| dc.description | Meat and other animal products can play a significant role in alleviating the
nutritional status of the people. Meat is an excellent source of high quality and
readily digestible protein and good sources of micronutrients (Layrisse et al.,
1990; Bender, 1992). Over the last century, the amount and proportion of
animal fat in human diets has increased in many societies. Now-a- days, people
are more concern about the nutritional quality and related possible health
hazards of dietary components. Most of the people restrict eating broiler meat
due to the fear of having high cholesterol content in it (Abeywardena, 2003).
This situation has led to missing of an excellent source of nutrients in the diet
thus causing protein malnutrition in Bangladesh. Therefore, it is a timely need
to reveal measures to produce broiler meat with low cholesterol level as it will
make broiler meat more attractive to the people and hence broiler meat
consumption could be increased. A significant effect on reducing the protein
malnutrition problem as well as to reduce the health hazards due to consumption
of broiler meat. One way of lowering broiler meat cholesterol is to incorporate
cholesterol reducing factors into the diets of broiler. Although several factors,
such as life style, a diet rich in cholesterol, age and hypertension, have been
reported to cause heart failure (Schaefer et al. 1995). High levels of cholesterol,
particularly LDL cholesterol, are mainly responsible for hypercholesterolemia
(Krieger, 1998). Increased generation of oxidized LDL is a major factor in the
vascular damage associated with high cholesterol levels (Pritchard et al, 1995).
Hence, the inhibition of oxidative stress under hypercholesterolemic conditions
is considered to be an important therapeutic approach and efforts have been
made to identify the antioxidative functions of various medicinal plants (Hu et
al, 2006; Tomotake et al, 2006; Visavadiya and Narasimhacharya, 2007). | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | The use of antibiotics as feed additives is hazardous due to cross-resistance
amongst pathogens and residues in tissues. Natural feed additives of plants
origin are generally believed to be safe, healthier, less subject to hazards
and not accompanied by problems than synthetic feed additives. This study
was conducted in order to investigate the effect of buckwheat supplemented diet
on lipid profile and growth performance of broiler during 15 July 2012 to 24
August 2012. Birds were divided into 5 experimental treatments of 24 birds on
each. Each treatment was composed on 3 replications with 8 birds in each
replication. The first two control groups were fed with commercial and own
control diet, respectively. The rest three treatments were fed with 10%, 20% and
30% buckwheat supplemented diet by replacing soybean meal and soybean oil for
4 (four) weeks. Data regarding body weight along with feed intake and mortality
rate was taken at regular interval. Blood samples from all groups were collected
for two times (at 15 days interval) from wing vein for lipid profile studies. Total
cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein levels were determined. The
study showed that the diet supplemented with buckwheat seed powder had
significant effects on broilers weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio.
However, the 30% buckwheat supplemented diet significantly (p<0.05) decreased
the levels of serum cholesterol, triglycerides and increased the high density
lipoprotein compared to the control birds. The 30% buckwheat supplemented diet
also had bird mortality. These findings recommended that 30% buckwheat
supplemented diet could be considered as an alternative natural growth promoter
to hazardous synthetic antibiotics for safe poultry meat production. | en_US |
