Abstract

This experiment aimed to investigate the impact of the diet containing glutamine on muscle fiber types and meat quality of feed restriction yaks. Our findings show that the meat quality and slaughter performance in the feed restriction group decreased relative to the control group. However, diet containing glutamine improved slaughter performance by increasing carcass weight, dressing percentage, net meat weight, and net meat percentage. Moreover, it improved meat quality by increasing L* and reducing drip loss. In addition, dietary glutamine supplementation alleviated the increase in the fast-twitch fibers, abnormal glutamine metabolism, oxidative damage, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Mechanistically, the AMPK/Sirt1/PGC-1α/TAFM pathway might be implicated in glutamine alleviated the feed restriction-induced reduction in meat quality. In summary, our findings suggested that dietary glutamine supplementation of feed-restricted yaks can effectively improve the antioxidant capacity, slow-twitch fiber percentage, and the meat quality of the yak Longissimus thoracis muscle.
饲粮中添加谷氨酰胺对限饲牦牛屠宰性能、肉品质和骨骼肌纤维类型的影响
本试验旨在研究谷氨酰胺饲粮对限饲牦牛肌纤维类型和肉品质的影响。我们的研究结果表明,与对照组相比,限饲组的肉质和屠宰性能下降。然而,饲粮中添加谷氨酰胺可通过提高胴体重、屠宰率、净肉重和净肉率来改善屠宰性能。此外,它还通过提高L*和减少滴漏损失来改善肉质。此外,饲粮补充谷氨酰胺可减轻快肌纤维增加、谷氨酰胺代谢异常、氧化损伤和线粒体功能障碍。从机制上看,AMPK/Sirt1/PGC-1α/TAFM通路可能与谷氨酰胺缓解限饲引起的肉品质下降有关。综上所述,饲粮中添加谷氨酰胺可有效提高牦牛胸最长肌的抗氧化能力、慢肌纤维百分比和肉品质。

期刊介绍: The aim of Meat Science is to serve as a suitable platform for the dissemination of interdisciplinary and international knowledge on all factors influencing the properties of meat. While the journal primarily focuses on the flesh of mammals, contributions related to poultry will be considered if they enhance the overall understanding of the relationship between muscle nature and meat quality post mortem. Additionally, papers on large birds (e.g., emus, ostriches) as well as wild-captured mammals and crocodiles will be welcomed.
