The aim of this was evaluate the efficacy of lysozyme on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, excreta microflora population, and blood profiles of weanling pigs under Escherichia coli (E. coli) challenge. A total of 30 piglets weaned at 25 days, 7.46 kg body weight, were assigned to three dietary treatments, composed of five replications, two piglets per replication, for 7 days. The dietary treatment groups were negative control (NC; without antibiotics and lysozyme), positive control (PC; NC + antibiotics), lysozyme (NC + 0.1% lysozyme). All piglets were challenged orally with 6 ml suspension, containing E. coli K88 (2 × 10⁹ CFU/mL). Dietary supplementation with lysozyme and PC resulted in no significant differences in average daily gain and gain to feed efficiency. Weanling pigs fed with E. coli challenge with lysozyme and PC treatments had significantly enhanced nutrient retentions of dry matter and energy (p < 0.05); however, there was a tendency to increase nitrogen digestibility. Furthermore, dietary inclusion of lysozyme and antibiotics treatment groups had a beneficial effect on excreta, ileal, and cecal of the fecal microbial population as decreased E. coli (p < 0.05) counts, without effects on lactobacillus counts. A significant effect were observed on a white blood cells, epinephrine and cortisol concentrations were reduced in piglets fed diets containing E. coli challenge with lysozyme and antibiotics supplementation comparison with the NC group. Therefore, the present data indicate that lysozyme in diet could ameliorate the experimental stress response induced by E. coli in piglets by decreasing intestinal E. coli, white blood cells and stress hormones and improving nutrient digestibility.

본 연구는 대사에너지 수준을 달리한 사료에서 복합 효소제의 첨가가 육계의 사양성적, 영양소 소화율, 혈액성상, 장 내 미생물 및 소장 융모에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 실시하였다. 사양시험을 위하여 육계(Ross 308, 1일령) 480수를 공시하여 4처리 8반복, 반복당 15수를 완전임의 배치하였다. 시험기간은 전기 3주(0~21일)와 후기 2주(21~35일)로 나누어 5주간 실시하였다. 처리내용은 사료 내 대사에너지 2수준과 복합효소제(amylase + protease + mannanase + xylanase + phytase) 첨가유무에 따른 $2{\times}2$요인법에 따랐으며, 고에너지(전기 3,060kcal/kg; 후기 3,150kcal/kg) 사료에 복합효소제 무첨가와 첨가(0.05%), 저에너지(전기 3,010kcal/kg; 후기 3,100kcal/kg) 사료에 복합효소제 무첨가와 첨가(0.05%)로 구성하였다. 사양시험 전기간, 증체량과 사료요구율이 복합효소제 첨가구가 무첨가구에 비해 유의적으로 개선되었으나 사료 내 대사에너지 수준간에는 차이가 없었다. 건물, 에너지, 조단백질, 칼슘 및 인에 대한 분 및 회장소화율은 복합효소제 첨가 시 유의적으로 개선되었다. 맹장 및 회장 내 미생물에서는 복합효소제 첨가 시 Lactobacillus spp.는 증가하고 Clostridium spp.이나 Coliform bacteria는 감소하였다. 융모길이와 융모길이와 융와깊이의 비율이 효소제 첨가로 인해 개선되었다. 본 연구의 결과로 미루어 볼 때, 육계사료 내 복합효소제의 첨가는 에너지 수준에 관계없이 육계의 생산성에 도움이 되는 것으로 판단되며 효소제 첨가로 인해 에너지 절약효과를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of using low energy diet with multi-enzymes supplementation on different biological parameters in broilers. Methods: Three hundred Arbor Acres broiler chicks were randomly divided into three groups (Cont, standard metabolizable energy(ME); L-ME, ME reduced by 50 kcal/kg without enzyme; and L-ME-MES, L-ME diet was supplemented with multi-enzymes) with five replicates per group (20 chicks per replicate) at the start of second week. Grower and finisher diets were formulated according to breed specific guide and offered with free access in respective phase (two weeks for grower [8 to 21 d]; two weeks for finisher [22 to 35 d]). External marker method was used to measure the nutrient digestibility. After feeding trial, fifteen birds (one bird per replicate) were selected randomly and slaughtered for samples collection. Results: The results exhibited no effect (p>0.05) of dietary treatments on all parameters of growth performance, carcass traits, relative weight of internal organs except bursa and overall parameters of thigh meat quality. Relative weight of bursa was significantly (p<0.05) higher in L-ME than control. Multi-enzymes supplementation in low-ME diet significantly (p<0.05) improved the breast meat pH 24 h, digestibility of crude protein, duodenum weight and length, jejunal morphology, counts of Lactobacillus spp. and Bifidobacterium spp., lipase and protease activities than control. Jejunum length was increased in both L-ME and L-ME-MES treatments than that of the control (p<0.05). Breast meat cooking loss and color lightness was lower in L-ME (p<0.05) than control. Conclusion: It can therefore be concluded that broilers could be reared on low energy diet with supplementation of multi-enzymes without compromising the growth performance. In addition, it is beneficial for other biological parameters of broilers.
