Controlled Early Feed Restriction as a Potential Means of Reducing the Incidence of Ascites in Broilers

Abstract: Male broiler chicks were grown at cold temperatures to enhance susceptibility to the ascites syndrome. Various feeding regimens were used to determine whether they could influence mortality due to ascites. It was found that a precisely controlled early feed-restriction regimen at the age of 6 to 11 days significantly reduced mortality from all causes and mortality due to ascites, while maintaining optimum body weight and feed conversion at marketing age.

“…There have been conflicting results in catch-up growth and yield data, illustrating the severity and duration of the growth restriction (Julian, 2005). The distinct advantage of feed restriction is the decrease in mortality (Shlosberg et al, 1991;Balog, 2003). Feed restriction (by reducing ad libitum intake) reduced the incidence of ascites without compromising body weight (Albers et al, 1990;Balog, 2003).…”

“…The birds that developed ascites as a result of exposure to low temperatures exhibited the same pathological symptoms as those that developed it under low O2 partial pressuresymptoms including increased hematocrit, hemoglobin, heart weight, and rightventricle:total-ventricle ratios [70][71][72]122,124,[143][144][145][146][147].…”

“…Outros trabalhos que empregaram a restrição alimentar para reduzir a incidência de mortalidade por ascite foram realizados por PEACOCK et al (1989), REEVES et al (1991), SHLOSBERG et al (1991, ACAR et al (1995), LOTT et al (1996) e BUYS et al (1998.…”

“…A restrição alimentar qualitativa pode ser obtida manipulando-se o conteúdo de energia da dieta, relações entre constituintes da dieta (proteína, energia, minerais, vitaminas) e forma de apresentação (farelada ou peletizada) e deve ser levada em conta nas primeiras três semanas de vida da ave, a fim de se reduzir a incidência de ascite (ALBERS et al, 1990;SHLOSBERG et al, 1991;SCHEELE, 1993). McGOVERN et al (2000) também estudaram o efeito da flutuação da temperatura (durante o dia -das 6 às 18 horas de mais 3ºC e durante a noite -das 18 às 6 horas de menos 3ºC) e da aplicação de óleo de canola sobre a palha onde os frangos foram alojados e concluíram que a flutuação na temperatura resultou em um aumento de 1,4% na mortalidade por ascite em relação ao tratamento controle (sem flutuação e sem aplicação de óleo de canola) e que os frangos do tratamento controle apresentaram o menor peso do ventrículo direito em relação aos frangos do tratamento com flutuação de temperatura.…”
