Abstract

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of adding high doses of tea polyphenols (TP) into diets on performance, egg quality and serum lipometabolism parameters and hepatic lipometabolism-related gene expression of laying hens during later laying period. A total of 480 Lohmann laying hens (65-week-old) were randomly allotted into 4 groups with 8 replicates per group and 15 hens per replicate. The laying hens in control group were fed a basal diet, and those in experimental groups were fed the basal diets supplemented with 666, 1 333 and 2 666 mg/kg TP (its purity reached 63.58%, and the content of catechin in it was 40.20%), respectively. There was a pretrial period of 2 weeks followed by an experimental period of 9 weeks. The results showed as follows:1) compared with the control group, adding 2 666 mg/kg TP significantly decreased the laying rate of week 1 to 3, 4 to 6 and 1 to 9 (P<0.05), significantly decreased the average daily feed intake of week 1 to 3, 4 to 6, 7 to 9 and 1 to 9 (P<0.05), and significantly increased the feed/egg of week 1 to 3 and 4 to 6 (P<0.05); adding 1 333 and 2 666 mg/kg TP significantly decreased the average egg weight of week 1 to 3, 4 to 6 and 1 to 9 (P<0.05). 2) Compared with the control group, adding 2 666 mg/kg TP significantly increased the Haugh unit of week 2 (P<0.05), and significantly decreased the eggshell ratio of week 2 (P<0.05); adding 1 333 mg/kg TP significantly increased the Haugh unit of week 4 (P<0.05), and significantly decreased the eggshell ratio of week 2 (P<0.05); adding 666, 1 333 and 2 666 mg/kg TP significantly decreased egg yolk cholesterol content of week 9 (P<0.05); adding 666, 1 333 and 2 666 mg/kg TP did not significantly affect the eggshell strength, egg yolk color, egg yolk ratio, albumen ratio and egg yolk fatty acid composition (P>0.05). 3) Compared with the control group, adding 666, 1 333 and 2 666 mg/kg TP significantly decreased the serum total cholesterol (TC) and low density lipoprotein cholesterin (LDL-C) contents (P<0.05); adding 1 333 and 2 666 mg/kg TP significantly decreased the serum triglyceride (TG) content (P<0.05). 4) Compared with the control group, adding 666, 1 333 and 2 666 mg/kg TP significantly increased the mRNA relative expression level of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in liver (P<0.05). In conclusion, adding high doses (1 333 and 2 666 mg/kg) of TP into diets cause the decrease of performance of laying hens during later laying period, but can increase the Haugh unit of egg, decrease the serum TC and LDL-C contents and egg yolk cholesterol content, and up-regulate the expression of AMPK gene in liver.
