Influence of Graded Levels of L-Theanine Dietary Supplementation on Growth Performance, Carcass Traits, Meat Quality, Organs Histomorphometry, Blood Chemistry and Immune Response of Broiler Chickens

1. Introduction

Plant compounds that possess antioxidant and antimicrobial properties have the potential to replace antibiotic growth promoters in poultry diets, especially since in most countries, the use of in-feed antibiotics has been banned [1]. The idea behind this intervention is to avoid antimicrobial resistance and residual effects posed by the systematic use of antibiotics, but to maintain high performance, bird health and to produce safe food [2]. Globally, many studies have been conducted to evaluate potential effects of phytochemicals on the performance of birds which revealed beneficial effects on growth, immunity and meat quality [3]. Various parts of medicinal plants and their extracts such as moringa [4], black cumin [5], green tea leaves/flowers [6], quercetin [7], ginger [8], Yucca schidigera [9] and yacon [10] have been used in poultry diets as growth promoters.

Green tea (Camellia sinensis) is one of the most famous plants; it is used as a traditional drink globally, due to its potential health benefits and biological properties [11]. The dry leaves of green tea contain 92.20% dry matter, 7.80% moisture, 19.32% crude fiber, 82.40% organic matter, 9.80% total minerals, 8.72% ether extract, 36.21% nitrogen-free extract, 18.15% crude protein, and 3002 kcal/kg calculated metabolizable energy [12]. L-theanine is the most abundant amino acid and constitutes about 50% of total amino acids in green tea leaves [13]. L-theanine (γ-Glutamylethylamide) is a unique component of tea causing a catchy aroma taste that helps to remove the bitterness of caffeine and astringency of tea polyphenols [14] and is also responsible for the umami taste of tea [15]. It has potent health benefits like immune boosting, antidepressant- and stress/fatigue-relieving effects as indicated by many studies on humans. Treatment with L-theanine showed a reversal of cognitive impairment, increased secretion of stress hormones and reduced oxidative damage in animals [16]. L-theanine has also been found to increase the level of immunoglobulins in serum (IGg) in mice [17]. In another study [18], it was demonstrated that fruit flies fed with L-theanine were resilient against stress caused by dry and wet starvation in males. Administration of L-theanine at 400 mg kg⁻¹ improved immune functions by increasing splenic tissue and decreasing serum corticosterone levels in rats [19,20]. It has also shown a significant antidepressant-like effects in mice [21]. Moreover, the inclusion of L-theanine (400 mg kg⁻¹) in diet increased the levels of secretory IgA in the jejunum and serum levels of IL-2 and IFN-γ in chicken [22]. The dietary supplementation of L-theanine in pigs led to improved body weight gain and production of anti-inflammatory cytokines [23]. Many studies, as mentioned above, have been conducted in vitro and in vivo in different species such as cattle, humans, pigs, honeybees and rats but studies on broilers regarding the use of L-theanine are limited. So, this experiment was conducted to evaluate the influence of graded levels of L-theanine on carcass traits, growth parameters, blood metabolites and meat quality characteristics of broilers.

2. Results and Discussion

2.1. Growth Performance

Significant effects of (p ≤ 0.01) dietary L-theanine on growth performance of broilers were observed in this study (Table 1). Dietary supplementation with the intermediate level of L-theanine (200 mg/kg diet) caused an improvement in terms of BWG, FC, and FCR compared to the control and other L-theanine supplemented groups. The improvement of growth parameters due to the supplementation with L-theanine may be attributed to physiological effects of L-theanine like alteration of the microbiome in caeca, but also to its immunomodulatory and antioxidant activities [24].

