Mothers can shape the developmental trajectory of their offspring through the transmission of resources such as hormones, antioxidants or immunoglobulins. Over the last two decades, an abundant literature on maternal effects in birds has shown that several of these compounds (i.e. androgens, glucocorticoids and antioxidants) often influence the same offspring phenotypic traits (i.e. growth, immunity or oxidative stress levels), making interaction effects between egg components a likely scenario. However, the potential interactive effects of maternally transmitted compounds on offspring development and potential co-adjustment of these compounds within an egg are still poorly understood. Here, we report the results of an interspecific comparative analysis on birds' egg yolk composition (i.e. androgens and antioxidants) where we found that yolk carotenoid and vitamin E concentrations are positively associated, supporting the hypothesis that these two antioxidants act in synergy. The concentrations of vitamin E also increased with increasing concentrations of testosterone. This last result confirms the emerging idea that androgens and antioxidants are co-adjusted within eggs and that maternally transmitted antioxidants might limit the potential direct and indirect effects of prenatal exposure to high testosterone levels on oxidative stress.

While vitamins naturally occurring in plant and animal based feed ingredients can supply a reasonable proportion of the birds daily needs, their contribution is rarely considered during formulation. This situation arises due to variability, especially in cereals and vegetable proteins, for example, the vitamin E content of corn can vary from 10 to 40 IU/kg. Because of this uncertainty in the natural supply of vitamins within a feed, the bird’s vitamin supply is therefore met by the addition of synthetic vitamins, usually in the form of a so called premix, that contains all vitamins and perhaps some other micronutrients and feed additives. This premixes use according to producer suggestions and in some cases their doses can be higher than real requirements. Skinner et al (1992) removed vitamin premixes from 21 day of age and did not report any adverse effects. Gwyther et al (1992) showed sever performance reduction by vitamin premix withdrawal from 21 to 49 day of age. This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of Vitamin supplement levels on broiler chickens from 28 to 49 days of age.

This experiment investigated effects of lipoproteins and Trolox (vitamin E analogue) on bovine embryo and fetal development. The treatments were: in vitro culture (IVC) in synthetic oviducal fluid alone (SOF); with bovine lipoproteins (2% v/v; SOFLP); with Trolox (100 μM; SOFT); and with lipoproteins and Trolox (SOFLPT). In vitro culture with lipoproteins increased fatty acid content of blastocysts (P < 0.001) whereas inclusion of Trolox had no effect (P > 0.05). Whereas lipoproteins reduced zygote development to blastocysts (P = 0.03), Trolox facilitated increased development (P < 0.001) and counteracted the reduction observed with lipoproteins (interaction, P = 0.009). Lipoproteins also compromised (P < 0.001) but presence of Trolox (P > 0.05) had no effect on blastocyst morphological grade. Pregnancy rates resulting from synchronous transfer of IVP embryos were not affected by IVC treatment. At Day 70 of pregnancy, compared with SOF, fetal weight was lower in SOFLP but not SOFLPT (interaction, P < 0.001). Liver weight (g kg–1 fetal weight) was greater (P = 0.03) in treatments containing Trolox. Placentome numbers were greater in SOF and SOFLPT compared with SOFLP and SOFT (interaction, P = 0.002); superior embryo grades were also associated with increased numbers of placentomes (P = 0.024). In conclusion, the interactive effects of lipoprotein and Trolox inclusion on in vitro embryo development were also evident in fetal development at Day 70.
