Tartalmi leírás:
Contamination of feed with mycotoxins is a common problem encountered in animal
farming. Mycotoxin exposure can affect adversely the health of animals. In rabbits
caecal fermentation is an essential digestive process being indication of physiological
alterations. Deoxynivalenol (DON) is one of the most frequent contaminants of
grains which affect the growth of monogastric animals. Data about dietary DON
and its effect in rabbits are scarce. Medicinal plants are often used as feed additives
to enhance the performance of the animals. Carduus marianus (milk thistle) is
known for its hepatoprotective and antioxidant effects (among others) but no data
are available about the effect on rabbit caecum. Considering the aforementioned,
the aim of this study was to assess the possible interactive effect of Carduus marianus
and DON on the caecum of growing rabbits. 75 Pannon White rabbits were
reared for six weeks from 35 (after weaning) till 77 days of age. Rabbits received
the following diets: control (C), control with DON (CT), control supplemented with
C. marianus in 0,5% (H1), control supplemented with C. marianus in 0,5% and DON
(H1T), control supplemented with C. marianus in 1% (H2) and control supplemented
with C. marianus in 1% and DON (H2T). On slaughter, caecum was collected for the
analysis of total volatile fatty acids (VFA) and the microbiota of the caecum, pH of
the caecum was also recorded. There was no significant difference in total VFA
concentration or individual VFA. Number of aerobic bacteria significantly differed
among toxin and non-toxin groups. DON affected adversely the number of aerobic
bacteria. An interactive effect of DON and Carduus marianus on E.coli number was
observed. There was no effect on total or individual VFA amounts.
