Abstract

To investigate the effects of catechin on the growth performance, anti-oxidation indicators and muscle quality of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), a total of 360 grass carp with an initial body weight of (18.5±0.2) g were selected and randomly divided into six groups, fed six diets with 0 (control diet), 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9 g/kg catechin, respectively, with three replicates per group and 20 fish per replicate. The experimental period was 60 d. The results showed as follows:1) the weight gain and feed conversion ratio showed no significant difference among groups (P>0.05), while the condition factor was significantly increased and serum malondialdehyde (MDA) content was significantly decreased by the addition of 0.5 and 0.7 g/kg catechin (P<0.05). Dietary catechin significantly increased serum superoxide gasification enzyme (SOD) activity (P<0.05) except the addition of 0.1 g/kg catechin, while alkaline phosphatase (AKP) and hydrogen peroxide dehydrogenase (CAT) activities showed no significant difference among groups (P>0.05). 2) The inclusion of 0.5 and 0.7 g/kg catechin significantly increased the total free amino acids and the delicious free amino acids contents in muscle, and the C20:5 and polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3PUFA) contents were also significantly increased compared with the control group (P<0.05). 3) No significant differences were observed in muscle proximate composition, texture characteristics, water-holding capacity and muscle histology among all groups (P>0.05), but muscle collagen content was significantly increased by the addition of 0.7 and 0.9 g/kg catechin (P<0.05). In conclusion, dietary catechin has no significant effect on growth performance, but can improve the serum anti-oxidant ability and muscle quality of grass carp, and the recommended addition of catechin are 0.5 to 0.7 g/kg.
