饲料中益生菌对凡纳滨对虾生长、肠道菌群及部分免疫指标的影响

以初体质量为(0.11±0.00)g的凡纳滨对虾(Litopenaeus vannamei)为研究对象,在室外水泥池进行10周饲喂实验,研究饲料中添加单一益生菌和复合益生菌对凡纳滨对虾生长、消化酶、肠道和粪便菌群及部分免疫指标的影响.以基础饲料为对照组,在基础饲料中分别添加地衣芽孢杆菌(Bacillus licheniformis)、枯草芽孢杆菌(Bacillus subtilis)、虾乐333(复合益生菌)、地衣芽孢杆菌+枯草芽孢杆菌(1:1)、虾乐333+地衣芽孢杆菌+枯草芽孢杆菌(1:1:1)各1 g/kg,配制5种实验饲料.实验结果显示,复合益生菌饲喂组对虾的特定生长率显著高于对照组(P<0.05),而单一益生菌饲喂组与对照组差异不显著(P<0.05).饲料中添加益生菌能使凡纳滨对虾肠道蛋白酶和淀粉酶活力升高,其中复合益生菌饲喂组淀粉酶活力显著高于对照组(P<0.05).与对照组比,饲料中添加益生菌显著降低了肠道及粪便弧菌数(P<0.05),不同程度提高了凡纳滨对虾血清蛋白浓度、酚氧化酶活力、溶菌酶活力和总抗氧化力,其中添加复合益生菌能使血清蛋白浓度及溶菌酶活力较对照组显著提高(P<0.05).上述结果表明,与饲喂单一益生菌相比,复合益生菌对凡纳滨对虾的生长、免疫力具有更好的促进作用.     

饲料中添加益生菌对凡纳滨对虾抗感染和5种免疫基因表达的影响

在商品凡纳对虾饲料中添加不同水平(0％、0．2％、0．5％、0．8％、1．5％、3％、5％)的螺旋藻，投喂给凡纳对虾幼虾，饲养8周后测定虾体EPA、DHA含量。在0～1．5％螺旋藻添加范围内，虾体EPA的含量(Y)与螺旋藻添加量(X)呈现良好的线性关系(YEPA=2．4275X 4．5975 R^2=0．9611)，在0～0．8％的螺旋藻添加范围内，虾体中DHA的含量与螺旋藻添加量也呈显著线性相关(YDHA=4．668X 5．6545 R^2=0．9631)。结果表明：适量添加螺旋藻可以显著改善凡纳对虾EPA和DHA在总脂肪酸中含量。     

溶藻弧菌VZ5株在凡纳滨对虾育苗中应用的研究

在凡纳滨对虾育苗涵状幼体期以不同频次添加溶藻弧菌VZ5株,并在糠虾幼体后搭配添加芽孢杆菌Bz5株,测定育苗过程中水质、水体中弧菌密度变动以及对虾幼体生长和存活状况,研究溶藻弧菌VZ5株在凡纳滨对虾育苗中应用的效果。结果表明,添加溶藻弧菌的3个处理组仔虾期氨氮浓度显著低于对照组;仔虾期幼体干重分别为0．0463±0．0009、0．0420±0．0006、0．0407±0．0009g／尾,显著高于对照组（0．0253±0．0003g／尾）。滏状幼体期每天添加溶藻弧菌的处理组幼体成活率显著高于其他处理组（P〈0．05）。溶藻弧菌VZ5株能够有效降低水体中氨氮的积累和促进对虾幼体生长。     

益倍康对刺参生长、消化和免疫相关指标的影响

以刺参为试验对象,在其基础饲料中分别添加1、5、10、20g/kg的微生态制剂益倍康,进行60d的饲养试验,研究益倍康对刺参生长、消化和免疫功能的影响。结果表明,益倍康具有一定的促长作用,20g/kg组的特定生长率显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。益倍康对提高刺参消化酶活性、免疫功能具有积极作用,其中20g/kg组的淀粉酶、蛋白酶活性显著高于对照组(P<0.05);5g/kg组的淀粉酶、蛋白酶、酸性磷酸酶(ACP)、碱性磷酸酶(AKP)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)等活性均显著高于对照组(P<0.05);统计分析表明,5g/kg为益倍康最适添加量。

