Abstract：The study aimed to investigate the effects of feeding mulberry leaf flavonoids on the serum amino acid metabolism,serum biochemical indexes,and lactation performance of lactating buffalo.Twenty buffalo with similar lactating yield were randomly divided into two groups with ten replicates in per group and one buffalo per replicate.The control group was fed with basic diet,while the experimental group was fed with basic diet+45 g/(head·d)mulberry leaves flavonoids.The experiment period was five weeks.The results showed that feeding mulberry leaves flavonoids significantly decreased serum low density lipoprotein(P＜0.05),significantly increased the serum insulin content(P＜0.05),significantly decreased the contents of methionine in serum(P＜0.05),and significantly increased the milk yield,milk protein content,and milk fat content(P＜0.05).The study indicates that the mulberry leaves flavonoids can improve the lactating performance of buffalo by regulating the metabolism of amino acids and lipids in serum.
