Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary xylooligosaccharide (XOS) on egg quality, serum antioxidant function and lipid metabolism of laying hens. Four hundred and eighty healthy 45-week-old Hy-Line brown laying hens with similar body weight and egg production were randomly divided into 5 groups containing 8 replicates of 12 birds each. Layers in the control group were fed a basal diet, and those in the experimental groups were fed the basal diet supplemented with 0.01%, 0.02%, 0.04% and 0.08% XOS, respectively. The feeding trial lasted for 12 weeks followed a one-week adaptation phase. The results showed as follows:1) dietary 0.01% to 0.08% XOS linearly increased the yolk color at the end of week 12 (P<0.05). 2) At the end of week 12, with the XOS supplemental level increasing, the serum glutathione peroxidase activity of laying hens was linearly increased (P<0.05), and the serum malondialdehyde content had a quadratic change (P<0.05), that was, it was first decreased and then increased with the increase of XOS supplemental level. Dietary 0.01% to 0.08% XOS linearly decreased the serum aspartate aminotransferase activity of laying hens at the end of week 12 (P<0.05). 3) With the XOS supplemental level increasing, the serum contents of triglyceride and low density lipoprotein cholesterol showed a linear decreasing trend (0.05 ≤ P<0.10), the serum very low density lipoprotein content was linearly decreased (P<0.05), and serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol content showed a quadratic trend (0.05 ≤ P<0.10), that was, with the increase of XOS supplemental level, it was firstly increased and then decreased, while the liver index and liver triglyceride content showed a linear increase with the increase of XOS supplemental level (0.05 ≤ P<0.10). In addition, dietary XOS significantly decreased the contents of total cholesterol and triglyceride in egg yolk (P<0.05). In conclusion, dietary XOS can improve the yolk color of laying hens, which may be related to the improvement of serum antioxidant function and regulation of lipid metabolism of laying hens.
