dc.description.abstract | The present study with 1-day-old male broilers (Ross 308) was conducted to evaluate the
effects of deoxynivalenol (DON) at different levels (5 and 15 mg/kg feed) on growth performance,
relative weight of organs, morphology of the small intestine, serum biochemistry, and welfare
parameters of broiler chickens. Forty-five broiler chicks were randomly divided into three different
experimental groups with five replicates each: (1) control group received a non-contaminated diet,
(2) contaminated diet with 5 mg DON/kg of feed, and (3) contaminated diet with 15 mg DON/kg of
feed for 42 days. Results showed that feed artificially contaminated with DON at guidance level (5
mg/kg diet) did not affect growth performance parameters. However, 15 mg/kg reduced body weight
gain and altered feed efficiency. DON at two assayed levels significantly increased the absolute and
relative weight of thymus and the relative weight of gizzard and decreased the absolute and the
relative weight of the colon. Compared to controls, both doses affected small intestine morphometry
parameters. In terms of biochemical indicators, DON at 5 mg/kg reduced the creatine kinase level
and at 15 mg/kg DON reduced the cholesterol level. Furthermore, DON at 15 mg/kg induced more
fear in broilers compared to broilers fed the guidance level. It was concluded that even the guidance
level of DON did not affect the chickens’ performance. However, its toxic effect occurred in some
organs and biochemical parameters | ca |
