Abstract

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary levels of sulphur amino acids on performance of Jinghong laying hens during peak production period, and to investigate the optimal sulphur amino acids requirement of laying hens(27 to 38 weeks of age). A total of 450Jinghong No. 1 laying hens aged 27 weeks were randomly allocated to 5 groups with 6 replicate per group and 15 hens per replicate. The basal diet was corn-soybean meal diet. The sulphur amino acids levels in diets were 0.52%(control group), 0.57%, 0.61%, 0.66% and 0.71%, respectively. The trial lasted for 12 weeks. The results showed as follows:1) there were significant differences in laying rate, daily egg production, average daily feed intake and average daily gain(P<0.05), and those of 4 test groups were significantly higher than those of the control group(P<0.05), but there was no significant difference among the test groups(P>0.05). The average egg weight of the 0.61% and 0.66% group was significantly higher than that of other groups(P<0.05). 2) According to quadratic regression curve analysis based on laying rate, average egg weight, daily egg production, the optimal dietary requirements of sulphur amino acids, digestible sulphur amino acids were 718 to 758 mg/d,681 to 719 mg/d, respectively. In conclusion, to maximum laying rate as the index, the requirements of sulfur-containing amino acids, digestible sulfur amino acid, methionine, digestible methionine in Jinghong laying hens' peak production period were 718, 681, 427 and 405 mg/d, respectively; to maximum daily egg production as the index, the requirements of sulfur-containing amino acids, digestible sulfur amino acid, methionine, digestible methionine in Jinghong laying hens' peak production period were 728, 690, 433 and 410 mg/d, respectively.
