“…Although supplementation of vitamin C at 3 g/kg of the diet significantly improved growth in one study (Briggs et al, 1944), other studies using vitamin C levels ranging from 50 mg/kg to 9 g/kg found ao improvement or even negative effects on growth rate (Orban et al, 1993, Nakaue et al, 1967Reid et al 1964).…”

In a two-factorial experiment, 420 1-day-old male commercial broiler chickens were randomly divided and fed a basal diet with or without vitamin C (500 parts/10(6)). Half of the birds within each group receiving the same kind of feed were fed a T(3 )supplemented diet from day 1, in order to increase the ascites incidence. Weekly body weight and feed intake were measured. Venous blood samples were taken from 10 birds per group weekly from day 14 on, for haematocrit measurements, blood gas analysis, measurement of thyroid hormones and lactate/pyruvate ratios. Ascites mortality was recorded daily. Dietary T(3) significantly increased ascites mortality. Adding vitamin C to the feed significantly reduced ascites mortality while it had no effect on performance parameters. Plasma thyroid hormone levels were significantly reduced by dietary vitamin C administration, but neither haematocrit nor blood gas levels were influenced.

“…for 20 minutes, feeding 0.3% aspirin reduced body temperature. Reed et al (1964) obtained no growth response or improvement in feed efficiency from feeding levels of aspirin ranging from 0.005 to 0.08% to broiler chicks grown from 4 to 8 weeks of age. Nokaue et al (1967) noted a significant reduction in growth of 4 week old chicks when fed aspirin at a 0.6 or 0.9% level.…”

“…The use of cyclooxigenase inhibitors like acetylsalicylic acid and indomethacin to improve the performance of broilers maintained in a heat stress environment has been postulated. Some workers have reported an improvement in egg production by feeding acetylsalicylic acid (Reid et al 1964). MacDaniel et al (1993, however, showed that chronic feeding of acetylsalicylic acid did not improve egg production or feed efficiency.…”

An investigation was carried out to verify whether the heat stress hyperthermia response of broilers is prostaglandin-dependent. Male broiler chickens of the Hubbard-Petterson strain, aged 35-49 days, were used. Chickens were injected with indomethacin (1 mg/kg intraperitoneally) 15 min before or 2 h after heat exposure (at 35 degrees C for 4 h), and rectal temperature was measured before injection and up to 4 h thereafter. Birds were separated into two groups with and without access to water during heat stress. The increase in rectal temperature was lower (P < 0.05) in birds with access to drinking water during heat exposure. All birds injected with indomethacin exhibited an increase in rectal temperature, irrespective of whether indomethacin was administered before or in the course of the rise in temperature. The results revealed that the increase in rectal temperature during heat exposure is not prostaglandin-dependent, and that the use of cyclooxigenase inhibitors is not recommended to attenuate heat stress hyperthermia in broiler chickens.
