Abstract:

The study was designed to investigate the effects of Clostridium butyrate and Lactobacillus on immune performance,serum antioxidant indexes and intestinal function in young pigeons.384 female young pigeons about 80 days old were randomly divided into 4 groups with 6 replicates per group and 16 young pigeons per replicate.Among them,group A was fed with basal diet,and groups B,C and D were added 1×108 CFU/kg Clostridium butyrate,5×109 CFU/kg Lactobacillus,5×109 CFU/kg Lactobacillus+1×108 CFU/kg Clostridium butyrate in the basal diet,respectively.The preliminary trial period was 7 d and the trial period was 28 d.The results showed that:①Compared with group A,the spleen index and bursa of Fabricius index in groups B,C,D were increased but the difference was not significant (P>0.05).②Compared with group A,the serum CAT,SOD,T-AOC and GSH-Px of young pigeons in groups B,C,D were significantly increased (P<0.05),the content of MDA were significantly decreased (P<0.05);Compared with groups B,C,the serum CAT,T-AOC and GSH-Px of group D were significantly increased (P<0.05).③Compared with group A,the activity of trypsin in duodenum of groups B and D were significantly increased (P<0.05),and the activity of lipase of group D was significantly increased (P<0.05).④Compared with group A,the duodenal crypt depth in group D was significantly decreased (P<0.05),The ratio of villus height to crypt depth of duodenum in groups B and D,and that of ileum in group D were significantly increased (P<0.05).In conclusion,adding Clostridium butyrate and Lactobacillus to diets could improve the intestinal morphology,increase the activity of intestinal digestive enzymes and enhance the serum antioxidation ability of young pigeons,thereby enhance the immunity of young pigeons.
