| Abstract | Spent coffee ground extracts (SCGE) are a rich source of bioactive compounds, such as chlorogenic acid and melanoidins, and can be a suitable additive to improve animal production performance. The present experiment aimed to evaluate the efficacy of spent coffee ground extracts (SCGE) on growth performance, blood chemistry, gut microbiology, and intestinal morphology in broiler chickens. Five hundred one-day-old Ross 308 broiler chicks were randomly allocated into five dietary groups, each with 10 replicates of 10 birds. A basal diet without antibiotics served as the negative control (NC). The basal diet was supplemented with antibiotic growth promoters, which served as a positive control (PC). The NC diets were supplemented with SCGE at 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 g/kg feed, respectively. The results indicated that SCGE and PC had a higher final weight and average daily gain (ADG) than NC (P<0.05). All SCGE groups had better feed conversion rates (FCR) than the PC and NC (P<0.05). The amount of Lactobacillus spp. in the cecum of SCGE1.0 and SCGE2.0 was greater than (P<0.05) PC, with the NC and SCGE0.5 having the lowest (P<0.05). Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity of SCGE0.5, SCGE1.0 and SCGE2.0 were lower than the NC (P<0.05). The aspartate transaminase (AST) activity of SCGE2.0 was the lowest (P<0.05). The villus height and crypt depth of the jejunum of all SCGE groups were greater than that of those of NC and PC. In conclusion, SCGE supplementation at 2.0 g/kg diet improved the final weight, ADG, FCR, and microbial balance. Therefore, it is considered to have the potential to replace antibiotics in broiler chicken feed. |
