“…In ovo vitamin B1, B2, B6, and B12 injections improved hatchability and in ovo vitamin B1, B2, B6, and B12 injection improved hatchability and production performance, according to the researchers. Furthermore, in ovo vitamin B1, B2, and B9 injections boost immune system response [16]. However, the in ovo injection of a combination of B-group vitamins did not work.…”

“…Vitamin B12 injection during broiler egg incubation has been shown to improve hatchability as well as subsequent performance [13]. When vitamins B6 and B12 were injected in ovo, they reduced ethanol-induced oxidative stress in chicken embryos [14,15] reviewed several attempts at in ovo vitamin feeding. In ovo vitamin B1, B2, B6, and B12 injections improved hatchability and in ovo vitamin B1, B2, B6, and B12 injection improved hatchability and production performance, according to the researchers.…”

HE aim of this study was to investigate the effect of in ovo feeding of different level of vitamin B complex (Bcx) on broilers production performance, carcass characteristic, blood biochemical and antioxidant status .During day 14 of incubation, 240 Cobb 500 eggs were purchased and evenly split among six groups according on the in ovo treatment. The control group was T1. In the meanwhile, groups T2, T3, T4, and T5 were given in ovo injections with 0.5 mL of distilled water and 100, 200, or 300 mg of vitamin Bcx per egg, respectively. The experimental groups did not differ in terms of chick weight upon hatching. In the meanwhile, there was no difference in feed consumption between the T3 and T5 groups and the control group in terms of final body weight and body weight increase from 1 to 5 weeks of age. The feed conversion ratio for animals aged 1 to 5 weeks did not vary significantly across groups. The relative weight of the bursa rose considerably in the T4 and T5 groups, but the relative weight of the spleen increased significantly in the T4 group compared to the control. As compared to the control group, in ovo vitamin Bcx treatment at 300 ng/egg significantly boosted serum albumin as well as muscle SOD and TAC activity. The current study found that in ovo injection of vitamin Bcx at a dose of 300 g/egg had positive effects on the relative weight of lymphoid organs and the antioxidant activity of muscles. Thus, more research is required to assess the effects of various in ovo vitamin B-group combinations on broiler performance for commercial adaption.

BackgroundHeavy metals like lead (Pb) have been used by humans for a very long time, but throughout the industrial revolution, their use expanded, increasing exposure to the metal. Lead, however, has no biological purpose in the human body and is hazardous when it gets into soft tissues and organs. Lead is still used in a variety of industries, including battery manufacturing and car maintenance, despite efforts to limit its usage.ObjectiveThis study investigates the teratogenic and morphometric effects of lead on chick embryos and the potential ameliorative effects of vitamin B6.MethodsTwo hundred fertilized eggs from the golden black chicken were divided into four groups: control, lead acetate, vitamin B6, and lead + vitamin B6.ResultsOn the 14th day, embryos were analyzed. Significant reductions in body weight and size were observed in the lead‐exposed group (33.93 ± 1.27 g) compared to the control (41.12 ± 0.97 g). Pronounced deformities included rudimentary beaks, protruding eyes, tridactyl limbs, hydrocephaly, and neck deformities. Appendicular deformities like phocomelia, amelia, and abnormal phalanges growth were also noted. Vitamin B6 demonstrated therapeutic benefits, significantly improving mean embryo weight in the Lead + Vitamin B6 group (42.37 ± 0.99 g). The lead‐exposed group showed a reduction in maxilla length (3.61 ± 1.30 mm) compared to the Lead + Vitamin B6 group (7.57 ± 0.79 mm). This group also showed reduced severity of muscular dystrophy and bone thinning, with signs of recovery in beak and bone sizes.ConclusionsThe study highlights vitamin B6's beneficial impact in mitigating lead's toxic effects on chick embryonic development.

This study investigated the effect of folic acid (FA) and its delivery routes (in-feed or In ovo) on broiler chicken’s hatch and growth performance, blood biochemistry, antioxidant status, and intestinal morphology. A total of 1,860 Cobb 500 hatching eggs were incubated for 21 days. On d 12 of incubation, viable eggs were randomly allotted to four groups: the non-injected group, In ovo saline (injected with 0.1 mL/egg of saline solution), In ovo FA 1 (injected with 0.1 ml FA containing 0.1 mg/egg; FA1), and In ovo FA 2 (injected with 0.1 ml FA containing 0.15 mg/egg). All In ovo treatments were delivered via the amnion. At hatch, chicks were re-allotted to 5 new treatment groups: FA1, FA2, in-feed FA (FA 3; 5mg/kg in feed), in-feed bacitracin methylene disalicylate (BMD; 55 mg/kg in feed), and negative control (NC; corn-wheat-soybean diet) in 6 replicate pens (22 birds/pen) and raised in starter (d 0 -14), grower (d 15-24) and finisher (d 25-35) phases. Hatch parameters were assessed on d 0, and body weight and feed intake (FI) were determined weekly. On d 25, 1 bird/cage was euthanized, immune organs weighed, and intestinal tissues harvested. Blood samples were collected for biochemistry and antioxidant (Superoxide dismutase-SOD and Malondialdehyde-MDA) analysis. Data were analyzed in a randomized complete block design. While FA1 and FA2 decreased (P < 0.001) hatchability in a dose-dependent manner, FA2 caused a 2% increase (P < 0.05) in average chick weight compared to the non-injected group. Compared to the BMD treatment, FA3 decreased (P < 0.05) average FI across all feeding phases. At the end of the trial on d35, FA2 had similar feed conversion ratio as the BMD treatment while recording less (P < 0.001) FI. FA1 and FA2 recorded a tendency (P < 0.1) to increase MDA levels and SOD activity by 50% and 19%, respectively, compared to the NC treatment. Compared to NC treatment, FA2 increased (P < 0.01) villus height, width, and villus height to crypt depth ratio in the duodenum, and villus width in the jejunum. Besides its negative effect on hatchability, FA2 may help improve embryonic development and antioxidant status in broiler chickens.
