Serum lipid profile of broilers fed diets with inclusion of mango waste meal

Abstract

We evaluated the effect of including 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0% mango waste meal (MWM) variety UBA in corn and soybean meal-based diet on the serum lipid profile of broilers. The experimental design was completely randomized, with five treatments and six replicates with 20 birds per experimental unit. Concentrations of creatinine, albumin, total protein, total cholesterol, triacylglycerols (TAG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and very-low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), were evaluated at the ages of 14, 28 and 42 days, with 30 birds evaluated per age. At 14 days, there was no difference serum creatinine, total cholesterol, HDL, triacylglycerols, total proteins or VLDL-C concentrations as compared with control. Albumin concentration was the highest at the MWM inclusion levels of 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0%. At 28 days, triacylglycerols, VLDL-C and LDL-C were the lowestat 7.5% inclusion whereas at 42 days, these same variables were the lowest with addition of 10.0% meal. At 14, 28 and 42 days of age, the VLDL-C, LDL-C and total TAG contents were found to decrease at mango waste meal inclusion levels of 5.0 and 7.5% in the diets, which maybe considered an indicator of improvements in the metabolic conditions of broilers.

Effect of feeding fermented mixture of cassava pulp and Moringa oleifera leaf meal on immune responses, antioxidative status, biochemistry indices, and intestinal ecology of broilers

“…The latter condition may suggest that feeding fermented feed shifted the metabolic process from fat synthesis to fatty acid β-oxidation and tissue protein synthesis. In agreement with our inference, Vieira et al [26] reported the inverse relationship between serum albumin and triglycerides levels in broilers fed mango waste meal at 42 days of age. However, our inference must be taken with care as the increased albumin level was not capable of increasing the total protein in the serum of the respective birds.…”

“…However, our inference must be taken with care as the increased albumin level was not capable of increasing the total protein in the serum of the respective birds. The same condition was actually found in the study of Vieira et al [26], in which the albumin level was not in parallel with the total protein levels in the serum of broilers. Our present finding showed that serum globulin level was lower (p<0.05) in FERB than that in BACI, but did not differ from that in CONT and FERM broilers.…”
