Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary quercetin on egg quality and lipid metabolism of laying hens during middle-late laying period. Three hundred and twenty 46-week-old healthy Hy-line brown laying hens with similar body weight and laying rate were randomly divided into 4 groups with 8 replicates per group and 10 hens per replicate. The hens in control group were fed a basal diet, and those in experimental groups were fed the basal diet supplemented with 100, 300 and 600 mg/kg quercetin, respectively. The pre-feeding period lasted for 1 week, and the experimental period lasted for 10 weeks. The results showed as follows:1) compared with the control group, dietary supplemented with 100, 300 and 600 mg/kg quercetin significantly increased the eggshell thickness, eggshell strength and albumen height (P<0.01), and the albumen height and Haugh unit had a quadratic change with quercetin supplemental level increasing (P<0.05), it was first increased and then decreased. 2) With the quercetin supplemental level increasing, the abdominal fat rate showed a quadratic change which was first decreased and then increased (P<0.05), while the liver index showed a linear decreasing trend (P=0.095). 3) With the quercetin supplemental level increasing, the platelet count showed a linear increasing trend (P=0.075), and the platelet-larger cell ratio had a quadratic change (P=0.028). Compared with the control group, dietary supplemented with 100, 300 and 600 mg/kg quercetin significantly decreased the serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride and non-esterified fatty acid contents (P<0.01), and dietary supplemented with 300 mg/kg quercetin significantly decreased the serum total cholesterol and glucose contents (P<0.01). 4) With the quercetin supplemental level increasing, the serum total cholesterol and glucose were reduced significantly (P<0.01), and the serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride and free fatty acid contents showed a linear-quadratic change (P<0.05). In addition, dietary supplemented with 100, 300 and 600 mg/kg quercetin significantly decreased the hepatic triglyceride content (P<0.01). 5) Dietary 100 to 600 mg/kg quercetin significantly increased the contents of adiponectin and leptin in serum (P<0.01). These results indicate that under the conditions of this experiment, dietary supplemented with quercetin can improve body lipid metabolism, reduce fat deposition in liver and abdomen, and improve egg quality of laying hens during the middle-late laying period, and 300 mg/kg quercetin supplemental level has the best effect.
