Dietary sodium butyrate and/or vitamin D3 supplementation alters growth performance, meat quality, chemical composition, and oxidative stability in broilers

Coated sodium butyrate and vitamin D3 supplementation improve gut health through influencing intestinal immunity, barrier, and microflora in early‐stage broilers

“…Although the current data show that CSB reduced CORT, there have been few reports on the specific mechanisms involved and further exploration is needed. Meanwhile, CSB enhanced T‐AOC in birds, accompanied by a decrease in the lipid peroxidation product MDA, which is consistent with previous reports 14,41 . In summary, CSB enhanced intestinal barrier function by increasing the number of GCs, promoting GLP‐2 and CLDN1 mRNA expression, and enhancing intestinal antioxidant capacity.…”

“…Although the potential benefits of butyrate and vitamin D on gut health have been partially described, there is currently limited in vivo information available on their combined effects in chickens and it is unclear whether the combination could get better effects. Previous results have shown that supplementation of the starting diet with coated sodium butyrate (CSB) and VD 3 improves growth performance in broilers 14 . Therefore, the present study was conducted to continue the previous work and assess the effects of dietary supplementation with CSB and VD 3 on the intestinal health of early broiler chickens, mainly in terms of intestinal immunity, barrier, oxidative stress and intestinal flora, aiming to provide theoretical support for improved production performance parameters.…”

Effect of dietary Alibernet red grape pomace application into Ross 308 broiler chickens diet on amino and fatty acids profile of breast and thigh meat

“…Although Cys and Met levels were slightly lower in breast and thigh muscle compared to the control group, their amounts were more-less similar, what is coherent also with our results. The experiment of Gao et al ( 2022 ) was the first to verify the effect sodium butyrate and/or vitamin D3 supplementation on the AA composition of broiler breast muscle, and the results indicated that too high levels of vitamin D3 should be avoided as it tends to decrease the AA content of the chicken breast muscle. Results on the AAs proportions (% of total AAs) in study of Dalle Zotte et al ( 2020 ) revealed that wooden breast and white stripping myopathies, which nowadays often occur in the intensive broiler chickens breeding, negatively affect the meat proximate composition and the AA content, although in their study they confirmed that Lys, Arg, Leu, Glu, Asp, Ala, and Ser were the most present essential and nonessential AAs in all 3 examined meat-types chickens.…”

Integrated analysis of lncRNA and gene expression in longissimus dorsi muscle at two developmental stages of Hainan black goats

“…Traditionally, people lived in Hainan province likes to consume kids’ meat and they thought the meat quality of kids’ is better than that of adults’. Generally, the meat quality is associated with intramuscular fat (IMF) content [ 14 ], muscle microstructure (such as muscle fiber diameter) [ 15 ], shear force [ 16 ], drip loss after 24/36 h of death [ 17 ] and so on. To provide evidences in understanding whether the meat quality of kids’ is better than that of adults’ and the regulation mechanism of high meat quality of Hainan black goats, we first compared the differences in skeletal muscle between kids and adults.…”
