“…Ma et al [ 21 ] supplemented increasing levels of CrProp in layers diets and observed enhanced egg production without affecting egg weight and FCR in late-phase brown laying hens. Egg production and FCR were also improved when CrProp was supplemented in diets for laying ducks under heat-stressed conditions without modifying FI, as reported by Chen et al [ 16 ]. These authors also indicated that CrProp was probably effective in alleviating the negative effects of heat stress.…”

“…It has been reported that dietary Bacillus subtilis supplementation could reduce heat stress in birds [ 13 ]. However, organic chromium has been the main additive that has demonstrated positive effects against stress conditions in birds; several researchers have started exploring the effect of chromium on laying hens, breeders and broilers, for different requirements [ 14 , 15 , 16 ]. The US Food and Drug Administration approved chromium propionate (CrProp) as an additive for broiler feeds at concentrations up to 0.20 mg Cr/kg [ 17 ].…”

“…Furthermore, chromium has also been related to improvements in cell preservation and immune responses, which contribute to animal homeostasis and thermoregulatory capacity under heat stress conditions [ 19 ]. In laying hens, chromium propionate supplementation resulted in increased egg production, feed efficiency and egg quality, whereas it reduced egg cholesterol levels and serum cortisol [ 16 , 20 , 21 ].…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of Bacillus subtillis PB6, chromium propionate or a combination of the two on the performance, egg and eggshell quality, nutrient metabolizability and serum biochemistry of layer breeders. White Plymouth Rock and Red Rhodes Island breeder hens at 55 weeks of age were allocated in individual cages using a completely randomized block design with 16 replicates. Hens were fed control, control + probiotic (500 g/ton of Bacillus subtilis PB6), control + CrProp (50 g/ton of chromium propionate) and control + probiotic + CrProp diets from 55 to 70 weeks of age. Productive parameters and eggshell quality as well as cortisol and blood biochemistry were grouped each 28 d as well as for the overall period. The metabolizability of nutrients and energy was determined at 70 weeks of age. In the overall period, hens fed the control + probiotic or control + probiotic + CrProp diets had significantly higher egg production, egg mass, shell percentage, thickness and shell strength. The metabolizability of dry matter, nitrogen and energy increased in hens that were fed the control + probiotic + CrProp diet. In conclusion, diets supplemented with Bacillus subtillis PB6 and chromium propionate resulted in improved productive performance, eggshell quality and nutrient metabolizability of layer breeders, without modifying serum cortisol, albumin and triglycerides.

Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is a main component in green tea extract, which possesses multiple bioactivities. The present research studied the effects of EGCG on the laying performance, egg quality, immune status, antioxidant capacity, and hepatic metabolome of Linwu laying ducks reared under high temperature. A total of 180 42-w-old healthy Linwu laying ducks were allocated into control or EGCG-treated groups. Each treatment had 6 replicates with 15 ducks in each replicate. Diets for the two groups were basal diets supplemented with 0 or 300 mg/kg EGCG, respectively. All ducks were raised in the high temperature condition (35 ± 2 °C for 6 h from 10:00 to 16:00, and 28 ± 2 °C for the other 18 h from 16:00 to 10:00 the next day) for 21 days. Results showed that EGCG increased the egg production rate ( p = 0.014) and enhanced the immunocompetence by improving serum levels of immunoglobulin A ( p = 0.008) and immunoglobulin G ( p = 0.006). EGCG also fortified the antioxidant capacity by activating superoxide dismutase ( p = 0.012), catalase ( p = 0.009), and glutathione peroxidase ( p = 0.021), and increasing the level of heat-shock protein 70 ( p = 0.003) in laying ducks’ liver. At the same time, hepatic metabolomics result suggested that EGCG increased the concentration of several key metabolites, such as spermidine ( p = 0.031), tetramethylenediamine ( p = 0.009), hyoscyamine ( p = 0.026), β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate ( p = 0.038), and pantothenic acid ( p = 0.010), which were involved in the metabolic pathways of glutathione metabolism, arginine and proline metabolism, β-alanine metabolism, and tropane, piperidine, and pyridine alkaloid biosynthesis. In conclusion, 300 mg/kg dietary EGCG showed protection effects on the laying ducks reared in high temperature by improving the immune and antioxidant capacities, which contributed to the increase of laying performance of ducks. The potential mechanism could be that EGCG modulate the synthesis of key metabolites and associated metabolic pathways.

“…In the present study, CrProp led to higher GSH-Px activity that eliminates peroxides and hydroxyl radicals, and higher T-AOC levels. Chromium, as a trace element, at a low dose activates the antioxidant system in laying hens under heat stress and in fish ( Untea et al, 2019 ; Chen et al, 2021 ; Zhang et al, 2022b ). Considering CrProp's antioxidant mechanism, Untea et al (2019) confirmed that adding organic Cr promoted zinc deposition in breast meat.…”
