Research progress of Periplaneta americana and its drug residues in chicken intestinal immunity
Periplaneta americana is a common cockroach species in southern China,which has high edible,medicinal and feeding value.It has biological functions such as enhancing immunity,antibacterial,tissue repair,and protecting intestinal mucosa.It is rich in amino acids,high-quality proteins,and active substances that can improve the body's immunity.Feeding animals can not only improve the production performance of animals but also improve immunity.Therefore,it is developed and utilized as a high-quality protein feed or feed additive for poultry.In this paper,the value of Periplaneta americana and its dregs,the intestinal function of chickens,the evaluation index of chicken intestinal immunity,and the effects of Periplaneta americana and its dregs on intestinal immunity of chickens were reviewed,in order to provide reference for the rational application of Periplaneta americana and its dregs in chicken feed.
