“…TA B L E 2 Egg characteristics and yolk antioxidant status for prolonged storage eggs in broiler breeder not affect egg characteristics, similar to the results of other studies done on both fresh and stored eggs (Mohiti-Asli et al, 2008;Urso et al, 2015;Zaghari et al, 2013).…”

“…As one of the lipid-soluble antioxidants, vitamin E (VE) plays a vital role in breaking peroxide chains in membranes and protecting polyunsaturated fatty acids from oxidation (Kirunda, Scheideler, & McKee., 2001;Surai, Fisinin, & Karadas, 2016). Numerous studies have demonstrated the beneficial effects of maternal dietary VE on the health of broiler breeders (Siegel, Price, Meldrum, Picard, & Geraert, 2001;Urso et al, 2015;Zaghari, Sedaghat, & Shivazad, 2013), and its effects in reducing the susceptibility of both yolk and embryo to lipid peroxidation have also been confirmed (Jiang, Zhang, & Shan, 2013;Surai, 2000;Surai, Noble, & Speake, 1999a;Tsai, Chang, Lin, & Chang, 2008). No work has been yet performed to estimate the effects of maternal VE supplementation on the hatchability and offspring quality in cases of prolonged egg storage.…”

This research aims to evaluate the effects of maternal vitamin E (VE) dietary supplementation on the egg characteristics, hatchability and antioxidant status of the embryo and newly hatched chicks of prolonged storage eggs. A total of 576 75‐week‐old Ross 308 breeder hens were randomly allocated into three dietary VE treatments (100, 200 and 400 mg/kg) with 6 replicates of 32 hens, for a 12‐week feeding trial. At week 12, a total of 710 eggs were collected over a 5‐day period, and eggs per treatment were attributed into 5 replicates and stored for 14 days until incubation. The egg yolk, trunk and head of 7‐day‐old embryo and the serum, liver, brain and yolk sac of newly hatched chicks were sampled for the evaluation of antioxidant status. Results showed that as maternal dietary VE levels increased, yolk α‐tocopherol concentration increased (p < .05). Compared with 100 mg/kg VE, the use of 200 and 400 mg/kg VE increased the hatchability of set/fertile eggs and total antioxidant capacity (T‐AOC) of liver and serum in chicks (p < .05), and decreased both the early embryonic mortality and the malondialdehyde (MDA) content of trunk and head in 7‐day‐old embryos (p < .05); moreover, 400 mg/kg VE increased the yolk T‐AOC (p < .05) and decreased yolk and brain MDA content of chicks (p < .05). Brain T‐AOC of chicks in 200 mg/kg VE group was improved compared to that of chicks in 100 mg/kg VE group (p < .05). In conclusion, maternal dietary VE at 200 or 400 mg/kg could increase hatchability by decreasing early embryonic mortality and increasing the antioxidant status of egg yolk, embryo and newly hatched chicks as breeder egg storage was prolonged to 14–18 days. The suitable VE level for the broiler breeder diet was 200 mg/kg as breeder egg storage was prolonged.

“…In this study, additional vitamin E was found to have low effect on its deposition in the egg yolk. However, the previous findings indicated that the number of white ovarian follicles increased (Zaghari et al, 2013), and lead to the increase in egg mass (Sedaqat et al, 2011) due to additional vitamin E at the level of 400 mg/kg. Therefore, it should be better to pay attention for the future study focusing on the development of follicles, besides yolk vitamin E deposition.…”

The research aimed to evaluate dietary vitamin E deposited into the egg of Kedu breeder hen reared in situ and fed an improved diet supplemented with vitamin E. A total of 75 breeder hens and 15 cockerel of Kedu chicken aged ± 12 months, with average body weight of 1667 ± 237 and 2295 ± 250 g/bird, respectively, were distributed into 15 units of semi intensive housing system. A completely randomized designed (CRD) was arranged in the present research with 3 dietary treatments, namely farmer formulated ration (T0), improved ration (T1), and T1 + 6.28 mg/kg vitamin E (T2). Parameters observed were feed consumption, consumption and retention of vitamin E, egg’s vitamin E, egg’s vitamin E deposition efficiency, hen day production (HDP) and egg weight. All data gathered were subjected to analysis of variance and Duncan’s multiple range test to differentiate between treatments. Variables, except feed consumption, HDP and egg weight, were significantly (P<0.05) influenced by dietary treatment. Vitamin E consumption and retention, and deposition increased due to feeding effect of improved diet and supplementation of vitamin E. Dietary vitamin E of farmer’s ration deposited into the egg indicated the highest value (229.23%) followed by improved ration (51.85%), and improved ration + vitamin E was the lowest (5.38%). In conclusion, Kedu hen is likely have a limitation on vitamin E deposited into the egg when the improved ration supplemented with vitamin E is fed, and vitamin E supplementation should be implemented together with the increase of fat content in the ration.

“…Vitamin A has been associated with the health and integrity of cell membranes, while vitamin E is often associated with the synthesis of various hormones, and in livestock species, it was a direct effect on gonadal function was reported [11,12]. Moreover, vitamin E was also associated to a redistribution of cholesterol among the lipoproteins (favoring the high-density lipoprotein) and to a decrease in plasma total cholesterol level [13]. Through the years, considerable research has been carried out to determine the appropriate level of vitamins A and E in poultry diet, adjusting them in relation to the different stages of production [14][15][16][17][18].…”

“…Nevertheless, the nutritional requirement for vitamins proposed for commercial flocks may not support the actual needs of broiler breeders. Moreover, the improvement of genetic, management and environment of breeder flocks lead to changes in breeders vitamins requirements [19], which draw the attention of researchers into the role of vitamins on the reproductive performance of broiler breeders [13,[20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. However, additional research on some vitamins may contribute to clarify the optimum vitamin allowance needed for particular strains of parent stock or to maintain a high production level.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation with supra-nutritional levels of vitamins A and E on fertility and productivity traits of Ross-308 broiler breeder hens during the late production phase. The trial was conducted for nine weeks, from 61 to 69 weeks of age, and designed to test four levels of vitamin A (100, 125, 150 and 200% above the Ross catalogue recommendations) and four levels of vitamin E (100, 200, 300 and 400% above Ross catalogue instructions), maintaining constant the other rearing conditions. Vitamins were combined in 16 treatments, with four replicates per treatment each including seven females, and one rooster broiler was used in every two replicates. A total of 448 hens and 32 roosters were used in the experiment. Fertility parameters were weekly evaluated. According to the results, egg-related parameters (number and weight of eggs, non-conform eggs and hatchability) were not affected by treatment, but dietary treatments increased and extended the hens’ productivity for an additional six weeks in most experimental groups. The chick-related parameters (number and weight of produced chicks) and chick yield differed significantly among groups (p < 0.05). The best economic index was found in birds fed basal-diet plus 100% of vitamin A and 200% of vitamin E. In conclusion, the present study showed that a combination of dietary supra-nutritional levels of vitamins A and E allowed to extend the laying period and to reduce the decline of fertility in older breeder hens at the end of the laying stage; in particular, among the 16 tested treatments, feeding of supra-nutritional level of 100% vitamin A and 200% vitamin E lead to the best results.
