“…They concluded that the increase in spleen weight with supplemental vitamin E was likely to represent an increase in the number of lymphocytes. Results of CA in the present study are justified by Islam et al (2008) who reported positive effect of citric acid on liver weight in broilers. Also, Ali et al (2012) found that dietary organic acids significantly increased the weight of liver and gizzard in Japanese quails.…”

n experiment was conducted for a period of 9 wks. to investigate the effect of adding some antioxidants to diet contain fatty acids on growth performance, some physiological and hematological parameters as well as evaluating the carcass characteristics of Silver Montazah male chicks. For this purpose 315 five-weeks old Silver Montazah (SM) males were used up to 14 wks. of age. All chicks were randomly divided into seven equal groups (45 chicks, each) with three replicates (15 chicks each). Chicks were wing banded and individually weighed, with nearly similar average initial live body weight of all groups. The 1 st group was fed the basal diet that contained Linoleic acid (n-6) and Linolenic acid (n-3) at the ratio of 4:1, respectively and served as control. The 2 nd and 3 rd groups were fed the basal control diet supplemented with 125 and 250g Butylated Hydroxy Toluene/Ton diet, respectively. The 4 th and 5 th groups were fed the basal control diet supplemented with 100 and 200g vit. E /Ton diet, respectively. The 6 th and 7 th groups were fed the basal control diet supplemented with 5 and 10kg citric acid /Ton diet, respectively. Results indicated that dietary antioxidants supplementation especially citric acid at the two studied levels and vit. E (200 g/Ton) significantly (P≤0.01) increased live body weight at 9 and 14 wks. of age, body weight gain during the periods of 5-9 and 5-14 wks. of age, and improved feed conversion ratio during the periods of 5-9 and 5-14 wks of age compared to the control group. Moreover, significant increases were obtained for red blood cells (RBC's) and plasma total protein and globulin concentrations for groups fed diet supplemented with antioxidants compared with the control group. Conversely, significant lower heterophils/ lymphocytes ratio and plasma concentration of total lipid, cholesterol and triglycerides were associated with supplemental antioxidants. Relative weights of liver and spleen of SM males were increased with antioxidants supplementation. In conclusion, for attaining the goal of economic improvement of meat production from local strain of chicken (SM) in Egypt. Dietary supplemental of antioxidants to feed containing fatty acids is practical application especially by 5 and 10kg citric acid and 200g vit. E /Ton diet to SM male chicks, could promoted the growth performance and had beneficial effects on some physiological and hematological parameters, as well as adjusted the carcass characteristics and immune status.

“…However, Abdel-Fattah et al (2008) showed that the addition of 1.5 or 3% citric acid increased the Ca and P concentrations in the blood serum. However, citric acid did not affect the osteocalcin, or the blood serum content of 1,25 (OH) 2, vitamin (D) or Ca of chickens fed a diet containing 0, 0.25, 0.75 and 1.25% citric acid (Islam et al, 2010). In addition, citric acid affected mineral utilization, but did not affect the plasma mineral contents (Nourmohammadi et al, 2010).…”

The study aims at improving the utilization of olive cake (OC) containing-diets for laying hens by citric acid supplementation at 0.1 and 0.2%. Olive cake was collected and dried by sunny warm air at an average temperature of 45°C with continuous stirring until completely dried. Then, the OC was included in isonutritive diets at 0, 10 and 20%. Additionally, citric acid was added at 0, 0.1 and 0.2%. This resulted in 3(OC levels)×3(citric acid concentrations), producing 9 different treatments. Each treatment was represented by eight replicates of three laying hens each. The diets were fed to laying hens from 40 to 56 weeks of age. Olive cake inclusion up to 20% without citric acid supplementation in the diets of laying hens did not affect laying performance, egg quality or liver function indices, but 10% and 20% OC diets increased feed intake and impaired the feed conversion ratio (FCR) compared with the control group. Citric acid added at 0.1% to the diets of laying hens containing 20% OC yielded similar FCR to the unsupplemented control. In addition, citric acid supplementation at 0.1% significantly decreased relative weight of liver compared with the other levels of citric acid, which is obvious in OC-free diet, and it significantly increased relative weight of ovary compared with the control diet, which is obvious in different diets. In conclusion, OC could be used in the laying hens' diets at 20% when supplemented with 0.1% citric acid without negative effects on laying performance, egg quality and blood metabolites.

n experiment was conducted for a period of 12 wks to investigate the effect of some antioxidants in the diet on productive performance and some physiological and hematological parameters as well as fertility and hatchability of chickens. For this purpose, 231 Silver Montazah strain birds (210 hens and 21 cocks) 24-wks-old were used in this experiment up to 36 wks of age. All birds were individually weighed and randomly divided into 7 equal experimental groups (30 hens and 3 cocks of each) with three replicates (10 hens and 1 cock each) with almost similar initial average body weight. Replicates were randomly housed in floor pens (280 cm long x 220 cm wide). The 1 st group was fed the basal diet that supplemented linoleic acid (n-6) and linolenic acid (n-3) at the ratio of 4:1, respectively and served as control. The 2 nd and 3 rd groups were fed the basal diet supplemented with 125 and 250 g Butylated Hydroxy Toluene/ton diet, respectively. The 4 th and 5 th groups were fed the basal diet supplemented with 100 and 200 g vit. E /ton diet, respectively. The 6 th and 7 th groups were fed the basal diet supplemented with 5 and 10 kg citric acid/ton diet, respectively. Results indicated that antioxidants supplementation significantly increased egg number, egg production percentage and egg mass and improved feed conversion ratio and egg shell thickness compared to the control group. Moreover, significant increase was obtained for blood hemoglobin, red blood cells and white blood cells, as well as plasma total protein, globulin and high density lipoproteins for groups fed antioxidants compared with the control group. Ejaculate volume, sperm motility, live sperm percentage, sperm concentration, total sperm per ejaculate and total live sperm per ejaculate, as well as fertility and hatchability percentages were increased. Conversely, significant lower heterophils/lymphocytes ratio and plasma concentration of total lipids, cholesterol, triglycerides and lowdensity lipoproteins were associated with supplemental antioxidants, while abnormal sperm percentage was decreased with antioxidants supplementation. In conclusion, dietary supplemental of some antioxidants to feed containing fatty acids is a practical application recommended especially by 100 and 200 g vit. E or 10 kg citric acid/ton diet to Silver Montazah chickens strain during the laying period and had beneficial effects on productive, reproductive, physiological and hematological parameters and immune status.
