          Abstract

          Objetive. To determine the effects of high temperature, the high humidity and the index on production performance in layer chickens supplemented with vitamins C and E. Materials and methods. The experiment was carried out from July 14th to August 15th. A total of 720 L33 layer chickens, 39 weeks old, were divided at random into four groups (180 birds/group), by replicates (n=4): Control Group) was fed with a basal diet and treatment groups were fed with the basal diet supplemented with either 150 mg of l-ascorbic acid/g of diet (Group Vit. C) or 150 mg of dl-α-tocopherol acetate /kg, of diet (Group Vit. E), and 150 mg of l-ascorbic acid /kg of diet plus 150 mg of dl-α-tocopherol acetate/kg of diet (Group Vit C + E). Results. Egg/bird were higher (p<0.05) in all treatment groups when compared to control group, but p value was highly significant in vitamin E treated group. Likewise, the laying index was different (p<0.05) in all treatment groups when compared to control, and P value was highly significant in vitamin E treated group. Although, viability was not affected by vitamin C, vitamin E and vitamin C+E groups when compared to control (p>0.05). However, feed consumption and conversion were different (p<0.05) in treatment groups when compared to control group. Conclusions. Dietary supplementation with 150 mg vitamin C and/or 150 mg vitamin E increased production performance in heat stressed layer chickens.

          Objetivo. Investigar los efectos de la alta temperatura y humedad relativa y su índice sobre el rendimiento productivo en las gallinas ponedoras suplementada con las vitaminas C y E. Materiales y métodos. Se realizó el experimento desde 14 de Julio a 15 de Agosto. 720 gallinas ponedoras L33, y de 39 semanas de edad, fueron dividas en cuatro grupos de 180 aves. Se suministró un grupo con dieta basal (Control) y los grupos de tratamientos fueron suministrados con dieta basal y suplementada con 150 mg de acido l-ascórbico/kg de dieta (grupo vitamina C), 150 mg de acetato dl-α-tocoferol/kg de dieta (grupo vitamina E), mientras el último grupo, se suministró 150 mg de acido l-ascórbico/kg de dieta mas 150 mg de acetato dl-α-tocoferol/kg de dieta (grupo vitamina C+E). Resultados. Huevo/ave fueron significativamente (p<0.05) mayor en todos los grupos tratados en comparación con el control, pero el p fue más alta en el grupo tratado con vitamina E. De mismo modo se observó una diferencia (p<0.05) significativa en el índice de postura en todos los grupos tratados en comparación con el control. Aunque la viabilidad no fue afectada en todos los grupos. Sin embargo, el consumo y la conversión alimentaria fueron diferentes (p<0.05) significativamente en todos los grupos tratados en comparación con el control. Conclusiones. La suplementacion dietética de 150 mg de vitamina C y/o 150 mg de vitamina E aumentó el rendimiento productivo en las gallinas ponedoras sometidas a estrés calórico.

              Effects of vitamin E and C supplementation on performance, in vitro lymphocyte proliferation, and antioxidant status of laying hens during heat stress.

              Vitamin E (dl-alpha-tocopheryl acetate) was evaluated for its effects on performance, lymphocyte proliferation, and antioxidation in layers during heat stress. In Trial 1, 25, 45, or 65 IU of vitamin E/kg were fed to four replicated pens (five hens/cage) of DeKalb Delta or Hy-Line W-36 per treatment starting at 20 wk of age. At 34 wk of age, hens were heat-stressed at diurnal temperature ranging from 21 C to 35 C for 3 wk. The performances of hens not exposed to heat stress were not influenced by supplemental vitamin E. Supplemental vitamin E did not affect egg production; however, egg mass was greater (P < 0.05) with supplementation of 65 IU of vitamin E/ kg during heat stress. Egg yolk was significantly increased (P < 0.04) when hens were fed 45 and 65 lU/kg compared with the control vitamin E level (25 lU/kg). Haugh units were higher (P < 0.01) for hens fed 65 IU of vitamin E/kg compared to 25 and 45 lU/kg. Lymphocyte proliferative responses to concanavalin A (Con A) and Salmonella typhimurium lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were greater (P < 0.0001) in hens fed 45 and 65 IU of vitamin E/kg during heat stress. Strain had no effect on any of the parameters measured. In Trial 2, a 2 x 2 factorial was designed to test effects of vitamin C in drinking water (0 and 1,000 ppm) and dietary vitamin E (25 and 65 IU/kg). Eight replications per treatment with four hens per replication cage were heat-stressed at constant temperature of 35 C for 3 wk. Egg production and egg mass were higher when hens were fed 65 IU of vitamin E/kg than when hens were fed 25 lU/kg (81.5 vs. 75.9%, P < 0.03 and 48.2 vs. 44.6 g, P < 0.03, respectively). Yolk solids weight for the 65 IU vitamin E/kg group was higher (P < 0.01) compared to the 25 IU/kg group. ConA and LPS mitogenic responses were greater in hens fed 65 IU of vitamin E (P < 0.001 or P < 0.003, respectively) or 1,000 ppm of vitamin C (P < 0.001 or P < 0.002, respectively). The combination of 65 IU vitamin E/kg and 1,000 ppm vitamin C showed the highest ConA and LPS mitogenic responses among the treatments. No interaction effects of the two vitamins on production measurements or lymphocyte proliferative responses were observed. TBA values in egg yolk and plasma of hens fed 65 IU of vitamin E/kg were lower (P < 0.0001) than those of hens that received 25 IU of vitamin E/kg. These results suggest that vitamin E supplementation at 65 IU/kg diet may enhance production, induction of in vitro lymphocyte proliferation by ConA and LPS, and antioxidant properties of egg yolks and plasma of White Leghorn hens during heat stress and that supplementation of 1,000 ppm vitamin C may further enhance in vitro lymphocyte proliferative responses of hens during heat stress.
