Administration of triiodothyronine and dopamine to broiler chicks increases growth, feed conversion and visceral organ mass

Abstract: The influences of triiodothyronine (T3) or dopamine (DA) administration on growth, feed conversion, and visceral weights in broiler chicks between the ages of 6 and 12 d posthatch were investigated. In Trial 1, six chicks at age 6 d were randomly administered one of the following treatments: 0.37, 0.74, 1.48, and 2.96 micromol T3/kg BW or 0.07, 0.14, 0.28, and 0.56 micromol DA/kg BW. Both T3 and DA were administered via intraperitoneal injections between the end of sternum and the ends of os pubis, with 0.9% s… Show more

“…Because feeding rates of milk and chow could not be measured in suckling and weaning stages, we could not determine whether the effect of hypothyroidism on intestinal weight and ultimately on body weight was due to the absence of thyroxine or to reductions in feeding rates and therefore to malnutrition. However, increases in intestinal weight of chickens was directly proportional to the level of dietary supplementation of thyroxine (36), suggesting that the effect of thyroxine on intestinal weight is direct.…”

“…Standart büyütme sıcaklığında T 3 in ovo enjeksiyonu 21. gün canlı ağırlığında önemli düzeyde (P<0.05) azalmaya neden olurken, soğuk stresi koşullarında T 3 in ovo enjeksiyonu ile canlı ağırlıktaki ve yem tüketimindeki bu azalma telafi edilebilmiştir. Chang et al (2003) yeme T 3 ilave edilen civcivlerde 7-15 günlük dönemde canlı ağırlığın ve yem tüketiminin azaldığını, yemden yararlanmanın iyileştiğini bildirmişlerdir. Bu sonuçlar bulgularımızı kısmen desteklemektedir.…”

“…İn ovo T 3 hormonu enjeksiyonu etlik piliçlerde kalp oranını etkilememiş ve asitese neden olmamıştır. Oysa literatür bilgileri T 3 ilavesinin kalp ağırlığında artışa neden olduğunu göstermektedir (Chang et al, 2003;Decuypere et al, 1994). Çalışmadaki ölüm oranları etlik piliç yetiştirme standartları ile uyumludur.…”

“…It has been shown that some management practices such as feed restriction can reduce the PHS incidence (Arun and Gita, 2014). However, the feed restriction can act as a stressor on the broiler.The increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production by oxidative stress has been widely accepted to contribute in the pathogenesis of the PHS in broilers chickens (Chang et al, 2003).…”
