Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different methionine sources on performance, immune indices and antioxidant function of broiler breeders. A total of three hundred and sixty Lingnan yellow-feathered broiler breeders at age of 39 weeks were randomly allocated into 4 groups with 3 replicates per group and 30 hens per replicate. The control group was fed a basal diet without extra supplementation of methionine and the 3 experimental groups were fed the basal diet supplemented with 0.10% DL-methionine (DLM), methionine hydroxy analogue calcium (MHA-Ca) and coated methionine (CME), respectively. The results showed as follows: 1) the supplementation of DLM, MHA-Ca or CME could increase the laying rate, egg weight and decrease the feed-egg ratio. The laying rate and average total egg weight in CME group were significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.05), and the feed-egg ratio was significantly lower than that in control group (P<0.05). 2) Compared with the control group, the contents of immunoglobulin G, immunoglobulin A, immunoglobulin M, complement 3 and complement 4 in serum in CME group significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with the MHA-Ca and DLM groups, the contents of immunoglobulin G and complement 4 in serum in CME group significantly increased (P<0.05). 3) Different methionine sources could enhance the antioxidant function in experimental groups. The activities of glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase in liver and kidney in experimental groups were significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.05), and the content of dicarboxylic aldehyde in liver and kidney was significantly lower than that in control group (P<0.05), and CME group was better than other groups. In conclusion, CME has the best effects on performance, immune indices and antioxidant function of broiler breeders in the present study.
