Vitamin E Supplementation

Previous research has demonstrated that dietary supplementation with high levels of die antioxidant vitamin E is effective in improving beef quality and shelf-life (Arnold et al., 1993). However, these animals did not have access to fresh forage which contains high levels of endogenous vitamin E and also higher concentrations of readily-oxidisable n-3 unsaturated fatty acids (Marmer et al, 1984). This study investigated the effectiveness of vitamin E in improving meat quality of grass finished cattle compared with those fed concentrates.

Abstract. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of vitamin E and polyphenols on the antioxidant potential and meat quality of broiler chickens fed diets supplemented with low-quality oil. The experimental materials comprised 120 male Ross 308 broilers (six treatments, 10 replications, two birds per replication). Dietary supplementation with vitamin E and/or polyphenols was applied in the following experimental design: group I (negative control) – without supplementation without low-quality oil; group II (positive control) – without supplementation + low-quality oil; group III – supplementation with 100 mg kg−1 of vitamin E+ low-quality oil; group IV – 200 mg kg−1 of vitamin E + low-quality oil; group V – 100 mg kg−1 of vitamin E and 100 mg kg−1 of polyphenols + low-quality oil; group VI – 200 mg kg−1 of polyphenols + low-quality oil. Rapeseed oil oxidised under laboratory conditions was added to the diets of broiler chickens from groups II to VI. The applied antioxidants had no effect on the growth performance of chickens fed oxidised oil. Increased dietary inclusion levels of vitamin E and/or polyphenols improved the antioxidant status in the blood and increased the content of non-enzymatic antioxidants in the liver and breast muscles of broilers fed low-quality oil. The tested antioxidants had no influence on carcass quality parameters in chickens fed oxidised oil. However, birds fed diets with the addition of vitamin E were characterised by a higher gizzard weight and higher pH of gizzard digesta. Dietary supplementation with vitamin E and polyphenols or polyphenols alone contributed to a lighter colour and lower pH of breast muscles and an increase in the content of fat and ash in the breast muscles of broilers fed oxidised oil. The breast muscles of birds given 100 or 200 mg kg−1 of supplemental vitamin E were characterised by higher concentrations of n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and hypocholesterolemic fatty acids (DFAs), a more desirable DFA∕OFA ratio, and a lower atherogenicity index (AI). Polyphenols combined with vitamin E can be a valuable component of diets for broiler chickens when the problem of low-quality oil occurs.

Strategies to improve beef nutritional value, mainly fatty acid composition, have been a major goal for the scientific community. The use of different oil contents, mostly those rich in unsaturated fatty acids, can be interesting for cost reduction, as well as cattle performance and meat quality improvements. This study assessed the influence of diets containing increasing linseed oil levels (1.0, 3.8, and 5.2% DM) on performance, carcass traits, and meat quality of feedlot-finished Nellore x Canchim steers and heifers. The experiment was carried out in a randomized block design and arranged in a mixed 3 x 2 factorial scheme. Increasing oil levels linearly decreased dry matter intake (DMI) (P < 0.05) and hence improved feed efficiency (P < 0.05), regardless of sexual condition. A beneficial effect of increasing the inclusion of linseed oil was the reduction DMI. Steers had a higher weight at slaughter (P < 0.05) and heifers had greater backfat thickness (P < 0.05). The concentrations of most fatty acids were changed by the linseed oil levels studied (P < 0.05). Dietary inclusion of linseed oil improved beef quality by reducing (P < 0.05) the n-6:n-3 ratio by 1.3 points per percentage point increase in linseed oil level in the finishing diet of both sexes.

