Efecto antioxidativo de las dietas suplementadas de las comidas de hoja de mantequilla en las pulletas de colocación

Abstract

The present study was conducted to examine the antioxidant potential of African mistletoe (Viscum album L.) as alternative feed additive for Laying Pullets. Fresh African mistletoe leaves were harvested from cocoa trees and shade dried to constant weight. The leaves were grounded and were designated as mistletoe leaf meal (AMLM). Total of sixty ISA Brown pullets at 18 weeks old were randomly allocated to four dietary treatment consisting of 5 replicates with 3 birds per replicate, when egg production was 4% in a completely randomized design. The birds were fed layer ration and dietary mistletoe supplement as treatments T1 (basal diet + 0% AMLM), T2 (basal diet + 2% AMLM), T3 (basal diet + 4%AMLM) and T4 (basal diet + 6%AMLM) during 16 week feeding trial. At 8th week and end of the feeding trial, blood samples were collected through the Jugular vein into a sample bottle from all birds for serum oxidative indicator assay; malondialdehyde (mMDA/mgprotein), total antioxidant activity (mmol/litre), glutathione peroxidase (GPx, µgGSH/ min/mgprotein), superoxide dismutase (SOD, U/min/mg protein) and catalase (nmH2O2/min/ mg protein) using standard procedures. The result obtained revealed that at 8 weeks of lay, lipid peroxidation in laying pullets were significantly (P<0.05) lowered by mistletoe supplementation while total antioxidant activity of significantly (P<0.05) increased with mistletoe inclusion. Pullets fed 6% mistletoe supplemented diets significantly (P<0.05) enhanced catalase and glutathione peroxidase activity. Total antioxidant activity and all antioxidant enzymes of laying pullets increased, as laying cycle progresses, while lipid peroxidation reduced. This could signify that laying pullets have better antioxidative stability at 16 weeks of lay compared than pullets at 8weeks of lay. It can be concluded that African mistletoe leaf meal inclusion in laying pullets diet enhance antioxidant profile in pullets.inforMAtion Cronología del artículo.

Las hojas frescas del muérdago africano fueron cosechadas de los árboles del cacao y la cortina secó al peso constante. Las hojas se pusieron a tierra y se designaron como harina de muérdago (AMLM). Se asignaron aleatoriamente a un total de sesenta pollos marrones ISA a las 18 semanas de edad a cuatro tratamientos dietéticos consistentes en 5 repeticiones con 3 aves por repetición, cuando la producción de huevos fue del 4% en un diseño completamente al azar.

Potentials of Phyllanthus amarus, Viscum album and Moringa oleifera supplements to mitigate heat stress in female rabbits in humid tropics

“…The herbal supplements improved cholesterol profile by lowering LDL and improving HDL fractions of the total cholesterol. Hypercholesterolemia is linked with elevated lipid peroxidation and the instrument of contraction of cholesterol also lowers lipid peroxidation [ 25 ], thus suggesting the capacity of the supplements to enhance oxidative stability in the Does during heat stress. Thus, the better cholesterol profile could promote oxidative stability in herbal supplemented groups, an indication of better productivity and most likely account for superior performance obtained in phyllanthus supplemented Does.…”

Herbal inclusions ameliorate effect of heat stress on haematology, proinflammatory cytokines, adipokines and oxidative stress of weaned rabbit does in humid tropics

“…Phyllantus amarus contains phytonutrients that serve as healthy inclusions and growth enhancer in animal feed (Jimoh et al, 2020). Viscum album act effectively as antioxidants and peroxyl radical scavengers, possess immunomodulatory, anti‐inflammatory and antimicrobial effects (Jimoh, Ihejirika, Balogun, & Uwaeziozi, 2018). Previously, documentary evidences had established anti‐inflammatory properties of P. amarus (Harikrishnan et al, 2018) and V. album (Hegde et al, 2011).…”
