Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of feed mulberry on growth performance, slaughter performance and meat quality of yellow-feathered broilers. Two hundred and forty 43-day-old medium-speed yellow-feathered broilers were randomly divided into 5 groups with 6 replicates per group and 8 broilers per replicate. Broilers in control group were fed a corn-soybean meal type basal diet, and those in three fermented groups were fed with 3%, 6% and 9% fermented feed mulberry instead of the same amount of basal diet, and those in 3% mulberry meal group were fed a corn-soybean meal type diet added with 3% feed mulberry meal. The experiment lasted for 42 days. The results showed as follows:1) compared with the control group, the average daily gain (ADFI) and feed/gain (F/G) of the 9% fermented group and the 3% mulberry meal group were significantly increased (P<0.05). 2) Compared with the control group, the slaughter performance of each test group had no significant change (P>0.05). 3) Compared with the control group, the lightness (L*), redness (a*) and yellowness (b*) values of chest muscle of the 6% fermented group were significantly increased (P<0.05); there were no significant differences in shear force, pH45 min and pH24 h among groups (P>0.05). 4) Compared with the control group, the contents of threonine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine and sweet amino acids in chest muscle of the 3% fermented group were significantly increased (P<0.05); the contents of threonine and leucine in chest muscle of the 9% fermented group were significantly increased (P<0.05); the contents of aspartic acid, threonine, serine, glutamic acid, valine, isoleucine, leucine, tyrosine, arginine, flavor amino acids, sweet amino acids and total amino acids in chest muscle of 3% mulberry meal group were significantly increased (P<0.05). 5) Lauric acid, arachidic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid were not detected in chest muscle of the control group, while detected in other test groups. Compared with the control group, the content of pentadecanoic acid in chest muscle of the 3% fermented group was significantly increased (P<0.05); the contents of pentadecanoic acid, linoleic acid and polyunsaturated fatty acids in chest muscle of the 6% fermented group were significantly increased (P<0.05), while the contents of myristic acid, palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid and monounsaturated fatty acids were significantly decreased (P<0.05); the contents of pentadecanoic acid, linoleic acid and polyunsaturated fatty acids in chest muscle of 9% fermented group were significantly increased (P<0.05), while the contents of palmitic acid and palmitoleic acid were significantly decreased (P<0.05); the contents of pentadecanoic acid, linoleic acid, polyunsaturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids in chest muscle of 3% mulberry meal group were significantly increased (P<0.05), while the contents of myristic acid, palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid and monounsaturated fatty acids were significantly decreased (P<0.05). 6) Compared with the control group, the muscle fiber diameter and density of leg muscle of each test group had no significant change (P>0.05). In conclusion, both of the 9% fermented feed mulberry and the 3% feed mulberry meal can significantly increase the ADFI and F/G of yellow-feathered broilers. Fermented feed mulberry and feed mulberry meal can increase the contents of flavor amino acids, sweet amino acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids in chest muscle of yellow-feathered broilers, and the effect of feed mulberry meal is more obvious than that of fermented feed mulberry.