Abstract Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of feeding fermented mixed feed (FMF) on performance, meat quality, muscle fatty acids profile and antioxidant ability in finishing pigs. In experiment 1, 225 finishing pigs were allocated into 3 dietary treatments. Pigs in 3 groups were fed a basic diet or basic diet supplemented with 4% and 8% of FMF. After 35 days of the experiment, growth performance was evaluated. In experiment 2, 600 pigs were distributed into 3 treatments, which were fed with a basic diet or basic diet supplemented with 5% and 10% of FMF. At the end of the experiment, 24 pigs were slaughtered for the determination. In experiment 1, feeding 8% FMF improved (P &lt; 0.05) ADG and decreased (P &lt; 0.05) F/G compared with CON. In experiment 2, compared with CON, dietary supplementation with 10% FMF decreased (P &lt; 0.05) F/G. Moreover, the ADFI and ADG were tended to be higher in pigs fed the FMF diet. Feeding 10% FMF increased (P &lt; 0.05) loin muscle area, a* value, marbling score, intramuscular fat (IMF), and inosine acid (IMP) and decreased (P &lt; 0.05) drip loss and shear force of longissimus thoracis (LT) muscle. The percentages of C18:1ω-9c, C18:2ω-6c, and C20:4ω-6c in LT muscle were increased (P &lt; 0.05) in pigs fed 10 % FMF diet. Furthermore, greater (P &lt; 0.05) SOD and GSH-Px activities were observed in 10 % FMF group in serum and LT muscle of pigs. Collectively, the present study suggested that dietary FMF supplementation improved the growth performance, meat quality parameters, unsaturated fatty acids proportions, and antioxidant ability.

The present study was conducted to determine the effect of supplementation with oriental herbal medicine residue (OHMR) and methyl sulfonyl methane (MSM) on the growth performance and meat quality of ducks during a 42-day feeding period. In total, 270 Cherry Valley male ducklings were fed diets supplemented with 0.03% MSM alone (MSM group) and with a combination of 0.03% MSM and 0.5% OHMR (MSM–OHMR group). Supplementing the diet with a combination of OHMR and MSM resulted in a significant (P < 0.05) decrease in the mortality rate and serum total cholesterol concentration, and in an increase in the antioxidant enzyme activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase in duck breast muscle (Musculus pectoralis) by 3 and 6 weeks. Moreover, MSM–OHMR as well as MSM alone affected meat quality of ducks by increasing the concentrations of crude protein and sulfur content, and water-holding capacity, and by decreasing percentage moisture loss and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances during cold storage. Significant differences were detected in concentrations of total unsaturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids, which were significantly (P < 0.05) higher in the MSM–OHMR group. These results suggest that diets containing MSM and OHMR possessing free-radical scavenging activities, such as for 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl and alkyl radicals, may beneficially affect growth performance and meat quality in ducks.

Abstract. The effects of addition of vitamin E to pig diet and of calcium ascorbate injection in meat on the antioxidative status and meat quality (longissimus muscle) of pigs were investigated. The treatment consisted of supplementation with vitamin E (500 mg α-tocopheryl acetate/kg diet) for a minimum of 30 days to growing-finishing pigs before slaughter. Furthermore, meat samples (longissimus muscle) were injected with 10% by weight of a 1.5% calcium ascorbate solution. The dietary supplementation of fat soluble antioxidant vitamin E significantly (P<0.05) increased the concentration of α-tocopherol in meat (longissimus muscle). Lipid oxidation measured as TBARS, and antioxidative capacity (Fe2+/ascorbate induced) of meat were significantly (P<0.05) influenced by the supplementation with vitamin E, and the pH1 and driploss was improved. Water soluble antioxidant calcium ascorbate, injected in meat, increased the concentration of calcium (P<0.05) and ascorbic acid (P<0.05), and stabilized the colour ("a" value; P<0.05) in chill-stored meat and improved (P<0.05) the antioxidative capacity (Fe2+/ascorbate induced). Further research is needed to optimise the dosage.

Our objective was to investigate Lactobacillus buchneri as a silage additive and the forage:concentrate (F:C) ratio on growth performance and meat quality of finishing beef cattle. The trial was a 2 (corn silage untreated or inoculated with L. buchneri) × 2 (two F:C ratios, 60:40 or 40:60) factorial. Bulls fed a 40:60 F:C diet containing inoculated silage had greater dry matter (DM) intake (P < 0.01) and average daily gain (P = 0.029) compared with other treatments. DM (P = 0.02) and neutral detergent digestibility (P < 0.01) were depressed by inoculation of corn silage with L. buchneri. Thiobarbituric acid concentration in meat increased (P < 0.01) by 15% in bulls fed the 60:40 F:C diet compared with the 40:60 F:C diet. Inoculation of silage increased (P = 0.02) the ratio of unsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids. Compared with the 60:40 F:C diet, the concentrations of polyunsaturated fatty acids (P = 0.03) and omega-6 fatty acids (P = 0.02) increased in longissimus muscle by 23% and 26%, respectively, in bulls fed the 40:60 F:C diet. Inoculation of corn silage with L. buchneri inconsistently improved the growth performance and meat traits of finishing bulls consuming diets differing in F:C.
