Abstract

The study was conducted to determine the effects of corn at different storage periods on serum antioxidant function of broilers. One hundred and sixty-eight one-day-old Cobb broiler chickens were randomly divided into 6 groups with 7 replicates per group and 4 chickens per replicate. The storage time of corn was 0 (the year when corn was harvested), 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 years for each group (abbreviated as 0 year group, 1 year group, 2 year group, 3 year group, 4 year group and 5 year group), respectively. The trial lasted for 42 days. Serum antioxidant indices of broilers were tested at 21 and 42 days of age. The results showed as follows: 1) at 21 days of age, serum malonaldehyde (MDA) content of 0, 1 and 2 year groups was significantly lower than that of 5 year group (P<0.05), serum glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) activities of 0, 1 and 2 years were significantly higher than those of 3, 4 and 5 year groups (P<0.05), and serum vitamin E content of 4 and 5 year groups was significantly lower than that of 0 (P<0.01), 1 (P<0.05), 2 (P<0.05) and 3 year groups (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in total antioxidant capability (T-AOC) and vitamin C content among different groups (P>0.05). 2) At 42 days of age, compared with 0 year group, serum T-AOC and GSH-Px activity of the other groups were significantly decreased (P<0.01), and serum MDA content was significantly increased (P<0.01). Serum T-SOD activity of 0 year group was significantly higher than that of 4 and 5 year groups (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in serum vitamin C and vitamin E contents among different groups (P>0.05). In conclusion, corn with longer storage time decreases serum antioxidant function of broilers.
