Abstract

A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens on adverse effects of aflatoxin B1 in broiler chickens. A total of 480 1-d-old broiler Ross 308 (male and female) were completely randomized disgine with a 2× 2 × 2 factorial arrangements (sex and feed additives) with 4 replicates of 15 birds. Factors includes sex (male and female); probiotic (control, 108 cfu/mL B. amyloliquefaciens); aflatoxin (control, 500 AFB1 µg/kg), Performance, the activity of liver enzymes, immune and some blood parameters were not affected by sex (p> 0.05). Body weight and feed intake of aflatoxin B1 group were significantly decreased compared other (p < 0.05). There was no significantly drffenece in feed conversion ratio compared with other groups during total period (p>0.05). Activity of liver enzymes including aspartate amino transferase, alanine amino transferase, alkaline phosphatase and lactate dehydrogenase were significantly increased in aflatoxin B1 group (p < 0.05). The counts of red blood cells and withe blood cells, hematocrite and hemoglobin percentages were significantly decreased in aflatoxin B1 group compared with other (p < 0.05). The aflatoxin B1 group has shown the lowest of antibody production against newcastle disease and sheep blood red cell also, the lowest of skin thickness in responding to phytohaemagglutinin (p < 0.05).
In conclusion, the supplementation of B. amyloliquefaciens to contaminated food could be improved performance and increased the activity of liver enzyme and immune response in broilers.
