“…Similar to the effect observed with a commercial β-adrenergic agonist treatment, a 12% improvement in feed efficiency and productive parameters has been observed with the use of ferulic acid in steers [20]. Due to the chemical characteristics of ferulic acid, it can be assumed that other phytochemical hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives would exert a similar effect.…”

Dietary inclusion effects of phytochemicals as growth promoters in animal production

et al. 2017

Growth promoters have been widely used as a strategy to improve productivity, and great benefits have been observed throughout the meat production chain. However, the prohibition of growth promoters in several countries, as well as consumer rejection, has led industry and the academy to search for alternatives. For decades, the inclusion of phytochemicals in animal feed has been proposed as a replacement for traditional growth promoters. However, there are many concerns about the application of phytochemicals and their impact on the various links in the meat production chain (productive performance, carcass and meat quality). Therefore, the effects of these feed additives are reviewed in this article, along with their potential safety and consumer benefits, to understand the current state of their use. In summary, the replacement of traditional growth promoters in experiments with broilers yielded benefits in all aspects of the meat production chain, such as improvements in productive performance and carcass and meat quality. Although the effects in pigs have been similar to those observed in broilers, fewer studies have been carried out in pigs, and there is a need to define the types of phytochemicals to be used and the appropriate stages for adding such compounds. In regard to ruminant diets, few studies have been conducted, and their results have been inconclusive. Therefore, it is necessary to propose more in vivo studies to determine other strategies for phytochemical inclusion in the production phases and to select the appropriate types of compounds. It is also necessary to define the variables that will best elucidate the mechanism(s) of action that will enable the future replacement of synthetic growth promoters with phytochemical feed additives.

“…Regarding the use of citrus and winery by-products in ruminant diets, there are little if any studies that have investigated their effect on meat sensory attributes and volatile compounds. However, some bioactive compounds found in winery by-products, such as ferulic acid, have been reported to improve meat tenderness, juiciness, and flavor [87]. In contrast, Chaves [88] reported high off-flavor appreciation values in ovine meat supplemented with cinnamaldehyde and hesperidin, bioactive compounds present in citrus by-products.…”

Citrus and grapes are the most widely grown fruits globally, with one-third of total production used for juice and wine making. The juice and winemaking processes generate large quantities of solid organic wastes including citrus pulp and grape pomace. These fruit wastes pose serious economic, environmental, and social challenges, especially in low-to-middle-income countries due to financial, technological, and infrastructural limitations. They are, however, rich in valuable compounds which can be utilized in the ruminant livestock industry as novel, economical, and natural sources of cellulose, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and phytochemicals, which have nutritional, anthelmintic, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. Despite citrus and grape fruit wastes having such potential, they remain underexploited by the livestock industry in low-to-middle-income countries owing to lack of finance, skills, technology, and infrastructure. Inclusion of these fruit wastes in ruminant diets could combine the desirable effects of enhancing animal nutrition, health, welfare, production, and meat quality attributes with the prevention of challenges associated with their disposal into the environment. The current review explores the valorization potential of citrus and winery wastes as dietary supplements to sustainably enhance ruminant animal nutrition, health, welfare, production, and meat quality.

“…En realidad, existe una gran variedad de compuestos y mezclas utilizadas en la dieta animal para ejercer este efecto protector en la carne, donde uno de los principales es la vitamina E (62,63,64) ; pero en el contexto de los AH los estudios son escasos. Sin embargo, debido a la alta capacidad antioxidante de los ácidos ferúlico, cafeico y p-cumárico, se pueden sugerir como suplementos alimenticios para prevenir la oxidación lipídica de la carne mediante inhibición de la formación de productos primarios y secundarios, por ejemplo la reducción de la formación de malonaldehído (MDA) (17,40,65,66) .…”

“…Se ha evidenciado que los fitogénicos pueden mejorar la calidad de la carne de cerdos y bovinos (67,68) ; específicamente se ha demostrado que AF en dosis de 5 y 6 mg/kgPV/día durante 30 días en dieta de bovinos, se logra retardar la oxidación de lípidos, obteniéndose valores por debajo de 1 mg de MDA/kg carne al día 10 de almacenamiento bajo condiciones de refrigeración, aunado a una reducción en la formación de metamioglobina, respecto a la carne de los animales no suplementados, confirmándose así, un efecto protector contra la oxidación de los ácidos grasos poliinsaturados y de la proteína mioglobina (17,69) . En el mismo sentido, se encontró un efecto protector de AF (100 mg/kg alimento) mezclado con vitamina E (400 mg/kg alimento) al suplementarse en cerdos en finalización, generando valores de TBA en músculo menores que el control, y con una menor dureza de la carne (40) .…”

“…Su uso no sólo se ha limitado a combatir padecimientos o enfermedades en humanos, también pueden ser incorporados en la dieta animal ya sea intrínsecamente como parte del alimento o de forma aislada, con la finalidad de ejercer cambios fisiológicos que contribuyan a un efecto en el crecimiento (14) . Recientemente, algunos estudios han reportado cambios favorables con AH suplementados de forma exógena en la dieta animal, generando mejoras en el crecimiento, salud animal y calidad de la carne (15,16,17) .…”

El uso de aditivos de origen natural en producción animal ha tomado gran importancia en el sector pecuario, debido a su potencial de promover el crecimiento de una forma similar a los compuestos sintéticos como hormonas y antibióticos, pero sin causar posibles daños a la salud del animal, del consumidor o detrimento en la calidad de la carne. En los aditivos de origen natural existe una amplia variedad de compuestos, que son extraídos de distintas partes de las plantas, donde se toman ciertos aceites esenciales, mezclas de compuestos o compuestos aislados para utilizarse como remedios medicinales o suplementos alimenticios. Dentro de estos extractos, se encuentran los ácidos hidroxicinámicos, presentes en una gran variedad de vegetales, frutas y granos; los cuales presentan interesantes propiedades bioactivas como son, antioxidantes, antimicrobianos, preventivos de enfermedades cardiovasculares e inmunomoduladores. El uso de este tipo de aditivos en producción animal aún es limitado, pero se sugiere que su inclusión puede ser favorable como una estrategia para promover el crecimiento; sin embargo, dos aspectos importantes a estudiarse en los ácidos hidroxicinámicos es su farmacocinética y farmacodinamia, y a partir de allí establecer las condiciones de dosis, períodos de uso y efectos, además las posibles rutas y biotransformaciones que pueden ocurrir en el organismo animal. Esta revisión discute sobre la inclusión de ácidos hidroxicinámicos en dietas de animales de engorda, propiedades farmacocinéticas y farmacodinamias, y los hallazgos como promotores de crecimiento y sus efectos en la calidad de la carne.
