Production of chickens with marginal vitamin A deficiency.
Marginally vitamin A-deficient 1-d-old chickens capable of remaining healthy for at least 6 weeks were produced using a two-generation model. In this model, hens fed on diets with a limited vitamin A content were used to obtain 1-d-old chickens which were marginally deficient in vitamin A. Only hens with a narrow range of plasma retinol values (0.60-0.85 mumol/l) were satisfactory for this purp...
متن کاملVitamin A deficiency in chickens.
The importance of vitamin A for the normal development and maintenance of skeletal, nervous and epithelial tissues has long been recognized, and the general signs of deficiency of this vitamin in chickens have been described by Seifried (1930) and by Beach (1923). One of the most important changes caused by vitamin A deficiency, often leading to serious infection, is the replacement of many sec...
متن کاملMarginal Vitamin Deficiency: The "Gray Area" of Nutrition
• Is there a state of optimal nutrition beyond what is commonly accepted as adequate nutrition? • Does marginal vitamin deficiency have any clinical significance? • Can nutritional status affect behavior and personality? • Can vague symptoms such as irritability, insomnia, and lethargy be caused by vitamin depletion? • Are marginal deficiencies a widespread problem? At what point does such a pr...
متن کاملEffect of vitamin A deficiency on host intestinal immune response to Eimeria acervulina in broiler chickens.
The effects of vitamin A (VitA) deficiency on the host intestinal immune response and disease susceptibility to coccidiosis were investigated in broiler chickens following oral infection with Eimeria acervulina (EA). Day-old male broilers were fed milo-soybean meal diets either with 8,000 IU VitA/kg feed (CONT) or without added VitA (A-DEF). At 25 d, a group of randomly selected birds from each...
متن کاملNAD(P)H: Quinone Oxidoreductase 1 Deficiency Conjoint with Marginal Vitamin C Deficiency Causes Cigarette Smoke Induced Myelodysplastic Syndromes
BACKGROUND The etiology of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) is largely unknown. Exposure to cigarette smoke (CS) is reported to be associated with MDS risk. There is inconsistent evidence that deficiency of NAD(P)H-quinone: oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) increases the risk of MDS. Earlier we had shown that CS induces toxicity only in marginal vitamin C-deficient guinea pigs but not in vitamin C-suffici...