In the present study, the obvious increase in growth performance of broilers fed with L-theanine (200-mg group) as compared to the control group may be the result of modulation in the mucosal architecture. Our results showed an increase in the dimensions of the intestinal villi by L-theanine supplementation at 200 mg/kg in the diet which seems a most probable factor for the improved performance of birds in this group. However, high levels of L-theanine exhibited adverse effects on these parameters leading to poor performance. Beneficial effects of different dietary levels of green tea and its extract on body weight gain in broilers have been reported earlier [25–27]. These studies revealed that lower levels of green tea powder (0.5% vs. 0.75%, 1.0% and 1.5%) and its extract (0.1 g/kg vs. 0.2 g/kg of diet) improved body weight gain, feed intake and carcass traits as compared to control. Contrarily, higher levels of green tea and its extract exerted negatives effects on body weight and feed intake. However, negative effects of green tea supplementation like reduction of body weight (at 1.0 to 1.5% green tea levels) in broilers have also been reported [28]. Insignificant improvement in feed efficiency was observed by Yang et al. [29] as a response of supplementation with graded levels of green tea powder in broiler chickens [30]. Similarly, body weight and feed intake were not significantly affected by green tea supplementation (10 g/kg diet) in broiler chickens [30] This discrepancy may be due to different levels and sources of green tea (i.e., crude powder vs. extracts).

2.2. Carcass Traits

Supplementation of L-theanine significantly (p ≤ 0.05 or < 0.01) improved live weight, eviscerated weight and gizzard weight as compared to the control group, while the other carcass traits were not significantly affected (Table 2). Results revealed that intermediate levels of L-theanine (200 mg/kg diet) resulted in significantly higher eviscerated weight (p = 0.010), live weight (p = 0.021) and gizzard weight (p = 0.003) compared to the control and the other L-theanine supplemented groups. Moreover, this study also showed a significant increase (p ≤ 0.05) in weights of bursa and spleen in the group supplemented with 200 mg L-theanine/kg diet (Table 2).

L-theanine has been reported to decrease obesity in mice [31]. While the supplementation of green tea was reported to reduce the abdominal fat in broilers [29].

Several studies have reported the ability of L-theanine to improve immune response [17,32–35] in humans [36,37], in mice [23] chickens [19] and in rats. The spleen is the organ of T and B lymphocyte aggregation, Li et al. [19] attributed the increase in weight of rat spleen by L-theanine to the increasing differentiation and proliferation of lymphocytes by upregulating PLC-1 gene expression. So, the L-theanine has the potential for improving the immune system.

2.3. Meat Quality

Effect of L-theanine on meat quality traits including muscle color, pH, and water-holding capacity was investigated (Table 3). Results revealed unique effects of different levels of L-theanine on muscle color. For breast muscle color (BMC), it was observed that L* values decreased (p = 0.031) in groups 100LT and 200LT, while it was increased in group 300LT as compared with controls (group C). Values of both a* and b* were increased (p ≤ 0.05) in all L-theanine treated groups as compared to controls. For thigh muscle color (TMC), values of L* were decreased (p = 0.043); while a* and b* values increased in L-theanine-treated groups as compared to controls. Data of pH of breast and thigh (after 45 min) revealed a significant (p ≤ 0.05) decrease in treated groups as compared to controls, which was considered as a good result. Contrarily, water-holding capacity (WHC) increased in both breast (p = 0.055) and thigh (p = 0.045) muscles in L-theanine-treated groups. In this study, we observed that color of muscles was affected by L-theanine supplementation as a*, L*, and b* values for all treatment groups were in a normal range, however, values of a* and b* were found to be higher in L-theanine groups. It is worth noting that values of meat color are within the acceptable ranges for broiler meat. Our findings are in agreement with Kamath et al. [32] as they reported that green tea extracts increased redness (a*) and yellowness (b*) values of the breast meat. Moreover, our results revealed that muscle tissue color was lighter in meat with a lower pH which is in line with earlier investigations on broilers [32,38]. The color lightness values of poultry meats have been classified as; dark (L* < 46), normal (48 < L* < 51) and pale (L* > 53). Earlier studies assume that pale meat had lower values of pH and a* than normal and dark meat in addition to higher b* values [38,39]. It is generally presumed that chlorophyll, catechins and polyphenolic contents of green tea are responsible for antioxidant activities and color of green tea that may contribute to lighter and dark meat colors [27]. The protective effects of green tea against lipid oxidation and protein oxidative degradation is related to deactivation of hypervalent iron pigments by green tea catechins alone or in combination with other reducing constituents of green tea such as L-theanine [40]. The values of pH of meat from broilers fed L-theanine-enriched diets showed a lesser decrease in WHC of meats in the current study. However, Young et al. [41] demonstrated that lower overall final pH did not cause an overall depression in WHC.

