Dietary inclusion of grape pomace (GP) for finishing lambs is expected to improve performance and product quality, thanks to its rich polyphenolic content and favourable fatty acid (FA) profile. This study determines the implications of feeding varying levels of GP (Vitis vinifera L. cultivar SiahGohar) on production performance, rumen fermentation, blood parameters, and meat FA composition in finishing lambs. Twenty-one Baluchi lambs [28.35 ± 1.54 kg of initial body weight (IBW), mean ± standard deviation (SD)] were randomly assigned to four diets containing 0, 6%, 12%, and 18% g GP [dry matter (DM) basis] in total mixed rations (TMR). The trial last for 90 days, preceded by 21 days of adaptation. Results showed that the dietary inclusion of GP did not affect the DMI (p = 0.8452) of fattening lambs, while it improved the final body weight (FBW, p = 0.027), average daily gain (ADG, p = 0.016), and feed to gain ratio (F:G, p = 0.001). Lambs fed on GP diets tended to increase ruminal pH (p = 0.100); however, NH-N levels remained unaffected (p = 0.160). There was no diet effect (p > 0.5) on plasma concentrations of glucose, triglyceride, cholesterol, albumin, creatinine, BUN, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT). Dietary inclusion of GP also led to increased muscle accumulation of C18:2 n-6 (p < 0.0001), C18:3 n-3 (p = 0.005), C20:3 n-3 (p < 0.0001), total MUFA (p < 0.0001), and PUFA (p < 0.0001). GP also mitigated lipid oxidation in lamb's meat, as indicated by lower (p < 0.0001) malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. Further investigation is warranted to verify the potential effects of GP on the rumen microbiome, colour stability, and shelf-life of meat, as well as to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the action of polyphenols and their composition contained in GP.
由于葡萄渣富含多酚且脂肪酸(FA)组成良好,在育肥羔羊日粮中添加葡萄渣(GP)有望提高生产性能和产品质量。本研究确定了饲喂不同水平的GP(葡萄品种SiahGohar)对育肥羔羊的生产性能、瘤胃发酵、血液参数和肉中脂肪酸组成的影响。将21只俾路支羔羊[初始体重(IBW)为28.35±1.54千克,平均值±标准差(SD)]随机分配到四种日粮中,这些日粮在全混合日粮(TMR)中的GP含量(以干物质(DM)计)分别为0%、6%、12%和18%。试验持续90天,之前有21天的适应期。结果表明,日粮中添加GP对育肥羔羊的干物质采食量(DMI,p = 0.8452)没有影响,但提高了终体重(FBW,p = 0.027)、平均日增重(ADG,p = 0.016)和料重比(F:G,p = 0.001)。饲喂GP日粮的羔羊瘤胃pH值有升高趋势(p = 0.100);然而,氨氮水平未受影响(p = 0.160)。日粮对血浆中葡萄糖、甘油三酯、胆固醇、白蛋白、肌酐、尿素氮、天冬氨酸转氨酶(AST)和丙氨酸转氨酶(ALT)的浓度没有影响(p > 0.5)。日粮中添加GP还导致肌肉中C18:2 n-6(p < 0.0001)、C18:3 n-3(p = 0.005)、C20:3 n-3(p < 0.0001)、总单不饱和脂肪酸(MUFA,p < 0.0001)和多不饱和脂肪酸(PUFA,p < 0.0001)的积累增加。GP还减轻了羊肉中的脂质氧化,丙二醛(MDA)水平较低表明了这一点(p < 0.0001)。有必要进一步研究以验证GP对瘤胃微生物群、肉的颜色稳定性和货架期的潜在影响,并阐明GP中所含多酚及其成分的作用机制。
