Abstract

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of vitamin A on performance, serum biochemical indices, organ indices and tibia ash content of broilers and determine the appropriate vitamin A added level in diet. Five hundred and forty one-day-old Abor Aeres (AA) broilers were randomly allocated to 6 groups with 3 replicates per group and 30 chickens per replicate. The broilers were randomly fed one of six corn-soybean meal diets with different vitamin A added levels (1 500, 3 000, 6 000, 9 000, 12 000 and 15 000 IU/kg) for 28 d. The results indicated as follows: 1) compared with 6 000 IU/kg vitamin A, added 1 500 IU/kg vitamin A significantly decreased livability (P<0.05), added 15 000 IU/kg vitamin A significantly decreased livability and body weight at 28 days of age (P<0.05), and other vitamin A levels did not cause distinct difference (P>0.05). 2) Quadratic responses to vitamin A added level were significant for serum calcium (Ca) content and serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of broilers (P<0.05), serum Ca content reached summit when vitamin A at 6 800 IU/kg, and serum ALP activity got to valley bottom when vitamin A at 10 000 IU/kg. Compared with 12 000 IU/kg vitamin A, added 1 500 and 3 000 IU/kg vitamin A significantly decreased serum phosphorus (P) content (P<0.05), and other vitamin A added levels did not cause distinct difference (P>0.05). 3) Liver index had a significant quadratic relationship with vitamin A added level (P<0.05), and reached summit when vitamin A at 8 000 IU/kg. Spleen index had a significant linear relationship with vitamin A added level (P<0.05), and debased linearly with increased vitamin A added level. The bursa of Fabricius index of broilers fed 1 500 IU/kg vitamin A was significantly lower than that of broilers fed 6 000 IU/kg vitamin A (P<0.05), and had no significant differences with other groups (P>0.05). Tibia ash content had no significant differences among all groups (P>0.05). It follows that, 1) suitable vitamin A added level in diet is from 6 000 to 10 000 IU/kg; 2) serum ALP activity is affected easily by dietary vitamin A level and can not reflect bone develop status exactly.
