Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary with different levels of marigold extract on performance, egg quality, immune function and antioxidant capacity of Taihang chickens. Two hundred and eighty-eight heathy 56-week-old Taihang chickens with similar body weight and laying rate were randomly divided into 4 groups with 4 replicates per group and 18 chickens per replicate. Chickens in control group were fed a basal diet, while those in 3 experimental groups were fed experimental diets which added 100, 200 and 300 mg/kg marigold extract into the basal diet. The pre-feeding period was 7 days, and the formal trial period was 28 days. The results showed that compared with the control group, 1) in the term of performance, the laying rate and average egg weight of 200 mg/kg marigold extract group were significantly increased (P<0.05); 2) in the term of egg quality, adding 100, 200 and 300 mg/kg marigold extract into the diet significantly increased yolk color on day 28 (P<0.05), and adding 100, 200 and 300 mg/kg marigold extract into the diet significantly increased the lutein content in egg yolk on day 28 (P<0.05); 3) in the term of immune function, on day 14, the serum immunoglobulin A (IgA) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) contents of 200 and 300 mg/kg marigold extract groups were significantly increased (P<0.05), and the serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) content of 3 experimental groups was significantly increased (P<0.05); on day 28, the serum IgA and IgM contents of 3 experimental groups were significantly increased (P<0.05); and the serum IgG content in 200 and 300 mg/kg marigold extract groups was significantly increased (P<0.05); 4) in the term of antioxidant capacity, on day 28, the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities in liver of 200 and 300 mg/kg marigold extract groups were significantly increased (P<0.05), while the malondialdehyde (MDA)content in liver of 200 and 300 mg/kg marigold extract groups was significantly decreased (P<0.05). In conclusion, adding 200 mg/kg marigold extract into the diet can improve the laying rate, yolk color, immune function and antioxidant capacity of Taihang chickens under the conditions of this experiment.
