Metabolite Profiling Under Dietary Myo-Inositol Supplementation in Laying Hens from Two High-Performing Strains.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation of myo-inositol (MI) on the blood metabolite profile in two high-performing laying hen strains. Diets were corn-soybean meal-based and not supplemented or supplemented with 1, 2, or 3 g MI/kg feed. Ten hens per strain (Lohmann Brown-classic (LB) and Lohmann LSL-classic (LSL)) and diet were euthanized at the age of 30 weeks following a 4-week feeding period in metabolic units. Plasma and liver samples were taken from each individual hen. The Absolute-IDQ^TM p180 kit (Biocrates, Innsbruck, Austria) was used for metabolite profiling in plasma, plasma insulin, and liver triglyceride content were determined by a chicken-specific ELISA and a spectrometric assay, respectively.
