Article Synopsis
- The study explores how different energy levels in low-protein diets affect liver lipid metabolism in late-phase laying hens to optimize their nutrition and feeding strategies.
- Hens on increased energy low-protein diets showed worse egg quality and higher triglycerides and cholesterol, but lower hepatic lipase levels compared to the positive control group.
- Gene expression analysis revealed that fatty acid synthesis was promoted while fatty acid oxidation was inhibited in hens on the lowest energy diet, affecting their microbiome and riboflavin metabolism.
Lipid metabolic capacity, feed utilization, and the diversity of gut microbiota are reduced in the late laying stage for laying hens. This experiment aimed to investigate the effects of different levels of dietary metabolizable energy (ME) on hepatic lipid metabolism and cecal microbiota in late laying hens. The 216 Peking Pink laying hens (57-wk-old) were randomly assigned to experimental diets of 11.

Supplementation with MF as a dietary fiber for poultry may serve as a useful application. However, little is known about the effects of MF on liver lipid metabolism and egg yolk fatty acid composition of laying hens and their underlying mechanisms.
