An investigation of the assumed efficacy of methionine hydroxy analogue compared to DL-methionine by measuring growth performance, carcass traits, and GHR and IGF-I expression in broilers

This experiment was conducted to investigate the assumed efficacy of 65% on the product basis of methionine hydroxy analog (OH-Met, 88% aqueous solution of DL-2-hydroxy-4-(methylthio) butanoic acid) relative to DL-methionine (DL-Met) in broiler chickens. A total of 792-day-old male chickens were ran...

description This experiment was conducted to investigate the assumed efficacy of 65% on the product basis of methionine hydroxy analog (OH-Met, 88% aqueous solution of DL-2-hydroxy-4-(methylthio) butanoic acid) relative to DL-methionine (DL-Met) in broiler chickens. A total of 792-day-old male chickens were randomly allotted to 7 dietary treatments consisting of a methionine deficient-basal diet based on corn-soybean meal and 6 different diets obtained by supplying the basal diet with methionine at 3 levels (25, 100 and 125%; levels of addition relative to the required amount of additional Met to meet SID Met + Cys requirements) from either DL-Met or OH-Met at a ratio of 65:100 (DL-Met to OH-Met on a product basis) in the corresponding treatments. Regardless of the source, methionine supplementation enhanced (p < .05) growth performance, carcase and breast meat yield. Supplemental level and the source of Met had no significant effect on the proximate chemical composition of breast meat (p > .05). Comparison of effects of OH-Met and DL-Met supplemented at 100–65% weight ratio revealed no differences at any Met + Cys level and for performance criterion confirming the applied concept. Expression of growth hormone receptor (GHR) mRNA, which showed a positive correlation with body weight gain, carcase yield and breast percentage, in broiler liver significantly increased with 100% and 125% relative addition of DL-Met, while only 100% of OH-Met addition did (p < .05) when compared to the basal diet. The expression of the insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) gene was not significantly affected by either Met source or supplementation level. In conclusion, our data indicated that DL-Met can be substituted with a 1.54 times higher amount of OH-Met in corn-soybean meal based broiler diets.
