“…Also Eren et al (2004) reported decreasing plasma calcium levels in laying hens from 22 to 28 weeks of age; however, these changes were not significant. Suchy et al (2001) and Kurtoglu et al (2001) reported mean Ca levels similar to the mean values found in our experiment. Our values also fall within the physiological range as described by Belay and Teeter (1996).…”

Blood Plasma Mineral Profile and Qualitative Indicators of the Eggshell in Laying Hens in Different Housing Systems

2009

The aim of this study was to compare the blood plasma mineral profile (Ca, P, K, Mg, Zn, Cu and Se) and egg-shell quality (eggshell weight, eggshell breaking strength and thickness) of laying hens housed in three different housing systems (traditional cage system, enriched cage system and deep litter system). In each housing system, 12 ISA Brown laying hens were observed during the laying period from week 22 to 75 of age. The effect (p < 0.05 and p < 0.01) of age and/or phase of the laying cycle on all mineral concentrations was determined. Eggshell breaking strength decreased (p < 0.001) with the age of birds. The results of this study indicate that the housing systems compared had no significant effect on the blood plasma mineral profile of laying hens under study and the values were within the physiological range. However, a significant effect of housing system on eggshell breaking strength and eggshell weight was found. Improved eggshell quality was obtained in most periods of the laying cycle in the enriched cage systems. Blood minerals, egg-shell quality, standard cage, enriched cage, deep litter floorPassage of the Council Directive 1999/74/EC has resulted in the replacement of traditional cages with enriched cages, litter technologies or aviaries to improve the welfare of laying hens. The shell quality remains one of the most important issues for the technology of further egg handling (Ledvinka et al. 2000). However, some authors pointed out that there are differences in eggshell quality and proportion of cracked eggs between different housing systems (Abrahamsson et al. 1995;Abrahamsson and Tauson 1997;Wall and Tauson 2002). Shell quality can be influenced by many factors including mineral nutrition. Calcium, magnesium and phosphorus are major inorganic constituents of avian eggshells (Cusack et al. 2003). Simons (1976) found small amounts of potassium, copper and zinc in the palisade layer of the eggshell. The presence of sodium, potassium, magnesium, zinc, and copper was confirmed also in the shell membranes (Wedral et al. 1974). The importance of minerals is reflected in changes of arrangement pattern of shell membrane fibres in relation to the structural composition of the eggshell, for example when using copper-and magnesium-deficient diets (Leach and Gross 1983). Traces of magnesium, potassium, copper and zinc were also found in the egg cuticle. Plasma mineral concentrations during the laying period can be influenced by many factors; such as laying rate and energy requirements (Suchý et al. 2001), partial quantitative feed restriction (Sahin and Kucuk 2001), mineral supplements (Eren et al. 2004), ambient temperature (Siegel 1995;Donoghue et al. 1990;Ching 1992;Belay and Teeter 1993; Večerek et al. 2002), production type (Suchý et al. 2004), age of hens (Cerolini et al. 1990;Gyenis et al. 2006), stress (Beisel 1982Combs and Combs 1984; Tufft and Nockles 1991;Klasing 1998), exposure to heavy metals (Zralý et al. 2008), etc.With regard to differences in eggshell quality between different ho...

“…Therefore, a daily intake of 50 μg boron per day by humans via consumption of 200 g chicken breast meat should not result in toxic levels of boron. The combined evidence indicates that boron can interact with the metabolism of some macro-minerals, such as Ca, P and Mg, and ALP, thereby modifying their concentrations in the serum of broiler chickens (Kurtoğlu et al, 2001(Kurtoğlu et al, , 2005Bozkurt et al, 2012). However, here, the serum biochemical constituents were not affected by supplemental boron (P＞ 0.05).…”

A total of 800 day-old broiler chicks were assigned to four test diets to assess the efficacy of phytase, fermented from Aspergillus niger, and boron, as boric acid, on the growth performance and mineral profile in chickens. The dietary treatments included the basal diet and the basal diet supplemented with boron (20 mg/kg), phytase (500 phytase units/kg diet), or a combination of boron and phytase. The following parameters were measured: growth performance indices, serum biochemicals, ash and the mineral profile of the tibia, breast muscle, liver and excreta. Boron decreased the overall feed conversion ratio by 1.9% (P＜0.05) but did not affect the body weight and feed consumption of chickens grown for 42 days (P＞0.05). The performance indices were not significantly influenced by dietary regimens for the first 21 days of the experiment (P＞0.05). The addition of boron alone and boron + phytase resulted in significant increases in the boron concentrations of serum, bone, breast muscle, liver and excreta (P＜ 0.001). The serum alanine aminotransferase activity of chicks fed phytase was higher (P＜0.05) than all other treatments. The ash content and mineral composition of the breast meat, liver and tibia did not respond to individual or combined dietary modifications (P＞0.05). The chickens administered a diet with boron excreted less Cathrough excreta. However, the ash content and Fe and Cu concentrations in the excreta increased in response to phytase supplementation (P＜0.05). In summary, supplementation with boron alone improved the feed conversion efficiency of broiler chickens fed diets containing adequate levels of nutrients. However, the combination of boron and phytase did not cause further improvements in broiler performance or the bioavailability of minerals.

“…Apart from plants, boron has also been claimed to be a beneficial element for animals and quite likely humans for bone regeneration, while the exact molecular mechanisms remain to be solved. A wide array of physiological and metabolic systems (lipid, mineral, bone, energy metabolism, and endocrine function) of the mammalian body are significantly affected by boron deprivation [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Furthermore, boron is involved in bone growth and maintenance, brain function, and reduces arthritis risk, regulates some steroid hormones, and coordinates immune response [7].…”

Boron, a vital micronutrient for plant metabolism, is not fully elucidated for embryonic and adult body development, and tissue regeneration. Although optimized amount of boron supplement has been shown to be essential for normal gestational development in zebrafish and frog and beneficial for bone regeneration in higher animals, effects of boron on myogenesis and myo-regeneration remains to be solved. In the current study, we investigated dose-dependent activity of boric acid on myogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) using immunocytochemical, gene, and protein expression analysis. The results revealed that while low- (81.9 μM) and high-dose (819.6 μM) boron treatment increased myogenic gene expression levels such as myosin heavy chain (MYH), MyoD, myogenin, and desmin at day 4 of differentiation, high-dose treatment decreased myogenic-related gene and protein levels at day 21 of differentiation, confirmed by immunocytochemical analysis. The findings of the study present not only an understanding of boron's effect on myogenic differentiation but also an opportunity for the development of scaffolds to be used in skeletal tissue engineering and supplements for embryonic muscle growth. However, fine dose tuning and treatment period arranging are highly warranted as boron treatment over required concentrations and time might result in detrimental outcomes to myogenesis and myo-regeneration.
