Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different vitamin K3 supplemental levels on growth performance, tibial bone quality and plasma biochemical indices of Pekin ducks during 1 to 21 days of age. The experiment using a one-factor completely randomize design with 7 vitamin K3 supplemental levels (0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0 and 8.0 mg/kg). A total of 448 one-day-old male Pekin ducks were randomly divided into 7 groups with 8 replicates per group and 8 birds per replicate. The experiment lasted for 21 days. The results showed as follows: 1) different vitamin K3 supplemental levels had no significant effects on the average daily gain, average daily feed intake and ratio of feed to gain of Pekin ducks during 1 to 21 days of age (P>0.05). 2) Different vitamin K3 supplemental levels had no significant effects on the bone mineral density, bone mineral content and bone area of tibial bone of Pekin ducks at 21 days of age (P>0.05). 3) The plasma calcium content of 4.0 mg/kg vitamin K3 supplemental level group were significantly higher than that of 0, 0.5 and 1.0 mg/kg vitamin K3 supplemental level groups (P<0.05). The plasma phosphorus content of 0 mg/kg vitamin K3 supplemental level group was significantly lower than that of the 0.5, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0 and 8.0 mg/kg vitamin K3 supplemental level groups (P<0.05). The plasma alkaline phosphatase activity of 2.0 mg/kg vitamin K3 supplemental level group was significantly higher than that of 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 8.0 mg/kg vitamin K3 supplemental level groups (P<0.05). 4) The plasma protein induced by vitamin K absence or antagonist-Ⅱ (PIVKA-Ⅱ) content of 8.0 mg/kg vitamin K3 supplemental level group was significantly lower than that of 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mg/kg vitamin K3 supplemental level groups (P<0.05). The contents of osteocalcin and undercarboxylated osteocalcin in plasma of 0 mg/kg vitamin K3 supplemental group were significantly higher than those of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0 and 8.0 mg/kg vitamin K3 supplemental level groups (P<0.05). In conclusion, dietary vitamin K3 might affect the regulation of vitamin K-dependent proteins such as prothrombin precursor protein PIVKA-Ⅱ and osteocalcin by participating in carboxylation to regulate the blood coagulation and bone metabolism. Considering to the contents of phosphorus and undercarboxylated osteocalcin in plasma, the dietary vitamin K3 suitable supplemental level of Pekin ducks during 1 to 21 days of age is 0.5 mg/kg.
