“…Each component was weighed, respectively to calculate carcass percentage (lean meat percentage, fat meat percentage, skin percentage and bone percentage). The backfat thickness and organ weights were calculated according to the formula reported by Tao et al (2020). The liver, spleen and kidney were weighted to calculate the organ indexes.…”

β‐alanine has been demonstrated to improve carcass traits and meat quality of animals. However, no research has been found on the effects of dietary β‐alanine in the meat quality control of finishing pigs, which are among the research focus. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of dietary β‐alanine supplementation on growth performance, meat quality, carnosine content, amino acid composition and muscular antioxidant capacity of Chinese indigenous Ningxiang pigs. The treatments contained a basal diet (control, CON) and a basal diet supplemented with 600 mg/kg β‐alanine. Each treatment group consisted of five pens, with five pigs per pen. Results showed that compared with CON, supplemental β‐alanine did not affect the final body weight, average daily gain, average daily feed intake and the feed‐to‐gain ratio of pigs. Dietary β‐alanine supplementation tended to increase the pH45 min (p = 0.071) while decreasing the shear force (p = 0.085) and the drip loss (p = 0.091). Moreover, it improved (p < 0.05) the activities of glutathione peroxidase and catalase and lessened (p < 0.05) malondialdehyde concentration. Added β‐alanine in diets of finishing pigs could enhance the concentrations of arginine, alanine, and glutamate (p < 0.05) in the longissimus dorsi muscle and tended to raise the levels of cysteine, glycine and anserine (p = 0.060, p = 0.098 and p = 0.091 respectively). Taken together, our results showed that dietary β‐alanine supplementation contributed to the improvement of the carcass traits, meat quality and anserine content, the amelioration of muscle antioxidant capacity and the regulation of amino acid composition in Chinese indigenous Ningxiang pigs.

“…These nanoparticles were produced using different arachidic or stearic acids -based fatty acid and Tween 60 and resisted for up to 24 h ruminal digestion. Tao et al (2020) investigated the effects of coated cysteamine on growth performance, carcass characteristics, meat quality, and lipid metabolism in finishing pigs and found an increase in carcass lean percentage and longissmus muscle area alongside higher total protein and free fatty acids but lower serum triacylglycerol and total cholesterol level. These results were explained by an increase in enzymatic activity related to lipid catabolism in adipose tissue and a decrease in activity of enzyme involved in the process of fat synthesis, and thus reducing the fat deposition in subcutaneous adipose tissue.…”

“…On this ground, the possibility to deliver micronutrients through animal products offers interesting additional benefits. Different studies have shown that feed fortified with nutrients can be used as dietary supplements in animal nutrition which contribute to improve the productivity of animals and the quality of the derived products (Grilli et al, 2013;Hu et al, 2015;Kim et al, 2020;Konkol and Wojnarowski, 2018;Natsir et al, 2019;Stamilla et al, 2020;Tao et al, 2020).…”
