Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of grape procyanidins(GPC) on production performance, egg quality, antioxidant activity in plasma, liver and egg yolk of old laying hens. Two hundred and eighty eight healthy Roman laying hens of 64-week-old with similar laying rate and body weight were randomly assigned to 4 groups with 6 replicates of 12 hens each. Laying hens in the control group were fed a basal diet, and those in tert-butyl hydroquinone(TBHQ) or GPC groups were fed basal diets supplemented with 200 mg/kg TBHQ or 50, 100 mg/kg GPC, respectively. The experiment comprised 7 days of adaptation and 56 days of measurement period. The results showed as follows:1) dietary GPC significantly restrained the decrease of laying rate and Haugh unit with age and increased eggshell thickness compared with the control(P<0.05). 2) GPC supplementation level at 50 mg/kg significantly increased total superoxide dismutase(T-SOD) activity and total antioxidant capacity(T-AOC)(P<0.05), decreased malondialdehyde(MDA) content in plasma and liver(P<0.05), and dietary TBHQ significantly increased T-SOD activity in plasma(P<0.05) and decreased MDA content in liver(P<0.05). 3) Dietary GPC significantly increased T-SOD activity and decreased MDA and cholesterol contents in egg yolk(P<0.05), and TBHQ only significantly decreased the MDA content in egg yolk(P<0.05). It is concluded that dietary GPC can restrain the decrease of laying rate and Haugh unit, increase eggshell thickness and antioxidant activity of old laying hens. The addition of 50 mg/kg GPC may help to gain superior effects over 200 mg/kg TBHQ addition in diet for old laying hens.
