Abstract
  • Seven experiments were carried out to investigate the involvement of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism on the incidence of Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) in broiler chickens. Hepatic arachidonate level decreased after 1 h postmortem. The decreased level of hepatic arachidonate previously observed in SDS birds was, therefore, associated with the post-mortem aging. Broiler chickens fed diets high in glucose monohydrate (cerelose) were more susceptible to SDS mortality than broilers fed diets high in corn starch or corn-soy. Feeding broilers a high cerelose diet increased the levels of plasma calcium, total protein, triacylglycerol, and uric acid compared to broilers fed corn starch diet. Broilers fed cerelose diet also showed the higher incidence of leg abnormality than broilers fed corn starch or corn-soy diets. Daily intraperitoneal injection with 0.25 ml of L(+) lactic acid solution (100 mg lactic acid/ml) to broilers over a 7-d period failed to reproduce the SDS incidence, whereas intravenous injection of 40% lactic acid solution (200 mg lactic acid/kg body weight) resulted in 100% incidence of SDS-type mortality. No SDS-type mortality was observed with the intravenous injection of 40% sodium lactate solution (200 mg sodium lactate/kg body weight). Disturbance of physiological acid-base balance might be a factor in the SDS-type mortality. Suboptimal thiamin level in broilers fed cerelose diets was observed. Thiamin supplementation to cerelose diet improved the thiamin status of the broilers. Mortality due to SDS was decreased when thiamin hydrochloride was supplemented to cerelose diet at the level of 0.6 and 2.8 mg thiamin hydrochloride/kg diet, respectively. Thiamin supplementation, however, did not change the liver pyruvate dehydrogenase activity and the proportion of pyruvate dehydrogenase in the active form. Disturbance of acid-base balance was postulated to be associated with the incidence of SDS. Other genetic, nutritional, and environmental factors are likely to modify the incidence by affecting the acid-base status of the chicken.
