Summary: This study was conducted to research the effect of overfeeding on antioxidant capacity of serum, liver, gut, and breast muscle in Gang Goose and Tianfu Meat Goose. Fifty-five Gang Geese and 55 Tianfu Meat Geese were separated respectively into a control group and an overfed group randomly (15 birds in control group, 40 birds in overfed group); all birds were slaughtered after overfeeding for 3 wk. After overfeeding, the concentration of triglyceride, insulin, and glucose increased in serum (P 0.05). The activities of total glutathione peroxidase (TGP), superoxide dismutase, and catalase (CAT) in serum of the control group were higher than those in the overfed group (P 0.05). The malonyldialdehyde content of intestine in the overfed group was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). In conclusion, the oxidative stress occurred in the serum, liver, and intestine after overfeeding.
