Abstract

This experiment aimed at studying the effects of daidzein on performance, antioxidant capacity and immune function of growing Jinjiang cattle. Twenty healthy 6-month old Jinjiang cattle weighted (140±5) kg were randomly divided into four groups with 5 cattle per group. Control group was fed a basal diet (concentrate to forage ratio was 4:6), and 3 experimental groups were fed the basal diet supplemented with 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg daidzein, respectively. Dry matter intake of all groups was 3.98 kg/d due to limited feeding. Pre-test period was 10 days, and formal test period was 60 days. The results showed as follows:1) average daily gain in experimental groups was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05), and 400 mg/kg group was 126.6 g/d higher than control group. 2) Apparent digestibility of crude protein in experimental group was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05). 3) Compared with control group, serum total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) activity in experimental groups was significantly higher (P<0.05); meanwhile, serum glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity in experimental group tended to be increased (0.05 ≤ P ≤ 0.10); serum malondialdehyde (MDA) content in experimental group was decreased, but the difference was not significant (P>0.05). 4) Serum immunoglobulin (Ig)M content in experimental groups was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05), and 400 mg/kg group was significantly higher than 100 mg/kg group (P<0.05); serum IgG content in experimental groups had the trend of increase compared with that in control group (P>0.05). The results suggest that dietary supplementation of appropriate level of daidzein can improve nutrient digestibility of growing Jinjiang cattle, promote growth, and improve antioxidant capacity and immune function.
