This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary different level of Puerarin flavonoids on growth performance and meat quality of Arbor Acre (AA) broilers. A total of 275 healthy one-day-old AA broilers were randomly divided into 5 groups with 5 replicates per group and 11 broilers per replicate. Broilers in the control group were fed a basal diet, and the others were fed the basal diet supplemented with 10, 50, 250 and 1 250 mg/kg Puerarin flavonoids, respectively. The feeding trial lasted for 42 days. The results showed as follows: 1) compared with the control group, the average daily gain (ADG) of AA broilers in 10 mg/kg supplemental group was significantly increased during 8 to 14, 15 to 21 and 29 to 35 days of age (P<0.05), but the ADG in 10 mg/kg supplemental group was significantly decreased during 22 to 28 days of age (P<0.05). The ADG of AA broilers in 250 mg/kg supplemental group was significantly higher than that in the control group during 8 to 14 days of age (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the ratio of feed to gain (F/G) of AA broilers in 10 mg/kg supplemental group was significantly decreased during 15 to 21, 29 to 35 and 36 to 42 days of age (P<0.05), but the F/G in 10 mg/kg supplemental group was significantly increased during 22 to 28 days of age (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the average daily feed intake (ADFI) of AA broilers among all groups (P<0.05). 2) Compared with the control group, the lightness (L^*) value of breast and leg muscle of AA broilers in 10 mg/kg supplemental group was significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the redness (a^*) value in 10 mg/kg supplemental group had a raising trend (P>0.05). The lightness value of leg muscle in 250 mg/kg supplemental group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). The yellowness (b^*) value of breast and leg muscle in 50 mg/kg supplemental group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). Moreover, compared with the control group, the shear force of breast muscle of AA broilers in 250 and 1 250 mg/kg supplemental groups was significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the moisture content of breast muscle in 250 mg/kg supplemental group was significantly increased (P<0.05). These results suggest that dietary 10 mg/kg Puerarin flavonoids can improve the growth performance, but dietary 250 mg/kg Puerarin flavonoids can improve the meat color and tenderness of AA broilers.
