Abstract

The aim of this study was to test the effects of nictinic acid (NA) on performance, meat quality and serum biochemical parameters of uncastrated Xiangzhong bulls. Twenty-one 1.5-year-old uncastrated Xiangzhong black bulls with similar body weight [(385.08±15.20) kg] were randomly assigned to three groups with seven individuals in each group. The experimental animals from each group were provided with a basal diet added 0, 800 and 1 200 mg/kg NA, respectively. The pre-experimental period lasted for 14 days, and the experimental period lasted for 120 days. The results showed as follows: NA had no significant effects on average daily gain, average daily feed intake, feed conversion rate, back fat thickness and loin eye area of uncastrated bulls (P>0.05). It also had no significant effects on pH, meat color L^* and a^* values, shear force, drip loss and the contents of moister, ether extract and crude protein of longissimus muscle (P>0.05). The supplementation of 1 200 mg/kg NA significantly reduced the serum total cholesterol and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) contents (P<0.05), and that of 800 mg/kg NA significantly reduced serum HDL-C content (P<0.05), but NA had no significant effect on serum low density lipoproten-cholesterol content (P>0.05). The supplementation of 1 200 mg/kg NA could increase serum nonesterified fatty acid (P<0.05) and glucose contents (P=0.06), but could decrease serum urea nitrogen content (P=0.07). In conclusion, no effects of NA are observed on growth and meat quality of uncastrated bulls, but NA has some regulation effects on blood lipids, which may due to that the effects of androgen in uncastrated bulls covered the effects of NA.