饲料中用混合植物蛋白并添加氨基酸替代鱼粉对斑节对虾生长及免疫力的影响

以不同比例大豆浓缩蛋白和花生麸为混合植物蛋白源替代不同水平鱼粉,并添加包膜赖氨酸和蛋氨酸,饲喂斑节对虾（Penaeus morlodoll）[（1．27±0．02）g]56d,研究不同鱼粉含量饲料对斑节对虾生长及非特异性免疫力的影响。结果表明：1）斑节对虾增重率（245．02％）、特定生长率（2．58％·d^-1）均在对照组获得最大值,显著高于除F1和F2组外的其他各组（P〈0．05）。当对虾摄食F1组饲料时饲料系数最小,显著小于F3～F5组（P〈0．05）。成活率在F4组最低,显著低于F0～F2组（P〈0．05）,但与其他各组无显著性差异（P〉0．05）;2）混合植物蛋白替代不同水平鱼粉的饲料对虾体成分无显著性影响（P〉0．05）;3）肝脏中超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）活性在F2组最高,显著高于对照组（P〈0．05）,与其他各组差异不显著（P〉0．05）。肌肉中S01）活性在F5组最高,显著高于其他各组（P〈0．05）,酸性磷酸酶（ACP）活性在F1组最高,显著高于F2～F4组（P〈0．05）,溶菌酶（LSZ）活性在F4和F5组最高,显著高于F1D～F3组（P〈0．05）。根据斑节对虾的增电率和特定生长率得出用混合植物蛋白并添加包膜氨基酸可替代饲料中20％的鱼粉,且随着饲料中植物蛋向含量的增加,对虾非特异性免疫力增强。     

Evaluation of a fish meal analogue as a replacement for fish meal in practical diets for Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei

Three six‐week growth trials and a digestibility trial were conducted to evaluate a fish meal analogue (FMA) as a replacement for fish meal (FM) in shrimp feeds. Trials 1 and 2 evaluated and confirmed the potential of FMA supplementation (0, 48.5, 97, 145.5 and 194 g/kg) as a replacement for FM up to 200 g/kg without balancing for phosphorus (P) in practical diets for juvenile Pacific white shrimp L. vannamei. At the end of trial 1, shrimp offered diets containing 48.5 g/kg FMA exhibited significantly higher weight gain (WG) than those fed with the diet containing 145.5 g/kg FMA. At the end of trial 2, dietary FMA inclusion at 48.5 and 97 g/kg significantly improved WG and protein retention (PR), while reducing FCR and protein content of shrimp body compared to the diet containing 194 g/kg FMA. To determine whether P deficiency is the cause of reduced growth, the third trial was conducted utilizing equivalent diet but balanced for P. At the end of trial 3, shrimp fed diet containing 48.5 g/kg FMA+P showed significantly higher WG and PR than those fed diet containing 145.5 g/kg FMA+P. No decreasing trend of growth was detected in the diets containing FMA compared to the FM‐based diet. Apparent digestibility coefficients of dry matter, energy, protein and amino acids of FMA were determined using chromic oxide as an inert maker and the 70:30 replacement technique. The energy, protein and individual amino acid digestibility of FMA were significantly lower than those of soybean meal and FM which were run at the same time. Results of this work indicate that FMA can replace up to 200 g/kg FM in shrimp diets with supplemental inorganic P. Given the good growth across the range of inclusion without any indication of a growth depression, the low nutrient digestibility of FMA may be due to an atypical response or the product simply does not work with the testing technique.     

