Effect of vitamin E and organic selenium in the form of in ovo injection on performance, livability and meat quality of broiler chickens

Document Type : Research Paper

Abstract

To evaluate the effect of vitamin E and organic selenium by intra eggs injection method on performance, livability and meat quality of broilers, two tests Were conducted. in the first experiment using 800 Fertilized eggs in a completely randomized design with 5 treatments (treatment1: control, treatment2: In-ovo injection of saline, treatment 3,4 and 5 In-ovo injection of selenium, vitamin E and selenium + vitamin E respectively) and 4 replicates and 40 eggs and in the second experiment, a completely randomized design, with 10 treatments (chicken of the first trial with two diet of recommended levels of selenium and vitamin E and more than the recommended levels) and 3 replicates per treatment and 15 one-day-old broiler chicks of the first experiment were allocated. In the first experiment results showed that intra egg injection of vitamin E and selenium had no significant effects on hatching eggs. In the second test results showed that weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio of chickens were not affected using different levels of selenium and vitamin E. The results showed that the levels of malon di-aldehyde (index TBARS) and storage time in the freezer showed statistically significant difference between the different treatments (P<0/05). In which by increasing the storage time, the water holding capacity and the TBARS increased (P<0/05).
