“…Manipulation of diets by different treatments can improve the meat quality in poultry ( Cheng et al., 2019 ). The higher pH value at 24 h (pH 24 h ) in the breast muscle of broilers fed CWE-supplemented diets might be a good indicator of meat quality because its declining rate is associated to meat tenderness ( Lonergan et al., 2010 ; Guimarães et al., 2014 ).…”

Plant extracts have been proved as natural antioxidants resources as well as alternative feed additives in livestock and poultry species. Chestnut wood extract ( CWE ) as a source of hydrolysable tannic acid was used to evaluate the growth performance, nutrient retention, meat quality, antioxidant status, and immune function of broilers. A total of 168, day-old Arbor Acre male broilers (weight 46.59 ± 0.44 g) were randomly divided to 3 treatments, 7 replicate pens per treatment, 8 broilers per pen. The treatments contain a control diet, CON (corn-soybean meal basal diet); an antibiotic diet, CTC (basal diet + 75 mg/kg chlortetracycline); and chestnut wood extract diet, CWE (basal diet + 1,000 mg/kg chestnut tannins). At the finisher phase, final body weight was higher ( P < 0.05) in CWE supplemented diet than in CON. Average daily body weight gain was higher ( P < 0.05) and feed gain ratio was lower ( P < 0.05) in broilers fed CWE than in those fed CON at the finisher phase. Crude protein digestibility was higher ( P < 0.05) in broilers offered CWE than that in broilers fed CON and CTC diets. Breast muscle pH value at 24 h (pH 24 h ) was higher ( P < 0.05) in broilers fed CWE than that in those fed CON and CTC diets. The bursa weight was higher ( P < 0.05) in broilers offered CWE than that in those fed CON and CTC. Total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) values were higher ( P < 0.05) in both breast muscle and thigh muscle of broilers offered CWE supplemented diet than those in broilers fed CON and CTC diets. Similarly, broilers offered with CWE diets showed higher ( P < 0.05) T-AOC, GSH-PX, and SOD value in serum than those fed CON and CTC diets. Serum concentration of IgG was higher ( P < 0.05) in broilers offered with CWE diets than that in those fed CON and CTC diets. Total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and urea-N concentration were lower ( P < 0.05) in broilers offered CWE diet than those in broilers fed CON and CTC diets. It was recommended to supply CWE at the 1,000 mg/kg level for improving antioxidant status, cholesterol metabolism, and growth performance without affecting normal meat quality in broilers.

Mushroom (Flammulina velutipes) stem residue (MSR) is rich with bioactive ingredients. This study aimed to assess the role of mushroom stem residue (MSR) on growth performance, meat quality, antioxidant status, and lipid metabolism of broilers. A total 168 Arbour Acres male broilers were assigned into 3 treatments (7 replications, 8 chicks each) and fed a basal diet as control (CON); 1% mushroom stem residue containing diet (1% MSR); and 2% MSR containing diet. Superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase value in serum, thigh muscle, breast muscle and liver sample, were higher (linear and quadratic, p < .05) in MSR groups than that of CON. Malondialdehyde content in serum, thigh muscle, breast muscle and liver tissue sample, were lower (linear and quadratic, p < .05) in MSR diets than CON. Compared with control, total cholesterol value of liver sample was lower (linear and quadratic, p < .05) in 2% MSR diet on day 21 and day 42. Triglyceride value was also lower (linear and quadratic, p < .05) in both levels of MSR diets than control on day 21 and day 42. MSR at 2% level can be applied on improving antioxidant status and lipid metabolism of broilers. HIGHLIGHTS Flammulina velutipes mushroom stem residue (MSR) contains different bio-active ingredients which can be used in broiler diets. MSR had no any adverse effects on growth performance and normal meat quality of broilers. MSR could improve different antioxidant enzyme activities in breast muscle, thigh muscle, liver tissue and serum of broilers. MSR could reduce cholesterol levels in liver tissue of broilers. MSR at 2% level can be applied on improving antioxidant status and lipid metabolism in broilers.

“…β-sitosterol is the most abundant phytosterol, and it has been shown to reduce the absorption of cholesterol and the serum level of cholesterol in previous studies. It has been reported that BSS has many biological activities, such as cholesterol-lowering [15], anticancer [16], antioxidant [17], and anti-inflammatory [18]. Furthermore, several studies have been demonstrated that BSS ameliorated high-fat diet-induced intestinal inflammation in mice [19], suppressed the secretion of inflammatory factors from keratinocytes and macrophages induced by LPS, such as TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8, respectively [20].…”

β-sitosterol (BSS) is a plant-derived natural bioactive compound, its cellular mechanism of anti-inflammatory activity has been proven recently. Little information is available regarding the application of BSS on ruminants under high grain diet. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of dietary BSS supplementation on inflammatory response, ruminal fermentation characteristics and the composition of the ruminal bacterial community under high grain diet. Eight rumen-cannulated Hu sheep (59.7 ± 4.8 kg of initial body weight) were randomly assigned into a replicated 4 × 4 Latin square design trial. Sheep were fed a high grain diet (non-fiber carbohydrate: neutral detergent fiber = 2.03) supplemented either with 0.25 (LBS), 0.5 (MBS), 1.0 (HBS) or without (CON) g BSS /kg dry matter diet. On day 21 of each period, rumen content samples were obtained at 6 h postfeeding, and blood samples were obtained before morning feeding. The data showed that compared with control group, Dietary BSS supplementation decreased serum concentrations of tumor necrosis factor, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-1β. The ruminal pH and acetate concentration for BSS treatment were improved, while concentration of propionate, butyrate and lactate was decreased. The result of Illumina MiSeq sequencing of 16S rRNA gene revealed that BSS addition can increase the proportion of Prevotella_1, Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_group, Prevotella_7, and Selenomonas_1, and decrease the proportion of Lachnospiraceae_NK3A20_group. These results indicated that BSS attenuates high grain diet-induced inflammatory response and modifies ruminal fermentation. In addition, the BSS dietary supplementation at the level of 0.5 g/kg is recommended in sheep.
