Influence of Probucol ((4,4′-Isopropylidine dithio)-bis(2,6-di-t-butyl-phenol)) on Egg Yolk Cholesterol Content and Performance of Laying Hens

Abstract: Addition of the hypocholesteremic agent Probucol ((4,4'-isopropylidine dithio)-bis(2,6-di-t-butyl-phenol)) to the diet of laying hens at up to 1% significantly reduced egg yolk cholesterol content (mg/g yolk) without impairment of rate of egg production, egg weight, shell strength, albumen quality, or other production related parameters. Dietary concentration of .1% Probucol significantly reduced yolk cholesterol within 2 weeks after feeding. Higher concentrations did not further reduce yolk cholesterol. Probu… Show more

“…The shells were weighed after being air-dried for 24 h. The percentage values of shell weight, yolk weight and albumen weight were calculated. Egg yolk was blended with isopropyl alcohol with a volume of 10 ml per g of yolk (Waldroup et al, 1986). Cholesterol content of this extract was determined according to the enzymatic method of TECO (2001).…”
