Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different levels of organic complex trace elements replacing inorganic trace elements on growth performance, slaughter performance, serum antioxidant and immune indices, and fecal copper, iron, manganese and zinc contents of Cherry Valley ducks from 1 to 42 days of age, so as to determine the appropriate supplemental level of organic trace elements in diets for meat ducks. A total of 525 healthy Cherry Valley ducks of 1-day-old were randomly divided into 5 groups with 7 replicates per group and 15 ducks per replicate. Diet in the control group (100% inorganic group) was provided with 100% of the recommended amount of trace elements in the form of inorganic salts, and those in the 4 organic groups were supplemented with 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of the recommended amount of copper, iron, manganese and zinc in the form of hydroxy-methionine chelation, respectively. The experiment lasted for 42 days. The diets were divided into two stages (1 to 21 days of age in the early stage and 22 to 42 days of age in the late stage), and the nutrient levels of all groups were the same except copper, iron, manganese and zinc. The results showed as follows:1) there were no significant differences in the average daily gain, average daily feed intake and final weight of meat ducks in all stages among all groups (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the ratio of feed to gain in the late and whole stages in 75% and 100% organic groups was significantly decreased (P<0.05). 2) Compared with the control group, the dressing percentage, semi-eviscerated percentage and eviscerated percentage of meat ducks in the 4 organic groups were increased, and 75% and 100% organic groups reached a significant level (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in breast muscle percentage, leg muscle percentage and abdominal fat percentage of meat ducks among all groups (P>0.05). 3) Compared with the control group, the activities of total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) and copper zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD) in serum of meat ducks in the 4 organic groups were significantly increased (P<0.05). 4) Compared with the control group, the contents of complement 3 (C3) and immunoglobulin A (IgA) in serum of meat ducks in the 4 organic groups were significantly increased (P<0.05), and the immunoglobulin G (IgG) content in serum in 75% and 100% organic groups was significantly increased (P<0.05). 5) The contents of copper, iron, manganese and zinc in feces of meat ducks in 100% organic group were the highest, and the contents of copper, iron and zinc in feces in 25% organic group were significantly lower than those in the control group and 100% organic group (P<0.05). In conclusion, according to the evaluation indices of growth performance, slaughter performance, antioxidant capacity and immune performance, 25% to 50% supplementation of copper, iron, manganese and zinc in the form of methionine chelated can reduce the content of trace elements in feces of Cherry Valley ducks from 1 to 42 days of age, and can reach the effects of 100% inorganic trace elements supplementation. The recommended supplemental levels of methionine chelated copper, iron, manganese and zinc for Cherry Valley ducks from 1 to 42 days age are 2, 15, 25 and 15 mg/kg, respectively.
