Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary curcumin (CUR) on growth performance, nutrient apparent digestibility, energy and nitrogen metabolism and serum biochemical indices of barn feeding lambs. A single-factor completely randomized experimental design was adopted, and forty-eight 4-month-old Dorper×Thin-Tailed Han F1 hybrid male lambs with similar body weight[(20.89±1.15) kg] were randomly divided into 4 groups with 12 lambs in each group. Lambs in 4 groups were fed basal diets supplemented with 0 (CON), 300 (300CUR group), 600 (600CUR group) and 900 mg/kg (900CUR group) CUR, respectively. The experiment lasted for 90 days, the pre-experiment period was 15 days, the feeding experiment was 60 days, and the digestion and metabolism experiment was 15 days. The results showed as follows:1) the final body weight of 300CUR group and 600CUR group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05), the average daily gain (ADG) of 300CUR group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05), and the feed to gain ratio (F/G) of 300CUR group was significantly lower than that of control group and 600CUR group (P<0.05). According to the total weight gain during 1 to 60 d as the evaluation index, the dietary optimal supplemental level of CUR was 487.5 mg/kg by regression analysis. 2) The neutral detergent fiber (NDF) apparent digestibility of 300CUR group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). 3) The nitrogen deposition, apparent digestibility of nitrogen of 300CUR group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). 4) The methane energy of 300CUR group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05), the digestible energy and metabolic energy of 300CUR group and 600CUR group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05), and the gross energy metabolic rate of 300CUR group was significantly higher than that of control group and 900CUR group (P<0.05). 5) The serum triglyceride content of 300CUR group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05), and the serum nitric oxide synthase activity of 600CUR group was significantly lower than that of control group, 300CUR group and 900CUR group (P<0.05). In conclusion, dietary CUR can improve the NDF apparent digestibility, energy metabolism and nitrogen metabolism of barn feeding lambs, decrease the serum triglyceride content, and promote the growth performance. The dietary optimal supplemental level of CUR is 487.5 mg/kg by regression analysis.
