Lysophospholipid Supplementation in Broiler Breeders’ Diet Benefits Offspring’s Productive Performance, Blood Parameters, and Hepatic β-Oxidation Genes

The present study aimed to investigate whether supplementation of modified lysophospholipids (LPLs) in the diet of broiler breeders can benefit their offspring. A total of 264 49-week-old breeders (Ross 308) were allocated and fed based on a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement with two levels of dietary ene...

Description
Summary:The present study aimed to investigate whether supplementation of modified lysophospholipids (LPLs) in the diet of broiler breeders can benefit their offspring. A total of 264 49-week-old breeders (Ross 308) were allocated and fed based on a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement with two levels of dietary energy (normal energy = 2800 kcal/kg and low energy = 2760 kcal/kg) and two LPL levels (0 and 0.5 g/kg) for periods of 8 and 12 weeks. The offspring were assessed for growth performance, serum parameters, hepatic antioxidative capability, and expression of genes involved in liver β-oxidation at 7 days old. The LPL inclusion improved (<i>p</i> < 0.01) average body weight (ABW), average daily gain (ADG), and feed conversion ratio (FCR). The offspring of 61-week-old breeders fed with LPL exhibited reduced serum triglyceride levels (<i>p</i> < 0.01) but an increase in hepatic glutathione peroxidase (<i>p</i> < 0.05). The LPL increased (<i>p</i> < 0.001) the mRNA expression of the <i>PGC-1α</i> gene in the liver. Supplementing LPL in low-energy diets resulted in higher <i>FABP1</i> gene expression (<i>p</i> < 0.05) in the intestine. In conclusion, LPL supplementation in the breeders’ diet improved offspring performance by enhancing fatty acid absorption, hepatic indices, and the expression of genes involved in liver β-oxidation.
