Influence of dietary inclusion of rice dried distillers grain with solubles on oxidative stress and histomorphology of gut in broiler chicken. Animal Nutrition and Feed Technology, 22: 503–511. An experiment was conducted to study the effect of dietary inclusion of rice dried distillers grain with solubles (RDDGS) on oxidative stress indices and gut histomorphology in broiler chicken. Day old broiler chicks (n=180) were randomly allotted to 4 groups (T1-T4) of 45 chicks in each with 3 replicates having 15 chicks per replicate by completely randomized design. To maize soy based diets RDDGS was supplemented in groups T1, T2, T3 and T4 at 0, 5, 10 and 15%, respectively. Malondialdehyde concentration, an indicator of lipid peroxidation increased significantly (P<0.05) when RDDGS was incorporated at 15% level. However, up to 10% level there was no significant effect on malondialdehyde concentration. RDDGS levels had no significant effect on reduced glutathione (GSH) concentration. Increased levels of RDDGS had better (P<0.05) effect on dressing per cent and gizzard weight. Histo-morphological study of small intestine revealed significantly higher height of villus in duodenum of group T1 and T2 as compared to T3 and T4. Degenerative changes in liver at 15% level were observed. Based on the findings, inclusion of RDDGS at 10% level in broiler diet is considered suitable.
