Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary tea polyphenols (TP) performance, egg quality, plasma antioxidant parameters and oviduct morphology of Changshun green-shell laying hens. A total of 240 health laying hens at 180 days of age were randomly assigned into 3 groups with 10 replicate per group and 8 laying hens per replicate. Hens in the control group was fed a basal diet, and others in experimental groups were fed the basal diet supplemented 200 and 400 mg/kg TP, respectively. The pre-experimental period lasted for 1 week, and the experimental period lasted for 8 weeks. The results showed as follows:1) compared with the control group, dietary 200 and 400 mg/kg TP significantly decreased the average daily feed intake and average egg weight of laying hens during 1 to 4 weeks (P<0.05), and dietary 400 mg/kg TP significantly decreased the average daily feed intake of laying hens during 5 to 8 weeks (P<0.05). 2) Compared with the control group, dietary 400 mg/kg TP significantly increased the Haugh unit and yolk color of laying hens at weeks 4 and 8 (P<0.05), and dietary 200 mg/kg TP significantly increased the Haugh unit of laying hens at weeks 4 and 8 (P<0.05). 3) Compared with the control group, dietary 400 mg/kg TP significantly decreased the plasma malondialdehyde content (P<0.05); dietary 200 and 400 mg/kg TP significantly increased the plasma superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities (P<0.05), and significantly increased the plasma total antioxidant capacity (P<0.05). 4) Compared with the control group, dietary 400 mg/kg TP improved the oviduct magnum morphology, and significantly increased the villus height and villus width in oviduct magnum (P<0.05). In conclusion, dietary 400 mg/kg TP decrease the average egg weight and average dietary feed intake, increase the antioxidant capacity, and partly improve the egg quality and magnum morphology of laying hens.
