Abstract:   (2387 Views)
This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of thyme alcoholic extract on reducing the effects of Aflatoxin and Ochratoxin on broiler chicks. In this experiment, 384 male Ross-308 broiler chicks were used in a completely randomized design with factorial arrangement 2 × 2 × 8 with 8 treatments, 4 replicates and 12 birds per replicate. The treatments were: 1: base diet (control), 2: basal diet + ppb 500 Aflatoxin, 3: basal diet + ppb 250, Ochratoxin, 4: basal diet + 0.3 percent thyme extract, 5: base diet + 500 ppb Aflatoxin with ppb 250 Ochratoxin, 6: Base diet + ppb 250 Ochratoxin with 0.3% thyme extract, 7: Base diet + 500 ppb Aflatoxin with 0.3% Thyme extract, 8: Base diet + 500 ppb Aflatoxin with 250 ppb of Ochratoxin with 0.3% Thyme extract. The results showed that adding alcoholic extract of thyme plant to broiler chickens diet would improve functional characteristics compared to controlled treatment, and that the chickens receiving alcoholic extract with Aflatoxin and Ochratoxin had better performance than Aflatoxin and Ochratoxin chicks they showed up. Meanwhile, the addition of alcoholic extract to broiler chicken diets did not show a significant difference compared to control of concentration of blood parameters, liver enzymes and internal organs weight. However, chickens that received Aflatoxin and Ochratoxin in the thyme alcoholic extract improved the concentration of blood parameters, liver enzymes, and their internal organs weight compared to those that received only Aflatoxin and Ochratoxin in the diet.
