“…The presence of PAC in the dams’ diet did not have any effect on the chemical composition of the meat of their suckling lambs, as Gómez-Cortés et al [ 42 ] reported when grape pomace was included as a source of PAC in the diet of lactating ewes. The content of fat and protein in the meat were similar to those obtained in suckling lambs of dams fed with pasture [ 27 ] or supplemented with polyphenols [ 10 ].…”

“…Milk yield and composition are the main factors responsible for suckling lamb growth [ 23 ], the protein intake being the most determinant [ 24 ]. A previous study [ 10 ] reported a higher ADG in suckling lambs whose dams received polyphenols of grape seed extract, but not when the supplementation was given directly to fattening lambs. Therefore, it is possible that polyphenols elicit a more pronounced effect during the suckling period compared to the post-weaning phase, as shown in lambs supplemented with grape pomace [ 25 ].…”

“…Previous research concerning the effect of PAC on lamb performance is not conclusive, as some studies reported that weight increased [ 9 , 10 ], decreased [ 5 ] or did not change [ 11 ]. Regarding meat quality, there is also no consensus about the relation between PAC in lamb diets and the color parameters and heme pigments contents [ 12 , 13 ].…”

Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia) is a forage legume with a medium content of proanthocyanidins (PAC), which may affect animal performance and product quality. The objective of the present study was to assess the effect of PAC from sainfoin fed to dams, using polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a blocking agent, on the performance and carcass and meat quality of their suckling male lambs. After lambing, twenty lactating dams were fed fresh sainfoin ad libitum plus 200 g per day of barley; ten were orally dosed with water (Sainfoin), and ten were dosed orally with a water dilution of 100 g PEG (Sainfoin + PEG). Their lambs (4.1 ± 0.64 kg at birth) suckled ad libitum until they reached the target slaughter weight of 10–12 kg. The presence of PAC in the dams’ diet did not affect the growth, blood metabolites and carcass weight and fatness of the suckling lambs but decreased the lightness of caudal fat (p < 0.05) and increased the weight of the digestive compartments (p < 0.05). Regarding the meat characteristics, PAC only decreased polyphenols content (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the presence of PAC in the dams’ diet had not significant effects on the performance and product quality of their suckling lambs.

“…However, it is noticeable that the expected body weight and daily gain of the lambs were achieved in all groups ( Table 2 ). In previous works carried out with the addition of polyphenols in lambs’ diet, the body weight was not affected by grapeseed oil or grapeseed extract addition [ 34 , 35 ]. Kanfantaris et al [ 36 ] concluded that the supplementation of polyphenols in lamb diets, such as grape pomace, is more effective in improving production traits during the suckling period than in weaned lambs.…”

In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of different proportions of red corn rich in anthocyanins on the diet of fattening lambs considering their productive traits, blood metabolic profile, and antioxidative status. The research was carried out with 30 Merinolandschaf lambs, 90 days old and weaned. The feed mixture for lambs (n = 10) of the control group contained yellow corn, while in the feed mixture of experimental group I (n = 10), yellow corn was replaced with red corn at 50% (RC50), and in experimental group II (n = 10), yellow corn was 100% replaced with red corn (RC100). An automatic three-part differential haematology analyser was used to determine haematological parameters in whole blood, and biochemical parameters were determined in blood serum using a biochemical analyser. A diet containing red corn did not affect productive traits or the majority of the examined parameters. However, higher blood haemoglobin content, increased aspartate aminotransferase and creatine kinase activity, and decreased glucose and non-esterified fatty acids concentrations were found in the serum of RC100 lambs. These results indicate a positive effect of red corn rich in anthocyanins on the metabolic profile without any changes in the productive traits of lambs.

“…The difference may be due to different concentration of proanthocyanidins in dietary GP consumed by lambs. Giller et al (2021) pointed out that grape pomace as by-product from production of wine and juice can be an alternative feedstuff for animal feeding which also would be helpful in order to reduce waste disposal problems. This is very good solution which should be applied in further research when using a GP in lambs´ feeding.…”

This study was aiming to research the effect of the seedless grape pomace (GP) added to feed mixture on meat quality, metabolic profile, and antioxidant status of Merinolandschaf lambs. The 90 days old lambs in the control group (C, n=10) were fed feed mixture without GP while in experimental groups were fed with 10% (GP10, n=10) or 20% (GP20, n=10) of GP in feed mixture for 30 days. There was a significant increase in L*, a* values and hue angle as well as a decrease in b* values of lamb carcasses in GP10 and GP20 compared to C group. When lambs were fed GP glucose concentrations decreased, while non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) and β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) increased on the 30th day in GP10 and GP20 compared with C group. A significant increase in SOD activity on day 30 and GPx activity on day 15 in lambs’ blood of GP10 and GP20 compared with C group was determined. Also, an increase in DPPH in lamb GP10 and GP20 compared with C was determined. The obtained results of the meat quality, metabolic profile and antioxidant status parameters of lamb meat showed that the use of 10% GP in the diet is justified, while 20% of GP was questionable.
