Abstract

An experiment was conducted to determine of the effects of vitamin E and C supplementation in diet based on different source of oils on performance and serum parameters of broilers. A total of 320 broiler chicks (Strain Ross 308) used in a 2×2×2 factorial arrangement in the form of completely randomized design with eight treatments, four replicates and 10 chicks in each replicate. Experimental factors included: two different oil sources (soybean and canola), two levels of vitamin E (zero and 200 mg/kg), and two levels of vitamin C (0 and 1000 mg/kg). Oil sources and vitamin E and C had no effect on performance of broilers. Supplementation of vitamin E or C increased serum total cholesterol and HDL (P<0.05). Source of oil had no significant effect on glucose and total serum cholesterol. Broilers fed diet containing canola oil had higher HDL and lower serum malondialdehyde than those fed diets with soybean oil (P<0.01). Supplementation of vitamin C to the diets containing canola oil decreased serum triglyceride compared with diets include soybean oil and vitamin C (P<0.05). Supplementation of vitamin E decreased serum malondialdehyde and increased activity of glutathione peroxidase (P<0.05). Results of this study indicate that dietary supplementation of canola oil, vitamin C or E to broiler diet increased serum HDL and vitamin E decreased oxidation of serum lipids by improving antioxidant system.
