Abstract
Aim:
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of
selenomethionine and omega-3 fatty acid on serum mineral profile
and nutrient utilization of broiler chicken.
Materials and Methods: The present study was a 2×3 factorial
arrangement of two levels of selenomethionine (0 and 0.3 ppm) and
three levels of omega-3 fatty acid (0, 0.5 and 1%). Day-old
Vencobb broiler chicks (n=180), were randomly assigned in six
treatment groups. The experiment lasted for 42 days. Treatment
groups followed of: Group I was a control. Group II, III, IV, V
and VI were supplemented with 0 ppm selenomethionine with 0.5%
omega-3 fatty acid, 0 ppm selenomethionine with 1% omega-3 fatty
acid, 0.3 ppm selenomethionine with 0% omega-3 fatty acid, 0.3 ppm
selenomethionine with 0.5% omega-3 fatty acid and 0.3 ppm
selenomethionine with 1% omega-3 fatty acid, respectively. Linseed
oil was used as a source of omega-3 fatty acid while sel-plex is
used for selenomethionine supplementation.
Results: Significant (p<0.05) interaction
exist between selenomethionine and omega-3 fatty acid for serum
zinc and iron concentration whereas, it was non-significant for
serum calcium and copper. Significantly (p<0.05) increased
concentration of selenium, zinc, iron and phosphorus was observed
in birds fed 0.3 ppm selenomethionine whereas, significantly
(p<0.05) increased zinc and iron was observed in birds fed 0.5%
omega-3 fatty acid. There was significant (p<0.05) interaction
exist between selenomethionine and omega-3 fatty acid for calcium
and phosphorus retention percentage. The maximum retention of
calcium and phosphorus was recorded in birds supplemented with 0.3
ppm selenomethionine in combination with 0.5% omega-3 fatty acid.
There was marked interaction between selenomethionine and omega-3
fatty acid for hemoglobin (Hb), total erythrocytic count, total
leukocytic count and platelets (p<0.05) however, it was
non-significant for mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular Hb,
MCH concentration and differential leukocyte count. Dietary
selenomethionine significantly (p<0.05) increased the platelet
count. Hb concentration was significantly (p<0.05) higher in birds
fed 0.5% omega-3 fatty acid whereas, 1% omega-3 fatty acid in the
diet drastically increased (p<0.05) the platelet count.
Conclusion: Supplementation of
selenomethionine and omega-3 fatty acid improves the nutrient
utilization and mineral retention, which subsequently enhance the
bone mineralization. Supplementation also helps in combating the
stress.
Keywords: broiler chicken, nutrient
utilization, omega-3 fatty acid, selenomethionine, serum mineral
