“…However, similarities (P>0.05) in the values obtained for the control birds and those given diets supplemented with 100 and 200ppm AA could be due to inadequate levels of supplementation to effect any significant difference compared with the control. This observation conformed to the findings of Puron et al (1994) and Sykes (1977) that no effect was obtained on performance and survivability in broiler birds fed diet supplemented with 200 ppm AA. The higher weight gained by birds fed AA supplemented diet indicated ameliorative effect of supplemental AA on heat stressed birds which corroborated the findings of Kassim and Norziha (1995); Mckee et al (1997);Sosnowka-Czajka et al (2003); Bolu et al (2004) Sabah et al (2008); Sobayo et al, (2008) and Onu (2009) that supplemental AA improved weight gained by birds exposed to heat stress.…”

A 56-day trial to evaluate the performance, carcass characteristics and meat physico-chemical properties of broiler birds fed graded inclusion of supplemental ascorbic acid (AA) was undertaken using 270 one-day old Arbor acre broiler chicks. Basal starter and finishers diets (T1) contained 0% AA (control); while diets T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6 were supplemented with 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5% AA respectively. Performance data indicated similar (p>0.05) daily and total feed intake by birds. Feed conversion ratio (3.04, 2.86, 2.85, 2.74, 2.77and 2.69 for birds on diets T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6 respectively) were also similar (p>0.05). However weight gain and final body weight were significantly higher (p<0.05) for birds on AA supplementation compared with control. Correlation of graded AA inclusion and weight gain of chickens was positive (r=0.50) and significant (p<0.05). Regression of weight gain (kg) on graded AA supplementation indicated (R 2 =0.2531) a minimum of 1.67ppm dietary AA requirement for growth. Abdominal fat, eviscerated weight as well as weight of heart varied significantly (p<0.05). Other carcass characteristics, organ indices and meat physico-chemical indices were not significantly different (p>0.05). Supplemental dietary AA was implicated in growth and improved color of broiler meat in this study.

“…1, 2). Puron et al (1994) verified that dietary acetylsalicylic acid had no beneficial effects on broiler growth, feed efficiency, or survivability. Stilborn et al (1988) also did not find a diet versus temperature interaction and stated that a cylooxigenase inhibitor (acetylsalicylic acid ) was not beneficial for broiler growth under heat stress conditions.…”

An investigation was carried out to verify whether the heat stress hyperthermia response of broilers is prostaglandin-dependent. Male broiler chickens of the Hubbard-Petterson strain, aged 35-49 days, were used. Chickens were injected with indomethacin (1 mg/kg intraperitoneally) 15 min before or 2 h after heat exposure (at 35 degrees C for 4 h), and rectal temperature was measured before injection and up to 4 h thereafter. Birds were separated into two groups with and without access to water during heat stress. The increase in rectal temperature was lower (P < 0.05) in birds with access to drinking water during heat exposure. All birds injected with indomethacin exhibited an increase in rectal temperature, irrespective of whether indomethacin was administered before or in the course of the rise in temperature. The results revealed that the increase in rectal temperature during heat exposure is not prostaglandin-dependent, and that the use of cyclooxigenase inhibitors is not recommended to attenuate heat stress hyperthermia in broiler chickens.

“…the birds are experimentally submitted (Mckee & Harrison, 1995;Whitehead et al, 2003). Puron & Santamaria (1994) did not observe differences in weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio or mortality of broilers fed 200 ppm AA, and attributed these results to the temperatures and times applied (35-38° C for 4 hours and 26-34° C for 6 hours, respectively), as the beneficial effects of AA and flavonoids supplementation are most likely to be observed at higher temperatures. However, cyclic heat stress temperatures and times used in the study of Sahin et al (2003) were higher (34°C for 8 h/d), and resulted in lower feed intake and worse feed conversion ratio in quails fed a diet supplemented with 250 mg L-AA.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of increasing doses of ascorbic acid (AA) and citric flavonoids (quercetin and rutin) on the performance and meat quality characteristics of broilers submitted to cyclic heat stress. Four-hundred one-day-old female Ross 308 were housed in 40 battery cages a in temperature controlled room. Treatments consisted of 0, 250, 500, and 1000 g/ton on of AA + citric flavonoids. Birds were fed ad libitum until 32 day of age. Beginning on day 14 post-hatch until the end of the experiment, in order to simulate cyclic heat stress, the temperature inside the room was increased to 32°C for 5 hours, and decreased until reaching the comfort temperature corresponding to the age of the animals. Birds were slaughtered at 33 days of age, and carcass and commercial cuts yields were determined. Thighs and boneless breast samples were collected and frozen for subsequent analyses of pH, cooking loss, shear force, color, and Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances (TBARS). Significant differences (p <0.05) were found for feed efficiency from 1 to 7 days of age, with the best values for the birds fed 0 and 250 g/ton on of AA + citric flavonoids. At the end of the experiment, there were no differences in other performance variables, carcass and parts yields, pH, shear force, color and TBARS. The meat of the birds supplemented with 250 g/ton on of product presented the lowest cooking loss
