“…This may be because CAP can improve antioxidant enzyme activity, effectively remove excessive free radicals, and prevent lipid peroxidation-related damage. In a similar paper ( 66 ), the antioxidant index of T-AOC was caused by increased breeder dietary vitamin E, thereby reducing the MDA level. In the article on CAP, the addition and use of CAP improve the antioxidant capacity of fish.…”

This study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation of the new single-cell protein Clostridium autoethanogenum protein (CAP) on growth performance, plasma biochemical indexes, liver histology, lipid metabolism, and gut microbiota in Cobb broilers. According to the randomized block experimental design, 960 Cobb broilers (1d old) were divided into six treatments with eight replicates of 20 birds each. Six isonitrogenous and isoenergetic diets were formulated with different contents of CAP (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5%) to replace soybean meal (SBM). The results showed that the addition of CAP did not influence liver health when it exceeded 2%. The protein metabolism markers and feed conversion rate increased (P < 0.05), significantly improving the growth performance. When the content of CAP was greater than 4%, it could promote lipolysis without affecting lipogenesis, decreasing the abdominal fat rate. There was no significant difference in MDA between these groups (P = 0.948). The increase of SOD and GSH-Px indicated the enhancement of antioxidant response. Alpha diversity did not significantly differ between groups (P > 0.05). Inclusion of 4% or less CAP led to the increase in beneficial microbiota, the concentration of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) such as acetic acid, propionic acid, and butyric acid (P < 0.05), and the concentration of primary bile acids such as cholic acid and goose deoxycholic acid (P < 0.05). While the concentration of secondary bile acids such as taurocholic acid and taurine goose deoxycholic acid was decreased (P < 0.05). These results illustrated that the CAP had a high potential for application in poultry nutrition. In terms of improving growth performance and antioxidant capacity and reducing fat deposition rate, 4% CAP content is recommended.

“…It seems that oxidative stress happened in the process of egg storage, and it may be one reason for decreased hatchability induced by long-term egg storage. Based on this assumption, we have demonstrated that maternal dietary VE supplementation increased the hatchability of stored eggs and the antioxidant status of embryos and chicks hatched from stored eggs in our previous study [ 26 , 27 ]. In the present study, we further observed that in the case of long-term egg storage, the antioxidant status of offspring was enhanced by the increased maternal dietary VE supplementation.…”

“…Dymond et al [ 15 ] further observed that the short periods of incubation during egg storage improved the growth performance of offspring. Our previous studies have demonstrated that maternal dietary VE supplementation increased the hatchability and the antioxidant status of embryos and newly hatched chicks in the case of long-term egg storage [ 26 , 27 ]. Yet, no work has been performed to evaluate whether or not increased maternal dietary VE supplementation could further improve the growth performance of offspring hatched from stored eggs, as eggs were commonly stored in commercial poultry production.…”

Two trials were conducted to investigate the effects of maternal and progeny dietary vitamin E (VE) supplementation on the growth performance and antioxidant status of offspring before and after egg storage. A total of 576 75-week-old Ross 308 breeder hens were assigned to three dietary VE treatments (100, 200, and 400 mg/kg) with 6 replicates of 32 hens for 12 weeks. Two trials were conducted with offspring hatched from eggs laid at weeks 9 and 12 of breeder feeding trial, respectively. Trial 1 was conducted by a 3 × 2 factorial arrangement of treatments with three levels of maternal dietary VE (100, 200, and 400 mg/kg) and two levels of progeny dietary VE (0 and 35 mg/kg). Trial 2 was conducted with three maternal dietary VE treatment (100, 200, and 400 mg/kg), and chicks were hatched from eggs stored for 14 d and received the same progeny diet with no addition of VE. Results showed that in trial 1, maternal (100, 200, and 400 mg/kg) and progeny (0 and 35 mg/kg) dietary VE supplementation did not affect the growth performance of offspring hatched from unstored eggs (p > 0.05). In trial 2, in the case of long-term egg storage, maternal dietary VE supplementation of 200 and 400 mg/kg increased the body weight (BW) of 21- and 42-d-old offspring and the body weight gain (BWG) of offspring from 1 to 21 d (p < 0.05), and decreased the feed conversion ratio (FCR) of offspring from 1 to 21 d (p < 0.05) compared to 100 mg/kg VE. As the maternal dietary VE levels increased, the liver and serum antioxidant status of offspring enhanced (p < 0.05). In conclusion, maternal dietary VE supplementation of 200 or 400 mg/kg could improve the growth performance and anti-oxidant status of offspring hatched from stored eggs, but not for that of offspring hatched from unstored eggs. The suitable VE level for the broiler breeder diet was 400 mg/kg in the case of long-term egg storage.

Background Cool temperature egg storage prior to incubation is a common practice in the broiler industry; however, prolonged egg storage causes increased embryonic mortality and decreased hatchability and growth in surviving chicks. Exposing eggs to short periods of incubation during egg storage (SPIDES) reduces the adverse consequences of prolonged storage. SPIDES increases blastodermal cell viability by reducing apoptosis, though the counteracting mechanisms are unclear. To define the impact of prolonged storage and SPIDES, transcriptome analysis compared gene expression from blastoderms isolated from eggs exposed to the following treatments: control (CR, stored at 17 °C for 4 days), prolonged storage (NSR, stored at 17 °C for 21 days), SPIDES (SR, stored at 17 °C for 21 days with SPIDES), and incubated control (C2, stored at 17 °C for 4 days followed by incubation to HH (Hamburger–Hamilton) stage 2, used as the ideal standard development) (n = 3/group). Data analysis was performed using the CLC Genomics Workbench platform. Functional annotation was performed using DAVID and QIAGEN Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. Results In total, 4726 DEGs (differentially expressed genes) were identified across all experimental group comparisons (q < 0.05, FPKM> 20, |fold change| > 1.5). DEGs common across experimental comparisons were involved in cellular homeostasis and cytoskeletal protein binding. The NSR group exhibited activation of ubiquitination, apoptotic, and cell senescence processes. The SR group showed activation of cell viability, division, and metabolic processes. Through comparison analysis, cellular respiration, tRNA charging, cell cycle control, and HMBG1 signaling pathways were significantly impacted by treatment and potential regulatory roles for ribosomal protein L23a (RPL23A) and MYC proto-oncogene, BHLH transcription factor (MYC) were identified. Conclusions Prolonged egg storage (NSR) resulted in enriched cell stress and death pathways; while SPIDES (SR) resulted in enriched basic cell and anti-apoptotic pathways. New insights into DNA repair mechanisms, RNA processing, shifts in metabolism, and chromatin dynamics in relation to egg storage treatment were obtained through this study. Although egg storage protocols have been examined through targeted gene expression approaches, this study provided a global view of the extensive molecular networks affected by prolonged storage and SPIDES and helped to identify potential upstream regulators for future experiments to optimize egg storage parameters.
