“…Wang et al. () also reported that dietary E. ulmoides leaves supplementation at 25 g/kg increased the average daily feed intake by 3.2% in broilers. The inconsistent reports above were probably due to the different gastrointestinal microflora between ruminants and non‐ruminants besides the different effective dose of polyphenolic compounds.…”

“…Several in vitro studies reported that the polyphenolic extract from E. ulmoides leaf (PEEU) scavenged free radicals and showed inhibitory effects against lipid peroxidation (Xu et al., ; Yen & Hsieh, , ). Moreover, previous studies found that E. ulmoides leaves or PEEU improved the growth performance and meat quality in pigs (Zhou et al., ) and broilers (Wang, Du, Ye, Tao, & Wang, ).…”

To investigate the effects of polyphenolic extract from Eucommia ulmoides Oliver leaf (PEEU) on growth performance, digestibility, rumen fermentation and antioxidant status of fattening lambs, 30 weaned male Huzhou lambs were equally divided into three treatments and fed the basal diet supplemented with 0 (CON), 5 (PEEU5) or 10 (PEEU10) g/kg PEEU. Dietary PEEU supplementation did not affect growth performance and apparent digestibility of nutrients. Compared with the CON group, lambs in the PEEU10 group had lower ammonia nitrogen concentration (p < .01) and acetic acid to propionic acid ratio (p < .05) and higher the molar proportion of propionate (p < .05) in rumen fluid. Ammonia nitrogen concentration (p < .01) and the molar proportion of propionate (p < .05) were affected by an interaction between PEEU and sampling day. Dietary PEEU supplementation at 10 g/kg increased total antioxidant capacity (p < .05), superoxide dismutase (p < .05) and glutathione peroxidase (p < .01) activities in serum and glutathione peroxidase activity (p < .05) in liver and decreased (p < .05) malondialdehyde content in serum and liver compared with the CON group. In conclusion, dietary PEEU supplementation affected rumen fermentation patterns and improved antioxidant status of fattening lambs.

“…Amino acids are important substances for the protein synthesis and nitrogenous compounds which are also involved in the regulation of metabolic pathways (Jobgen, Fried, Fu, Meininger, & Wu, ). EU has been reported to promote the generation of Ser, Glu and Lys in the muscle of chickens (Wang et al, ). CGA was confirmed to increase serum Gly level and liver glutathione level of rats (Ruan et al, ) and increase the TEAA and TAA levels in grass carp (Sun et al).…”

“…In addition, EU can treat spermatorrhoea, prospermia, menopause syndrome, hypertension, bone fractures, diabetes, obesity and many other diseases (He et al, ; Zhou et al, ). The inclusion of EU in pig diet can improve the growth performance and meat quality (Lee et al, ; Wang, He, Yi, Li, & Zhao, ), and it can enhance muscle collagen content of chickens (Wang, Du, Ye, Tao, & Wang, ). In aquaculture, the supplementation of EU in diet can enhance growth performance, flesh quality and non‐specific immune responses of crucian carp ( Carassius auratus gibelio ) (Shi, Leng, Li, Li, & Hu, ), grass carp ( Ctenopharyngodon idella ) (Leng, Meng, Li, Li, & Hua, ) and white shrimp ( Litopenaeus.…”

This study was conducted to compare the growth‐promoting and flesh quality ‐improving effects of three active compounds in Eucommia ulmoides (EU) on grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). Four iso‐nitrogenous diets supplemented with 400 mg/kg inclusion of geniposidic acid (GA), chlorogenic acid (CGA), geniposide (GP) and their combination (GA:CGA:GP = 1:1:1, the mixture) were prepared and fed to grass carp (47.1 ± 0.6 g) for 75 days. The results indicated that weight gain was increased by 5.22%, and feed conversion ratio decreased by 0.07 by dietary CGA (p < 0.05). In flesh quality, the four supplementations significantly increased muscle fibre density, total collagen and alkaline‐insoluble collagen in skin, and reduced steaming loss of flesh. In addition, dietary CGA, GP and the active compounds mixture further increased total collagen, alkaline‐insoluble collagen and amino acid in flesh. In collagen genes expression, the expression of COL1A1 in muscle and skin was significantly promoted by the supplementation of GA, CGA, GP and their combination (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the supplementation of GA, CGA, GP and their combination improved the flesh quality of grass carp, and the growth was increased by CGA. CGA played more important roles in growth‐promoting and flesh quality‐improving effects than GP and GA.
