An experiment was conducted to examine pulmonary hypertension and lipid peroxidation of broilers as affected by dietary fat source and α-tocopheryl acetate. Two hundred and forty day-old male chicks were used in a completely randomized design with five treatments consisted of four replicates and 12 chicks per replicate. Treatments included a control group that received no supplemental fat (treatment 1) or groups that received diets supplemented with beef tallow, soybean oil, a 50:50 blend of beef tallow and soybean oil, or soybean oil plus α-tocopheryl acetate added at 220 mg/kg (treatments 2 to 5). All diets were kept isoenergetic and isonitrogenous and diet treatments 2 to 5 had 50 g/kg of fat supplement. Results showed that weight gain and feed consumption were significantly (p ≤ 0.05) increased by adding fat to the diet during the starter stage. However, birds that received fat-supplemented diets gained less (p ≤ 0.05) during the grower period. Serum malone dialdehyde concentration and glutathione peroxidase activity were not affected by dietary treatments with the exception that inclusion of α-tocopheryl acetate to the diet supplemented with soybean oil significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the activity of the enzyme when measured at 21 days of age. The relative weights of heart and liver and the right ventricle weight to total ventricle weight ratio were greater in broilers fed fat-supplemented diets (p < 0.05). |
