Abstract

The aim of this research was to study the effect of feeding fermented rapeseed meal on the performance and gut health of commercial broilers. An experiment of 42 days was conducted on day-old chicks to study the effect of raw (RSM) and fermented (FRSM) rapeseed meal on growth performance, and gut health of broilers. A mixed liquid culture of Enterococcus faecium and Lactobacillus plantarum were used for fermenting rapeseed meal. Birds were randomly allotted to 7 dietary groups namely 5%, 10%, 15% RSM and 5%, 10% and 15% FRSM groups and these were compared to maize-soyabean based control group. Body weights and feed intake were estimated weekly. On 42nd day, 1 bird from each replicate was sacrificed for histomorphological studies and enumeration of total bacteria, Lactobacillus, Escherichia coli in the gut. Significantly higher (P<0.05) body weight was seen in 5% FRSM group when compared to control and raw rapeseed meal fed groups while the feed intake and FCR remained unchanged. Significant differences (P < 0.05) were observed in duodenal villus height, crypt depth, the villus height to crypt depth ratio (VH:CD), and gut Lactobacilli counts in birds fed diets supplemented with FRSM at all the inclusion levels. Conclusively, fermented rapeseed meal could be included in diets upto 15% without any adverse effects on performance and there was improved Lactobacillus count in gut, villus height and crypt depth in duodenum of broilers with fermented RSM at this level.
