摘要： Simple Summary Plant extracts have emerged as a viable alternative to antibiotics in livestock production, contributing to the sustainable development of modern animal husbandry. Among these extracts, tea polyphenols, derived from tea leaves as polyhydroxyphenolic compounds, exhibit diverse bioactive properties. This study aimed to assess the impact of tea polyphenols on serum parameters, rumen microbiota, rumen metabolism, and liver metabolism in Hu sheep. The results indicated that dietary supplementation with tea polyphenols did not significantly affect the serum physiological indices of the sheep but enhanced serum immunity and antioxidant levels. Moreover, Firmicutes dominated the network map of the top 80 abundant microorganisms at the genus level, identifying 13 biomarkers at the genus level. Furthermore, tea polyphenols have been found to modulate both rumen and liver metabolism, particularly in relation to energy and lipid metabolism. Furthermore, strong correlations were observed between liver and rumen metabolites, particularly between rumen succinic acid and liver alanyl-serine and methylmalonic acid. This establishes a theoretical basis for tea polyphenol applications and suggests directions for optimizing future additive dosages.Abstract This study investigated the impact of tea polyphenols on serum indices, rumen microorganisms, rumen metabolism, and liver metabolism in Hu sheep. Sixty healthy lambs, aged three months and with similar average weights, were chosen and randomly assigned to control (CON), TP400, TP800, and TP1200 groups, each consisting of fifteen lambs. The control group received a basal diet, while the experimental groups were provided with basal diet supplemented with 400 mg/kg, 800 mg/kg, and 1200 mg/kg of tea polyphenols, respectively. Compared with the CON group, the addition of tea polyphenols to the diet significantly increased serum IgA, GSH-Px, and TSOD. In addition, tea polyphenols were able to increase rumen pH but had no significant effect on the rumen NH3-N, VFA molar content, and the microbial top 10 phylum and genus levels. Moreover, Firmicutes predominated in the network map of the top 80 abundant microorganisms at the genus level, identifying 13 biomarkers at the genus level. In addition, strong correlations were observed between liver and rumen metabolites, particularly between rumen succinic acid and liver alanyl-serine and methylmalonic acid. Furthermore, tea polyphenol additions changed the enrichment of liver and rumen metabolites in the top five KEGG metabolic pathways, but 400-1200 mg/kg additions had no negative impact on the liver and rumen. In summary, TP significantly influences rumen and liver metabolites in Hu sheep, enhancing lamb immunity and antioxidant capacity, with 400 mg/kg being the most effective dosage.
