Ychwanegu Tag | Crynodeb: | The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of treating shallow well water with chlorine and Ablandox® on intestinal health and productive parameters in Cobb 500 broiler chickens. Two treatments were designed: untreated well water (T0) and water treated with chlorine and Thiosulfate-EDTA (Ablandox®, T1). The study was conducted with 100 birds, distributed in 5 replicates with 10 experimental units each. The analyses included physicochemical characteristics (hardness, dissolved solids, nitrites, color, conductivity, and pH) and microbiological parameters (coliforms, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas spp., and Salmonella spp.), intestinal health (villi and crypts), productivity (weight, feed conversion ratio, feed intake, carcass yield), and cost-benefit. A completely randomized design was used, and as a result, T1 significantly reduced coliforms from 240,000 to 25,000 CFU/mL. In addition, dissolved solids were reduced (from 352 mg/L to 343 mg/L), total hardness decreased (from 210 mg/L to 205 mg/L), and pH remained within an adequate range (7.16). No changes were observed in intestinal villi (p > 0.05). In terms of productivity, T1 recorded significantly higher weight gain (3.23 kg vs. 3.11 kg; p < 0.05), and feed conversion differed between groups (p < 0.05). Cumulative feed intake was 5.04 kg for T0 and 4.78 kg for T1, and carcass yield was 79.19% for T1 and 78.18% for T0, with no significant differences (p > 0.05). T1 showed higher economic profitability at $1.48, compared to $1.36 in T0. In conclusion, this treatment is a viable option to improve water quality in poultry production. |
