| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study was conducted to produce a feeding program which induced maximum performance using minimum nutrients administration in broilers.
As a result, mRNA expressions involved in immune response in medium and later position of intestine, and blood antibody titer were higher in chicks administered amino acids by in ovo and subcutaneous injection than those of intact chicks. It indicated that healthy breeding of broilers were possible by amino acids administration on early stage. And because those treatments induced higher mRNA expression of IGF-1 receptor in pectoral muscle still on broilers 28 days of age, the nutritional imprinting might be induced by them. In addition, chicks, received above treatments, showed higher growth when they fed all diets containing several levels of protein. It is meaning that those technology can save the feedstuffs containing high levels of protein.
