Abstract

APOLO AREVALO, Guido  and  RODRIGUEZ SALDANA, Diego. Effect of two levels of «laritaco» meal (Vernonanthura patens) on the productive performance and intestinal morphometry in broilers. Rev. investig. vet. Perú [online]. 2021, vol.32, n.2, e18385. ISSN 1609-9117.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15381/rivep.v32i2.18385.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of two levels (0.5 and 1%) of inclusion of «laritaco» meal (Vernonanthura patens) on the productive behavior and intestinal morphometry of broilers. In total, 588 male chicks of the Cobb 500 line were used, distributed in a block design in three treatments with seven repetitions each, considering a group of 28 chickens as an experimental unit. There were no differences between treatments in feed consumption, body weight and feed conversion; however, an increase in the length of the intestine segments was observed, as well as wider intestinal villi and shallower crypts.

Keywords : morphometry; phytobiotics; intestinal villi; Lieberkühn crypts.
