Resumo
Os objetivos neste experimento foram avaliar os efeitos da inclusão de extrato de orégano (EO) como aditivo promotor de crescimento nas rações sobre o desempenho, o sistema imune (peso e tamanho da bursa de Fabricius, peso do baço e do timo), as características anatomo-fisiológicas do trato gastrointestinal (altura de vilosidade, profundidade de cripta e suas relações), a microbiologia do ceco e o pH do duodeno e do ceco de frangos de corte. Foram utilizados 1.440 pintos de corte machos Cobb 500, em duas fases de criação (1 a 21 e 1 a 42 dias de idade), distribuídos em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com seis tratamentos e oito repetições de 30 aves. Utilizou-se ração basal (RB) para as três fases de criação (1 a 21, 22 a 35 e 36 a 42 dias de idade), constituindo os seguintes tratamentos: T1 - RB; T2 - RB com antibiótico (25 ppm de bacitracina de zinco); T3 - RB com 0,025% EO; T4 - RB com 0,050% EO; T5 - RB com 0,075% EO; e T6 -RB com 0,100% EO. Observou-se que os tratamentos não influenciaram o desempenho e os pHs dos conteúdos duodenal e cecal das aves nas duas fases de criação. As variáveis de imunidade e avaliação anatomo-fisiológica do trato gastrointestinal aos 21 dias não apresentaram diferenças. Apenas o peso do baço e a altura de vilosidade aos 42 dias de idade foram influenciados pelos tratamentos. Houve redução no número de bactérias no ceco das aves à medida que se elevou o conteúdo do extrato de orégano nas rações, indicando que houve ação antimicrobiana dos componentes deste extrato. Na condição em que foi realizado o experimento, o uso do extrato de orégano como aditivo promotor de crescimento não ocasionou efeito diferente dos demais tratamentos (antibiótico e testemunha).
The objectives of this trial were to evaluate the efficacy of oregan extract (OE), as growth promoter, in the diets, on performance, immune system (bursa Fabricius weight and volume, spleen weight and thymus weight), anatomic-physiological parameters of the gastrointestinal tract (villy height, crypta depth and villy:crypta ratio), caecum microbiological analysis, and duodenum and caecum pH. One thousand and fourty male Cobb 500 chicks, in two growing phases (1 to 21 and 1 to 42 days old) were randomly assigned to six treatments and eight replicates of 30 broilers. The basal diet (BD) was fed during the three phases (1 to 21, 22 to 35 and 36 to 42 days old), according to the following treatments: T1 - BD, T2 - BD with antibiotic (25 ppm zinc bacitracin), T3 - BD with 0.025% OE, T4 - BD with 0.050% OE, T5 - BD with 0.075% OE, and T6 - BD with 0.100% OE. No effect of treatments on broiler performance and duodenum and caecum pH in both phases was observed. The immunity system and anatomic-physiological parameters of gastrointestinal tract were not affected by the treatments, during the first phase. At 42 days old, only the spleen weight and villy height were affected by treatments. Decreasing effect on the number of bacteriums in caecum as the dietary level of oregan extract increased showed the antimicrobian effect of oregan extract. Based on these results, it is possible to conclude that the use of oregan extract as growth promoter did not differ from the other treatments (antibiotic and control).
