Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary condensed tannins on growth performance, meat quality, immune function, antioxidant function and intestinal morphology of broilers. A total of 360 healthy one-day-old 817 broilers with similar body weight were selected and randomly divided into 3 groups with 6 replicates in each group and 20 broilers in each replicate. Broilers were fed a basal diet (control group), the basal diet supplemented with 100 (CT-100 group) or 200 mg/kg (CT-200 group) condensed tannin for 42 days. The results showed as follows:1) compared with the control group, the average daily gain (ADG) in the CT-100 group was significantly increased (P<0.05), while the feed to gain ratio (F/G) was significantly decreased (P<0.05). 2) The muscle yellowness (b^*) value of broilers at 45 min and 24 h in the CT-100 and CT-200 groups were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05), and the muscle b^* value at 45 min in the CT-200 group was significantly lower than that in the CT-100 group (P<0.05). 3) Plasma immunoglobulin G (IgG) and immunoglobulin A (IgA) contents were significantly increased in the CT-100 and CT-200 groups (P<0.05), and plasma immunoglobulin M (IgM) content was significantly increased in the CT-100 group compared with the control group (P<0.05). 4) The malondialdehyde (MDA) content in plasma and liver was significantly decreased (P<0.05) and the total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) in plasma and the total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) activity in liver were significantly increased (P<0.05) in the CT-100 and CT-200 groups compared with the control group. The T-AOC in liver and the T-SOD activity in plasma were significantly increased in the CT-100 group compared with the control group (P<0.05). 5) The villous height/crypt depth ratio (V/C) of jejunum in the CT-100 group was significantly increased (P<0.05), and the villi height of ileum in the CT-200 group was significantly increased compared with the control group (P<0.05). In conclusion, dietary supplementation with appropriate amount of condensed tannins can improve the growth performance, meat quality, immune function, antioxidant function and intestinal morphology of broilers to a certain extent, and supplementation with 100 mg/kg condensed tannins in the diet shows better effect than that with 200 mg/kg.
