Abstract
ABSTRACT This study was conducted to investigate the effects of solid-state fermented wheat bran on immune performance and inflammatory response in laying hens. A total of 225 18-week-old Hy-Line brown-egg laying hens were randomly divided into 3 groups with 5 replicates per group and 15 hens per replicate. Laying hens were fed a basal diet (corn-soybean meal diet) supplemented with 0 (control group), 10% wheat bran and 10% fermented wheat bran, respectively. The results showed: (1) Compared to wheat bran group, the contents of crude protein, trichloroacetic acid-soluble protein, dietary fibre (DF), mannan and total polyphenols in wheat bran were increased by solid state fermentation. (2) Compared to the control group, fermented wheat bran increased the levels of serum biochemical parameters, reproductive hormones, immunoglobulins and anti-inflammatory factors. Therefore, long-term dietary supplementation of 10% fermented wheat bran plays an important role in improving the immune performance of laying hens.
期刊介绍:
Food and Agricultural Immunology is an international open access journal publishing original immunological research with applications in food, agricultural, environmental and veterinary science. Submissions describing the use of immunological techniques and methods are particularly welcomed.
The journal aims to expand our understanding of the interactions at the interface of food and immune systems including studies on:
-Development of diagnostic systems – all types of ligand-based assays, e.g. antibody, aptamer
-Application of ligand-based assays for the detection or identification of molecules of interest in food science, agricultural research, veterinary investigations and clinical systems relating to food allergy or sensitivity to agricultural chemicals
-Effects of food on the immune system
-Studies on allergy and allergic reactions
-Investigations into food allergies
-Development of allergen-free food systems
-Development of novel assay formats
-Applications of assay systems to the monitoring of food items in relation to safety and labelling
-Food quality issues, e.g. speciation, adulteration and contamination
-Comparisons between different analytical techniques
The journal publishes research and review articles and is essential reading for food scientists, immunologists and all those concerned with the interaction between food and immune systems.
