Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of pyrroloquinoline quinine (PQQ) on performance, egg quality, plasma lipid metabolism and antioxidant ability of laying hens fed high-energy low-protein diets. Two hundred and eighty-eight Hy-Line brown laying hens aged 29 weeks were randomly divided into 4 groups with 6 replicates per group and 12 hens per replicate. Hens in group Ⅰ (control group) were fed a basal diet (metabolic energy 11.03 MJ/kg; crude protein 16.2%), hens in group Ⅱ (pathological model control group) were fed a high-energy low-protein diet (metabolic energy 12.75 MJ/kg; crude protein 13.0%), and hens in groups Ⅲ and Ⅳ were fed the high-energy low-protein diet (the same as group Ⅱ) supplemented with 0.08 and 0.16 mg/kg PQQ, respectively. The experiment lasted for 4 weeks. The results showed as follows: 1) compared with the control group, the high-energy low-protein diet induced fatty liver, the liver fat rate in group Ⅱ was significantly increased (P<0.05), and the contents of triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in plasma in group Ⅱ were significantly increased (P<0.05). 2) Dietary PQQ could significantly decrease the increase of average daily feed intake and the ratio of feed to egg of laying hens fed high-energy low-protein diets (P<0.05), it could significantly inhibit the decrease of albumen height, Haugh unit and yolk color and the increase of the contents of TG, TC and LDL-C and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in plasma (P<0.05), and all the above indexes could get the same levels as control group. 3) Dietary PQQ could significantly inhibit the decrease of plasma superoxide dismutase activity and the increase of plasma malondialdehyde content of laying hens fed high-energy low-protein diets (P<0.05). In conclusion, dietary PQQ can decrease the liver fat content, improve the lipid metabolism and antioxidant ability of laying hens.
