Re-evaluation of total sulphur amino acid requirement and determination of replacement value of cystine for methionine in semi-purified diets of juvenile Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus

Two feeding experiments were conducted to re-evaluate the total sulphur amino acid (TSAA; methionine and cystine) requirement and determine the replacement value of cystine for methionine of juvenile Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ). Semi-purified diets used in both experiments contained 3510 kcal gross energy and 280 g of protein per kilogram diet from casein, gelatin and crystalline amino acids. The basal diet of the first experiment contained 3.1 g methionine and 0.4 g cystine per kilogram. l -methionine was added to the seven remaining diets at 1.0 g kg⁻¹ increment to produce methionine levels ranging from 3.1 to 10.1 g kg⁻¹ diet. Each diet was fed to four replicate groups of juvenile Nile tilapia (1.28 g mean weight) in a recirculation system for 8 weeks. Broken-line regression analysis of weight gain data indicated that the TSAA requirement of juvenile Nile tilapia was 8.5 g kg⁻¹ of the diet or 30.4 g kg⁻¹ of dietary protein. In the second experiment, TSAA level was set at 95% of the requirement value determined in the first experiment. Seven diets were made with different ratios of l -methionine and l -cystine (20 : 80, 30 : 70, 40 : 60, 50 : 50, 60 : 40, 70 : 30 and 80 : 20, based on an equimolar sulphur basis). Each diet was also fed to four replicate groups of juvenile Nile tilapia (4.14 g mean weight) in a recirculation system for 8 weeks. Regression analysis of weight gain data using broken-line model indicated that cystine (on a molar sulphur basis) could replace up to 49% of methionine requirement in semi-purified diets for juvenile Nile tilapia.

选用4头安装永久瘤胃瘘管的西门塔尔阉牛(体重为420kg、年龄2.5岁),采用4×4拉丁方设计,以混合精料和风干玉米秸秆作为基础日粮,研究1.3倍维持需要水平下,日粮添加不同水平蛋氨酸硒(0、0.3、0.6、0.9mg/kg,以干物质为基础)对营养物质代谢的影响。结果表明:0.3和0.6mg/kg组日粮OM、CP、EE、NFE、NDF、ADF表观消化率显著高于对照组(P<0.05);0.6和0.9mg/kg组DN、RN和RN/DN显著高于对照组(P<0.05);0.6mg/kg组与对照组相比Se、Ca、P、Cu、Fe、Mn的存留率显著提高,Zn、Mo和S的存留率无显著差异;0.6mg/kg组血清TG、GLU、ALB、TP、ALT、AST、SOD、GSH-px、GSH均显著高于对照组(P<0.05);0.6mg/kg组血清Se、Cu含量显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。     

The effect of genotype,choice feeding,and season on organically reared broilers fed diets devoid of synthetic methionine

In response to the impending ban on synthetic methionine in organic poultry diets, researchers have focused on finding alternative strategies to supply this amino acid. The objectives of this study were to assess performance and carcass characteristics of broilers fed diets devoid of synthetic methionine by using 1) a slow-growing and a fast-growing genotype, 2) choice-feeding management (supplying grain and a complementary premix in 2 separate feeders), and 3) pasture access and seasonal variation. Inclusion of fish meal and high percentages of soybean meal enabled the specific genotype methionine requirement to be met. All diets were certified organic. The experiment was conducted during the grower and finisher phases in 4 different seasons: late fall, spring, summer, and early fall. Pasture access was assessed either by housing broilers on the West Virginia University Organic farm and giving them outdoor access, or by housing broilers on the West Virginia University Animal Sciences farm and giving them no outdoor access. Fast-growing genotypes were superior in performance and carcass characteristics compared with slow-growing genotypes, and choice-feeding management did not improve performance or carcass characteristics. Pasture access tended to have no effect on slow-growing broilers and decreased the performance of fast-growing broilers. Performance was decreased in late fall, likely because of cold ambient temperatures.     

Effects of dietary incorporation of potato protein concentrate and supplementation of methionine on growth and feed utilization of rainbow trout

Four diets (1, 2, 3 and 4) were formulated to contain different potato protein concentrate (PPC) levels (0, 22, 56, and 111 g kg⁻¹). Diet 5 contained 56 g kg⁻¹ PPC and 17 g kg⁻¹ methionine. A growth trial was conducted to investigate the effect on growth and feed utilization of incorporation of PPC and supplementation of methionine in the diet of rainbow trout. When the proportion of PPC exceeded 56 g kg⁻¹ the growth of fish decreased while both growth and feed utilization decreased when the dietary PPC was 111 g kg⁻¹. Protein productive value and condition factor of the fish decreased and mortality increased with the increase in the proportion of dietary PPC.

