Abstract

The aim of this experiment was to study the effects of lysine and other essential amino acids on slaughter performance, muscle quality and carcass appearance of medium-speed yellow broilers during 1 to 18 days of age. A total of 810 one-day-old male medium-speed yellow broilers were randomly divided into 9 groups with 6 replicates per group and 15 broilers per replicate. Each group and 15 broilers in each replicate. Three lysine levels (0.89%, 1.05% and 1.20%) and three other essential amino acids levels (low-level: 0.66% methionine+0.58% threonine+0.16% tryptophan; medium-level: 0.78% methionine+0.68% threonine+0.19% tryptophan; high-level: 0.90% methionine+0.78% threonine + 0.22% tryptophan) were designed. The experimental period was 18 days. Two broilers were randomly selected from each replicate and slaughtered to determine the slaughter performance, meat quality and carcass appearance. The results showed as follows: 1) lysine had significant effect on the abdominal fat weight (P<0.05), and the abdominal fat weight of 1.05% lysine level group was significantly lower than that of 0.89% and 1.20% lysine level groups (P<0.05). Other essential amino acids had significant effect on the abdominal fat weight (P<0.05), and the abdominal fat weight of medium and high other essential amino acids level groups was significantly lower than that of low other essential amino acids level group (P<0.05). The interaction of lysine and other essential amino acids had significant effects on the pectoralis major weight, wing weight and pectoralis major proportion (P<0.05), and the pectoralis major proportion got the highest when the lysine level was 1.05%, methionine level was 0.78%, threonine level was 0.68% and tryptophan level was 0.19%. 2) The shear force of 1.05% and 1.20% lysine level groups was significantly lower than that of 0.89% lysine level group (P<0.05). Other essential amino acids had significant effect on meat color yellowness (b*) value (P<0.05), and the meat color b* value of low other essential amino acids level group was significantly higher than that of medium and high other essential amino acids level groups (P<0.05). The interaction of lysine and other essential amino acids had significant effect on the pH in breast muscle (P<0.05). 3) Lysine had significant effect on the breast muscle moisture content (P<0.05), and the breast muscle moisture content of 0.89% and 1.05% lysine level groups was significantly higher than that of 1.20% lysine level group (P<0.05). Lysine and other essential amino acids and their interaction had no significant effect on the pore density (P>0.05). 4) Lysine had significant effect on the length and weight of combs (P<0.05), and the length and weight of combs of 1.05% lysine group level were significantly higher than those of 0.89% lysine level group (P<0.05). Other essential amino acids had no significant effect on the thickness, length, height and weight of combs (P>0.05). In conclusion, considering the slaughter performance and carcass appearance indexes, the suitable amino acid levels of medium-speed yellow broilers during 1 to 18 days of age are 1.05% lysine, 0.78% methionine, 0.68% threonine and 0.19% tryptophan.
