Effect of Dietary Rhodobacter capsulatus on Cholesterol Concentration and Fatty Acid Composition in Broiler Meat

Abstract: The study was designed to investigate the effects of dietary Rhodobacter capsulatus on cholesterol concentration and fatty acid composition in broiler meat. A total of 45 two-week-old male broiler chicks were randomly assigned into 3 treatment groups and fed ad libitum diets supplemented with 0 (control), 0.02, and 0.04% R. capsulatus for a 6-wk feeding period. The results of this study revealed that the supplementation of 0.04% R. capsulatus in diet reduced (P < 0.05) cholesterol and triglyceride concentratio… Show more

“…In this study, the concentration of triglycerides in blood decreased in response to combined treatment with karaya saponin and R. capsulatus. This result agrees with the finding of our previous studies in laying hens in which individual supplementation of karaya saponin (Afrose et al, 2009b) and R. capsulatus (Salma et al, 2007b) decreased serum and meat cholesterol, respectively. Triglycerides are secreted from the liver into the serum by triglyceride-rich lipoproteins; therefore, impaired hepatic lipogenesis results in decreased triglyceride concentration in plasma.…”

“…Although PUFA protects against coronary heart disease by providing more membrane fluidity than MUFA, they are more vulnerable to lipid peroxidation. The present results are similar to our previous reports (Salma et al, 2007b;Tsujii et al, 2008;Afrose et al, 2009c). The increase in oleic acid (C18: 1) observed in this study may have been the result of an enhanced effect of desaturase activity.…”

“…The significant improvement of FCR in the RCMP supplementation in the current study additionally might be attributed to the purple non sulphur bacteria (Rhodopseudomonas spp.) as a source of single cell protein (for the poultry industry) (Salma et al, 2007); which have more digestible bacterial cell wall, and are rich in proteins, carotenoids, biological cofactors, and vitamins (Kobayashi and Kurata, 1978).…”

“…Drastic increase of body weight occurs during male sexual maturation, when lipid tissue is known to be accumulated (Salma et al, 2007). The higher lipid in body tissues may be related to the initiation of sexual puberty (Childs et al, 2012).…”
