Abstract

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of vitamin B2 on growth performance, serum hormone contents and intestinal tissue structure of Wulong geese aged from 5 to 16 weeks, and to find the appropriate supplemental level of vitamin B2 in diets of geese. A total of 360 Wulong geese (29-day-old) were randomly divided into 6 groups with 6 replicates per group and 10 geese per replicate. Geese in group Ⅰ (control group) were fed a basal diet, and geese in groups Ⅱ to Ⅵ were fed the basal diet supplemented with 2.5, 5.0, 10.0, 20.0 and 40.0 mg/kg vitamin B2, respectively. The experiment lasted for 12 weeks. The results showed as follows: 1) using unrelated comparative analysis method, when the dietary vitamin B2 supplemental level was 5.96 mg/kg, the average daily gain (ADG) reached the highest; when the dietary vitamin B2 supplemental level was 5.64 mg/kg, the ratio of feed to gain (F/G) reached the lowest. 2) The contents of growth hormone (GH), free trⅡodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4) and insulin (INS) in serum in group Ⅲ were significantly higher than those in group Ⅰ (P<0.05). 3) The villus height, crypt depth and the ratio of villus height to crypt depth (V/C) were significantly higher than those in group Ⅰ (P<0.05 or P<0.01). 4) ADG had significant positive correlation with FT4 content (P<0.05), F/G had significant negative correlations with the contents of GH, FT3, FT4 and INS (P<0.05 or P<0.01). 5) ADG had significant positive correlation with villus height (P<0.05), F/G had significant negative correlations with villus height and crypt depth (P<0.05). In conclusion, adding 5.0 mg/kg vitamin B2 can significantly affect the final body weight, ADG, F/G, the contents of serum GH, FT3, FT4 and INS, and intestinal villus height, crypt depth and V/C. According to the growth performance, it suggests that dietary vitamin B2 optimal supplemental level is 5.64 to 5.69 mg/kg.
