Abstract

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of dietary iron supplemental level on performance, hematopoietic function and iron metabolism of Wulong geese aged from 1 to 4 Weeks, and to find the appropriate supplemental level of the iron of geese. A total of 360 one-day-old Wulong geese were randomly divided into 6 groups with 6 replicates per group and 10 geese per replicate. Geese in the group Ⅰ (control group) were fed a basal diet, and geese in the experimental groups (groups Ⅱ to Ⅵ) were fed the basal diet supplemented with 40, 80, 120, 160 and 200 mg/kg iron, respectively. The experiment lasted for 4 weeks. The results showed as follows, compared with the control group:1) dietary supplemented with 80 to 120 mg/kg iron significantly increased the body weight and average daily gain (P<0.05), and significantly decreased the ratio of feed to gain (P<0.05). 2) Dietary supplemented with 80 to 120 mg/kg iron significantly increased the dressed percentage, percentage of half-eviscerated yield and percentage of leg muscle rate of geese (P<0.05). 3) Dietary supplemented with 80 mg/kg iron significantly increased mean corpuscular volume and mean erythrocyte hemoglobin content in blood of geese (P<0.05), dietary supplemented with 80 to 200 mg/kg iron significantly increased red cell counts and hemoglobin concentration in blood of geese (P<0.05), dietary supplemented with 120 to 200 mg/kg iron significantly increased hematocrit in blood of geese (P<0.05). 4) Dietary supplemented with 160 to 200 mg/kg iron significantly decreased total iron binding capacity in serum of geese (P<0.05), and significantly increased transferrin saturation in serum of geese (P<0.05); dietary supplemented with 120 mg/kg iron significantly decreased the content of uric nitrogen and creatinine in serum of geese (P<0.05), dietary supplemented with 80 mg/kg iron significantly decreased the serum uric acid content of geese (P<0.05). In conclusion, with the best growth performance as the target, the dietary appropriate iron supplemental level of Wulong geese aged from 1 to 4 weeks is 99.56 to 116.91 mg/kg.
