Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary cinnamaldehyde (CA) on growth performance, nutrient apparent digestibility, energy and nitrogen metabolism, and rumen microbial protein synthesis of lambs. Forty-eight 4-month-old Dorper×thin-tailed Han hybrid male lambs with similar body weight were randomly divided into four groups with twelve lambs in each group. Treatments consisted of the lambs' basal diet with addition of 0 (control group), 200 (200CA group), 300 (300CA group), 400 mg/kg CA (400CA group). The pre-experimental period lasted for 15 days, and the experimental period lasted for 70 days. Lambs were housed and fed in individual stalls, and the feed intake was recorded daily. Body weight was measured before the morning feeding on days 1, 35 and 70 of the experimental period before the morning feeding. The average daily feed intake (ADFI), average daily gain (ADG) and feed/gain (F/G) were calculated. At the end of the experimental, the digestive and metabolic test was carried out by the method of total fecal collection and urine collection. After 7 days of adaptation, the feces and urine samples for each lamb were collected for 5 consecutive days. Then nutrient contents and energy in feces, urinary nitrogen and purine derivatives were measured. The results showed as follows:1) there was no significant difference in ADFI among groups (P>0.05), the lambs of 300CA group had significantly higher ADG than those of control group (P<0.05). The F/G of 200CA and 300CA groups were significantly lower than that of control group (P<0.05). 2) The apparent digestibility of dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) of 300CA group was significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.05). 3) There was no significant difference in gross energy intake among groups (P>0.05). The fecal energy of 300CA group was significantly lower than that of control group (P<0.05). The digestible energy and apparent digestibility of gross energy of three CA addition groups were significantly higher than those of control group (P<0.05). 4) There were no significant differences in nitrogen intake and urinary nitrogen among groups (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the retained nitrogen, nitrogen deposition rate and nitrogen apparent digestibility of 300CA group were significantly increased (P<0.05). 5) The excretion of uric acid of three CA addition groups was significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the excretions of xanthine+hypoxanthine and total purine derivatives of 300CA group were significantly higher than those of control group (P<0.05). The synthetic amount of rumen microbial protein of 200CA and 300CA groups was significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.05). In conclusion, dietary with appropriate amount of CA has positive effects on lambs' production. It can improve the ADG and reduce the F/G, promote the digestion and utilization of nutrients in diets, promote the rumen microbial protein synthesis, and improve the utilization of energy and nitrogen of lamps. Under the conditions of this experiment, the optimal additive amount of CA in the diet of lamps is 300 mg/kg.
