20.500.12556/RUL-138375 Effects of dietary vitamin E, vitamin C, selenium and their combination on carcass characteristics, oxidative stability and breast meat quality of broiler chickens exposed to cyclic heat stress The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with vitamin E, vitamin C, and Se, alone or in combination, on carcass characteristics, oxidative stability and meat quality parameters of breast meat from broilers exposed to cyclic heat stress (HS), and stored under different conditions. A total of 120 one-day-old male Ross 308 broilers were randomly assigned to six dietary treatments: NRC (minimal nutrition requirements), AVI (commercial nutritional recommendations for Ross 308 broilers), AVI + vitE (as AVI + 200 IU vitamin E/kg feed), AVI + vitC (as AVI + 250 mg vitamin C/kg feed), AVI + Se (as AVI + 0.2 mg Se/kg feed), and AVI + ECSe (as AVI + vitE + vitC + Se). From day 26 onwards, all birds were exposed to a high ambient temperature (31 °C) for 8 h per day. The results showed that dietary vitamin E alone or in combination with vitamin C and Se significantly increased the α-tocopherol content and decreased the malondialdehyde (MDA) content in breast meat. Although no obvious synergistic effects of the added antioxidants were observed, the addition of higher levels of vitamin E, vitamin C and Se to broiler diets had no adverse effects on carcass traits, oxidative stability and meat quality parameters when supplemented either alone or in combination. vitamin E vitamin C selenium broiler cyclic heat stress meat quality meat oxidative stability perutnina pitovni piščanci prehrana živali vitamini vitamin E vitamin C selen vročinski stres kakovost mesa true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2022-07-18 14:13:28 2022-07-18 14:13:29 2023-05-16 03:32:21 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 14. str. iss. 14, art. 1789 Vol. 12 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 636.5.084/.087 2076-2615 10.3390/ani12141789 115293187 animals-12-01789-v2.pdf animals-12-01789-v2.pdf 1 ADB74564E176F572C52B046ADE2AAFDA 372fc1818b8b7b28d8388e816d97271e430f1790467d8988498b6ef2d663fbf8 91701158-0699-11ed-8aca-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=158670 https://www.mdpi.com/2076-2615/12/14/1789 1 cb0f6fde-0692-11ed-8aca-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=158667 Biotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
