Abstract
The study was designed to investigate the effects of dietary Rhodopseudomonas
palustris on the laying hen. The values were recorded after about a period of 60 days. Dietary
supplementation of four day old cultures of R.palustris at 0.08% reduced cholesterol and triglycerides
concentration in serum by 15.34% and 6.19% respectively. The hen egg-yolk recorded a reduction of
about 17.18% in cholesterol concentration. Also, supplementation of R.palustris in diets increased
high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level and decreased atherogenic index in serum. Reduction in the
levels of cholesterol was also observed in liver, breast and thigh muscles. Diets fed with R.palustris
may lead to the development of chicken and eggs containing less cholesterol. Significance of the
above results with respect to the existing literature are discussed in this communication.
