Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the effects of feeding synthetic and natural antioxidants on performance and antioxidant status of fattening kids. Thirty-two Mahabadi goat kids (average initial BW of 16.5 ± 1.8 kg, 5-6 months) were randomly assigned to four experimental diets: 1, control., 2, containing 15% pomegranate seed pulp (PSP)., 3, containing 400 mg/kg DM vitamin E., and 4, containing 15% PSP + 400 mg/kg DM vitamin E. Animals were kept in individual pens with self-mangers for 84 d. Performance and dry matter intake were not affected by addition of PSP and vitamin E to diets (P>0.05). TBARS value measured in raw and cooked meat from kids fed control diet were higher than the kids fed diets contain PSP or vitamin E, and minimum level was in kids fed PSP + vitamin E diet (P< 0.05). Addition of PSP, vitamin E and PSP + vitamin E to the diet increased (P< 0.05) total antioxidant capacity and subsequently decreased (P<0.05) the malondialdehyde concentration in the plasma, LL muscle and liver compared to the control diet. The results of this study indicated that PSP offer a source of natural antioxidant that could be included in ruminant’s diet instead of synthetic antioxidants.
