Abstract

The results of the survey with 280-day-old and older cross Hisex-White chickens that underwent complex surgery and were implanted with pancreatic duct fistulas (four heads) allowed for the ascertaining of insufficient pancreatic enzyme activities at egg laying. Within the experiments, the pancreatic enzyme activities were measured at a 30-min interval, observing the oviposition before feeding and 30 min and 150 min after feed uptake. The activity of amylaze decreased by 52.2, 55.6, and 46.0%, respectively, while protease activity decreased by 33.3, 51.1, and 47.5%, respectively, and lipase activity decrease comprised 73.0, 61.7, and 47.5%, respectively, when compared to that in the reference period. The oviposition process is apparently predominant for egg-laying hens, which can suppress releasing the pancreatic enzymes in the preprandial and postprandial periods at the level of the diencephalon (hypothalamus), where the centers for regulating the pancreatic secretion and the reproductive function are located. Temporary decreases in the enzyme activities at the time of laying an egg are compensated by increase in their activities during the subsequent days without oviposition. Thus, activities of amylase, protease, and lipase increased by 28.0% (p < 0.05), 4.36-fold (p < 0.05), and by 34.2% (p < 0.05), respectively, when compared to that in the reference period. This ensures a high metabolic rate in the laying hens.
