Abstract

The purpose of this experiment was to study the effects of dietary Quercus acutissima Carruth tannin on growth performance, slaughter performance, meat quality, antioxidant function and intestinal development of broilers. A total of 288 one-day-old male Arbor Acres (AA) broilers were selected and randomly divided into 4 groups with 6 replicates in each group and 12 broilers in each replicate. Broilers in the control group (VT-0 group) were fed a basal diet, and others in experimental groups were fed basal diets supplemented 100 (VT-1 group), 500 (VT-2 group) and 1 000 mg/kg (VT-3 group) Quercus acutissima Carruth tannins, respectively. The experiment lasted for 21 days. The results showed as follows: 1) dietary Quercus acutissima Carruth tannin had no significant effects on growth performance of broilers (P>0.05). 2) The slaughter rate of broilers of VT-3 group was significantly higher than that of other groups (P<0.05), and the paw weight rate of broilers of VT-1 and VT-2 groups was significantly higher than that of VT-0 group (P<0.05). 3) The breast muscle water holding capacity of broilers of VT-3 group was significantly higher than that of VT-0 and VT-1 groups (P<0.05). 4) The catalase (CAT) activity and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) in serum of broilers at 42 days of age of VT-1, VT-2 and VT-3 groups were significantly higher than those of VT-0 group (P<0.05). The breast muscle superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity of broilers at 42 days of age of VT-2 and VT-3 groups was significantly higher than that of VT-0 group (P<0.05). 5) The jejunum villus height of broilers at 42 days of age of VT-1 and VT-2 groups was significantly higher than that of VT-0 group (P<0.05). The ileum villus height of broilers at 42 days of age of VT-1, VT-2 and VT-3 groups was significantly higher than that of VT-0 group (P<0.05). In conclusion, dietary Quercus acutissima Carruth tannin can improve the antioxidant function of broilers at 42 days of age, improve meat quality, increase the villus height in jejunum and ileum, and dietary supplemented 1 000 mg/kg Quercus acutissima Carruth tannin can increase the slaughter rate of broilers. Comprehensive each index, the recommended additive amount of Quercus acutissima Carruth tannin is 1 000 mg/kg.
