Application of Vitamin C in Poultry breeding

VC, vitamin drugs. Vitamin C forms a reversible redox system with dehydrovitamin C in vivo, which plays an important role in biological redox reactions and cellular respiration. Vitamin C is involved in amino acid metabolism and synthesis of neurotransmitters, collagen and interstitial tissue. It can reduce capillary permeability, promote iron absorption in intestinal tract, enhance the body's resistance to infection, and enhance liver detoxification ability.

Vitamin C is easily absorbed in the small intestine after oral administration and widely distributed in the whole body tissues. The plasma protein binding rate is about 25%. It is metabolized in the liver. Vitamin C is mainly excreted from urine in its original form. When excessive, it is metabolized into oxalic acid (oxalic acid).

Adaptability: For vitamin C deficiency, fever, chronic wasting diseases, etc.

Usage and Dosage: Based on this product. Drinking water: every 100 grams mixed with water 1000 jin, free to drink, mixing: every 100 grams mixed with 500 jin, for 5 days.

Vitamin C participates in various metabolism in the body, participates in folic acid metabolism, participates in detoxification function, etc. According to the pharmacological function of vitamin C, vitamin C is used as a feed additive for chickens. After many years of experiments, it can really play a role in strengthening disease prevention and improving production performance. It is introduced as follows:

1. Vitamins can improve the immunity of chickens

During the stress period, the immune function of chickens decreases. Vitamin C supplementation will improve the influence of stress factors on chicken immunity. Vitamin C as an oxidant will cause damage to cell membranes through free radicals, thus protecting lymphocytes (producing antibodies). In addition, VC supplementation will inhibit excessive secretion of adrenal steroids and reduce immune response. When immunizing chickens, vitamin C can be added to feed or drinking water 2-3 days before vaccination in order to produce the best specific immune response and minimize the adverse effects of non-specific immunosuppression. When infectious diseases have occurred in chickens, vitamin C can improve the resistance of chickens to infectious diseases.

2. Vitamin C can alleviate the stress response of chickens

Adding VC 24 hours before stress could reduce the different effects of high temperature, high humidity, immunization, disease, molting, catching, noise and moving.

3. Vitamin C can improve egg shell quality

Lack of vitamin C in the feed, laying hens will lay soft shell eggs and damaged eggs. Adding vitamin C to feed can greatly improve the quality of egg shells.

Vitamin C can improve the reproductive performance of chickens.

Adding vitamin C 150 g per ton of feed can reduce embryo mortality, improve hatching rate and chick survival rate, and maintain the highest reproduction rate of breeding chickens.

5. Vitamin C also has detoxification function

Vitamin C supplementation can improve the activity of various enzymes in the liver and enhance the metabolism of various harmful substances in the liver, such as lead, arsenic, benzene and some viruses and bacterial toxins.

6. Prevention of chicken pecking

Adding proper amount of vitamin C to feed can greatly reduce chicken pecking and accelerate wound healing.

7. Improve insect repellent effect

In the prevention and control of chicken intestinal parasites, vitamin C can enhance the anthelmintic effect of drugs and the tolerance of chickens to anti-parasitic drugs, and promote faster recovery of chicken constitution.

8. Auxiliary prevention and treatment of diseases

Chicken suffering from cold and other diseases, in the treatment of drugs plus vitamin C, can enhance the efficacy of drugs, assist chickens to overcome diseases, so that the disease early recovery.

Vitamin C contributes to bone formation

Because broilers grow too fast, but the development of bones is slow, often resulting in soft legs of broilers, incomplete development, especially chicks are more obvious, adding VC in feed species can improve the ability of duodenal calcium binding protein and contribute to bone development.
