Description

INTRODUCTION Cordyceps species are medical fungi well known for their pharmacological actions such as immunomodulatory (Koh et al., 2002; Yu et al., 2003), anti-inflammatory (Yu et al., 2004a, b), antitumor (Nakamura et al., 1999), antifungal (Kneifel et al., 1977) and antibacterial (Ahn et al., 2000) activities, and contain biologically active components such as nucleosides (cordycepin; 3'-deoxyadenosine, and adenosine), polysaccharides and ergosterol (Li et al., 2006). Although the pharmacological actions of Cordyceps may also affect livestock beneficially, the application of Cordyceps in livestock has received little attention. Recently, however, it has been reported that an oral dose of a hot-water extract of mycelia from C. sinensis, in an attempt to substitute for antibiotic growth promoter, improved bodyweight gain and the immune system in broiler chicks (Koh et al., 2003).
