The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of dietary Tartary buckwheat extract (TBE) supplementation on animal growth performance, meat quality and antioxidative activity in theLongissimusthoracis et lumborummuscle of lambs. The results showed that dietary TBE increased body weight, average daily gain, carcass weight, dry matter intake, and digestive organ weight. Dietary TBE had no effect on the pH, color, shear force or intramuscular fat ofLongissimusmuscle examined, whereas the cooking loss was decreased. The total antioxidative capacity and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4) activity ofLongissimusmuscle were increased in lambs fed TBE. The mRNA contents ofsuperoxide dismutase,catalase,GPx4andnuclear factor-like-2 factor(Nrf2) did not vary among the groups, and greater protein levels of GPx4 and Nrf2 were observed. Taken together, these results suggest that TBE can be used as a feed ingredient in lamb production to improve its growth performance, and relieve oxidative stress and increase water holding capacity of meat.
