摘要 [Objective]The paper was to explore the effects of Apocynum venetum diet on nutritional metabolism of Tan sheep.[Method]Forty Ningxia Tan sheep were randomly divided into 4 groups(A,B,C and D),with 10 sheep in each group.The sheep were fed with different contents of A.venetum granule feedstuff(0%,5%,10%and 15%).Blood samples were collected from jugular vein on the 20th,40th and 60th day of the experimental period.Serum samples were prepared and analyzed for differential metabolites by UPLC-Q-TOF/MS technique and annotated to the KEGG pathway.[Result](1)The differential metabolites increased with the extension of feeding time.The up-regulated metabolites in Tan sheep serum were more than the down-regulated ones,and reached the maximum on the 40th day.The up-regulated differential metabolites included 2 amino acids(valine and alanine),7 organic acids(β-hydroxybutyric acid,fumarate,ethylmalonic acid,hydroxyphenylacetic acid,gentiolic acid,protocatechuic acid,and oxycholic acid),pyrocatechol and taurochenocholate.The down-regulated differential metabolite was only p-chlorophenol.(2)With the increase of A.venetum content in pelleted diet,the differential metabolites in the serum of Tan sheep also increased,and the serum metabolic level gradually stabilized after the 10%concentration level.Similarly,the up-regulated metabolites were far more than the down-regulated metabolites.The up-regulated differential metabolites included 3 organic acids(

β-hydroxybutyric acid,oxycholic acid and gentiolic acid),2 amino acids(alanine and valine)and catechol,and the down-regulated differential metabolite was only taurochenocholate.(3)The metabolic pathways involving in differential metabolites were mainly tricarboxylic acid cycle,tyrosine metabolism,taurine and bile acid pathway.[Conclusion]The results will provide a scientific basis for the green breeding of Tan sheep.
