- Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of MBV on gut microbiota in broilers. MBV can reduce the oxidative stress and inflammatory response. Two hundred and eighty-eight Arbor Acres were randomly allotted to 6 dietary treatments (four pens/treatment and 12 birds/pen). The grouping is including control, positive control (AGP), 0.5% algae (AL), 1.0% algae (AH), 0.5% MBV (MBVL) and 1.0% MBV (MBVH). The results showed that survival rate, BW, ADG and feed efficiency did not have significant difference among the groups. Treatment of 1.0% MBV containing algae increase the length of villi in duodenum, jejunum and ileum. The data of 16S NGS analysis in cecum microbiota indicated that the proportion of Lactobacillus genera were obviously elevated by MB V, especially in L. salivarius. The level of circulatory IL-6 in MBVL and MBVH was significantly lower than AGP treatment. In conclusion, MBV containing algae can improve gut health and attenuated inflammatory response in broilers.
