Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the possible application of mulberry silage as a functional feed in the feeding management of Hanwoo, Korean native cattle, for high quality beef production. Twenty Hanwoo steers in the last stage of fattening were randomly assigned to two groups with (MSS) or without (Control) supplemental mulberry silage. The Control group was fed on a standard total mixed commercial ration, while the MSS group was fed on a total mixed commercial ration formulated with mulberry silage at the rate of 10%, fresh matter basis, for 30 days. The mulberry silage contained active ingredients such as 1-deoxynojirimycin, γ-aminobutyric acid, and phenol compounds. In the present study, the oxidative stress biomarkers such as glutathione, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, catalase, and glutathione-S-transferase were improved in the MSS group compared with the Control group. Electron spin resonance assays showed that 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity was significantly elevated by 75.5% in the MSS group (P < 0.001). Moreover, the MSS group exhibited stronger scavenging activity against hydroxyl radicals, superoxide radicals, and alkyl radicals, and the radical scavenging activity occurred in a dose-dependent manner. Findings from the present study suggest that mulberry silage may be useful as a functional feed by improving the antioxidant activity against various reactive radicals for beef cattle.

Additional keywords: antioxidant activity, functional feed.
