Abstract

This trial was conducted to study the effects of different levels of coated methionine on growth performance, blood biochemical indices and apparent ileal digestibility of amino acids in broilers. A total of 3 780 Cobb 500 broilers aged 18 days were randomly arranged into 7 groups with 3 replicates per group and 180 broilers per replicate. Control group received a basal diet supplemented with 0.16% DL-methionine, trial groups received the basal diets supplemented with 0.32% (B), 0.29% (C), 0.26% (D), 0.22% (E), 0.19% (F) and 0.16% (G) of coated methionine, and broilers were fed to the 42 days of age. The results showed that final weight, average daily gain and average daily feed intake of groups B and C were higher than those of the control group (P<0.05), and the mortality of group B was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in all above indices between the other groups and the control group (P>0.05). Plasma GSH-Px activity of trial groups (except group G) was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05), and SOD activity of groups B and C were higher than that of group G (P<0.05), but there were no significant differences in other blood biochemical indices among all groups (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in apparent ileal digestibility of dry matter and crude protein between trial groups and the control group (P>0.05), and the apparent ileal digestibility of amino acids of trial groups was increased (P<0.05) or no change expect that the apparent ileal digestibility of many kinds of amino acids of group G was decreased compared with the control group (P<0.05). These results indicate that growth performance and apparent ileal digestibility of amino acids in broilers are increased with the supplementation of coated methionine increasing, but the supplementation of 0.19% coated methionine can meet the needs of broilers, namely, coated methionine can be substituted for 60% DL-methionine in the diet, so DL-methionine can be saved up to 40%.
