摘要: This study was aimed at studying use of reduced dietary crude protein (CP) level supplemented with additional amino acids in laying ducks. A total of 720 Jingjiang ducks (50 wk) were randomly assigned to 5 treatments and fed 5 basal diets with CP levels at 17.5, 16.5, 15.5, 14.5, or 13.5%, with additional amino acids added to each diet for 12 wk. Each treatment had 6 replicates of 24 ducks each. Dietary CP levels affected (P < 0.05) egg production and mass of laying ducks, and there was a linear and quadratic decrease with decreasing CP levels (P < 0.05). Dietary CP levels did not affect egg weight and feed conversion ratio (FCR), but egg weight decreased linearly (P < 0.05); FCR increased linearly and quadratically (P < 0.05) with decreasing CP levels. There were no significant differences in egg quality among the different CP levels (P > 0.05). Ovarian weight, total and mean weight of preovulatory follicles, and total weight of small yellow follicles (SYF) were decreased by dietary CP levels (linear, P < 0.01 and quadratic, P < 0.05). The oviductal weight decreased linearly (P < 0.05), and the number of SYF decreased linearly and quadratically with decreasing CP levels (P < 0.05). The serum estradiol content decreased linearly with dietary CP levels (P < 0.05). The serum contents of luteinizing hormone, prolactin, and progesterone decreased (P < 0.05), linearly and quadratically (both P < 0.01) with decreasing CP levels. The serum contents of creatinine (CRE), triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity were affected (P < 0.05) by different dietary CP levels. The total protein content increased linearly (P < 0.05), TC content increased quadratically (P < 0.05), and contents of albumin, CRE, TG, and phosphorus, and activities of aspartate aminotransferase and ALT increased linearly and quadratically (both P < 0.05) with decreasing CP levels. Overall, reduced dietary CP levels with addition of amino acids affected the laying performance, the development of reproductive organs and ovarian follicles, serum hormones, and biochemical indices of laying ducks. Dietary CP levels can be reduced to 14.5% with additional amino acid supplementation for 12 wk in laying ducks without negative effect on laying performance and egg quality.