2.4. Mucosal Histomorphometry of Small Intestine

Mucosal histomorphometric studies revealed higher villus height (VH) and crypt depth (CD) in the jejunum and ileum of group C (L-theanine@200 mg/kg) especially significantly higher VH in the ileum (p ≤ 0.05) compared to control (Table 4, Figure 1). Moreover, higher VH:CD ratio was observed in the jejunum and ileum of this group.

L-theanine promotes gut development and absorption of amino acids in the small intestine by upregulating expression of intestinal gene transporters responsible for the neutral, acidic and basic amino acid absorption [42]. We observed an improvement in intestinal histomorphometry in group 200LT in the jejunum and ileum as compared to the control group. These results suggested that digesta containing L-theanine had better effects on ileum as compared to the jejunum, which might be attributed to higher absorption of L-theanine in the ileum than jejunum that ultimately leads to higher absorption of amino acids. It is generally presumed that the ilium is reported to have better digestibility than duodenum and jejunum in broilers, which improves the performance of the birds [43]. Similar to our results, Mosleh et al. [44] observed a higher level that was significant from a statistical standpoint.

The modulation of gut architecture using different feed additives like organic acids, phytochemicals and probiotics, has been associated with an increase in overall intestinal surface area, villi height and crypts that ultimately enhance nutrient absorption and digestive action of the gut [45,46]. L-theanine has the ability to positively affect mucosal tissue development and even regeneration of atrophied intestinal tissue in rats [28]. The small intestine is the main site for nutrient absorption in which mucosal cells take up available nutrients through their cell membranes and drain into blood circulation. The manipulation of the architecture of the small intestine is presumed to influence nutrient absorption ultimately leading to change in performance. Our results showed an improvement in morphometric parameters of small intestinal-like VH, CD, and VH: CD in the L-theanine-treated (200 mg/kg) group is attributed to enhanced turnover of epithelial cells [31]. Li et al. [19] reported improvement of immune system functions in the rat by L-theanine (400 mg/kg BW) by altering Th2/Th1 cytokine balance, raising 5-hydroxytryptamine and domain in the brain, lowering the serum corticosterone level, decreasing phospholipase C-1 (PLC-1) and increasing PLC-1 in the spleen. While Wen et al. [22] observed an increase of the levels of IL-2 in the serum and the level of secretory IgA in the jejunum by supplementing L-theanine (400 mg/kg) in the chicken diet.

2.5. Histomorphometry of Pectoral and Gastrocnemius Muscles

The mean fiber cross-sectional area of gastrocnemius muscle was improved in the supplemented group owing to the ability of L-theanine to inhibit production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) from neutrophils aggregated in skeletal muscles (Table 5, Figures 2 and 3). Neutrophils can damage skeletal muscles exhausted by intense exercise. Therefore, L-theanine lowers further gathering of neutrophils and, hence, suppresses exaggerated inflammatory responses and breakdown of skeletal muscle [47,48]. The behavior of bird movements could be the explanation of the increase of thigh muscle weight by Japanese green tea powder feeding [25].

2.6. Effect on Blood Chemistry

Dietary L-theanine exhibited non-significant effects on blood parameters except total cholesterol of broilers in this study (Table 6). The supplementation of broiler diet with L-theanine decreased (p = 0.02) serum total cholesterol. The intermediate level of L-theanine (200 mg/kg diet) resulted in the lowest total cholesterol levels (1.53 mmol/L) compared to control and other L-theanine levels. Albeit not significant, supplementing broiler diets with L-theanine (100 or 200 mg/kg diet) increased serum HDL (good cholesterol) and reduced LDL (bad cholesterol) contents. Contrarily, a higher level of L-theanine (300 mg/kg diet) exhibited opposite effects (lower HDL and higher LDL-cholesterol levels). Our findings that L-theanine contents of green tea have an ability to lower cholesterol in the blood are in agreement with earlier reports as supplementation of broiler diet with green tea powder or its extract decreased total plasma lipids while increasing HDL [13,18,31,49]. A similar observation has also been recorded in growing Japanese quail [50], rats [51] and mice [33,52].

