Suplementación con aceite esencial de tomillo (Thymus vulgaris L.): Impacto en el desarrollo, en la calidad de los huevos y en el contenido mineral en heces y suero sanguíneo de perdices de puesta
Resumen
Objetivo del estudio: Este estudio evaluó el impacto de la suplementación dietética con aceite esencial de tomillo (Thymus vulgaris L.) (TEO) en la dieta de perdices de puesta (Alectoris chukar) a nivel del desarrollo productivo, de la calidad de los huevos, y del contenido mineral en heces y suero sanguíneo.
Área de estudio: Turquía.
Material y métodos: Noventa perdices ponedoras de 32 semanas se dividieron aleatoriamente en cinco grupos; dentro de cada grupo había seis réplicas con tres aves cada una. El diseño experimental incluyó un grupo de control que recibió una dieta basal (0 mg/kg de TEO) y cuatro grupos de tratamiento con dietas suplementadas con TEO a 50, 100, 150 y 200 mg/kg durante 56 días.
Resultados principales: Los resultados no mostraron diferencias significativas en los parámetros de desarrollo productivo entre los grupos experimentales (p>0,05). Sin embargo, la producción de huevos y la masa de huevos fueron significativamente mayores en el grupo que había recibido 50 mg/kg de TEO en comparación con el control (p<0,01). Además, el grosor de la cáscara del huevo y el índice de yema mejoraron en el grupo de 50 mg/kg en comparación con el de 100 mg/kg (p<0,05). Las composiciones minerales sérica y fecal no difirieron significativamente entre los grupos experimentales (p>0,05).
Aspectos destacados de la investigación: Estos resultados sugieren que la incorporación de TEO a 50 mg/kg en la dieta de perdices puede ser óptima, ya que concentraciones mayores podrían interferir potencialmente con la absorción de nutrientes y afectar negativamente a los rendimientos y las características de los huevos de las perdices. No obstante, se necesitan más investigaciones para determinar los mecanismos de acción de los ingredientes activos de la TEO en la alimentación de las perdices.
