To estimate dietary iron requirement for Shanma laying ducks in laying period (from 17 to 30 weeks of age), the laying performance, egg quality, liver and blood indices were examined. A total of 432 Shanma laying ducks at 15 weeks of age were randomly allotted to six groups, each with six replicates of twelve birds. All birds were offered a basal diet without iron supplementation (containing 52.2 mg/kg iron) for 2 weeks. Then birds were fed the diets supplemented with 0, 15, 30, 45, 60 and 75 mg/kg FeSO4·H2O which contained 52.2, 67.2, 82.2, 97.2, 112.2 and 127.2 mg/kg iron, respectively. The experiment lasted for 14 weeks. The results showed as follows: 1) in the early laying period (17 to 18 weeks of age), the average egg weight was firstly increased and then decreased with dietary iron level increasing, and the average egg weight of 67.2, 82.2, 97.2 mg/kg groups was significantly higher than that of 112.2 mg/kg group (P<0.05). While in the peak laying period (19 to 30 weeks of age) and the whole experimental period (17 to 30 weeks of age), no significant differences were observed in daily feed intake, egg production, average egg weight, egg mass, and feed/egg (P>0.05). 2) The yolk color was firstly increased and then decreased with dietary iron level increasing, and the maximal value was at the level of 97.2 mg/kg. 3) The liver iron content was increased with dietary iron level increasing, and the liver iron content of 127.2 mg/kg group was significantly higher than that of 52.2 mg/kg group (P<0.05). 4) The liver catalase activity was firstly increased and then decreased with dietary iron level increasing, and the liver catalase activity of 67.2 mg/kg group was significantly higher than that of 97.2, 112.2 and 127.2 mg/kg groups (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in liver succinodehydrogenase activity amomg groups (P>0.05). 5) Both hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit were increased with dietary iron level increasing, the hemoglobin concentration of 97.2, 112.2 and 127.2 mg/kg groups was significantly higher than that of 52.2 mg/kg group (P<0.05), and the hematocrit of 112.2 and 127.2 mg/kg groups was significantly higher than that of 52.2 mg/kg group (P<0.05). 6) According to the quadratic regression model of average egg weight, the iron requirement for Shanma laying ducks during early laying period was 73.9 mg/kg in the diet. On the basis of above results, iron requirement are 73.9 and 52.2 mg/kg iron in the diet of Shanma laying ducks during their early and peak laying period, respectively.
