Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Three experiments were conducted to determine the effects of 4,15-diacetoxyscirpenol (DAS) on BW, feed consumption, and oral lesions of broiler breeders. In Experiment 1, caged broiler breeder hens were fed 0, 5, 10, or 20 mg DAS/kg diet from 24 to 25 wk of age. There were dose-related decreases in BW and feed consumption indicating feed refusal, as well as dose-related increases in the extent of mouth lesions. The areas of the mouth most sensitive to DAS were associated with the salivary glands and the tip of the tongue. In Experiment 2, individually caged male and female broiler breeders were fed a basal diet containing 0, 5, 10, or 20 mg DAS/kg from 25 to 27 wk of age. There were dose-related decreases in BW and feed consumption for the female broiler breeders, whereas there was a decrease in feed consumption for the male broiler breeders at the 10 and 20 mg DAS/kg levels. In Experiment 3, male broiler breeders were fed 0 or 10 mg DAS/kg diet from 23 to 25 wk of age on a litter floor. For this experiment the daily intake of feed was restricted, and the feed consumption rate was measured. There was an increased amount of unconsumed feed at 23 wk of age due to the presence of DAS. In summary, the experiments provided evidence that DAS caused decreased BW and feed consumption as well as cytotoxic injury including oral lesions in broiler breeders.
