Abstract

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary pyrroloquinoline quinone disodium salt (PQQ·Na2) on performance, egg cholesterol content and antioxidant capacity of laying hens. Three hundred and sixty Jinghong hens aged 23 weeks were randomly divided into 5 groups: basal diets with 0 (control group), 0.08, 0.80, 1.60 mg/kg PQQ·Na2 and 100 mg/kg vitamin E, respectivly. Each group contained 6 replicates with 12 hens per replicate. The experiment lasted for 8 weeks. The results showed as follows: 1) compared with control group, PQQ·Na2 significantly increased laying rate (1.11%) (P<0.05), had no significant effects on egg to feed ratio and egg relative weight (P>0.05), but significantly increased albumen height(P<0.05). 2) Compared with control group, 0.80 mg/kg PQQ·Na2 significantly increased liver cholesterol content (P<0.05), and significantly decreased cholesterol content in plasma and egg (11.27%) (P<0.05). PQQ·Na2 significantly increased plasma high density lipoprotein cholesterol content (P<0.05), but had no significant effect on plasma low density lipoprotein cholesterol content (P>0.05). 3) Compared with control group, 0.80 mg/kg PQQ·Na2 decreased plasma methane dicarboxylic aldehyde (MDA) content (P<0.05) and 0.08 mg/kg PQQ·Na2 significantly increased liver total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) activity and total antioxidant capacity(P<0.05), but had no significant effect on plasma T-SOD activity (P>0.05). Compared with the other groups, 1.60 mg/kg PQQ·Na2 significantly increased MDA content in liver (P<0.05). In conclusion, this study indicates that the appropriate level of dietary PQQ·Na2 (0.80 mg/kg) increases laying rate, enhances antioxidant capacity of laying hens and decreases egg cholesterol content.
