Accumulation of amino acids and glucose in isolated epitheliocytes from the small intestine of chickens depending on both breed and sex.

In an experiment with chickens breed differences were established in accumulation of 14C-lysine, methionine and glycine, as well as intra-line differences in glycine accumulation in intestinal epitheliocytes from Plymouth Rock chickens. Differences were found in both methionine and glycine accumulation, between B line and four-line hybrids as well. Methionine accumulation in epitheliocytes from the small intestine of male chickens was higher than in female chickens from A line, higher than accumulation of tryptophane in both A and C lines and accumulation of glucose in D line. In male chickens of four-line hybrid, glycine accumulation was higher than in females.

[Morphological changes in broilers produced by feeding antibiotics].

Morphologic studies were carried out on the liver, kidneys, and small intestine of broiler birds that had been given antibiotics with the feed (virginiamycin, 20.0 ppm, flavomycin, 4.8 ppm, and avotan, 10.0 ppm) in the course of 49 days, kept with a group of controls. The liver of the test birds showed protein and fatty dystrophy, and the kidneys--protein dystrophy. The small intestine showed thinning of the wall and increase in the villi intestinales length. The manifestation of the morphologic changes depended on the amount of the antibiotic taken in. Those of the birds that were offered flavomycin had well manifested lesions, while in birds that were given virginiamycin and avotan only the lesions were more slightly expressed.

[SH group content and hydrolase activity of the small intestine mucosa in chickens fed a mixture containing aflatoxin B1].

The effect of aflatoxin B1 on the content of SH-groups and the activity of leucinamino peptidase, Mg (Na+, K+), ATP, and glucoamylase in the mucous membrane of the small intestine of birds was studied. The experiment was carried out with three groups of male broilers. The controls were given starter and finisher mixtures with 21.6 and 19.5 per cent protein, with no aflatoxin B1. The birds of the test groups (II and III) were offered one and the same mixture containing 0.250 and 0.600 ppm of aflatoxin B1. By the end of the finisher period on the 49th day mucosa homogenate was used to determine the content of SH-groups and the activity of leucinamino peptidase, Mg (Na+, K+), ATP, and glucoamylase. It was found that rates of 0.600 ppm in the feed suppressed the activity of Mg (Na+, K+) ATP in the mucosa of the small intestine. Lower amounts (0.250 ppm) produced no effect on the activity of this enzyme. Leucinamino peptidase, glucoamylase, and the SH-groups did not change essentially their activity at the two rates of the toxin.
