Effects of Supplemental Exogenous Emulsifier on Performance, Nutrient Metabolism, and Serum Lipid Profile in Broiler Chickens

The effects of an exogenous emulsifier, glyceryl polyethylene glycol ricinoleate, on performance and carcass traits of broiler chickens were assessed. The emulsifier was added to the diet at dose rates of 0 (control), 1 (E1) and 2 (E2) % of added fat (saturated palm oil). Live weight gain (𝑃<.07)...

description The effects of an exogenous emulsifier, glyceryl polyethylene glycol ricinoleate, on performance and carcass traits of broiler chickens were assessed. The emulsifier was added to the diet at dose rates of 0 (control), 1 (E1) and 2 (E2) % of added fat (saturated palm oil). Live weight gain (𝑃<.07) and feed conversion ratio (𝑃<.05) in 39 days were higher in the E1 dietary group. Gain: ME intake and gain: protein intake during the grower phase improved quadratically (𝑃<.05). Gross carcass traits were not affected. Body fat content and fat accretion increased (𝑃<.05) and liver fat content decreased (𝑃<.05) linearly with the level of emulsifier in diet. Fat excretion decreased (𝑃<.001) leading to increased ileal fat digestibility (𝑃<.06) in the E1 group (quadratic response). Metabolizable intake of N (𝑃<.1) and fat (𝑃<.05) increased quadratically due to supplementation of emulsifier in diet. Metabolism of trace elements and serum lipid profiles were not affected. The study revealed that supplementation of exogenous emulsifiers in diets containing moderate quantities of added vegetable fats may substantially improve broiler performance.
