“…Thus, there may be two mechanisms involved: 1) a slower ROP and 2) a further development of absorptive mechanisms. Additional evidence for the latter to be a determining factor is existence of a fatty acid binding protein in the intestine of chickens (Katongole and March, 1979) whose activity increases with age in young chicks (Katongole and March, 1980). Also, Katongole and March (1980) found that NaT increased the activity of fatty acid binding protein, an additional factor to add support to the favorable influence of bile acids on absorption of lipid.…”

Heavy breed chicks fed isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets containing 7.6% tallow or one of four different hydrogenated animal and vegetable fats (HAVFs) at 6.2% retained 25% less lipid when 1 week of age than when 2 or 3 weeks of age. The addition of .04% sodium taurocholate (NaT) improved lipid retention most at 1 week of age but had no effect on retention of nitrogen. The apparent metabolizable energy (ME a ) was 10% less for the chick 1 week of age, reflecting lower lipid and nitrogen retentions by the very young chicken. Percentages of carcass lipid and protein were lowest at 1 week of age (10.4%) and increased by the 3rd week (17%). The addition of NaT did not cause any significant changes in carcass composition. The data indicated that absorptive mechanisms for lipid and protein are not fully developed in the very young chick and that dietary bile salts tend to improve lipid but not nitrogen absorption. (

“…Thus, there has to be something in bile that enables fatty acids from corn to be better utilized than those from tallow. Katongle and March (1979) demonstrated the existence of a fatty acid binding protein (FABP) in chickens. They also noted that bile acids stimulated FABP formation which increased in concentration as induced by something in bile that accounts for the improved utilization of unsaturated fatty acids from corn oil as compared to the more saturated types dominating the composition of tallow.…”

The effect of bile acids on lipid research was examined in meat-type chicks, 8 weeks of age, with cannulated cystic and hepatic ducts. The procedure allowed for biliary collection in free-roving birds. Shams retained 90 to 92% dietary fat and those with cannulated ducts retained 43 to 72%. Addition of .04, .08, or .16% cholic acid or .08% freeze-dried chicken bile did not improve lipid retention significantly. The percentage retained for tallow and corn oil was 57 and 64%, respectively, far less then the 75 and 90% values, respectively, obtained in normal chickens. Neither practical-type nor purified-type diets, saturated (tallow) nor unsaturated (corn oil) fats at 8% of the diet significantly influenced lipid retention in chickens with cannulated ducts. In these chickens, percent dry matter retained of the purified diet was 81%, a significantly higher value than the 62% retained of the practical-type diet.

Fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs) are members of a superfamily of lipid-binding proteins and occur intracellularly in vertebrates and invertebrates. This study was designed to clone and characterize the adipocyte fatty acid binding protein (A-FABP) gene in the chicken. PCR primers were designed according to mammalian A-FABP gene sequence to amplify partial cDNA of A-FABP gene from chicken adipose tissues, and the full length of the gene was cloned by 5'RACE and 3'RACE. Analysis of sequence showed that the cDNA of the chicken A-FABP gene was 74 and 73% homologous with porcine and human A-FABP gene, respectively. The similarity was 77, 28, and 23% at the predicted amino acid level with human A-FABP, human L-FABP, and human I-FABP, respectively. RT-PCR and Northern blot analysis indicated that the chicken A-FABP gene, similar to that of the mammal, is only expressed in fat tissues. This is the first report to identify and characterize A-FABP gene in the chicken.
