Decreased Triglyceride and Cholesterol Levels in Serum, Liver and Breast Muscle in Broiler by the Supplementation of Dietary Codonopsis lanceolata Root

摘要: Effects of the dietary supplementation Codonopsis lanceolata root on triglyceride and cholesterol levels in serum, liver, breast muscle bile male Cobb×Cobb chicks were investigated. The (15-42 days old) fed diets supplemented with 0, 0.25 0.5% root. No differences observed body weight, feed conversion ratio, gall bladder weight or abdominal fat deposition among control group two treatment groups. Liver weights higher a diet than those (p<0.05). However, serum both glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) pyruvic (GPT) not different three Broiler either 0.25% showed decreased triglyceride, total low density lipoprotein compared to Supplementation liver Biliary increased by 15% root, suggesting that biliary excretion had been elevated In conclusion, these results indicate can decrease broilers.
