[Objective]

To investigate the effects of a compound plant-derived additive (formulated with rosmarinic acid, carvacrol, and tea polyphenols at a ratio of 1:3:1) on growth performance, serum biochemical indicators, and rumen microbiota of weaned lambs, and to provide a theoretical basis for its application in dairy goat farming.

[Method]

A total of 120 healthy 50-day-old weaned Saanen dairy goats were randomly divided into a control group and a treatment group, each with 60 lambs (10 replicates, 6 lambs per replicate). The control group was fed a basal diet, while the treatment group received the basal diet supplemented with 5.0 g/kg of the compound plant-derived additive. The trial lasted 90 days. Growth performance, serum biochemical parameters, and the relative abundance of rumen microbiota were measured.

[Result]

Compared with the control group, the treatment group showed significant increases in final body weight (16.90%) and average daily gain (38.89%) (P<0.05), and a significant decrease in feed-to-gain ratio (26.48%) (P<0.05). Serum levels of triglyceride (TG), globulin (GLB), and total protein (TP) were significantly increased by 95.83%, 27.72%, and 16.09%, respectively (P<0.05). The relative abundances of Lachnospiraceae, Oscillospira, and other rumen bacteria were significantly reduced (P<0.05), while that of Succinivibrio was significantly increased by 132.87% (P<0.05).

[Conclusion]

The addition of the compound plant-derived additive to the basal diet of weaned lambs can significantly improve growth performance, serum biochemical indices, and rumen microbiota composition, indicating good potential for application in dairy goat production.
