説明

<jats:p>The objective of the present study was to determine the effect of vitamin A restriction on serum metabolites and carcass performance in Korean native steers during a fattening period. In Study 1, 61 steers were divided into three groups and supplied diets with concentrate and roughage containing 890 IU/kg of provitamin A and then supplemented with either 8000 IU (control), 3000 IU (T1) or 0 IU (T2) of premix vitamin A per kilogram of dry matter. In Study 2, 19 steers were divided into two groups and provided with the same basic diets then supplemented with 8000 IU (control) or 0 IU (T) of premix vitamin A per kilogram of dry matter. In Study 1, we found that serum vitamin A concentrations were significantly (P &lt; 0.05) lower in the T2 group, along with significant (P &lt; 0.05) increases in blood urea nitrogen, albumin, creatinine and non-esterified fatty acid concentrations. In Study 2, the T group had a higher (P &lt; 0.05) skeletal muscle mRNA expression levels of myogenic factor 6 and a trend for the greater yield grade (P = 0.095). However, marbling scores in the study showed no significant. Therefore, vitamin A restriction with vitamin premix during the fattening period was associated with a trend for a higher yield grade, but marbling scores that were not significantly higher. Metabolic parameters in this stage could be used as indicators in future metabolic studies and as early health status markers in Korean native steers.</jats:p>