Conversely, El-Deek and Al-Harthi [53] observed non-significant effects of supplementing green tea in broiler diets (0.5% of diet) on blood cholesterol, which might be due to lower levels of green tea used in this study. Moreover, Xu et al. [54] also observed that addition of Chinese dark tea showed no effect on HDL and serum total cholesterol levels in laying hen.

The decline in serum cholesterol reported in the above studies might be due to catechins contents of green tea which can lower synthesis of cholesterol [6,55,56] in the body and inhibit absorption of lipids by the intestine [57]. Moreover, L-theanine has also been found to decrease accumulation of lipids in mouse livers leading to improved liver functions [33]. Synthesis of bile salts from cholesterol in liver is the main pathway of elimination of cholesterol from the body, which increases in case of efficient liver functioning, thus leading to reduced serum cholesterol content [25]. So, active liver converts more cholesterol to bile salts which might be another explanation for the decrease of cholesterol in the body.

Neutrophils can damage skeletal muscles exhausted by intense exercise. Therefore, L-theanine lowers further gathering of neutrophils and, hence, suppresses exaggerated inflammatory response and breakdown of skeletal muscle [48]. The behavior of bird movements could be the explanation of the increase of thigh muscle weight by Japanese green tea powder feeding [25].

2.7. Immune Response

Pro-inflammatory cytokines mediate immune responses in chicken as they pose potential effects on systemic inflammatory status. The imbalance in cytokine production especially disturbed pro-inflammatory (Th1) and anti-inflammatory cytokines (Th2) ratio results in pathological disorders [58]. In the current study, dietary supplementation of 200 g/kg L-theanine significantly decreased relative serum levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-2 and INF-γ in broilers (Figure 4). Similarly, L-theanine also lowered mRNA expression of TNF-α and IL-6 in thymus and IFN-γ and IL-2 in spleen (Figure 5). The down regulation of these cytokines (Th1) by L-theanine results in better immune homeostasis and prevents further activation of inflammatory responses. Moreover, treatment with 200 mg/kg improved antioxidant status in intestinal tissue by increasing SOD, GSH-Px and relative CAT levels in our study (Figure 6). Improvement in immune function in broilers was observed in response to L-theanine treatment by decreased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-2 and INF-γ) and mRNA expression of TNF-α and IL-6 in thymus and IFN-γ and IL-2 in spleen which has been also reported earlier [19]. A significant improvement of immune functions was observed in the rat in response to treatment with L-theanine (400 mg/kg BW). Li et al. [19] explained that L-theanine modulated the immune response by altering serum cytokine balance (Th2/Th1), elevating 5-hydroxytryptamine and dopamine levels in the brain, lowering serum corticosterone levels and regulating phospholipase C-1 (PLC-1) in spleen. However, Shirui and Xi observed an increase in levels of IL-2 and IFN-γ in serum and level of secretory IgA in the jejunum by supplementing L-theanine (400 mg/kg) in yellow feathered broiler diet.

Inclusion of L-theanine (200 mg/kg BW) in rat diet increased the status of antioxidant enzymes, decreased inflammatory cytokines and showed protection against PCB-induced oxidative damage in rat brain [22]. Moreover, earlier reports revealed that L-theanine significantly increased activities of anti-oxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, GSH), thus inhibiting the decrease in antioxidant activity in vitro and in vivo [59]. It has also been observed to reduce oxidative damage in rats by increasing endogenous antioxidant capability. L-theanine has also been reported to reduce CCl4-induced liver damage in rats by decreasing levels of inflammatory cytokines (e.g., TNF-α and IL-β) while reducing apoptosis [60].

3. Materials and Methods

3.1. Ethical Statement

All procedures and experiments used in this study comply with guidelines of the local institutional ethical committee of the Northwest A&F University (Shaanxi Province, Xianyang, China) regarding care and welfare of animals under study (T/NWSUAF, 235-2014, 2014-05-09).

