“…Probiotics and active substances may play an important role in the effect of dietary FMLP on meat color of broilers. This conjecture is consistent with the findings of Yu et al [ 35 ], who reported that dietary supplementation of high concentrations had the most significant effect on meat color [ 35 , 36 , 37 ], and the findings of Shen et al [ 38 ], who revealed that the effect of adding bamboo leaf extract in the diets with different concentrations on meat color was linearly increased [ 38 ]. Tenderness (shear force) may be the most important edible quality parameter that determines consumer acceptance [ 39 ].…”

“…Probiotics in fermented mulberry leaf powder may play an important role in it. Previous studies similarly have found that dietary supplementation probiotic can reduce muscle shear force [ 35 , 41 ]. Relative to the control group, the muscle shear force of MLP group was significantly increased, which may be related to the increase of ADG, resulting in the increase of muscle fiber diameter, which in turn led to the increase of shear force, because the smaller the muscle fiber diameter is, the more tender the muscle is [ 42 ].…”

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of feeding fermented mulberry leaf powder (FMLP) on growth performance, slaughter performance, and meat quality of broilers. A total of 360 1-day-old chickens were randomly divided into 5 groups. The control group was fed basal diet (CON), 3% FMLP, 6% FMLP, 9% FMLP, and 3% unfermented mulberry leaf powder. The (MLP) group was fed basal diet supplemented with 3%, 6%, 9% fermented mulberry leaf powder, and 3% MLP, respectively. The experiment lasted for 56 days, with 1–28 days as the starter phase and 29–56 days as the grower phase. The results on the growth performance showed that diets supplemented with 3% FMLP significantly increased the ratio of villus height to crypt depth in the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum of broilers, enhanced the activity of intestinal amylase and digestibility of dry matter and crude protein, improved the average daily gain (ADG), and decreased the feed to gain ratio (F/G) (p < 0.05). Compared with the control group diet, the 3% FMLP group diet significantly increased the breast muscle yield (p < 0.05), reduced the abdominal fat ratio (0.1 < p < 0.05), and improved the slaughter performance of broilers. The 3% MLP group diet increased the shear force of breast muscle (p < 0.05) and thigh muscle of broilers compared to the control group, and adding FMLP could reverse the above results. Additionally, relative to the control group, FMLP supplementation improved the contents of inosine monophosphate (IMP), total amino acids (TAA), essential amino acids (EAA), and delicious amino acids (DAA) in breast and thigh muscle, and improved polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and essential fatty acids (EFA) in breast muscle; the 6% and 9% FMLP groups showed preferably such effects (p < 0.05). In conclusion, dietary supplementation of FMLP can improve the digestion and absorption of nutrients, and then improve the growth performance of broilers; it also has a positive effect on improving slaughter performance and meat quality.

“…In the present study, we found that dietary supplementation with E. scaber increased IMP content in the breast muscle. IMP is one of the major contributors to flavor in meat (24). This result further confirmed that dietary supplementation with E. scaber increased the meat quality of ducks.…”

Didancao (Elephantopus scaber L.) has been used as a traditional herbal medicine and has exhibited a beneficial role in animal health. This study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with E. scaber on growth performance, meat quality, intestinal morphology, and microbiota composition in ducks. A total of 480 Jiaji ducks (42 days old, male:female ratio = 1:1) were randomly assigned to one of four treatments. There were six replicates per treatment, with 20 ducks per replicate. The ducks in the control group (Con) were fed a basal diet; the three experimental groups were fed a basal diet supplementation with 30 (T1), 80 (T2), and 130 mg/kg (T3) of E. scaber. After a 48-day period of supplementation, growth performance, meat quality, intestinal morphology, and microbiota composition were evaluated. The results showed that no differences were observed in the final body weight, average daily feed intake, and average daily gain among the four groups. Compared with that in the Con group, the feed conversion in the T1 and T2 groups was increased significantly; the T2 group was shown to decrease the concentration of alanine aminotransferase in serum; the T3 group was lower than the Con group in the concentration of aspartate aminotransferase and was higher than the Con group in the concentration of high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol. The highest concentration of creatinine was observed in the T1 group. The T2 group was higher than the Con group in the contents of Phe, Ala, Gly, Glu, Arg, Lys, Tyr, Leu, Ser, Thr, Asp, and total amino acids in the breast muscle. Moreover, the T2 group was higher than the Con group in the contents of meat C18:2n−6 and polyunsaturated fatty acid. The concentration of inosinic acid in the T1, T2, and T3 groups was significantly higher than that in the Con group. However, the Con group was higher than the T2 or T3 group in the Zn content. The T2 group was lower than the Con group in the jejunal crypt depth. The T3 group was higher than the Con group in the ileal villus height and the ratio of villus height to crypt depth. In addition, the T3 group had a trend to significantly increase the abundance of Fusobacteria. Compared with the Con group, the T1 and T2 groups displayed a higher abundance of Subdoligranulum. Collectively, dietary supplementation with 80 mg/kg of E. scaber improves meat quality and intestinal development in ducks.

“…Zhou et al (2014) reported that dietary supplementation with 1% the combination of zeolite and attapulgite significantly increased CAT activity and decreased the MDA content of broiler. Yu et al (2019) demonstrated that dietary 100 mg/kg of Enterococcus faecium significantly increased CAT, GSH-Px, and T-AOC activities in the breast meat of 42 day-old broilers. Our previous research on laying hens found that Bacillus subtilis and montmorillonite supplementation on plasma T-AOC and the activity of CAT in the spleen have a significant interaction effect ).…”

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different supplementation levels of palygorskite and probiotics complex (Pal-Pro) on laying performance, hatching performance, egg quality, plasma antioxidative status, and immune response of broiler breeders. A total of 432 Xuefeng black-bone chickens (42-week-old) were randomly assigned into four treatments with six replicates of 18 hens. The broiler breeders were fed the basal diet supplemented with 0, 250, 500, and 750 mg/kg Pal-Pro for 8 weeks. The Pal-Pro supplementation linearly or quadratically increased (p < .05) laying rate, fertilisation rate, hatchability of fertile eggs, heath hatched chicks rate, eggshell thickness, yolk index, total antioxidant capacity, activities of total superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and contents of immunoglobulins, interleukin-2, and tumour necrosis factor-a in plasma. With Pal-Pro supplementation increased, feed convention ratio during 5-8 and 1-8 week, embryo mortality, malondialdehyde linearly decreased (p < .05). This finding suggested that dietary supplementation with 750 mg/kg Pal-Pro administration could improve the antioxidative status and immunoglobulins contents in plasma of broiler breeders, which may contribute to an increase in broiler's laying rate, hatching performance, egg quality, such as eggshell thickness and yolk index. HIGHLIGHTS Dietary supplementation of Pal-Pro decreased the feed conversion ratio and embryo mortality of broiler breeders. Dietary supplementation of Pal-Pro improved the laying rate, fertility, hatchability of fertile eggs, and yolk index of broiler breeders. Dietary supplementation of Pal-Pro enhanced the antioxidant capacity and the level of immunoglobulins in the plasma.
