• Effect of vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids early posthatch supplementation on reducing the severity of wooden breast myopathy in broilers

  Poultry Science · 2020 · 32 citations

  The wooden breast (WB) myopathy is identified by the palpation of a rigid pectoralis major (P. major) muscle and is characterized as a fibrotic, necrotic P. major muscle disorder in broilers resulting in reduced breast meat quality. Breast muscle affected with WB is under severe oxidative stress and inflammation. The objectives were to identify the effects of dietary vitamin E (VE) and omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids independently or in combination when fed during the starter phase (0-10 D) or grower…

• Effect of early posthatch supplementation of vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids on the severity of wooden breast, breast muscle morphological structure, and gene expression in the broiler breast muscle

  Poultry Science · 2020 · 11 citations

  Wooden breast (WB) has arisen primarily in the breast muscle of commercial broilers. It is characterized by palpation of a rigid pectoralis major (p. major) muscle and is under severe oxidative stress and inflammation. Previous studies have shown that vitamin E (VE) has antioxidant properties and omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids have an anti-inflammatory effect. The objectives of this study were to identify the effects of VE and n-3 fatty acids on the severity of WB, morphological structure of the p. m…

• Dietary arachidonate in milk replacer triggers dual benefits of PGE2 signaling in LPS-challenged piglet alveolar macrophages

  Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology/Journal of animal science and biotechnology · 2019-02-15 · 11 citations

  articleOpen access

  Respiratory infections challenge the swine industry, despite common medicinal practices. The dual signaling nature of PGE2 (supporting both inflammation and resolution) makes it a potent regulator of immune cell function. Therefore, the use of dietary long chain n-6 PUFA to enhance PGE2 effects merits investigation. Day-old pigs (n = 60) were allotted to one of three dietary groups for 21 d (n = 20/diet), and received either a control diet (CON, arachidonate = 0.5% of total fatty acids), an arac…

• Effect of vitamin E and alpha lipoic acid on intestinal development associated with wooden breast myopathy in broilers

  Poultry Science · 2020-12-23 · 10 citations

  articleOpen access

  Intestinal development is closely associated with inflammatory wooden breast (WB) myopathy. Vitamin E (VE) and alpha lipoic acid (ALA) with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects were used independently and in combination to evaluate their effects on intestinal developmental changes in ileal morphology and expression of genes related with gut nutrient transport, structure, and inflammation in broilers during the first 3 wk posthatch. A total of 160 newly hatched Ross 708 broiler chicks were r…
