A total of 250 rabbits were allocated to five dietary treatments containing 0, 30, 60, 120, or 240 mg\/kg CoQ10 for 14 weeks after a 1-week adaptation period. Results indicated that supplementation with 60 mg\/kg CoQ10 resulted in the highest final body weight (2.83 kg) and average daily gain (29.54 g\/day), with a significantly reduced feed-to-gain ratio and mortality rate compared to the control group. Regarding slaughter performance, the 60 mg\/kg group significantly reduced the abdominal fat rate. In terms of meat quality, the 60 and 120 mg\/kg groups showed significantly reduced drip loss and shear force, while meat lightness (L*) increased in all supplemented groups. Cooking loss was significantly reduced in the 60 mg\/kg group. Antioxidant capacity in cardiac muscle and longissimus thoracis et lumborum (LTL) muscle was enhanced, particularly at 60 mg\/kg, with significantly elevated activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), alongside reduced malondialdehyde (MDA) content. Furthermore, the 60 mg\/kg group increased LTL muscle polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) content, elevated serum levels of triiodothyronine (T3), growth hormone (GH), and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), enhanced immunoglobulin concentrations, and improved intestinal morphology. In conclusion, dietary supplementation with 60 mg\/kg CoQ10 improved growth performance, carcass leanness, PUFA content, and antioxidant status in broiler rabbits.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani16121807","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,11]],"date-time":"2026-06-11T12:14:58Z","timestamp":1781180098000},"page":"1807","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Dietary Coenzyme Q10 Supplementation Enhances Meat Quality, Nutritional Profile, and Antioxidant Status in Meat Rabbits"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Chengfang","family":"Gao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Fujian Key Laboratory of Animal Genetics and Breeding, Institute of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine, Fujian Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Fuzhou 350013, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shikun","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fujian Key Laboratory of Animal Genetics and Breeding, Institute of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine, Fujian Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Fuzhou 350013, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wenmu","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dehua County Bureau of Agricultural and Rural Affairs, Quanzhou 362500, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhi","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Longyan City Livestock Station, Longyan 364000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xianfeng","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shandong Animal Husbandry Station, Jinan 250100, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9925-5721","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Liya","family":"Bai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Livestock and Poultry Multi-Omics of MARA, Institute of Animal Science and Veterinary Medicine, Shandong Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Jinan 250100, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yanru","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dehua County Bureau of Agricultural and Rural Affairs, Quanzhou 362500, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sican","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dehua County Bureau of Agricultural and Rural Affairs, Quanzhou 362500, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mingming","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dehua County Bureau of Agricultural and Rural Affairs, Quanzhou 362500, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dongjin","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fujian Key Laboratory of Animal Genetics and Breeding, Institute of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine, Fujian Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Fuzhou 350013, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ming","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fujian Key Laboratory of Animal Genetics and Breeding, Institute of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine, Fujian Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Fuzhou 350013, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"Sang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fujian Key Laboratory of Animal Genetics and Breeding, Institute of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine, Fujian Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Fuzhou 350013, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Bottega, D.N., Lob\u00f3n, S., Latorre, M., Bertol\u00edn, J.R., and \u00c1lvarez-Rodr\u00edguez, J.
