Compromised Antioxidant Status Associated with Ascites in Broilers

Ascites Incidence in Broilers

Gejala umum terjadinya sindrom ascites pada ayam broiler adalah berupa akumulasi cairan yang berlebihan di rongga peritoneal yang menyebabkan peningkatan tekanan pembuluh arteri pulmoner. Kondisi ini dapat menyebabkan kematian akibat kurangnya suplai oksigen untuk kebutuhan metabolis tubuh. Angka kematian akibat Ascites pada ayam broiler adalah sebesar 5%. Sindrom ascites dapat dicegah dengan m...

Effects of Enalapril on growth Performance, Ascites Mortality, Antioxidant Status and Blood Parameters in Broiler Chickens under Cold-Induced Ascites

Six hundred 1-d-old male broilers (Ross 308) were assigned to four experimental groups; each was composed of 5 floor pen replications of 30 birds including control (no enalapril), 15, 30 and 60 ppm enalapril in the drinking water. From d 21 to 49, all the chicks were exposed to low ambient temperature to induce ascites. Mortalities were inspected to determine the cause of death and diagnose of ...

Effects of Glutamine Supplementation on Growth Performance and Antioxidant Status in Broilers with Pulmonary Hypertension Syndrome (PHS)

The present study examined the antioxidant defense of glutamine on plasma and liver antioxidant status in broilers under PHS with respect to changes in the levels of lipid peroxidation marker malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant status (TAS) and the activities of anti peroxidative enzymes [superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione dependent antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase (GPX)]...
