“…The present study showed that Cd had a significant impact on shape index (P < 0.01) however, the shape index had not affected by the boron supplementation compare with control (P > 0.05). Consistent with our results, a previous study showed that shape index was not affected by boric acid (60 and 180 mg/kg) supplementation to the diets [19].…”

Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal and one of the most important environmental pollutant that is derived from agricultural and industrial sources. Boron (B) is a metalloid that has beneficial physiological effects on the metabolism of animals and humans. This research is aimed at investigating the effect of calcium tetraborate (CaB4O7) on the ovalbumin levels of quail’s egg and some egg quality traits in laying quails exposed to Cd. For this purpose, one hundred twenty Japanese quail 6-week-old were randomly divided into 4 groups (5 replicates each). During the 8 weeks, quails were fed a basal diet (control) and basal diet supplemented with Cd (100 mg of CdCl2), CaB4O7 (300 mg of CaB4O7), and Cd + CaB4O7 (100 mg of CdCl2 and 300 mg of CaB4O7). A total of 160 eggs including 40 eggs from each group were collected for assessment of the quality of the egg and the ovalbumin level of the eggs. Compared with the Cd group, supplementation of Cd + CaB4O7 increased the egg weight (P < 0.01). Results of this study indicated that dietary supplementation with Cd or CaB4O7 was not affected significantly albumen pH, yolk ratio, and yolk color (P > 0.05). Regarding the egg quality, the significant effect of Cd or CaB4O7 (P < 0.01) was found in shape index, yolk weight, albumen weight, and yolk pH. The dietary combination of Cd and CaB4O7 led to the greatest increases in albumen ratio (P < 0.01). The Cd group had the highest ovalbumin level, while CaB4O7 and Cd + CaB4O7 groups had the same ovalbumin level. The findings of this study revealed that provided new insight into the toxicity of the Cd on ovalbumin level and some egg quality traits and CaB4O7 could be used as a potential strategy to ameliorate Cd toxicity.

“…However, studies examining the effects of boron (Kaya and Macit, 2018) and vitamin D 3 (Yao et al, 2013) on fatty acids and cholesterol are very limited. It should be also stressed that although serum cholesterol level did not alter, yolk cholesterol concentration decreased in boric acid with vitamin D 3 supplementation group, which is consistent with the previous studies in which boron in combination with humate (Koksal et al, 2012) or plant extract mixture did not alter serum cholesterol concentration (Sizmaz et al, 2014).…”

“…The previous studies showed that the body weight, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, egg production and egg weight were not affected by dietary boron in laying hens (Kurtoglu et al, 2002;Sizmaz et al, 2014), whereas the present results also showed that boric acid alone did not influence these parameters; however, when combined with a high dose of vitamin D 3 boric acid negatively increased feed efficiency. Koksal et al (2012) stated that 90 mg/kg dietary boric acid decreased the feed conversion ratio of laying hens in comparison to control in the 5-6 th weeks of the trial.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of dietary boric acid with vitamin D 3 on laying performance, eggshell quality, and mineral content and fatty acid composition of egg yolk in hens. In the experiment, 160 late-phase laying hens were equally divided into four groups, 40 birds each (10 replicates of 4 hens each). The study included a control group and three treatment groups. In the control group, there was no additive, while the experimental groups contained: 1) vitamin D 3 3000 IU/kg + 120 ppm boric acid, HDB; 2) vitamin D 3 300 IU/kg + 120 ppm boric acid, LDB; and 3) 120 ppm boric acid, B; respectively. After 12 weeks of feeding, the egg mass was significantly reduced in HDB group in comparison to the control and feed efficiency was increased in HDB group in comparison to the control and B groups (P < 0.05). No significant differences were observed in eggshell quality among groups (P > 0.05). Egg yolk cholesterol content was decreased in LDB group in comparison to B group (P < 0.05). The concentration of C18:3 fatty acid was the highest (P < 0.05) in B group. In comparison to the control group, the C16:0 fatty acid concentration was lower in B group (P < 0.05). So, the combination of boric acid (120 ppm) and a high dose of vitamin D 3 (3000 IU/kg) is not recommended in laying hen feeding as it negatively influences laying performance parameters. On the other hand, although the supplementation of 120 ppm boric acid without additional vitamin D 3 increases egg yolk omega-3 fatty acid content, the cholesterol-reducing effect (but without fatty acid profile change) may be obtained only when boric acid is added simultaneously with a low level of vitamin D 3 (300 IU/kg), which can be used to produce functional food.

“…While, Shape index, yolk color score, albumen % and yolk % were not affected by supplemented boron. Similar results were confirmed by Sizmaz et al (2014). Mineral contents of the eggshell Data of Figure 1 illustrate that there was a significant effect (p<0.01) of adding boron to layer diets at different levels on calcium, phosphorus and boron contents of the eggshell.…”

“…Results are in agreement with those reported by Mizrak et al (2010) who found that, supplementation of 25-200 mg boron/kg to hens during a period of 4-64 weeks of age did not affect the productive performance of the layers. Similarly, Sizmaz et al (2014) showed no significant effect in the egg production, feed intake and feed efficiency of laying hens fed diet added with 60 and 180 mg boric acid/kg. Olgun and Bahtiyarea (2015) indicated that, egg production, egg mass, feed intake and feed conversion ratio were not affected by dietary boron at 60 and 120 mg boron/kg in the laying hens.…”

A total of one hundred hens and twenty cocks of Bandarah strain at 28 weeks of age were housed individually in single cages and distributed randomly among four treatment groups (25 hens and 5 cocks/ group) and the experiment ended at 44 wks of age. Birds in group1 were fed a basal diet and served as control group, the other three groups 2, 3 and 4 were fed a basal diet supplemented with 100, 200 and 300 mg boron/kg feed, respectively. Results indicated that supplemental boron to hens' diet had no significant effect on egg production, egg weight, egg mass, feed consumption and feed conversion compared with control group. Significant increases were observed for egg shell%, shell thickness and Haugh units with increasing the boron level. While shape index, albumen and yolk percentages were not affected by treatments. Supplemental boron significantly increased egg shell calcium, phosphorus and boron concentrations. Moreover, plasma minerals (Ca, P, Fe, Cu and B) were significantly increased with the increase of boron level. Hematological parameters (Hb, PCV, RBCs and WBCs) were improved by addition boron to layer diets. There was a significant increase in plasma total protein, globulin, glucose and serum T3 resulted from dietary boron. Lipid profile and liver function significantly improved for boron treatments. Additionally, semen quality, fertility and hatchability percentages significantly improved with boron at different levels compared with control value. It can be concluded that boron supplementation to layer diets had a positive effect on plasma minerals (Ca, P, Fe, Cu and B) and egg shell (Ca, P and B). However, egg quality, reproductive and physiological status were improved. It is suggested that up to 300 mg boron/kg diet could be used in layer diets without any adverse effect on laying hens performance.