3.2. Design and Feeding Management

A total of 400 day-old broiler chicks (Arbor Acre) were bought from a local hatchery and divided into 4 treatments groups (C, 100LT, 200LT and 300LT). Every treatment had five replicates and contained 20 birds per replicate. Fresh drinking water and feed were provided ad libitum to all birds during the entire experimental period. The total rearing period of six weeks was sub-divided into two phases: a starter phase (1–3 weeks) and finisher phase (3–6 weeks). L-theanine was purchased from a commercial company (Jiangsu Qiang Sheng Chemical Co., Shanghai, China with 98% purity) and was mixed in feed mill with different concentrations at 0, 100, 200 and 300 mg/kg feed for the C, 100LT, 200LT and 300LT treatments groups, respectively, and even did not change in pH value of diets. Basal diets were formulated according to NRC recommendations and were iso-caloric and iso-nitrogenous (NRC, Rockville, MD, USA, 1994) as shown in Table 7. Chicks were housed in a room having 20 pens of uniform size (3 × 4). Pens were whitewashed and disinfected with Bromogeramine (1%) before the start of the experiment. For each pen, wood shaving (layer of 3 inches) was used as litter. Ambient temperature was set 32 °C at placement, and then decreased gradually to achieve 24 °C from week 3 onwards. Lighting was constant on the first day, and then changed from day 2 to the end of the study trial to a regime 21 L:3D. Chicks were vaccinated against Infectious Bursal Disease (IBD) at the age of 8th, 18th and 28th days while for Newcastle Disease (ND) at the age of 5th and 18th days.

3.3. Data Collection

During the experiment, weekly and initial body weight per replicate were recorded to estimate weekly body weight acquisition. Feed refusal was also measured for each group during the trial. The recorded data for feed intake and weight gain were utilized to calculate weekly feed consumed (FC) and feed conversion ratio (FCR).

3.4. Carcass Traits

For carcass traits, five birds were randomly selected from each group as a bird from each replicate (total = 20 birds). After slaughtering, weights of breast muscle, leg muscle, liver, gizzard, spleen, heart, thymus and bursa were recorded and expressed as g/kg of slaughter weight (SW). Dressed weight of each carcass examined was also calculated (dressed weight = weight of carcass plus the weight of giblets/pre-slaughter weight).

3.5. Meat Quality Assessment

The pH values of breast and leg meat samples were determined by immersing a digital pH meter (Hanna, Italy) into meat samples. Meat colors were determined according to yellowness (b*), redness (a*), and lightness (L*) values using an instrument known as Konica Minolta colorimeter CR-400 (Chiyoda-ku, Japan) as demonstrated by Pi et al. [61]. From each sample, connective tissue and visible fat were eliminated. Promptly after measuring meat color and pH, all samples were bundled in polyethylene bags and were kept at −20 °C. After that, all frozen samples were left to thaw at 4 °C in a refrigerator for 12 h. The thawed samples were preserved at 4 °C till further analysis.

The water-holding capacity was determined by a method reported by Li [19]. The raw meat samples (5 g) were placed among pre-weighed filter papers (18 Whatman No. 1) and pressed for 5 min under 343 N force using a compression machine (SZLH508, ZCME Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China). The pressing loss was calculated as a portion of weight loss before and after compression and expressed as follows:

% Expressible water = (initial weight of the sample − final weight of the sample)/ initial weight of the sample × 100.

3.6. Immune Response and Antioxidant Status

Growth data revealed better performance of broilers at an L-theanine level of 200 g/kg of diet, so further analysis of immune response was carried out by using samples from this group. For determination of immune response, relative levels of serum cytokines IL-2 and INF-γ were determined using ELISA kits according to manufacturer’s instructions (Cusabio, Wuhan, China). Similarly, mRNA expression levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in thymus and IFN-γ and IL-2 in spleen were determined by the quantitative RT-PCR method as described by [62].

