Collection,Analysis, and Utilization of Biogas from Anaerobic Treatment of Crab Processing Waters

Abstract

Two laboratory-scale, upflow anaerobic reactors were constructed to treat blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) cooking wastewater for determination of the volume and composition of the resulting bio-gas. Both systems (A and B) consisted of two 4-liter (L) upflow anaerobic reactors and one 8-L aerobic reactor in series. The first anaerobic reactor of System A contained 240,12.7 mm foam cubes, while the first anaerobic reactor of System B contained 180 foam pieces (25.4 ×25.4 ×12.7 mm). Biogas production rates for System A ranged from 6.6 L gas/L feed to 10.0 L gas/L feed. Mean values for System B ranged from 7.1 L gas/L feed to 11.9 L gas/L feed. Methane and carbon dioxide comprised 68% and 28%, respectively, of the gas from both systems. Hydrogen sulfide averaged 1.5% and 1.4% for systems A and B, respectively. A pilot-scale biogas collection and utilization system was also constructed and successfully demonstrated. Details of the pilot-scale system design are provided in the paper to help processors better understand how the technology might be applied.

动物营养研究中有关消化与代谢概念的辨正

消化试验与代谢试验是动物营养研究中最常应用的方法,两种方法的原理和试验步骤都源自营养物质(与能量)在动物消化道与体组织内的转化过程。但近年国内一些研究报道(特别是禽方面)中,忽略了被吸收的有机养分分别汇集入碳代谢池与氮代谢池的事实,误认为能测出消化率的养分也能被测定代谢(利用)率。文章就此进行了讨论,以便有助于辨别有关研究中的正误,提高其科学性。     

藏猪对饲粮纤维的消化及其与肠道微生物的相关性研究

旨在研究藏猪对饲粮纤维素和半纤维素的消化及其与粪便细菌的相关性,探索藏猪具备较强纤维降解能力的潜在因素。采用消化试验测定150 d放牧藏猪、舍饲藏猪和商品猪（杜×长×大猪,DLY猪）对饲粮纤维的表观消化率。采集粪便样品利用单分子实时测序技术,测定粪便细菌16S rRNA基因全长序列,分析粪便细菌群落的结构和多样性,采用Spearman相关分析获取饲粮纤维表观消化率与粪便中细菌群落的相关性。结果表明,放牧藏猪对饲粮纤维素和半纤维素的表观消化率显著高于舍饲藏猪与DLY猪（P<0.05）。在放牧藏猪、舍饲藏猪与DLY猪粪便细菌中共鉴定出15个门、26个纲、48个目、87个科、190个属、419个种。放牧藏猪粪便细菌中有1个门纤维杆菌门（Fibrobacteres）、3个属拟普雷沃菌属（Alloprevotella）、纤维杆菌属（Fibrobacter）与琥珀酸弧菌属（Succinivibrio）、3个种（Alloprevotella rava、Fibrobacter intestinalis、Succinivibrio dextrinosolvens）相对丰度显著高于舍饲藏猪与DLY猪（P<0.05）,并与饲粮纤维表观消化率呈显著正相关（P<0.05）。综上所述,放牧藏猪具备较强的纤维消化能力,这种能力与粪便中的纤维降解菌密切相关。

饲料中维生素K3含量对大口黑鲈消化能力、血清代谢指标、肌肉氨基酸和脂肪酸组成的影响

为研究饲料中维生素K₃含量对大口黑鲈消化能力、血清代谢指标、肌肉氨基酸和脂肪酸组成的影响,在基础饲料中分别添加不同水平的维生素K₃,配制成维生素K₃含量分别为0.78(K0组)、5.80(K5组)、10.82(K10组)、15.84(K15组)和20.85 mg/kg(K20组)的5种试验饲料,对初均重为(12.96±0.07)g健康大口黑鲈幼鱼进行为期8周的饲养试验。结果表明:添加维生素K₃的各组胃和肠道的蛋白酶、淀粉酶和脂肪酶活性均显著低于K0组(P<0.05)。K10组、K15组和K20组的表观消化率和蛋白质表观消化率显著低于K0组(P<0.05)。K20组的血清尿素氮含量显著高于其他4组(P<0.05),血清总蛋白、白蛋白、总胆固醇和甘油三酯含量在各组之间无显著差异(P>0.05)。肌肉必需氨基酸、非必需氨基酸和总氨基酸含量以及必需氨基酸指数在各组之间无显著差异(P>0.05),但是随着饲料中维生素K₃含量的增加,必需氨基酸和总氨基酸含量呈增加的趋势。K15组的肌肉单不饱和脂肪酸含量显著高于其他4组(P<0.05),其中C16∶1n7和C18∶1n5含量均较其他组显著升高(P<0.05)。肌肉饱和脂肪酸和多不饱和脂肪酸含量在各组之间无显著差异(P>0.05)。综上可知,饲料中添加维生素K₃可以改善大口黑鲈肌肉氨基酸组成,但当饲料中维生素K₃含量≥5.80 mg/kg时会使大口黑鲈的消化能力下降,并且高剂量的维生素K₃会改变大口黑鲈的蛋白质和脂质代谢。

