Abstract

Poultry industry stands out as one of the sectors of the agro-industrial sector that has been most developed, through innovations in genetics, nutrition, management and sanity. As a result, the companies are consolidating to seek new markets, as well as to use new products, aiming to reduce costs and increase feed efficiency to meet the nutritional and pharmaceutical needs of the birds, replacing or adding the diets through the use of additives. The purpose of this study was analyze through the use of homeopathy and antibiotic in broilers performance, as well as to compare the different effects provided by treatments. The evaluation period of the experiment lasted 33 days, and for the accomplishment of this work the Treatment in Blocks was used (DBC). Three treatments were used: T1- Control treatment; T2- antibiotic treatment; T3-treatment homeopathy, distributed in 6 replicates each, totaling 18 (eighteen) experimental units where each Experimental Unit was composed of 10 (ten) birds (females and males) of the Cobb Line, totaling 180 (one hundred and eighty) animals. There were significant differences (P <0.05) in daily feed intake, daily water intake, weight gain, feed conversion, liver weight, gizzard weight, proventriculus weight and jejunum duodenum weight, as well as length of duodenum + jejunum. In view of the observed, it is concluded that the treatments containing homeopathy and antibiotic present many similarities and satisfactory results compared to the control treatment. Through this, it is possible to affirm that homeopathy is effective in replacing antibiotics for adverse conditions as found in the present study.
