PHYTOSTEROL DIETARY SUPPLEMENTATION EFFECTS ON THE MEAT QUALITY AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY IN BROILERS
Journal Title: Int J of Pharm Rev& Res - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Phytostrols are a group of naturally occurring plant compounds located in cell membranes. It is used as a dietary for lowering cholesterol intake. We assessed effect of different phytosterol supplementation level feed rations on broiler chicken. We randomly divided 112 One-day old broiler chickens as into 3 main groups. The control group was fed on normal feed; the second group was sub divide into 3 sub-groups fed with 15, 20 and 25 g/kg polyhydroxy phytosterol (Castastesrone). The third groups was also subdivided and fed with 25, 50 and 75 g/kg hydroxyl phytosterol (β-sitosterol)and all fed 45 days. We showed phytosterol did not have a significant (p<0.05) effect on the feed efficiency and feed conversion ratio (FCR), however there was a body weight increase in the phytosterol fed group which clearly corresponded with the diameter, area, and density of myofibers. We noted larger diameter fibers in Fast-growing chickens than slow-growing lines. Moreover, the antioxidant capability of broilers was significantly (p<0.05) improved when fed with phytosterol supplemented diet with no effect on the broiler meat texture properties, area, density and fiber diameter. Consequently, a different amount of phytosterol in feed had no negative effect on broiler meat and produced more suitable meat for human health needs.
