Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different supplemental levels of riboflavin on growth performance, serum biochemical indices, antioxidant capacity and intestinal development of Magang geese during 1 to 21 days of age. A total of 720 healthy 1-day-old Magang gander geese with similar body weight were randomly divided into 6 groups with 6 replicates per group and 20 geese per replicate. Geese in the control group were fed a corn-barley-soybean meal basal diet (riboflavin content was 2.48 mg/kg) without adding riboflavin, and those in experimental groups were fed the basal diet supplemented with 2.6, 5.2, 10.4, 20.8 and 41.6 mg/kg riboflavin, respectively. The experiment lasted for 21 days. The results showed as follows:1) dietary riboflavin supplemental level had no significant effects on average final weight, average daily gain, average daily feed intake and feed/gain ratio of Magang geese during 1 to 21 days of age (P>0.05). 2) Dietary riboflavin supplemental level had no significant effects on the contents of riboflavin, albumin, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol and the activities of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase in serum of Magang geese at 21 days of age (P>0.05). The serum triglyceride content in 10.4 and 20.8 mg/kg riboflavin groups was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05), and the serum total protein content in all experimental groups was significantly lower than that in control group (P<0.05). 3) Dietary riboflavin supplemental level had no significant differences in the serum total antioxidant capacity, malondialdehyde content, total superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities of Magang geese at 21 days of age (P>0.05). 4) Dietary riboflavin supplemental level had no significant effects on the relative length of each intestinal tract, the relative weight of jejunum, rectum and cecum, the crypt depth of duodenum, the villus height of jejunum and the intestinal morphology of ileum of Magang geese at 21 days of age (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, diet supplemented with 20.8 and 41.6 mg/kg riboflavin significantly decreased the relative weight of duodenum, ileum and total intestine (P<0.05), and significantly increased the duodenal villus height (P<0.05). The villus height/crypt depth of jejunum in 20.8 mg/kg riboflavin group was significantly higher than that in other groups (P<0.05). In conclusion, dietary supplementation of riboflavin has no significant effects on the growth performance and antioxidant capacity of Magang geese during 1 to 21 days of age, but it can improve the intestinal morphology of Magang geese at 21 days of age. Therefore, considering the growth performance, the dietary riboflavin content of Magang geese during 1 to 21 days of age is recommended to be no less than 2.48 mg/kg.
