Effects of a Combination of Lysolecithin, Synthetic Emulsifier, and Monoglycerides on Growth Performance, Intestinal Morphology, and Selected Carcass Traits in Broilers Fed Low-Energy Diets

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of supplementing a combination of lysolecithin, synthetic emulsifier, and monoglycerides (LEX) on growth performance, intestinal morphology, and selected carcass traits in broilers fed low-energy diets without added oil. Three hundred one-day-old Arbor Acres (...

Three hundred one-day-old Arbor Acres (AA) broilers (40.3 ± 3.3 g) were assigned to two dietary treatments with six replicates of 25 birds each and were fed a control low-energy diet without added oil supplemented with 0 and 250 g/t of LEX for 30 days. Growth performance was measured and recorded throughout the study. At slaughter, 60 birds per treatment were used to assess the effect of LEX on the carcass traits. Final average body weight and feed conversion ratio were improved (<i>p</i> < 0.05) in LEX treated birds compared to control. LEX supplementation was linked to higher (<i>p</i> < 0.05) carcass weight and yield and to lower (<i>p</i> < 0.05) abdominal fat and liver weight. Moisture content was higher (<i>p</i> < 0.05) in ground deboned broilers from LEX treatment. Villus height was increased (<i>p <</i> 0.05), and crypt depth reduced (<i>p <</i> 0.05) in the jejunum of birds treated with LEX. This study demonstrates that supplementation of LEX to a low-energy diet without added oil improved performance, carcass weight and yield, reduced abdominal fat deposition, and improved intestinal morphology in broiler chickens.Abdallah GhazalahMamdouh Abd-ElsameeMoataz IbrahimSherein S.
