Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary copper level on growth performance, antioxidative property, copper content in serum and liver of male yellow-feathered broilers aged from 43 to 63 days, and then to estimate the dietary copper requirement of male yellow-feathered broilers. Nine hundred male fast large Lingnan yellow-feathered broilers aged 43 days with healthy and well developed body were randomly assigned to six dietary groups. Each group consisted of six replicates with 25 birds per replicate. Group 1 (control group) was fed with the basal diet (copper level was 2.74 mg/kg), and group 2 to 6 were fed with the basal diet added with 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64 mg/kg copper, respectively. Results showed as follows: 1) compared with control group, the final weight, average daily gain and average daily feed intake of broilers in 16 and 32 mg/kg copper groups were significantly higher (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the ratio of feed to gain among all groups (P>0.05). 2) Compared with control group, the CuZn-superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD) activity in serum in 16 and 32 mg/kg copper groups was significantly higher (P<0.05). The CuZn-SOD activity in liver was significantly higher in 32 and 64 mg/kg copper groups (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in CuZn-SOD activity of breast muscle (P>0.05).Dietary copper level did not affect the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in serum and liver of broilers (P>0.05). The MDA content in breast muscle in 32 and 64 mg/kg copper groups was significantly lower (P<0.05). The ceruloplasmin activity in serum in 16, 32 and 64 mg/kg copper groups was significantly lower (P<0.05).3) Compared with control group, the copper content of liver in 8 and 16 mg/kg copper groups was significantly lower (P<0.05). But copper addition had no significant effects on the content of copper in serum and the content of metallothionein in liver (P>0.05). In conclusion, based on the growth performance and antioxidative property, the apropriate copper supplemental level of male yellow-feathered broilers aged from 43 to 63 days is 16 and 32 mg/kg, respectively. Based on the 2.74 mg/kg copper level in the basal diet, the copper requirement of male yellow-feathered broilers aged from 43 to 63 days is 18.74 and 34.74 mg/kg, respectively.Based on the estimated result of grown performance and liver CuZn-lSOD activity by broken-line regression model, the copper requirement of male yellow-feather broilers aged from 43 to 63 days is 19.94 and 38.34 mg/kg, respectively.
