Efecto de la infusión de ocimum basilicum en los parámetros productivos y control bacteriano en pollos de engorde

The present research was carried at the Santa Inés Farm of the Academic of Agricultural Sciences corresponding to the Technical University of Machala, belonging to the Canton Machala Province El Oro, with the objective of obtaining data on the effect of the infusion of Ocimum basilicum, (Basil) in the productive parameters and bacterial control in chickens. We used 200 chickens from the Cobb 500 line, managed under the rules of poultry production systems in open houses. The experiment lasted 43 days, for which it was divided into 5 groups with 4 replicates each (T1 = Ocimum basilicum at 10%, T2 = Ocimum basilicum at 20%, T3 = Ocimum basilicum at 30%, T4 = Ocimum basilicum at 40% And T5 = control), in each replicate was placed 10 random chickens. Two ml of infusion of Ocimum basilicum were administered per liter of water in the drinkers according to their percentages corresponding to each treatment at 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and one control without infusion of pure water, this was done all The days, weighing the residues or surplus water. The chickens were fed a "special" (no growth promoter) balancing from the Balmar factory, this was applied to all stages (pre-initial, initial, fattening and finishing), likewise food consumption was recorded Daily of each replica per treatment. The live weight of the birds was recorded weekly, on days 14, 28 and 43 samples of fasces (1 grams) were taken, for each replicate of each treatment to perform in the microbiology laboratory total flora and coliforms, to obtain The samples were isolated from birds of each replicate taken at random and placed on sterile plastic to avoid cross-contamination. When analyzing the data, it is found that there is no significant statistical difference in the productive parameters, both in weight, feed intake, water consumption, conversion index of the chickens fed with the administration to the drinking water of the Ocimum infusion Basilicum relative to the control treatment (T5) throughout the experiment. In the quality tests of both total flora and colimetry if there was a statistical difference on day 14, the treatment of infusion at 40% (T4) presents a smaller number of colony forming units than the absolute control treatment (T5). At day 28 there was no statistically significant difference between the treatments and the control. At day 43 there is a statistical difference in both total flora and colimetry between the treatment at 10% (T1) and the control treatment (T5). From the results it can be assumed that there is a control of the total flora and colimetry when administered the infusion of basil. Therefore, the infusion of Ocimum Basilicum can be included in the feeding of birds as substitutes for antibiotic growth promoters due to their antibacterial properties since it does not affect the productive parameters, recommending to perform organoleptic tests to determine if there is influence in the Meat flavor.
