Abstract

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of resveratrol (RES) on growth performance, serum biochemical indexes and antioxidant capacity of broilers. A total of 480 one-day-old Ross 308 broilers were randomly divided into 4 groups with 6 replicates in each group and 20 broilers per replicate. Broilers in group A (control group) were fed a basal diet, those in group B, group C and group D were fed the basal diet supplemented with RES at levels of 200, 500 and 800 mg/kg, respectively. The experiment lasted for 42 days. The results showed as follows:1) compared with group A, the experimental groups had no significant difference in average daily gain, average daily feed intake and feed/gain (P>0.05). 2) There was no significant difference between the experimental groups and group A in serum aspartate aminotransferase activity, glucose, albumin, uric acid, urea, triglyceride and cholesterol contents at 21 and 42 days of age (P>0.05); serum total protein content in group C was significantly lower than that in group A at 42 days of age (P<0.05); serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol content in groups B and C was significantly higher than that in group A at 42 days of age (P<0.05); serum low density lipoprotein cholesterol content in groups C and D was significantly lower than that in group A at 21 days of age (P<0.05). 3) There was no significant difference between the experimental groups and the group A in serum immunoglobulin A and complement 4 contents at 21 and 42 days of age (P>0.05); the content of serum immunoglobulin M in group A was significantly higher than that in group D at 42 days of age (P<0.05). 4) Compared with group A, serum total antioxidant capacity and total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) activity in group C were significantly increased (P<0.05); the basic diet supplemented with RES significantly increased the activity of serum glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) (P<0.05). 5) Compared with group A, heart index, liver index, spleen index and glandular stomach index of broilers in group D were significantly increased (P<0.05). It can be seen that adding RES can significantly improve the antioxidant capacity of broilers, and the supplemental level of 500 mg/kg has a better benefit; it can reduce the contents of cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol in serum, increase the content of high density lipoprotein cholesterol, and improve the body's lipid metabolism.
