Effects of Chlorogenic Acid on Performance, Anticoccidial Indicators, Immunity, Antioxidant Status, and Intestinal Barrier Function in Coccidia-Infected Broilers

The effects of chlorogenic acid (CGA) on growth performance, anticoccidial indicators (oocysts per gram of excreta, cecal lesion score, and bloody diarrhea score), immunity, antioxidant status, and intestinal barrier function in coccidia-infected broilers were investigated. A total of 240 one-day-ol...

description The effects of chlorogenic acid (CGA) on growth performance, anticoccidial indicators (oocysts per gram of excreta, cecal lesion score, and bloody diarrhea score), immunity, antioxidant status, and intestinal barrier function in coccidia-infected broilers were investigated. A total of 240 one-day-old Arbor Acres broilers were randomly divided into four groups with six replicates of ten broilers each for 42 days. Four treatments included control diet (non-infected control, NC), control diet +<i>Eimeria</i> infection (infected control, IC), control diet +0.5 g/kg CGA + <i>Eimeria</i> infection (CGA0.5), and control diet +1 g/kg CGA + <i>Eimeria</i> infection (CGA1). At day 14, each broiler in IC, CGA0.5, and CGA1 groups was orally inoculated with 1 mL saline containing 4 × 10<sup>5</sup> sporulated oocysts. The results showed that the CGA1 group increased the average daily gain by 12.57% (<i>p</i> < 0.001) and decreased the feed/gain ratio (<i>p</i> = 0.010) and mortality (<i>p</i> = 0.030) by 13.00% and 77.76%, respectively, of broilers from 14 to 42 days compared with the IC group. The CGA1 group decreased the oocysts per gram of excreta (<i>p</i> < 0.001) and bloody diarrhea score (<i>p</i> = 0.001) compared with the IC group. The CGA0.5 and CGA1 groups increased total antioxidant capacity (<i>p</i> < 0.001) at day 21 and villus height (<i>p</i> < 0.001) in the duodenum and jejunum at day 42, and decreased the levels of interleukin 6 (IL-6) (<i>p</i> = 0.002), malondialdehyde (MDA) (<i>p</i> < 0.001), <i>D</i>-lactic acid (<i>p</i> < 0.001), and diamine oxidase (DAO) (<i>p</i> < 0.001) at day 21 and the levels of MDA (<i>p</i> < 0.001) and <i>D</i>-lactic acid (<i>p</i> = 0.003) at day 42 compared with the IC group. In the CGA1 group, villus height in the duodenum (<i>p</i> < 0.001) and jejunum (<i>p</i> = 0.017) increased at day 21 and in the ileum (<i>p</i> < 0.001) at day 42, and the level of DAO (<i>p</i> < 0.001) decreased at day 42 compared with the IC group. Broilers in the IC group had a higher IL-6 level (<i>p</i> = 0.048) at day 42 and lower IL-10 (<i>p</i> = 0.027) and immunoglobulin A (<i>p</i> = 0.042) levels at day 21, and IL-10 level (<i>p</i> = 0.017) at day 42 than those in the NC group, while no significant differences were observed among the NC, CGA0.5, and CGA1 groups. In conclusion, dietary supplementation with 1 g/kg CGA improved growth performance, immunity, antioxidant status, and intestinal barrier function in coccidia-infected broilers.
