사료섭취량과 사료요구율은 처리구 사이에서 유의차가 없었으나, 종료체중과 증체량은 항생제와 resveratrol 및 methylated reveratrol 처리구에서 무항생제와 ${\alpha}$-tocopherol 처리구에 비해 유의적으로 높았다(P<0.05). 도체율과 조직 중량은 처리구간 유의적인 차이가 없었으나, 간과 F낭 무게는 항생제와 resveratrol 20 ppm 및 methylated resveratrol 처리구에서 낮게 나타났으며, 췌장의 무게는 resvertrol과 methylated resveratrol 처리구에서 높게 나타났다. 맹장 미생물 균총(total microbes, Coliform bacteria, Salmonella, lactic acid bacteria)은 resveratrol과 methylated resveratrol 처리구가 무항생제와 항생제 처리구 및 ${\alpha}$-tocopherol 처리구와 비교하여 차이를 보이지 않았다. 육계 혈액 내 creatinine, BUN, total protein, albumin, AST 그리고 ALT는 처리구 사이에서 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으며, globulin 함량은 resveratrol 200 ppm과 methylated resveratrol 20 ppm 처리구에서 무항생제 처리구에 비해 낮은 수치를 보였으나, 처리구 사이에 유의차는 없었다(P<0.05). IgA, IgG와 IgM는 항생제 처리구와 reveratrol 처리구에서 무항생제와 ${\alpha}$-tocopherol 처리구에 비해 유의적으로 감소하였다(P<0.05). SOD 유사 활성은 resveratrol 처리구에서 다른 처리구들에 비해 높게 나타났으며(P<0.05), MDA 함량은 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 따라서 뽕나무 유래 resveratrol은 육계 생산성 개선 및 건강성 유지를 통해 천연 항생제 대체물질로 이용 가능성이 시사된다.
