“…Dietary L-Arg (g/kg of the diet) SEM 0.000 0 These results are in accordance with the findings of Silva et al [12] who reported that L-Arginine supplementation had a positive effect on egg production and hatchability in breeders. In this regard, it is well documented that dietary L-Arg might be potentially used to improve the fertility of broiler breeder hens due to the sperm penetration in the perevitelline membrane [13].…”

“…In addition to improving production performance, adequate essential amino acid supplementation promotes better internal and external egg quality (Novak et al, 2004;Silva et al, 2012). This effect was observed in the present study, in which egg mass increased with arginine supplementation and presented a quadratic behavior up to 1048 mg of digestible arginine addition per kg of feed.…”

This study was performed to evaluate the effects of the association of different digestible arginine and phytogenic additive dietary levels on performance and health status of brown-egg layers. In this study, a total of 504 33-week-old Hisex Brown layers were distributed into a completely randomized experimental design to a 4 × 3 factorial arrangement (dietary digestible arginine levels: 880, 968, 1056, or 1144 mg/kg of feed × phytogenic additive levels: 0, 100, and 200 mg/kg of feed) with six replicate cages of seven birds per cage. The phytogenic additive was composed of extracts of Baccharis dracunculifolia (40%), Astragalus membranaceus lipopolysaccharides (20%), cinnamon, and grape seed (20%). Feed intake was reduced when diets containing 1056 mg of arginine were supplemented with 100 or 200 mg phytogenic additive per kg. Feed conversion ratio was improved when diets were supplemented with 100 mg of phytogenic additive or with 1056 mg of arginine per kg of feed. Egg mass was increased when diets were supplemented with 1056 mg arginine per kg of feed. Arginine supplementation quadratically increased albumen percentage and reduced yolk percentage. Higher arginine and phytogenic additive levels reduced heterophyl:lymphocyte ratio and blood uric acid, total cholesterol, very-low density lipoprotein, and triglyceride levels. Dietary supplementation of 100 mg of phytogenic additive associated with high arginine levels increased nitric oxide production by peritoneal macrophages and 1056 mg of arginine increased antibodies titers against Newcastle disease virus. Blood and intestinal malonaldehyde levels were reduced when 200 mg of the phytogenic additive was added. Dietary supplementation of 968 mg of arginine or 100 mg of a phytogenic additive (40% Baccharis dracunculifolia, 20% Astragalus membranaceus, 20% cinnamon, and 20% grape seed extracts) per kilogram of diet improves the feed conversion ratio and associated inclusion of 1144 mg of arginine and 100 mg of phytogenic additive per kilogram of diet improves immune responses and health status of brown-egg layers.

“…IGF-1 is a powerful mitogen, with roles in regulating the growth of various tissues, including muscle and brain (Stuart and Page 2010). One of the reasons that arginine can affect growth may be that it is a powerful secretagogue, increasing the release of insulin, GH and IGF-I into the blood stream (Silva et al 2012). In the present study, even though serum GH did not change as the dietary arginine level increased, the IGF-I levels of the chicks significantly increased.…”

2018)Effects of arginine on the growth performance, hormones, digestive organ development and intestinal morphology in the early growth stage of layer chickensABSTRACT The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of arginine on the growth performance, hormones, digestive organ development and intestinal morphology of chicks of laying hens. A total of three hundred 1-d-old male Lohmann Brown chicks were randomly assigned to five groups, each with six replicate sets of 10 birds. The five groups were fed different diets containing 1.19, 1.44, 1.69, 1.94 or 2.19% arginine from 1 d to 42 d of age. The results showed that dietary levels of arginine had a significant effect on body weight at 14, 28 and 42 d (p < .05). The insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) concentration in serum was significantly increased with increasing levels of dietary arginine (p < .05). With the increase in dietary arginine, chicks had a higher relative liver weight (p < .05). Levels of 1.94 and 2.19% dietary arginine had a more positive effect on the length (p < .05) and relative weight of the small intestine (p < .05), respectively. The morphology of the duodenal mucosa and the villus height of the ileum in chicks were significantly affected by the dietary arginine levels (p < .05). This study suggested that 1.44% dietary arginine provided the maximum body weight of layer chickens during their early development by increasing the villus height in both the duodenum and ileum, whereas 2.19% dietary arginine inhibited the growth of the chicks via a shorter villus height in the intestinal mucosa and excessive serum IGF-I.
