| Popis: | ABSTRACTThe use of anticoccidial drugs in broilers has led to concerns, especially the drug residues in meat and the occurrence of drug resistance. This study aimed to extract, standardize, quantify and utilize mangosteen pericarp extract (MPE) containing α-mangostin as a replacement for anticoccidial drugs in broiler feed. The pericarp was acquired from different areas of Thailand and used for extraction and standardization. The antioxidant activity of the extract was evaluated. The extract was formulated into granules, and the flowability and stability of the granules were assessed. The MPE formulation was added to the broiler feed and then fed to the broilers that were infected with Eimeria tenella. The growth rate and intestinal lesion score (post-mortem) of the broilers were assessed. The pericarp obtained passed the identification test and phytochemical analyses. The active compound, α-mangostin, was best extracted using 95% ethanol. The MPE had superior antioxidant activity compared to standard antioxidants. Granules of the extract formulated with Avicel® PH102 provided desirable flowability and stability. The broilers fed with the feed containing 500 mg/kg α-mangostin showed a similar growth rate and post-mortem lesion score compared with the control group and those that received feed containing 60 mg/kg salinomycin. Our findings demonstrated that MPE with a high content of the active compound could be developed and used in place of anticoccidial drugs in the broiler feed. |
