Effect of gossypol on blood serum parameters and small intestinal morphology of male broilers

Abstract: Summary In the present study, the effect of varied gossypol (GOSS) amounts was investigated on blood parameters, the digesta pH, villus height, villus width, and crypta depth, width of duodenum, jejunum and ileum. A total of one hundred eight Ross 308 male broilers were fed with four diet groups as follows: no gossypol (control), gossypol rate 62 mg/kg (GOSS 62), gossypol rate 124 mg/kg (GOSS 124) and gossypol rate 186 mg/kg (GOSS 186). The effect of used gossypol amounts on blood parameters was not found to b… Show more

“…No significant differences in severity scores were reported in channel catfish fed diets containing up to 1,500 mg gossypol/kg diets (12). Similarly, no clear negative effects were found on small intestine morphology in male broilers fed up to 186 mg gossypol/kg diets (50). All these results suggested that gossypol had minimal influences on digestive tract.…”

“…Histological indices were measured using NIS-Elements Viewer software (Version: 4.20; NIS Elements, Nikon, Melville, NY, USA) with an inverted microscope (Eclipse TE2000, Nikon Instruments Inc., Melville, NY, USA) using a calibrated eyepiece graticule at 4× magnification. The height and the width of 10 well-oriented villi and their associated crypts were measured from each slide according to Özdoğan et al [17]. The villus height to crypt depth ratio (V:C) was calculated.…”

“…This finding suggests that feeding SSCSM results in improved intestinal morphology and healthier animals which can be attributed to: 1) a direct relationship between intestinal microflora and gut health. The increased LAB population could inhibit the colonization of pathogens such as coliform bacteria and reduce the incidence of their negative effects on intestinal structure and tissue, 2) the breakdown of large proteins into small peptides after SSF of cottonseed meal and 3) the reduction of free gossypol in SSCSM (Jazi et al, 2017, Özdoğan et al, 2012). The positive effects of using SSCSM as an alternative protein source is evident as it could improve gut health and performance of broiler chickens.…”
