The Effect of Rosemary Leaves (Rosmarinus officinalis) Addition to Diets with High Energy on Laying Hen Performance, Egg Quality Parameters, Serum Lipid Profile and Liver Fat Rate

Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to determine the effects of rosemary leaves (Rosmarinus officinalis) added to laying hen diets on performance, egg quality, serum lipid profile, some antioxidant enzymes and liver fat ratio. A total of 120 Lohman LSL hybrid laying hens at the age of 70 weeks was used in the study, divided into five groups (n=24) and each group was carried out with six replications. The first group was with basal feed (control), the second group was with high energy (3000 kcal kg-1) feed, and the 3rd, 4th and 5th groups were with feeds that added 5, 10 and 15 g kg-1 rosemary leaves, respectively, to high energy (HE) diet. It was fed for 8 weeks.
At the beginning of experiment, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups in initial body weight, feed conversion ratio and egg weight. At all treatment groups final body weight decreased except control group. Feed consumption and egg production decreased in the group that fed with high energy (HE) feed that was not added rosemary. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in albumen, yolk and shell weight, Haugh units, shape index and shell thickness (P>0.05). Although, the addition of rosemary to laying hen rations significantly increased yolk color and shell breaking strength. Serum GPx value was found to increase significantly with the addition of HE+15 g kg-1 rosemary leaf (P<0.001). It has been determined that the addition of rosemary to the feed decreases the plasma triglyceride and VLDL ratio. Liver weight was found to be high in HE+0 g kg-1 group (P<0.001). The liver fat rate was low in all groups that added rosemary leaves.
As a result; it might be said that the addition of rosemary leaves to high energy laying hen diets positively affects shell breaking strength, yolk color, serum triglyceride value, VLDL ratio, liver weight, liver fat ratio and GPx enzyme activity.

Yüksek Enerjili Yemlere Biberiye Yaprağı (Rosmarinus officinalis) İlavesinin, Yumurtacı Tavuklarda Performans, Yumurta Kalite Kriterleri, Serum Lipit Profili ve Karaciğer Yağ Oranı Üzerine Etkisi

Abstract

Araştırmada yumurtacı tavuk rasyonlarına eklenen biberiye yaprağının (Rosmarinus officinalis) performans, yumurta kalite kriterleri, serum lipit profili ve bazı antioksidan enzimler ile karaciğer yağ oranı üzerine olan etkilerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada 70 haftalık yaşta toplam 120 adet Lohman LSL hibrit yumurtacı tavuklar kullanılmış olup, beş gruba ayrılmış (n=24) ve her grup altı tekerrürlü olarak yürütülmüştür. Birinci grup bazal yemle (kontrol), ikinci grup yüksek enerjili yem (3020 kcal kg-1) ile, 3, 4. ve 5. gruplar ise yüksek enerjili (YE) yeme sırasıyla 5, 10, 15 g kg-1 biberiye yaprağı ilave edilen yemlerle 8 hafta süresince beslenmiştir.
Deneme başı canlı ağırlık (CA), yemden yararlanma oranı ve yumurta ağırlığı bakımından gruplar arasında farklılıklar önemsiz bulunmuştur. Deneme sonu CA, kontrol grubunda yüksek diğer gruplarda düşük bulunmuştur. Biberiye ilave edilmeyen yüksek enerjili yem ile beslenen grupta yem tüketimi ve yumurta verimi düşmüştür. Muamele grupları arasında, yumurta ak, sarı ve kabuk oranı, Haugh birimi, şekil indeksi ve kabuk kalınlığı değerleri bakımından istatistiksel olarak önemli bir farklılık görülmemiştir (P>0.05). Bununla birlikte, yumurtacı tavuk rasyonlarına biberiye ilavesi yumurta sarı rengini ve kırılma mukavemetini önemli oranda arttırmıştır. Serum GPx değerinin YE+15 g kg-1 biberiye grubunda önemli derecede yükseldiği görülmüştür (P<0.001). Yüksek enerjili yemlere biberiye ilavesinin plazma trigliserit ve VLDL oranını düşürdüğü tespit edilmiştir. En yüksek karaciğer ağırlığı ve karaciğer yağ oranı YE+0 g kg-1 grubunda saptanmıştır (P<0.001). Biberiye yaprağı ilave edilen bütün gruplarda karaciğer yağ oranı düşük bulunmuştur.
Sonuç olarak; yüksek enerjili yumurta tavuğu rasyonlarına biberiye yaprağı ilavesinin kırılma mukavemeti, yumurta sarı rengi, serum trigliserit değeri, VLDL oranı, karaciğer ağırlığı, karaciğer yağ oranı ve GPx enzim aktivitesini olumlu yönde etkilediği tespit edilmiştir.