Total RNA form thymus and spleen were extracted with a TRIpure Reagent kit (Takara, Dalian, China) and 500 ng of total RNA was reverse transcribed using the M-MLV reverse transcriptase kit (Takara, Dalian, China). Primers for TNF-α and IL-6 IFN-γ and IL-2 were synthesized by Shanghai Sangon Ltd. (Shanghai, China). Quantitative PCR was performed in 25 µL reactions containing specific primers and SYBR Premix EX Taq (Takara, Dalian, China). The levels of mRNAs were normalized to β-actin. The expressions of genes were analyzed by the method of 2^−ΔΔCt [62].

All primers and probes used are presented in Table 8. Moreover, antioxidant status of blood was determined by measuring the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and relative catalase (CAT) enzymes in the homogenate by using respective diagnostic kits (Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Institute, Nanjing, China) according to the instructions of the manufacturer. The concentrations of these enzymes were expressed as unit per mg of mucosal protein.

3.7. Blood Chemistry

At the end of the trial, blood samples (5 mL each) from subcutaneous veins were collected in anticoagulant labeled vacutainers from 12 birds per treatment. These samples were used to determine serum parameters, such as triglycerides, total cholesterol, glucose, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) using commercial kits (DDS^® Spectrophotometric Kits, Diasis Diagnostic Systems Co., ˙Istanbul, Turkey) with an autoanalyzer Vitros 5.1FS. The collection of blood sera was followed by centrifugation at 3000× g for 10 min at 20 °C, and then samples were preserved at −20 °C until laboratory analyses.

3.8. The Histomorphometry of Small Intestinal Mucosa

For histomorphometry, samples (five samples per treatment) of one cm in length segments were sliced from the ileum (three cm proximal to the ileocecal junction) and jejunum (three cm proximal to the Meckel’s diverticulum). Paraffin embedding technique was carried out for samples processing, paraffin blocks were sectioned at 4 µm, and stained with H&E (Haematoxylin and eosin) dyes [63].

From each intestinal segment, three sections were used (one section from serial ten sections). From every section, five complete villi possessing perfect orientation and intact lamina propria were selected indiscriminately for inspection. Therefore, an average of fifteen values were tested for each intestinal sample.

Slides were examined under a light microscope (at 4× magnification), supported with a digital camera (Leica EC3, Leica, Germany). Images were analyzed by an image processing system photo analyzer (Image J; v1.46r, NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA) as described by [64]. The variables calculated for histomorphological modulations were crypt depth (CD), villus height (VH), villus height to crypts depth ratio (VH: CD) according to [65] and Kiczorowska et al. [66].

3.9. The Histomorphometry of Pectoral and Gastrocnemius Muscles

Cross and longitudinal dissections of pectoral and gastrocnemius muscle were processed, sectioned and stained for quantification of mean fiber cross-sectional area as previously described [67]. Light photomicrographs at 10× were taken using a Leica light microscope and images were analyzed using Image J.

3.10. Statistical Analysis

Data were analyzed for a completely randomized design utilizing GLM procedures of SPSS software version 17.0 (SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA). Following statistical model was used:

Y_ij = u + T_i + e_ij

where Y_ij = an observation, µ = the overall mean, T_i = effect of L-theanine level (i = 0, 100, 200, 300 mg/kg diet) and e_ij = random error. Differences among means were calculated by using post-hoc Newman-Keuls.

4. Conclusions and Application

(1) L-theanine is an amino acid (the active component of green tea) which could be utilized as a natural feed additive to replace antibiotics to improve the overall performance of broilers.

(2) L-theanine showed promising effects on the immune response in broilers by decreasing pro-inflammatory cytokines and enhancing the anti-oxidant capacity of the body by increasing levels of antioxidant enzymes.

(3) It was concluded that supplementation of L-theanine up to 200 mg/kg can enhance meat quality (muscle color, pH and water holding capacity), anti-oxidant status, immune response, growth performance and lower total serum cholesterol in chickens.

(4) The level of L-theanine at 200 mg/kg of diet was found optimum and would be advised for getting better immune and performance responses in broilers. Higher dietary levels of L-theanine may pose deleterious effects on performance and other health aspects in birds.
