| Popis: | The study was conducted to determine the effect of supplementation of the broiler chicken diet with Boswellia serrata resin (BSR) on growth performance, dry matter, organic matter, and energy digestibility, as well as gastrointestinal characteristics, morphology, and microbiota. A total of 200 one-day-old broiler chickens were assigned randomly to 4 treatments with 5 replicate cages of 10 broiler chickens per cage (5 females and 5 males). The experiment lasted 6 wk, and broiler chickens were fed diets containing 0 (control), 3 (BSR3), 4 (BSR4), or 5% Boswellia serrata resin (BSR5). There was no effect of the treatments on growth performance. The proportion of the proventriculus in the metabolic weight was lower (quadratic, P P P P P Escherichia coli and an increase in the count of Lactobacillus and Enterococcus were observed (control vs. BSR diets and quadratic, P Clostridium spp. strains was observed as well (control vs. BSR diets and linear, P Boswellia serrata can be considered as a good feed additive, which can have positive effects on intestinal microbiota and the gastrointestinal tract morphology of broiler chickens. |
