Effects of Different Oligosaccharides on Growth Performance and Intestinal Function in Broilers.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of different oligosaccharides on the growth performance and intestinal function in broilers.

Methods

A total of 360 1-day-old yellow-feather chickens were randomly divided into 5 groups and fed with a basal diet supplemented with 50 mg/kg chlortetracycline (ANT), 3 g/kg isomalto-oligosaccharide (IMO), 3 g/kg raffinose oligosaccharide (RFO), and 30 mg/kg chitooligosaccharide (COS). The experiment lasted for 56 days, with 1-28 days as the starter phase and 29-56 days as the grower phase.

Results

The results showed that dietary supplementation with RFO and COS significantly improved average daily gain (ADG) and average daily feed intake (ADFI) (p < 0.05). Relative to the control group, diets supplemente
