BackgroundAntioxidants such as vitamin C (VC) and chromium (Cr), which effectively scavenge free radicals, may improve functional characteristics of the intestine and may reduce intestinal diseases. Cr absorption increases in the presence of VC. In poultry, VC is mainly derived from glucose; hence, Cr is an important component for glucose tolerance. We evaluated the synergistic effects of these two antioxidants together.ObjectivesThis study aims to investigate two levels of VC and two levels of Cr and their interaction on growth performance, carcass characteristics, digestive organs, immunity, blood constituents, liver enzymes, cecal microflora, meat sensory taste and fatty acid profile of breast meat in broilers.MethodsTwo levels of VC (250 and 500 mg/kg dry matter [DM]) and two levels of Cr (700 and 1400 μg/kg DM) were added to a basic diet for 42 days in five treatments. The 2 × 2 plus 1 (control group) factorial experiment was performed in a completely randomised design for 42 days using 360 one‐day‐old male chicks.ResultsVery low‐density lipoprotein, high‐density lipoprotein, low‐density lipoprotein, total cholesterol and triglyceride level, liver enzymes, antibody titer against sheep red blood cells, fat content, odour, chewing ability, elasticity and oral sensation traits were affected by combination of VC and Cr.ConclusionsCombination of VC and Cr can increase unsaturated fatty acids and decrease saturated fatty acids, as well as improve cecal microbial flora, and may be useful as antioxidant compounds and non‐antimicrobial stimulants for economic growth. The use of 250 mg/kg of VC and 700 μg/kg of Cr is recommended in broiler diets.

“…The content of lipid directly re ects the content of fat in the blood. It was demonstrated that the addition of VC to broiler diets under HS reduced triglycerides and LDL, and increased serum HDL (Erfani et al, 2021). Moreover, a signi cant drop in serum triglyceride, cholesterol, very-low-density lipoprotein and LDL was observed in combination with the addition of Bet (Behboodi et al, 2021), However, in our study, HS had no effect on most of the indicators which evaluate tissue injury, and the addition of VC and /or Bet had no signi cant differences between the groups, this discrepancy was likely due to different application approaches, levels of utilization, environmental differences, such as level of hygiene, duration of exposure to heat, or extent of HS.…”

For broiler’s health, heat stress (HS) poses a significant challenge. This study investigates the potential of vitamin C (VC) and/or betaine (Bet) to enhance growth performance, regulate serum metabolic parameters, and bolster antioxidant function aiming to mitigate the impact of cyclic HS on broilers. Two hundred Ross 308 broilers at 28 days of age were randomly assigned to five groups. The control group, housed at 24 ± 1℃, was fed a basal diet. High-temperature treatment groups, housed at 32 ± 1℃, received a basal diet with 0 (HS group), 250mg/kg VC (HSVC group), 1000mg/kg Bet (HSBe group), and 250mg/kg VC + 1000mg/kg Bet (HSVCBe group). On day 42, assessments were made on growth performance, muscle quality, serum biochemical parameters, and antioxidant function. Results revealed that HS significantly lowered (P < 0.05) average daily feed intake (ADFI), the degree of redness (a*) in pectoral and leg muscles, and serum total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) level. It also reduced (P < 0.01) average daily gain (ADG), and serum total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) level, while increasing (P < 0.05) shear force, serum direct bilirubin (D-BIL), uric acid (UA), and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels compared with the control group. Dietary supplementation of VC and Bet, either alone or in combination, significantly decreased shear force and serum UA level, while increasing ADG and the level of T-AOC, and T-SOD in serum antioxidant compared with the HS group (P < 0.05), with the combination yielding the most pronounced effects. In conclusion, the addition of VC and/or Bet to the diet proves effective in enhancing the growth performance of HS-exposed broilers through the positive regulation of serum chemical metabolism parameters and the alleviation of oxidative damage.
