Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary vitamin D3 supplemental level, on growth performance, slaughter performance and serum biochemical indexes of Yangzhou geese, and to explore the dietary optimal vitamin D3 level for Yangzhou geese at the age of 5 to 10 weeks. A total of 300 5-week-old healthy male Yangzhou geese with similar body weight were randomly allocated into 5 groups with 6 replicates per treatment and 10 geese per replicate. The control group was fed a basal diet and experimental groups were fed the basal diets supplemented with 500, 1 000, 2 000 and 4 000 IU/kg vitamin D3, respectively. The experiment lasted for 6 weeks. The results showed as follows: 1) compared with the control group, adding 1 000 IU/kg vitamin D3 significantly increased the body weight of Yangzhou geese at the age of 10 weeks (P<0.01), and significantly increased the average daily gain and average daily feed intake of Yangzhou geese at the age of 5 to 10 weeks (P<0.05). Adding vitamin D3 significantly decreased the feed/gain of Yangzhou geese at the age of 5 to 10 weeks (P<0.05), and feed/gain of 2 000 IU/kg vitamin D3 group was significantly lower than that of control group (P<0.01). 2) Adding 1 000 IU/kg vitamin D3 significantly increased the percentage of eviscerated yield of Yangzhou geese at the age of 10 weeks (P<0.05), and significantly decreased the percentage of abdominal fat (P<0.05). However, there were no significant differences in dressing percentage, half-eviscerated yield percentage, breast muscle percentage, leg muscle percentage, cardiac index, liver index and gizzard index of Yangzhou geese at the age of 10 weeks among all groups (P>0.05). 3) Adding vitamin D3 significantly (P<0.05) or extremely significantly (P<0.01) increased serum calcium content of Yangzhou geese at the age of 10 weeks (P<0.05), when adding 2 000 IU/kg vitamin D3, the serum calcium content was extremely significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.01), and significantly higher than that of 500 IU/kg group (P<0.05), the serum calcium content of 1 000 IU/kg vitamin D3 group was significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in serum phosphorus content and alkaline phosphatase activity of Yangzhou geese at the age of 10 weeks among all groups (P>0.05). The results indicate that the optimal level of vitamin D3 is 1 000~2 000 IU/kg for male Yangzhou geese at the age of 5 to 10 weeks.
