Coated cysteamine and choline chloride could be potential feed additives to mitigate the harmful effects of fatty liver hemorrhagic syndrome in laying hens caused by high-energy low-protein diet.

ABSTRACT: The research aimed to examine the impact of coated cysteamine (CS) and choline chloride (CC) on relieving the pathological effects of fatty liver hemorrhagic syndrome (FLHS) in laying hens. FLHS was induced by a high-energy low-protein (HELP) diet. Ninety laying hens were equally divided into 5 treatments with 6 replicates per treatment (3 hens/replicate). The control treatment (Cont) was fed a basal diet, while the remaining treatments were fed a HELP diet. Under the HELP dietary plan, 4 treatments were set by a 2 × 2 factorial design. Two levels of CS (CS-: 0.00 mg/kg CS; CS+: 100 mg/kg diet) and 2 levels of choline (CC-: 1,182 mg/kg; CC+: 4,124 mg/kg) were set and named CS-CC- (HELP), CS+CC-, CS-CC+ and CS+CC+. The liver of the CS-CC- (HELP) group became yellowish-brown and greasy, with