本试验旨在从竹鼠肠道中分离厌氧纤维素降解菌并鉴定。取中华竹鼠盲肠内容物稀释,采用含2种不同纤维素[微晶纤维素(MCC)和羧甲基纤维素钠(CMC-Na)]的培养基在厌氧条件下对纤维素降解菌进行初筛,后又经以纤维二糖为唯一碳源的培养基的多次复筛,选出的菌株进行经形态学和分子生物学的鉴定。结果表明:经过初筛和复筛,筛选出了2株厌氧纤维素降解菌。初筛培养基采用MCC和CMC-Na最终筛选出的2株纤维素降解菌的纤维素酶活力分别为6.599和5.268U/m L。菌株经PCR鉴定、测序,用所得序列构建系统发育树,得出这2株菌与酪酸梭状芽孢杆菌(Clostridium butyricum)具有很高的同源性,达99%,二者均属于梭菌属(Clostridium)。本试验从竹鼠盲肠中成功筛选出2株纤维素降解菌,经鉴定确定属于梭菌属。     

Effect of feeding different levels of wheat roti on nutrient utilization and blood metabolite profile in semi‐captive Asian elephants (Elephas maximus)

This experiment was conducted to study the effect of different levels of wheat roti (WR) on nutrient utilization and blood metabolites in Asian elephants fed roughages ad libitum. Nine (3 M, 6 F) Asian elephants (14–52 years of age, 1909–3968 kg BW) were used in an experiment based on replicated Latin square design. Animals in each group (n = 3) were assigned to one of the three dietary treatments in a manner that animals in all the three groups were exposed to all the three treatments in three different periods. Each feeding trial comprised 30 days (25 days of adaptation and 5 days collection period). The amount of WR fed to the elephants was 0.18, 0.12 and 0.06% of BW in groups I, II and III, respectively. They were allowed to forage in the nearby forests for 6 h/day and to bathe for 2 h/day. The animals had ad libitum access to cut Rohini (Mallotus philippensis) trees in their night shelter. Intake and apparent digestibility of dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), gross energy (GE), Ca, P, Fe, Cu and Zn were measured. Feed consumption was not significantly different among the groups. Significant (p < 0.01) decrease in digestibility of DM and GE and blood glucose concentration was observed with decreased level of WR in the diet. Feeding of WR at 0.06% of BW supplied adequate amount of DE, CP, Ca, P, Fe, Cu and Zn to meet requirement for adult maintenance. Feeding of WR in excess of 0.06% of BW supplied DE in excess of requirement, increased blood glucose concentration which may cause obesity and other associated health problems. It was concluded that the amount of WR should be restricted to 0.06% of BW in the diet of captive Asian elephants.     

Study on Nutritional Characteristics of Cottonseed Hull as a Feed of Sheep

In this paper through digestive and metabolic experiments studied the voluntary intake and apparent digestibility of cottonseed hulls (kernel-contained CH,kernel-free CH) and cornstalk on sheep to evaluate the nutrition value and digestion characteristics of cottonseed hulls.12 of adult Xinjiang merino rams were selected and divided into two groups (n=6 each group),and on the basis of 300 g/(head·day) of mixed concentrate,fed with kernel-free CH by 400 (group 1) or 800 (group 2) g/(head·day) respectively,to estimate the digestibility of CH by difference method;As well,another 18 of adult Xinjiang merino rams were selected and divided into three groups (n=6 each group),and on the basis of 300 g/(head·day) of mixed concentrate,cafeteria feeding with kernel-contained CH (group 3),kernel-free CH (group 4) or ground cornstalks (group 5) respectively,to study the effects of three diets on the voluntary intake,digestion and metabolism of sheep.The results showed that the apparent digestibility of the DM,OM,CP,cellulose,hemicellulose and energy of kernel-free CH by sheep were 46.71%,47.37%,-53.40%,66.60%,62.48% and 42.59%,respectively.There were no significant differences in the intake of DM,OM,cellulose,hemicellulose,energy and Ca between kernel-contained CH and kernel-free CH groups (P> 0.05);Intake of CP and P in kernel-contained CH group were extremely significantly higher than that in kernel-free CH group (P< 0.01);Intake of lignin in kernel-contained CH group was extremely significantly lower than that in kernel-free CH group (P< 0.01).There were no significant differences in the apparent digestibility of DM,OM and energy between kernel-contained CH and kernel-free CH groups (P> 0.05).The apparent digestibility of cellulose and hemicellulose in kernel-free CH group were significantly and extremely significantly higher than that in kernel-contained CH group (P< 0.05;P< 0.01),respectively.The apparent digestibility of CP in kernel-contained CH group was extremely significantly higher than that in kernel-free CH group (P< 0.01).The apparent digestibility of DM,OM,CP,cellulose and energy in ground cornstalks group were extremely significantly higher than that in kernel-contained CH and kernel-free CH groups (P< 0.01),however,the apparent digestibility of Ca and P were lower than that in kernel-contained CH and kernel-free CH groups (P> 0.05).Intake and retention of nitrogen in kernel-contained CH group were extremely significantly higher than that in kernel-free CH group (P< 0.01);The was no significant difference in the retention of nitrogen between kernel-free diet group and cornstalk diet group (P> 0.05).It was concluded that CH was a kind of special forage with larger intake,higher digestibility on the fiber substances and energy,but with a serious obstruction on protein digestion;The nutritional value between kernel-free diet and cornstalk diet was almost equal,and with lower nitrogen digestibility on kernel-free diet.