过瘤胃蛋氨酸对奶牛产奶量、乳成分以及血液氨基酸的影响

选用16头泌乳中期荷斯坦奶牛按拉丁方设计进行试验,研究饲粮中补充0、8、12和16 g.d-1过瘤胃蛋氨酸对奶牛产奶量、乳成分以及血液氨基酸含量的影响。结果表明,与对照组相比,补饲过瘤胃蛋氨酸能够提高奶牛乳蛋白、乳脂率和酪蛋白水平。补饲过瘤胃蛋氨酸对产奶量较高(>22 kg.d-1)的奶牛有增加产奶量的趋势,对产奶量低的奶牛没有积极作用,能提高高产奶牛乳蛋白和乳脂肪量。选用9头泌乳中期荷斯坦奶牛,在补饲过瘤胃蛋氨酸和普通蛋氨酸前后连续采血44 h,探索蛋氨酸的吸收变化曲线,发现奶牛补饲过瘤胃蛋氨酸后12~16 h达到吸收高峰,过瘤胃蛋氨酸能显著提高奶牛血清蛋氨酸水平,而补饲普通蛋氨酸则无明显影响。补饲过瘤胃蛋氨酸和普通蛋氨酸对血清总氨基酸水平均无显著影响。     

Growth,Meat Yield,and Economic Responses of Broilers Provided Three- and Four-Phase Schedules Formulated to Moderate and High Nutrient Density During a Fifty-Six-Day Production Period

This study examined growth responses and meat yield of broilers provided a 3- or 4-phase feeding schedule formulated to moderate or high nutrient density. Four dietary treatments were implemented consisting of high or moderate nutrient density diets that were provided for the duration of 3 phases (1 to 17, 18 to 35, and 36 to 56 d) or 4 phases (1 to 17, 18 to 35, 36 to 46, and 47 to 56 d).Provision of a 3-phase schedule did not alter growth performance, meat yield, or diet cost per final BW. Broilers receiving high nutrient diets had improved growth rate and feed conversion from 1 to 35 d. In the 3-phase schedule, birds given the high nutrient density diets had advantages in BW gain and pectoralis minor breast weight. Market changes in meat prices impact differences in gross feeding margins between diets formulated to high or moderate nutrient density more than variation in diet cost.     

蛋氨酸螯合铁对断奶仔猪生产性能的影响

本试验选用36头35日龄体重7.7kg左右的杜长大三元杂交商品代断奶仔猪,随机分为试验组和对照组,每组18头,公母各半。试验组饲料中添加0.04%的蛋氨酸铁螯合物,对照组饲料中不添加蛋氨酸铁螯合物。经过30d的饲养试验,结果表明:(1)试验组的日增重比对照组多增重77g,提高了25.4%,差异极显著(P<0.01);试验组的平均采食量比对照组增加92g,提高了19.5%;试验组的料重比比对照组降低4.5%。(2)经济效益显著:试验组仔猪增重1Kg获得的毛利润比对照组多0.12元,试验期间每头小猪比对照组多盈利16.87元。     

过瘤胃保护蛋氨酸稳定性及其评定方法的研究

本研究应用双外流连续培养系统和瘤胃尼龙袋法检验动物油包被蛋氨酸在瘤胃中的稳定性。根据动物油添加比例不同(分别添加20%、30%和40%),保护性蛋氨酸分为过瘤胃保护蛋氨酸I(RPMet-I)、过瘤胃保护蛋氨酸II(RPMet-II)和过瘤胃保护蛋氨酸III(RPMet-III)。试验结果表明:与未包被蛋氨酸相比,动物油包被蛋氨酸在瘤胃中的释放率显著降低(P<0.05);动物油添加比例不同对于过瘤胃保护蛋氨酸的稳定性影响显著(P<0.05)。不同形式保护性蛋氨酸在双外流连续培养系统中的降解趋势与在瘤胃中的降解趋势相似,且应用双外流连续培养系统测定各个时间点保护性蛋氨酸的释放率简单、稳定,与瘤胃尼龙袋法相比各个时间点的释放率均存在强相关回归关系(n=5,P<0.01),因此该系统适宜于评定保护性氨基酸的稳定性。
