Ascites, antioxidant activity, lipid oxidationAbstract
The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of bronchial occlusion (BO, at 21 days of age) and feed restriction (RA, 12 hours day-1) on antioxidant activity and variables related to ascites in broiler chickens raised at 2,278 m altitude. The treatments were: with BO-with RA, with OB-without RA, without OB-with RA, and without OB-without RA. Hematocrit (Hct%) was evaluated in two periods (period one and two: 10 and 16 days after occlusion). In period 2: 10 chickens per treatment were euthanized humanely to evaluate the right ventricular weight relationship with the total ventricular weight (RV:TV). Antioxidant activity (AO) was evaluated in the heart, lung, and liver. Chickens without OB-with RA had the lowest (P < 0.05) Hct% in the two periods evaluated (33.1 and 37%). The lowest mortality from ascites was observed in birds without OB-with RA, and the highest mortality in the birds with OB-without RA (5% and 52%, respectively). Birds without OB-with RA had the lowest (P < 0.05) RV:TV ratio compared to all treatments. Chickens without OB-with RA had the highest (P < 0.05) AO in the heart (78 ± 0.56%), lung (64 ± 0.62%), and liver (83 ± 0.80%) compared to the other treatments. In conclusion, dietary restriction 12 hours a day-1 reduces mortality due to ascites. Occlusion of a primary bronchus is an effective method to develop ascites experimentally in broilers raised at 2,278 m altitude. Ad libitum feeding is a factor driving the development of ascites.
