Abstract

This study evaluated the effects of sorghum in corn substitution and tanic acid added to corn-soybean based diets on plasma cholesterol levels and triglyceride levels in lipoprotein fractions and total plasma in broilers. Lipoproteins of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), low density (LDL) and high density (HDL) of the plasma were separated by ultracentrifugation using density gradient at 25.000 rpm for 20 hours and 8ºC. Lipoproteins were collected and cholesterol and triglycerides were determined in each fraction. Not observed significant differences between treatments. Therefore, the substitution of corn by sorghum and the addition of tanic acid to corn-soybean based diets given to broilers did not change significantly cholesterol and triglyceride levels in lipoprotein fractions and in total plasma.
