SUCCINIC AND MALONIC ACID EFFECT ON THE SUCCINATE DEHYDROGENASE ACTIVITY AND MIDDLE MOLECULEAVAILABILITYIN BROILER CHICKENS AFTER DARK STRESS
On the example of dark stress caused bylight deprivation for 27 hoursfor 14-daysbroiler chicken, it was shown that succinic acid addition in the feed intensifies succinate dehydrogenase (SDH)hyperactivation of brain, kidneys, and liver and it is characterized by middle molecule (MM) high level.Malonic acid feeding in the stress conditions leads to normalization of SDH activity and MMlevel. The received results are discussed in the relation to the expediency of universal succinate application for poultry feeding.
