Effect on ochratoxin A on Lohmann-type chicks.

Ochratoxin A was fed at 0.5 ppm to Lohmann-type chicks from 7 d of age for 4 w. Body weights and efficiency of feed utilization were depressed and the activity of serum SDH and GDH and the concentration of uric acid were significantly increased. The concentration of serum total protein and potassium and Hb, PCV, RBC and WBC were significantly decreased in the test group. Lesions were seen in vital organs, with hemorrhage in the thigh. A slow recovery in the kidney was observed 3 w after removal from the experimental diet.

Effects of various levels of dietary vitamin E on broiler chicks.

Graded dosages of vitamin E (37.5, 50 or 100 ppm) fed Lohmann-type broiler chicks resulted in decreased growth rates, enlarged livers and kidneys, hemorrhages on the medial surface of the thigh, and congestion in the heart and intestines. Serum SDH and GDH activities and uric acid concentrations were significantly increased and serum total protein concentration was decreased in all dosed groups. Leucocytosis and anemia occurred in excess vitamin E-fed broiler chicks.
