Abstract

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of herbal tea residue on growth performance, carcass traits and meat quality of finishing pigs. A total of 78 cross-bred (Duroc×Landrace×Yorkshire) finishing pigs with a similar initial weight of 90 kg were selected and randomly allotted into 2 groups with 3 replicates per group and 13 pigs per replicate. Pigs in the control group were fed a basal diet, and the others in the experimental group were fed the basal diet supplemented with 4% herbal tea residue powder. The pre-experimental period lasted for 7 days, and the experimental period lasted for 31 days. The results showed as follows:1) compared with the control group, dietary 4% herbal tea residue powder had no significant effects on the final body weight, average daily gain, average daily feed intake and feed-to-gain ratio of finishing pigs (P>0.05). 2) Compared with the control group, the carcass weight and loin-eye area of finishing pigs in the experimental group were increased 10.98% and 21.88%, respectively (P<0.05). 3) Compared with the control group, the brightness value of flesh color, shear force and drip loss in muscle of finishing pigs in the experimental group were decreased by 11.58%, 26.83% and 42.21% (P<0.05), respectively, and the redness value of flesh color and marbling score were increased by 16.88% and 53.46% (P<0.05), respectively. 4) There were no significant differences in contents of dry matter, crude protein, crude fat and ash in muscle of finishing pigs between the two groups (P>0.05). 5) Compared with the control group, the contents of glutamic acid, alanine, arginine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, proline, serine and aspartic acid in muscle of finishing pigs in the experimental group were increased by 4.88%, 12.83%, 0.91%, 6.65%, 8.50%, 6.06%, 14.23%, 15.85% and 3.02% (P<0.05), respectively; contents of saturated fatty acids such as lauric acid, myristic acid, heptadecanoic acid and stearic acid were decreased by 26.67%, 14.71%, 21.43% and 16.17% (P<0.05), respectively; contents of unsaturated fatty acids such as palmitoleic acid, oleic acid, arachidonic acid, linolenic acid, eicosatrienoic acid and erucic acid were increased by 24.34%, 6.61%, 43.14%, 12.71%, 58.33% and 40.00% (P<0.05), respectively; and the inosinic acid content was increased significantly by 11.27% (P<0.05). In conclusion, dietary 4% herbal tea residue can not only increase the carcass traits, but also improve the meat quality, and has no negative effects of finishing pigs.
