Objective: To compare a direct method vs a precipitation method for determining HDL cholesterol in laying hens. Methodology: Serum of forty 26 weeks old fasting laying hens was obtained from the Hy-Line W-36. Cholesterol in high density lipoproteins was measured by direct method based on a specific detergent along with N,Nbis (4-sulfobutyl)-m-toluidine, and through the precipitation method based on phosphotungstate + Mg²⁺. Results: The standard deviation mean ± for high density lipoproteins though direct and precipitation methods in mg/dl were: 63.1±14.3; 13.3±3.5 respectively. The P value for the F test is < 0.05 showing significant statistical difference between the two analyzed methods with a confidence level of 95%. Conclusions: It is feasible to use the direct method using a specific detergent and N,Nbis(4-sulfobutyl)-m-toluidine to determine high density lipoprotein cholesterol in laying hens, because this method is not altered by high levels of triglyceride.
