Abstract

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of lycopene supplementation on growth development, slaughter performance and serum antioxidant indices of sheep. Thirty male 3-month-old lambs of Hu sheep with the similar initial body weight of (22.0±0.5) kg were randomly divided into three groups with ten lambs in each group, and they were housed individually in pens. Lambs in control group were fed a basal diet, while lambs in other two trial groups were fed the basal diet added with 200 and 400 mg/d lycopene, respectively. The experiment lasted for 110 days with 10 days for adaptation and 100 days for sampling. The results showed as follows:1) compared with control group, diet supplemented with 200 and 400 mg/d lycopene could tend to increase average daily gain (0.05≤P < 0.10), and significantly decrease feed/gain of sheep (P<0.05). 2) Compared with control group, diet supplemented with 200 and 400 mg/d lycopene could significantly increased chest width (P<0.05), and supplemented with 200 and 400 mg/d lycopene could tend to increase body length, height at withers and chest circumfrence (0.05≤P < 0.10). 3) Compared with control group, diet supplemented with 200 and 400 mg/d lycopene had tendency to increase pre-slaughter live weight, Longissimus dorsi muscle weight, kidney weight and GR value (0.05≤P < 0.10), and supplemented with 400 mg/d lycopene significantly increased leather weight (P<0.05), but there were no significant differences in other slaughter performance indicators among three groups (P>0.05). 4) Compared with control group, diet supplemented with 200 and 400 mg/d lycopene tended to increase superoxide dismutase activity in serum (0.05≤P < 0.10), and supplemented with 200 mg/d lycopene significantly increased the activities of serum catalase and glutathione peroxidase (P<0.05). It is concluded that dietary supplemented with lycopene can improve growth development, slaughter performance and serum antioxidant indices of sheep to some extent, and the optimal dose is 200 mg/d under in this experimental condition.
