Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of vitamin D₃ on reproductive traits of yellow-feathered broiler breeders and the growth performance, immune organ development, tibia characteristics and meat quality of offspring broilers. A total of 720 Lingnan yellow-feathered broiler breeder hens (46 weeks of age) were randomly divided into 6 groups with 6 replicates per group and 20 hens per replicate according to the similar body weight and laying rate, and the hens were fed the basal diet supplemented with 0, 800, 1 600, 2 400, 3 200 and 4 000 IU/kg vitamin D₃, respectively. The experiment lasted for 8 weeks. After chicks were born, 120 offspring broilers were selected from each group according to the principle of consistent body weight for feeding experiment, with 6 replicates in each group and 20 broilers (half male and half female) in each replicate. Offspring broilers were fed the diet supplemented with 1 000 IU/kg vitamin D₃, and the experiment lasted for 63 days. The results showed as follows:1) dietary vitamin D₃ supplemental level significantly affected the oviduct length and relative weight of oviduct and ovarian stroma of yellow-feathered broiler breeders (P<0.05), and the changes were quadratic, linear and quadratic, and linear (P<0.05), respectively. 2) Dietary vitamin D₃ supplemental level for breeders significantly affected the final weight, average daily gain and feed to gain ratio of offspring broilers from 1 to 21 days of age (P<0.05), and all had quadratic changes (P<0.05); but it had no significant effects on the growth performance of offspring broilers from 22 to 42 days and 43 to 63 days of age (P>0.05). Dietary vitamin D₃ supplemental level for breeders had no significant effects on the relative weight of thigh muscle and breast muscle of offspring broilers at 21 and 63 days of age (P>0.05). 3) Dietary vitamin D₃ supplemental level for breeders significantly affected the relative weight of liver and spleen of offspring broilers at 1 day of age and the thymus relative weight at 21 days of age (P<0.05), and all showed quadratic changes (P<0.05). 4) Dietary vitamin D₃ supplemental level for breeders significantly affected the tibia length and perimeter of offspring broilers at 1 day of age (P<0.05), and the changes were quadratic and linear, respectively (P<0.05); significantly affected the weight, length, perimeter and ash content of tibia at 21 days of age (P<0.05), and all were with linear and quadratic changes (P<0.05); but had no significant effects on tibia characteristics at 63 days of age (P>0.05). 5) Dietary vitamin D₃ supplemental level for breeders significantly affected the color brightness (L^*) and yellowness (b^*) values and pH in breast muscle at 24 h postmortem of offspring broilers at 63 days of age (P<0.05). In conclusion, dietary vitamin D₃ supplementa1 level significantly affects the reproductive traits of yellow-feathered broiler breeders and the growth performance (the starter phase), immune organ development, tibia characteristics and meat quality of offspring broilers under the conditions of this experiment. Based on experimental observation and regression analysis, 1 600 to 2 000 IU/kg vitamin D₃ supplementation for breeders can achieve better growth performance of offspring broilers, but 2 600 to 3 800 IU/kg vitamin D₃ supplemental level is needed for optimal reproductive traits of yellow-feathered broiler breeders.
