Biological suppression of aflatoxicosis in Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) by dietary addition of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae).

摘要: Abstract The amelioration of aflatoxicosis in Japanese quails was examined by the dietary addition live yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae; SCE). Yeast incorporated into diet at 1 g kg−1was evaluated for its ability to reduce deleterious effects 2·5 mg total aflatoxin ( AF ; 82·30 per cent AFB 1 , 2·06 2, 7·68 AFG 1and 7·96 2) kg−1diet on growing quail chicks from 10 days 45 age. Forty 10-day-old were assigned 2×2 factorial arrangement treatments (control, SCE plus ) each consisting quails. performances birds evaluated. treatment significantly and dramatically decreased food consumption body-weight gain first week onwards. significant adverse effect conversion ratio also determined end experiments. -containing reduced these consumption, ratio. Compared controls, cumulative body weight 37 among consuming without but increased 15 fed . Interestingly, single inclusion -free provided improvements all investigated growth (approximately 40 cent) compared controls.
