ABSTRACT
Moradi kor N, Ziaei N, Moradi K., Effect of different levels of Vitamin-E and Selenomethionine supplementation on serum biochemistry in
Lohman LS laying hens. Onl J Vet Res., 17(7):383-390, 2013. 270 laying hens (65-wk old Lohman-LSL Lite) were
assigned to 9 experimental diets consisting of 5 replicates and 6 hens per
cage. A
3×3 factorial arrangement
including 3 levels
of vitamin E (0, 125, 250 mg/kg diet from
α-tocopherol acetate) and 3 of selenium (0, 0.75, 1.5 mg/kg diet from selenomethionine) was used for a 6 wk
trial period. At the end of experiment
blood samples were taken via wing vein from one randomly-selected hen per each
replicate and sera stored at -20°C for determination of glucose, cholesterol,
triglycerides (TG), low and high density lipoproteins (LDL and HDL), total
protein (TP), albumin and globulin. The general linear model procedure of SAS
software was used for data analysis and differences among treatment means
determined using the Duncan’s multiple-range test. The findings suggested that a
combination of vitamin E and selenium at a level of 250 and 1.5 mg/kg added to
the diet decreased serum cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL and increased HDL
concentrations.
Key Words: Vitamin-E, Selenomethionine, Laying hen, Metabolites.
