Abstract

The purpose of this experiment was to evaluate the effect of rubber seed oil (RSO) on growth performance and plasma biochemical, antioxidant and immune parameters of broilers under heat stress. A total of 864 one-day-old Arbor Acres (AA) broilers were allotted to 4 groups with 12 replicates in each group and 18 broilers in each replicate. Broilers in the control group were fed a basal diet (contained 1 soybean oil), and the others in experimental groups were fed experimental diets contained 1% (group Ⅰ), 2% (group Ⅱ) and 4% RSO (group Ⅲ), respectively. Broilers in all groups were fed in a high temperature environment[(34±2)℃], and the experiment lasted for 42 days. The results showed as follows:1) compared with the control group, the body weight at 42 days of age of group Ⅰ, group Ⅱ and group Ⅲ was significantly increased (P<0.01), the average daily feed intake (ADFI) and average daily gain (ADG) during 1 to 42 days of age were significantly increased (P<0.01), and the feed to gain ratio (F/G) during 1 to 42 days of age was significantly decreased (P<0.01). 2) Compared with the control group, the plasma total protein (TP) content of group Ⅰ and group Ⅲ was significantly decreased (P<0.05), the contents of albumin (ALB), total cholesterol (TC), triiodothyronine (T3) and tetraiodothyronine (T4) in plasma of group Ⅰ, group Ⅱ and group Ⅲ were significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01), the plasma alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity of group Ⅱ and group Ⅲ was significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the plasma alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ was significantly decreased (P<0.05). 3) Compared with the control group, the plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) content of group Ⅰ, group Ⅱ and group Ⅲ was significantly decreased (P<0.05), the plasma total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) activity of group Ⅰ, group Ⅱ and group Ⅲ was significantly increased (P<0.05), and the plasma antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) of group Ⅱ and group Ⅲ was significantly increased (P<0.05). In conclusion, dietary supplemented with RSO can improve the growth performance, immune and antioxidant capacity of broilers under heat stress.
