“…The added amount of different CHMs may have an impact on fat production. Mulberry leaves (3-12%) had no effect on the IMF content in pigs (Liu et al, 2019a;Chen et al, 2021), while 15% mulberry leaves significantly increased the IMF content (Zeng et al, 2019). Significantly increased IMF was observed in the 80 mg/kg cinnamaldehyde group and no increase of IMF was noted in 40 mg/kg supplemented group in comparison with the control group (Luo et al, 2020).…”

“…Numerous CHMs have both medicinal properties and nutritional value in practical use. For example, Folium Mori is rich in CP, fat and vitamins (Chen et al, 2021), and Radix Astragali is rich in polysaccharides, AA, CP and mineral (Lan et al, 2017). Feeding animals with CHMs can transform nutrients in CHMs into nutrients in animals, which is helpful to enhance the nutritional value of pork.…”

“…Many researchers have confirmed that some CHMs (Folium Mori (mulberry leaves), Radix Sophorae, Radix Glycyrrhizae, Radix Astragali, Cortex Eucommiae as well as Origanum vulgare (oregano) essential oil) do not affect pork water content or DM (Kim et al, 2014;Cheng et al, 2017;Yu et al, 2017;Chen et al, 2021). However, Kang et al (2012) reported that the pork water content was significantly higher in pigs treated with CHMs byproducts (Cynonchum witfordii, Curcuma zedoaria, Pueraria thumbergiana) than those treated with flavomycin.…”

Mulberry leaves (4%) supplementation increased the contents of glutamic acid, glycine, alanine, arginine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, tyrosine, aspartic acid and total AA (He et al, 2019;Chen et al, 2021), but 6% mulberry leaves addition decreased the concentration of lysine and glutamine (Liu et al, 2019a It is suggested that growth-promoting effects of CHMs lead to rapid deposition of muscle protein, turnover of body proteins, increase activity of myofibril degrading enzymes, resulting in an increase in the FAA content in water-soluble substances in meat (Shuang et al, 2001). Diets containing 1 or 1.5% honeysuckle leaf powder increased the concentration of several FAA and the mRNA expression of the selected AA transporters in the longissimus muscles of Chinese Tibetan pigs, significantly increasing the mRNA expression of genes related to muscle growth (Wang et al, 2017).…”

“…However, CHMs probably affect the metabolism of nutrients (especially AA) in the small intestine by altering the growth and metabolism of intestinal microbiota, thereby changing the amount of AA (free or protein bound) (Kong et al, 2011). found that 3-12% of mulberry leaves increased inosine monophosphate (IMP) content, but Chen et al (2021) reported that 4% of mulberry leaves did not increase IMP content. However, there are few studies focused on the effects of CHMs on FAA and IMP, as a result, we currently do not understand the mechanisms whereby CHMs can improve the content of FAA or IMP.…”

Chinese herbal medicines (CHMs) contain multiple active ingredients, such as polyphenols, flavonoids, polysaccharides, due to which CHMs have many biological properties for example antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-lipase. CHMs can promote intramuscular fat deposition, increase the content of fatty acids and free amino acids in pork, which increases the nutritional value and health-promoting properties of meat. However, there are still some problems with the application of CHMs in pig production to improve meat quality. Firstly, there are many active ingredients, and their identification and study on their interactions are necessary. Secondly, the presence of harmful ingredients limits CHMs popularization and application. This review summarizes the current applications of CHMs in pig production in order to increase meat quality, and compares their effects on meat quality, which provides a theoretical screen for effective CHMs and their combinations. In brief, it is necessary to distinguish and find CHMs that have positive effects on meat quality and growth performance.

The importance of dietary fiber (DF) in animal diets is increasing with the advancement of nutritional research. DF is fermented by gut microbiota to produce metabolites, which are important in improving intestinal health. This review is a systematic review of DF in pig nutrition using in vitro and in vivo models. The fermentation characteristics of DF and the metabolic mechanisms of its metabolites were summarized in an in vitro model, and it was pointed out that SCFAs and gases are the important metabolites connecting DF, gut microbiota, and intestinal health, and they play a key role in intestinal health. At the same time, some information about host-microbe interactions could have been improved through traditional animal in vivo models, and the most direct feedback on nutrients was generated, confirming the beneficial effects of DF on sow reproductive performance, piglet intestinal health, and growing pork quality. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of different fermentation models were compared. In future studies, it is necessary to flexibly combine in vivo and in vitro fermentation models to profoundly investigate the mechanism of DF on the organism in order to promote the development of precision nutrition tools and to provide a scientific basis for the in-depth and rational utilization of DF in animal husbandry. Key points • The fermentation characteristics of dietary fiber in vitro models were reviewed. • Metabolic pathways of metabolites and their roles in the intestine were reviewed. • The role of dietary fiber in pigs at different stages was reviewed.

Adipogenesis is important in the development of fat deposition. Evidence showed that plant microRNAs (miRNAs) could be absorbed by the digestive tract and exert regulatory effects on animals’ physiological processes. However, the regulation of plant miRNA on host lipogenesis remains unknown. This study explored the potential function of plant miRNA, miR167e-5p, in adipogenesis in vitro. The presentation of plant miR167e-5p improved lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 cells. Bioinformatics prediction and luciferase reporter assay indicated that miR167e-5p targeted β-catenin . MiR167e-5p could not only negatively affect the expression of β-catenin but also showed a positive effect on several fat synthesis–related genes, peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor gamma ( Pparγ ), CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein α ( Cebpα ), fatty acid-binding protein 4 ( Ap 2), lipolysis genes, adipose triglyceride lipase ( Atgl ), and hormone-sensitive lipase ( Hsl ) messenger RNA levels. Meanwhile, lipid accumulation and the expression of the β-catenin and other five fat synthesis–related genes were recovered to their original pattern by adding the miR167e-5p inhibitor in 3T3-L1 cells. The immunoblot confirmed the same expression pattern in protein levels in β-catenin, PPAR-γ, FAS, and HSL. This research demonstrates that plant miR167e-5p can potentially affect adipogenesis through the regulation of β-catenin, suggesting that plant miRNAs could be a new class of bioactive ingredients in adipogenesis.
