Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of vitamin A level on antioxidant function and vitamin A contents in serum, liver and egg of laying hens in winter. A total of 525 healthy Hy-line laying hens were randomly divided into 5 groups with 5 replicates per group and 21 hens per replicate. Hens in the control group were fed a basal diet (contained 8 000 IU/kg vitamin A), and the others in experimental groups were fed diets which contained 10 500, 13 000, 15 500 and 18 000 IU/kg vitamin A, respectively. All groups had the same level of other vitamins. The experiment lasted for 42 days. The results showed as follows: the serum total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity increased first and then decreased with the level of vitamin A increasing, however, the serum content of methane dicarboxylic aldehyde (MDA) was decreased. The content of vitamin A in liver was increased with the level of vitamin A increasing, moreover, the liver content of vitamin A was increased linearly (P<0.05). The content of vitamin A in eggs increased significantly with the level of vitamin A from 8 000 to 15 500 IU/kg (P<0.05), but the content of vitamin A in eggs decreased significantly with the level of vitamin A from 15 500 to 18 000 IU/kg on days 21 and 42 (P<0.05). In conclusion, dietary vitamin A level from 10 500 to 13 000 IU/kg can obtain the better antioxidant capacity, more contents of vitamin A can obtain in serum, liver and eggs with the level of vitamin A on 15 500 IU/kg.
