This study investigated the effects of cholecalciferol (vitamin D₃) supplementation on beef vitamin D activity, beef tenderness and sensory attributes. Thirty heifers were randomly allocated to one of three finishing dietary treatments [(T1) basal diet+0IU vitamin D₃; (T2) basal diet+2000IU vitamin D₃; and (T3) basal diet+4000IU vitamin D₃] for a 30day period pre-slaughter. Vitamin D₃ supplementation linearly increased serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D₃ (25-OH-D) concentrations (R=0.48), Longissimus thoracis (LT) total vitamin D activity (R=0.78) as well as individually vitamin D₃ (R=0.84) and 25-OH-D₃ (R=0.75). The highest vitamin D₃ inclusion diet (T3) had a 42% increase (P<0.001) in LT vitamin D activity compared to the intermediate diet (T2) and a 145% increase over the lowest level diet (T1). Vitamin D₃ supplementation decreased LT shear (P<0.05) force values after 14days chilling. Sensory parameters were not affected (P>0.05). In conclusion, through short-term vitamin D₃ supplementation of cattle diets, beef vitamin D activity can successfully be enhanced.
本研究旨在探讨胆钙化醇(维生素 D₃)补充对牛肉维生素 D 活性、牛肉嫩度和感官特性的影响。30 头小母牛被随机分配到三种饲养日粮处理中的一种[(T1)基础日粮+0IU 维生素 D₃;(T2)基础日粮+2000IU 维生素 D₃;和(T3)基础日粮+4000IU 维生素 D₃],进行 30 天预屠宰。维生素 D₃ 补充线性增加血清 25-羟维生素 D₃(25-OH-D)浓度(R=0.48)、胸最长肌(LT)总维生素 D 活性(R=0.78)以及维生素 D₃(R=0.84)和 25-OH-D₃(R=0.75)的个体浓度。最高维生素 D₃ 含量的日粮(T3)与中间日粮(T2)相比,LT 维生素 D 活性增加了 42%(P<0.001),与最低水平日粮(T1)相比增加了 145%。维生素 D₃ 补充在 14 天冷却后降低了 LT 剪切力(P<0.05)值。感官参数不受影响(P>0.05)。总之,通过短期补充牛日粮中的维生素 D₃,可以成功提高牛肉的维生素 D 活性。
