Reducing crude protein and supplementing with synthetic amino acids in poultry nutrition is a recent trend to avoid protein and ammonia wastage in production systems. Stress induced by synthetic glucocorticoid DEX impairs intestinal barrier and increases inflammatory response, while arginine supplementation shows positive effects. Further research is needed to fully understand the impact of amino acid supplementation on broiler diets.
Reducing crude protein and supplementation with synthetic amino acids in poultry nutrition is a recent trend to avoid wastage of protein and ammonia in production systems. Stress has been shown to impair intestinal barrier and increase inflammatory response. This study was performed on intestinal tissues of broiler chickens to understand the mechanism of stress induced by a synthetic glucocorticoid, dexamethasone (DEX) and the effect of supplementation of arginine, glutamine and glycine in reduced protein diets. Intestinal tissue samples from a previous study were utilized. Male Ross 308 chickens received a basal diet for the first seven days and then fed with crude protein that was reduced to 194 g/kg in grower experimental diets supplemented with glutamine, glycine and additional arginine at 10, 10 and 5 g/kg respectively. Half of the 96 individual birds were injected with DEX (0.5 mg/kg body weight) or saline on days 14, 16, 18 and 20 of age. mRNA expression for jejunum and ileum for amino acid transporters (y+LAT-1, B(o,+)AT, EAAT-3 and CAT-1), mechanistic genes (SGLT-1, mTOR, IAP and FABP-2) and pro-inflammatory genes (MUC-2, NF-kappa B, iNOS, IL-8 and IL-1 beta) were analysed using real-time PCR. The results showed that DEX decreased y+ LAT1 in jejunum, B(o)(,+)AT and EAAT-3 in ileum. Arginine increased CAT-1 in the jejunum and ileum under DEX treatment. Through an interaction, DEX reduced IAP in jejunum of glycine and arginine supplemented group and reduced mTOR in jejunum independently. DEX reduced MUC-2 and iNOS in jejunum and increased iNOS and IL8 in the ileum. Amino acid supplementation did not appear to ameliorate these effects; however, there were some positive effects of glycine on NF-kappa B and arginine through increased CAT-1. Mechanistic understanding of amino acid supplementation in broiler diets warrants further research particularly when dietary protein is reduced below the level tested in the present study.
