Valine is an important essential amino acid of laying hens. Dietary supplemented with BCAAs ameliorated gut microbiota, whereas elevated blood levels are positively associated obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes in both humans rodents. General controlled nonrepressed (GCN2) kinase plays a crucial role regulating intestinal inflammation hepatic fatty homeostasis during acids deficiency, while GCN2 deficient results enhanced developed steatosis. However, how long-term dietary valine...
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic and metabolic commonly occurs in humans with obesity type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM); such condition also exists animals as rodents laying hens. Since the pathogenesis of hemorrhagic syndrome (FLHS) hens similar to human NAFLD, hen's FLHS selected study model NAFLD. Altered circulating amino acids, particularly elevated branched-chain acids (BCAAs) aromatic (AAAs), are consistently reported patients NAFLD T2DM. How long-term dietary...
Selenium (i.e., Se) is a trace element that vital in poultry nutrition, and optimal forms levels of Se are critical for productivity health. This study aimed to compare the effects sodium selenite (SS), yeast selenium (SY), methionine (SM) at 0.15 mg/kg 0.30 on production performance, egg quality, content, antioxidant capacity, immunity selenoprotein expression laying hens. The trial was conducted 3 × 2 factorial arrangement, total 576 forty-three-wk-old Hyland Brown hens were randomly...
The present study aimed to assess the impact of dietary valine levels on layer production performance, egg quality, immunity, and intestinal amino acid absorption laying hens during peak lay period. For this purpose, a total 960 33-week-old Fengda No.1 were randomly divided into five experimental groups fed with at following different in feeding trial that lasted 8 weeks: 0.59, 0.64, 0.69, 0.74, 0.79%, respectively. Productive performances recorded throughout whole rearing cycle serum...
Early weaning stress has been reported to impair intestinal health in mammals. Like mammals, of the pigeon squab, an altricial bird, is associated with social, environmental and dietary stress. However, understanding on functions very limited birds, especially squabs. This study was aimed evaluate effects early microbiota diversity, architecture, permeability, first line defense mechanisms, mucosal barrier functions, immune cell responses. A total 192 newly hatched squabs were randomly...
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects Bacillus coagulans (B. coagulans) on productive performance, egg quality, blood biochemistry, antioxidant capacity, reproductive hormones, immune function, and intestinal morphology laying hens (86 weeks old) during late period. A total 960 Hy-Line Brown layers were randomly assigned five treatment groups, each with 6 replicates 32 hens. Hens grouped as follows: basal diet (control group) a supplemented 3.25 × 105, 6.5 9.75 or 1.3 106...
This study was designed to evaluate the effects of dietary coated sodium butyrate (CSB) on intestinal antioxidant, immune function, and cecal microbiota laying hens. A total 720 52-week-old Huafeng hens were randomly allocated into five groups fed a basal diet supplemented with CSB at levels 0 (control), 250 (S250), 500 (S500), 750 (S750), 1000 (S1000) mg/kg for eight weeks. The results revealed that supplementation quadratically decreased malondialdehyde content increased superoxide...
Abstract The study aimed to investigate whether linoleic acid could improve the intestinal barrier function of squabs under weaning stress conditions. Totally 320 7-d-old weaned were randomly divided into four treatment groups, including control group (CON), 0.7% addition (LA007), 1.4% (LA014) and 2.1% (LA021). At 21 d, eight selected from each for sampling determination. results showed that adding (P < 0.05) body weight squabs, LA014 had best effect. With increase dosage, villi...
Melanin is the key functional ingredient of silky fowl that has nutritional and medicinal benefits. Chishui unique black feather, skin, green shell egg claws, while melanin deposition main tissues in remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate pigmentation four fowls compared with Taihe from lightness value different degree, content mRNA expression levels related genes such as ASIP, MC1R, MITF, TYR TYRP1 by using colorimeter, enzymatic hydrolysis RT–PCR, respectively. The results...
The study was aimed to evaluate the morphology and immune function development of jejunum ileum in squab pigeons (Columba livia), by determining villus ultrastructure, secretory IgA, cytokines. Eight squabs were randomly selected sampled on day hatch (DOH), d 7 (D 7), 14 14), 21 21) post-hatch, respectively. results showed that under transmission electron microscope, enterocyte circumference decreased with age. tight junction involved jejunal villi plateaued from D 7, whereas ileal changed...
