Evaluation of Vitamin C and Polyherbal Antistress Supplementation on Stress and Immune Characters in Broiler Chicken
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
A total of Ninety (90) day old broiler chickens were randomly divided into 3 groups and kept under elevated summer temperature to investigate the effect of ascorbic acid and AYUCEE ® on the antioxidative profiles viz., Thiobarbituric acid reacting substances (TBARS), Super oxide dismutase (SOD), Catalase (CAT) and Glutathione peroxidase (GSH) in both erythrocyte suspension and hepatic tissue concentrations. Heat stress was associated with an increase in TBARS and decrease in antioxidant enzyme profiles in untreated group while supplementation of Ascorbic acid (Vit. C) through feed and AYUCEE® supplementation through drinking water has restored the depleted profiles of antioxidation enzymes of the birds thereby ameliorating heat stress and sustaining the productivity in the commercial broilers.
