Biological function of resveratrol and its application in animal production: a review

Table 3 Application of resveratrol in ruminant production

Animal	Dosage	Stress model/ study design	Beneficial effects	Reference
Calves 7-day-old	4 mg/kg BW	173-day-feeding	Increased Desulfovibrio population; decreased methanogenic archaea population and pH in remen	[162]
Sheep 60 kg	0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 g/d	8-day-feeding	Reduced CH₄ and CO₂ emission in sheep	[163]
Sheep 60 kg	0.25 g/d	16-day-feeding	Reduced CH₄ and CO₂ output scaled; improved apparent digestibility of DM, OM, NDF, ADF, nitrogen, and ME; reduced energy losses in CH₄ output	[164]
Ewes 12-month-old	0.25 g/d	29-day-feeding	Improved the apparent digestibility of OM, N, NDF, and ADF	[16]
Ewes 18-month-old	0.25 g/d	42-day-feeding	Increased ruminal population of Fibrobacter succinogenes, Ruminococcus albus, and Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens; decreased protozoa and methanogens; decreased CO₂ and CH₄ output scaled	[16]
Fattening goats 28.25 kg	0, 150, 300 and 600 mg/kg	120-day-feeding	150 mg/kg resveratrol increased ADG, final BW, and hot carcass weight, while 600 mg/kg resveratrol exhibited opposite effect; increased intramuscular fat content and redness and reduced shear force in the muscle	[165]
