“…7). DISCUSSION Plasma AA has been shown to be reduced in chicks experiencing stress (Satterfield et al, 1940;Hill and Garren, 1958;Perek and Kendler, 1963;Nockels et al, 1973). Hill and Garren (1958) speculated that AA is an essential nutrient in chicks that are experiencing stress.…”

Four experiments were conducted to determine if supplemental ascorbic acid (AA) would ameliorate the immunosuppression induced by exogenous cortisol (COL). Supplemental AA was provided in the diets at levels of 0 and 1000 ppm. Administration of COL significantly lowered plasma AA at both 0 and 10 days postimmunization, and AA supplementation elevated plasma AA at both times. Cortisol-treated chicks exhibited significantly reduced agglutinins to sheep red blood cells but not to Brucella abortus. Supplemental AA significantly ameliorated the immunosuppression associated with exogenous COL and may serve as an antiimmunosuppressive agent in the chicken.

“…There is evidence suggesting an association between ascorbic acid and resistance to bacterial infections (Gross et al, 1988) and consequently on mortality rates. Chickens infected with fowl typhoid had reduced levels of ascorbic acid in the blood and the administration of ascorbic acid resulted in reduced early but not late mortality (Satterfield et al, 1940). This may be because the quantity of superoxide radical present in phagocytes is increased by an optimum level of ascorbic acid (Scarpa et al, 1983;Som et al, 1983).…”

“…Furthermore, Hill and Garren (1955) have shown that ascorbic acid increased the resistance of chicks to fowl typhoid when fed with other vitamins. Satterfield et al (1940) presented evidence indicating that in many poultry diseases, including fowl typhoid, the plasma ascorbic acid level was lower than that of nondiseased birds. Squibb et al (1955) also found variation in the serum ascorbic acid levels of chicks with disease, the level being lower in coryza and higher in birds with cholera and Newcastle disease than in non-diseased birds.…”
