Abstract

A total of 72 barrows pigs (Duroc×Landrace×York) with an average initial body weight of (31.62±2.31) kg were used in an 82-d study to evaluate the effects of duck grease (DKG) or soybean oil (SBO) on growth performance, meat quality and fatty acid deposition in growing-finishing pigs. Pigs were randomly divided into 2 groups according to the body weight, and there were 6 replicates per group and 6 pigs per replicate. The study was divided into 2 periods of growing period (adding 2% SBO and 2% DKG) and finishing period (adding 1% SBO and DKG, respectively). The results showed as follows: compared with the SBO group, 1) adding DKG in diets significantly improved the apparent digestibility of gross energy and dry matter (P<0.05). 2) Dietary DKG significantly increased intramuscular fat (IMF) content (P<0.05) and significantly reduced shear force in longissimus muscle (LM) (P<0.05). Pigs fed DKG had lower serum total cholesterol, triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol contents in finishing period (P<0.05). 3) Adding DKG in diets significantly increased C18:0 content (P<0.05), and had lower contents of C18:2, polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) and PUFA/saturated fatty acid (SFA) in LM (P<0.05). In summary, adding DKG can not affect growth performance. It is suggested that adding DKG is an effective way to increased IMF content and tenderness of lean-type pigs, which in turn affects meat flavor.