苯甲酸雌二醇诱导新吉富罗非鱼雌性化的研究

2009年7月12日至10月21日和2010年5月1日至11月6日,水温23～31℃范围下,在3口2.72m×1.55m×0.72m、水深0.62m的水泥育苗池和3口1.2m×1.0 m×1.0 m、网目20目/英寸的小网箱中,分别放养100尾体长0.7～1.9㎝的新吉富尼罗罗非鱼(Oreochromis niloticus)苗,投喂含不同剂量的苯甲酸雌二醇(EB)激素的饲料,以获得用于生产YY超雄鱼的XY转化雌鱼。结果显示,用100 mg.kg-1EB饲料投喂26d、36d、46d、59d和饲养102d后,实验鱼的雌性率分别为80.0%、93.4%、93.9%和94.0%,分别比对照鱼(54.8%)高25.2%、38.6%、39.1%和39.2%;用200 mg.kg-1EB饲料投喂24d和饲养188d后,实验鱼的雌性率为83.1%,比对照鱼(46.9%)高出36.2%。经Χ2检验,两次试验的雌性转化率差异均极显著(P<0.001)。实验鱼和对照鱼的成活率差异不显著,未见畸形现象。实验结束时两批实验鱼的体质量和全长均显著小于对照鱼(P<0.01和P<0.05),未转化的实验雄鱼与对照雄鱼的全长、体质量差异不显著(P>0.50)。综合分析认为,用EB诱导新吉富罗非鱼苗雌性化的适宜剂量为200 mg.kg-1饲料,投喂35d左右较为适宜。     

Dietary arginine requirement of juvenile kuruma shrimp Marsupenaeus japonicus (Bate)

The requirements for essential amino acids by kuruma shrimp, Marsupenaeus japonicus (Bate) have not yet been determined using the dose–response method due to poor utilization of crystalline amino acids (CAA). In a previous study, we produced coated CAA that could be used to retard leaching losses. Therefore, to determine the arginine requirement of juvenile kuruma shrimp, a growth study was conducted using test diets containing six levels of coated arginine (from 1.20% to 3.19% of diet) for 42 days. Crystalline amino acids was supplemented to correspond to the amino acid pattern in the whole body protein of the kuruma shrimp except for arginine. To reduce leaching losses, CAA were coated with carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and diets were further bound with CMC and k‐carrageenan. Test diets were fed to triplicate groups of juveniles (0.25±0.02 g) twice a day. Proximate composition and the amino acid composition of shrimp whole bodies were analysed at the end of the feeding trial. Percent body weight gain (WG), specific growth rate, feed intake, feed efficiency ratio and protein retention efficiency were significantly affected by the dietary arginine concentrations. Estimating the arginine requirement of kuruma shrimp using broken‐line analysis of percent WG resulted in a value of 2.66% of diet or 5.32% of protein. After correcting for leaching of arginine from the diets, the optimum dietary value of arginine for kuruma shrimp was a little lower than the estimated value.     

中草药添加剂对山女鳟体内MHC及IL-1β含量的影响

在14．0±0．3℃下,将体质量为100．00±2．15g的1＋龄山女鳟（Oncorhynchus masou masou）饲养在循环水族箱（直径0．85m,高1m）中,每天按鱼体质量1．0％投喂对照（基础饲料,对照组）和含3种自组中药方剂（E1、E2和E3）水煎剂的饲料（给药剂量分别为53．4g·kg^-1·、18．6g·kg^-1和2．4g·kg^-1）30d。停食1d后测定脾、血浆、血细胞、肝4种组织中主要组织相容性复合体（MHC）及白细胞介素（IL-1β）的含量。结果表明：对照组中山女鳟体内MHC含量由高至低依次为：脾〉血浆〉血细胞〉肝;IL-1β含量为：血浆〉肝〉脾〉血细胞。方剂E2对山女鳟体内四种组织中MHC含量有促进作用,且在脾内作用最强;而对山女鳟脾及血细胞中IL-1β含量起到略微促进作用,但抑制血浆中IL-1β含量。本实验表明：方剂E2是最适用于山女鳟的免疫调节制剂。     

Fishmeal levels can be successfully reduced in white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) if supplemented with DL‐Methionine (DL‐Met) or DL‐Methionyl‐DL‐Methionine (Met‐Met)

