ABSTRACT: Anti-interleukin (IL)-10 may preserve broiler performance during coccidiosis by diminishing Eimeria spp. host-evasion but has not been evaluated during secondary Clostridium perfringens challenge (necrotic enteritis). Early Salmonella Typhimurium inoculation is implemented in some models to improve repeatability—a potential confounder due to Salmonella using similar IL-10 host evasion pathways. The objective was to evaluate performance and disease outcomes in broilers fed anti-IL-10 during necrotic enteritis challenge ± S. Typhimurium. Three 42 d replicate studies in wire-floor cages (32 cages/replicate) were conducted with Ross 308 chicks assigned to diets ± 0.03% anti-IL-10 for 25 d before moving to floor pens for the study remainder. In replicates 1 and 2, 640 chicks were placed at hatch (20/cage) and inoculated with sterile saline ± 1 × 108 colony forming units (CFU) S. Typhimurium. Replicate 3 placed 480 chicks (15/cage) at hatch. On d 14, S. Typhimurium-inoculated chicks (replicates 1 and 2) or those designated for challenge (replicate 3) were inoculated with 15,000 sporulated Eimeria maxima M6 oocysts. On d 18 and 19, half the E. maxima-challenged chicks were gavaged with 1 × 108 CFU C. perfringens. Body weight (BW) and feed intake were measured throughout, while 6 chicks/ treatment were scored for jejunal lesions at 7 and 3 d postinoculation (pi) with E. maxima and C. perfringens, respectively. Oocyst shedding was measured at 8 and 4 dpi with E. maxima and C. perfringens, respectively. Performance and oocyst shedding were analyzed with diet and challenge fixed effects (SAS 9.4), whereas lesion scores and mortalities were analyzed by ordinal logistic regression (R 4.2.2; P ≤ 0.05). In replicate 3, no wk 3 feed conversion ratio (FCR) differences were observed between chicks fed anti-IL-10 challenged with E. maxima ± C. perfringens, whereas control-fed chicks had a 50 point less efficient FCR during E. maxima + C. perfringens challenge vs. E. maxima only (P = 0.04). Outcomes suggest anti-IL-10 may preserve bird feed efficiency during necrotic enteritis challenge in models without S. Typhimurium. |
