Abstract

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of dietary vitamin e supplemental level on laying performance, egg quality and antioxidant performance of breeding laying ducks, to provide reference for the rational application of vitamin E in the diet of laying ducks. A single factor completely randomized experimental design was adopted, a total of 504 healthy 120-day-old Fujian Longyan ducks with similar body weight were randomly divided into 6 groups with 6 replicates in each group and 14 ducks in each replicate. The dietary vitamin E supplemental levels in each group were 0 (control), 12.5, 25.0, 50.0, 100.0 and 200.0 mg/kg, respectively. The experiment lasted for 24 weeks. The results showed as follows:1) compared with the control group, the laying rate and daily egg weight were significantly increased when dietary vitamin E supplemental level was 12.5 mg/kg (P<0.05), and the feed to egg ratio was significantly decreased (P<0.05). 2) Compared with the control group, the yolk malondialdehyde (MDA) content was significantly decreased when dietary vitamin E supplemental level were 100.0 and 200.0 mg/kg (P<0.05). 3) Compared with the control group, the plasma and liver MDA content was significantly decreased when dietary vitamin E supplemental level were 12.5, 25.0, 50.0, 100.0 and 200.0 mg/kg (P<0.05). 4) Compared with the control group, the liver nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) mRNA relative expression level was significantly decreased when dietary vitamin E supplemental level were 100.0 and 200.0 mg/kg (P<0.05). In summary, dietary vitamin E supplementation can decrease the body lipid peroxidation level of breeding laying ducks, it gets the best laying rate, daily egg weight and feed to egg ratio when dietary vitamin E supplemental level is 12.5 mg/kg, and the higher vitamin E supplemental levels have no significantly improving effect on laying performance.
