Synergistic Ameliorative Effects of Organic Chromium and Selenium Against Heat Stress in Japanese Quails: Performance, Immunological, Hematological, Biochemical And Antioxidant Studies

Abstract: Key words:Quails, Heat stress, Organic selenium and chromium, Immune response, oxidative stress This study conducted to clarify the effect of dietary supplementation of organic chromium (Cr), selenium (Se) and their combination on performance, immune responses, hematological and biochemical parameters as well as antioxidant capacity of Japanese quails (Coturnix japonica) under heat stress. A 90-day trial conducted using seventy-five, 10-day-old Japanese quails that randomly divided into 5 groups of 15 birds ea… Show more

“…First, the observation that the response of female somatic maintenance and egg production subsystems is dominated by heat stress (Fig 5A,B) is logical given that many of the traits involved are known to be directly associated with thermoregulation and energetic balance [80, 84]. Also, the detrimental effects of heat stress observed on these traits are consistent with precedent reports for adult quail exposed to chronic cyclic heat stress [27,50,85–87]. Contrarily, the liver response was primarily associated with thymol effects (Fig 5C).…”

“…The high level of connectivity observed in Basal-HS decreased in birds under heat stress and supplemented dietary thymol (compare Fig 7B,D,F,H). The modulation observed is consistent with the more general framework indicative of the antagonistic multiscale and scale-dependent effects of heat stress and thymol supplementation, influencing from gene expression and metabolic pathways to the whole-organism (see [14,18,27,46–51,19–26] for heat stress, [16,33,42–44,34–41] for thymol, and [21,45,53,54,62] for their combination). However, our experimental approach allowed us to further demonstrate that the resultant non-linear combination of constraints imposed on the system by both factors emerges as a more variable or “less coordinated” response pattern (i.e., lower level of correlations among traits and subsystems, lower entropy and connectivity, general absence of dominant nodes) in comparison to the Basal-HS.…”

“…This result is well recognized since Cr stimulates glucose metabolic rate via potentiates insulin hormone act (Jeejebhoy et al, 1977). Supplementation of organic Cr in quail diets decreased glucose level in the blood (Abdelhady et al 2017) which agrees with (Sahin et al, 2002;El-Hommosany, 2008) who stated that Cr is important for glucose metabolism and configure glucose tolerance factor, which works with insulin to transfer glucose to cells and increase the use of glucose, therefore, an improvement was found in BWG, FCR and carcass qualities. In addition, Chromium supplement enhances the amino acid acceptance by tissues and muscle cells, improves protein retention, and usually improves BW (Mertz, 1992).…”

“…This observation is in the same line with the results of El-Kelawy (2019) who approved that chromium yeast (Cr-Yeast) supplementation improved BWG, and FCR of growing Japanese quail. Also, Abdelhady et al (2017) found that Cr supplement significantly (P<0.05) improved the BWG, total FI, improved FCR and decreased the mortality rate when compared with heat-stressed quails. Ebrahimzadeh et al (2013) found that BW and FI of the chickens supplemented by CrMet enhanced at 800-ppb concentrations of Cr (P < 0.05).…”
