Abstract

The current study was conducted with the aim to explore the tolerant dosage of dietary Na₂SO₄ in laying hens. Three hundred and sixty 21-week-age Jinghong laying hens were randomly assigned to 5 groups and were fed based diet with 0 (control), 0.6%, 1.2%, 1.8%, 3.0% Na₂SO₄ for 8 weeks, respectively. Each group consisted of 6 replicates per group and 12 hens per replicate. The pre-test lasted for 1 week, and the test lasted for 8 weeks. The results showed as follows: in the later stage (from 5 to 8 week), layers fed 1.8% or 3.0% Na₂SO₄ diet had significantly increased ratio of feed to egg compared with those fed 0.6% Na₂SO₄ (P<0.05). On week 4 of experiment, dietary 0.6% Na₂SO₄ significantly increased the eggshell strength, albumen height and Haugh unit than other groups (P<0.01). On week 8 of experiment, layers in 1.8%, 3.0% Na₂SO₄ group had significantly decreased eggshell strength (P<0.01). Dietary Na₂SO₄ markedly reduced the content of K+ in blood (P<0.05), and partially increased the content of Cl^- in blood (P<0.10) on week 8 of experiment. Compare with the control group, 3.0% Na₂SO₄ group significantly increased the count of red blood cell. The concentration of blood total protein, albumin, glucose were significantly decreased by the supplementation of 3.0% Na₂SO₄ (P<0.05). The morphology assay of different organs showed that layers fed 1.8% or 3.0% Na₂SO₄ diet had glomerular atrophy, inflammatory cells immersed in villous stroma of kidney and in intestine. In conclusion, it is damaged to health, growth and production of hens when diet adding with 1.8% Na₂SO₄, so the tolerant dose of the Na₂SO₄ to Jinghong laying hens can be recommended as 1.2% in diet.