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of methionine supplementation when reducing fishmeal levels in diets for white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). Tested diets consisted of a positive control with 260 g/kg fishmeal (D1), two negative controls with 100 g/kg fishmeal and no amino acid (AA) supplementation (D2) or supplemented with lysine but not methionine (D3), and four additional diets with 100g/kg fishmeal supplemented with increasing levels of DL‐Met (1.0, 2.0 or 3.0 g/kg) (D4, D5, D6) or Met‐Met (1.0 g/kg) (D7). Each diet was fed to four groups of 30 shrimp for 8 weeks at a daily rate of 70 g/kg body weight. Reduction in fishmeal from 260 g/kg down to 100 g/kg did not significantly affect survival rate, feed conversion ratio (FCR), protein efficiency ratio (PER) or protein retention efficiency (PR%) of white shrimp. However, growth performance (final body weight, FBW; weight gain, WG; specific growth rate, SGR) was reduced when dietary fishmeal level was reduced from 260 g/kg (D1) to 100 g/kg without methionine supplementation (D2). The growth performance (FBW, WG and SGR) of shrimp was significantly increased by supplementation of the 100 g/kg fishmeal diet with increasing levels of DL‐Met (p < .05). Same performance as positive control (D1) was achieved with diets containing 100 g/kg fishmeal and supplemented with 3.0 g/kg DL‐Met or 1.0 g/kg Met‐Met. The highest values of growth performance (FBW, WG and SGR) were found in shrimp fed D6 and D7 diets, which were significantly higher than those of shrimp fed D2 and D3 diets (p < .05) but without statistical differences with shrimp fed D1, D4 and D5 diets (p > .05). The highest values of whole‐body and muscle protein contents were found in shrimp fed D1 diet, which were significantly higher than those of shrimp fed all other diets (p < .05). The highest value of intestinal tract proteolytic enzyme activity was found in shrimp fed Met‐Met‐supplemented diet (D7) and followed by the positive control diet (D1) and 3 g/kg DL‐Met‐supplemented diet (D6) (p < .05). The highest values of apparent digestibility coefficients (ADCs) of dry matter and crude protein were found in Met‐Met‐supplemented diet (D7) and followed by the positive control diet (D1) (p < .05). Shrimp fed the D1 diet showed the highest value of total essential amino acid (EAA) and was significantly higher than shrimp fed D2–D3 (p < .05) but without significant difference with shrimp fed D4–D7 (p > .05). In conclusion, results showed that same performance can be achieved with diets containing 260 or 100 g/kg fishmeal supplemented with 3.0 g/kg DL‐Met or 1.0 g/kg Met‐Met. Moreover, supplementation of limiting methionine in low‐fishmeal diets seems to improve the digestive proteolytic activity, improving digestibility of dry matter and protein, and eventually to promote growth of juvenile white shrimp in fishmeal reduction diets.

Evaluation of a novel bacterial biomass as a substitution for soybean meal in plant‐based practical diets for Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei

Three growth trials and a digestibility trial were designed to evaluate the efficacy of a novel bacterial biomass (BB) in commercial‐type feed formulation for Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei. In trial 1, the basal diet was supplemented with 0, 60 and 120 g/kg BB to replace soybean meal (SBM). Significant improvement was observed in the survival when BB was incorporated in the diets. However, shrimp fed diets containing 120 g/kg BB exhibited significantly lower weight gain (WG) and higher feed conversion ratio (FCR). To confirm the results from trial 1 and explore the effects of BB supplementation at low levels, the basal diet was incorporated with 0, 10, 20, 40, 60 and 120 g/kg BB to replace SBM in trial 2. Significant reductions in WG, FCR, lipid content of whole body, protein retention efficiency and most amino acids retention efficiency were detected in shrimp fed with diet containing 120 g/kg BB. Trial 3 was designed to elucidate whether the digestible protein is the cause of reduced growth. No improvements in terms of growth performance and FCR were detected in the treatments balanced for digestible protein. Apparent digestibility coefficients of energy, protein and amino acid (AA) for BB were determined using chromic oxide as an inert marker and the 70:30 replacement technique. The energy, protein and individual amino acid digestibility coefficients of BB were significantly lower than those of fish meal (FM) and SBM that were given at the same time. Results of this study indicated that BB can be utilized up to 40 g/kg in shrimp feed without causing a decrease in growth. However, supplementations (≥60 g/kg) of BB can result in negative effects on growth response, FCR and protein as well as amino acids retention efficiency. At the lower levels of inclusion, shrimp performance was improved when BB was supplemented on a digestibility basis; however, at the higher level of inclusion, there was no improvement, indicating there may be other nutrients limiting. Based on enhanced survival in the treatment with BB supplementation in trial 1, further research regarding the immune effects of BB in practical shrimp feed will be necessary.
