Effects of Fermented Liquid Feed on Growth Performance, Meat Quality, and Intestinal Microbiota of Yuedong Black Pigs.

ABSTRACT: Fermented liquid feed (FLF) is a microbiologically fermented, highly nutritious and easily digestible feed. This study investigated the effects of FLF on growth performance, carcass traits, meat quality, antioxidant capacity, and intestinal microbes of Yuedong black pigs. The pigs were divided into a control group and FLF group. Compared with the control, FLF increased (p < 0.05) the ADG and body weight of Yuedong black pigs. FLF increased (p < 0.05) the loin muscle area, and reduced cooking loss and meat color brightness (L*) of longissimus thoracis. Furthermore, FLF reduced (p < 0.05) the contents of bitter amino acids, including histidine and arginine. The expression of MYH4 (a fast glycolytic fiber gene) and TNNI1 (an inhibitor of muscle contraction)
