Effects of glycinin on growth performance,immunity and antioxidant capacity in juvenile golden crucian carp,Cyprinus carpio × Carassius auratus

This study was designed to examine the effects of glycinin on growth, digestive ability, immune responses, antioxidant capacity and gene expression levels of golden crucian carp. Golden crucian carp were fed diets containing glycinin at 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 g/kg, respectively, for 8 weeks. Body weight, weight gain percentage, specific growth rate and feed efficiency ratio were negatively related to the content of glycinin in diet. Activities of protease, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, lysozyme in hepatopancreas, and activities of catalase, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, and total antioxidant capacity in the proximal intestine, mid intestine, distal intestine and hepatopancreas were negatively related to the content of glycinin in diet, whereas malondialdehyde in proximal intestine, mid intestine, distal intestine and hepatopancreas increased directly with the content of glycinin in diet. Furthermore, the relative expressions of TNF‐α and IL‐1β in proximal intestine, mid intestine and distal intestine increased directly with the content of glycinin in diet, whereas the relative expressions of TNF‐α and IL‐1β in hepatopancreas were negatively related to the content of glycinin in diets. The relative expressions of IL‐10 in proximal intestine, mid intestine, distal intestine and hepatopancreas all were negatively related to the content of glycinin in diets. In conclusion, reductions in growth, immunity and antioxidant capacity, intestine inflammation with dysfunction of digestive system occurred in golden crucian carp that fed a diet containing glycinin at 30 g/kg or higher after 8 weeks.     

Evaluation of Agave lechuguilla by‐product crude extract as a feed additive for juvenile shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei

Agave lechuguilla is a succulent plant species, mainly distributed in the northeast of Mexico and south of the United States of America. The main use for this plant is the fibre´s extraction (known as Tampico fibres), resulting in 15% of fibres and 85% of a by‐product waste named guishe. The lechuguilla collectors, normally incinerate the guishe, thus causing environmental contamination. Interestingly, recent studies showed that guishe contains molecules with nutritional properties, such as saponins, flavonoids and sugars. Therefore, in this work, we evaluated the effect of the crude extract of guishe as a feed additive in whiteleg shrimp diets. According to that, MS‐HPLC analysis of the extract showed the presence of saponins such as diosgenin, smilagenin, hecogenin, manogenin, tigogenin hexose, yucagenin, chlorogenin, diosgenin diglucoside and the flavonol, quercetin. After chemical analysis, the crude extract was included into an experimental diet in four levels; 0% (L0%), 0.1% (L0.1%), 0.3% (L0.3%) and 0.6% (L0.6%). Dietary incorporation of the extract was evaluated by zootechnical performance, haemolymph biochemistry, histomorphology and digestive enzyme activity of shrimps. After 5‐week feeding, the L0.3% diet showed significantly higher growth and better feed utilization among treatments. A significant increase in tubule epithelium height and tubule coverage area from hepatopancreas in shrimp under L0.3% diet compared with the control diet suggest an improvement of the health and nutritional status of the shrimp. Inclusion of L0.3% and L0.6% of the crude extract resulted in a reduction in amylase activity, without effect in glucose levels in the haemolymph. Thus, we suggest that lechuguilla guishe crude extract contains nutritional molecules that may be used as a feed additive to promote shrimp productivity.

冬闲地种草养鹅模式下不同鹅品种生长性能、屠宰性能、肉品质的比较

为比较冬闲地种草养鹅模式下不同鹅品种的生长发育、屠宰性能和肉品质,以28日龄四川白鹅、浙东白鹅、扬州鹅和霍尔多巴吉鹅为研究对象,采取全程草地放牧加补饲方式,每组3个重复,每个重复10只,于70日龄开展屠宰测定和肉品质测定。结果显示:①在整个生长发育期间,四个品种鹅在生长发育前期增重较大,后期趋于缓慢。在生长发育前期(28~49日龄),扬州鹅的周增重均不同程度地高于四川白鹅和浙东白鹅,但在36~42日龄时扬州鹅的体增重低于霍尔多巴吉鹅;在生长发育后期(50~70日龄),扬州鹅的体增重均高于其他三个品种鹅。②扬州鹅的屠宰率高于其他三个品种的鹅;扬州鹅的腹脂率为1.39%,显著低于其他三个品种鹅。③扬州鹅不同部位肌肉中水分含量最低,胶原含量最高;扬州鹅的胸肌中蛋白质含量显著高于其他三个品种鹅。综上所述,扬州鹅可作为种草养鹅的理想品种,研究结果为种草养鹅模式下适宜品种的选择提供了理论依据。     

秸秆还田与化肥减施对水稻生长指标及光合参数的影响

针对水稻生产中存在秸秆处理不当以及化肥用量增多等问题,以山东省济宁市稻麦轮作体系下水稻“圣稻18号”为研究对象,通过田间试验设置3个处理:常规施肥,小麦秸秆不还田(CK);常规施肥+小麦秸秆全量还田(T1);常规施肥量的85%+小麦秸秆全量还田(T2),深入探究秸秆还田与化肥减施对不同生育期水稻生长、光合参数和产量的影响,为制定合理的水稻种植措施提供理论依据。结果表明,稻麦轮作体系下秸秆还田不利水稻前期生长,但能显著提高水稻生长中、后期的生长指标,并增强水稻生长中、后期对氮、磷、钾等养分的吸收。水稻生长中后期T2处理的叶绿素含量、净光合速率以及光谱反射率均为最高,其中灌浆期SPAD值与净光合速率分别较CK处理升高4.4%和37.5%;另外,T2处理生长后期的Fv/Fm、PIabs均较前期所升高。试验还表明,T2处理水稻产量最高,比CK处理增产13.1%,增产的直接原因是单位面积有效穗数的增加。综上所述,秸秆还田配合化肥减施有助于水稻栽培生产中实现高产增效,在实际生产中值得推广应用。

果实生长期用MeJA处理对‘红贵妃’芒果货架品质的影响

我国芒果产区因缺乏采后处理条件，致使芒果在货架期品质劣变严重。本文研究了在果实生长期喷施茉莉酸甲酯（MeJA）对‘红贵妃’芒果采后品质的影响。结果表明：与对照相比，5 mg/L的MeJA处理显著降低了芒果货架期的病情指数和发病率、延缓了果皮转黄、提高了果肉的TSS和Vc含量、降低了TA含量，使芒果在货架期保持较好的外观和营养品质。同时，MeJA处理抑制了采后炭疽病的发生，在货架前期降低了CAT和POD活性，提高了总酚、总黄酮、H2O2含量，在货架后期提高了CAT和POD活性，降低了H2O2含量。本研究表明，生长期MeJA处理使芒果保持较好货架期品质与其增强果实在货架期的抗病性有关。     

Effects of dissolved oxygen on the growth performance,haematological parameters,antioxidant responses and apoptosis of juvenile GIFT (Oreochromis niloticus)

This study investigated the effects of different dissolved oxygen (DO) levels on the growth performance, antioxidant response and apoptosis of juvenile GIFT (genetically improved farmed tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus). GIFT were fed with five DO levels (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 mg/L) for 60 days, and the results showed that the final body weight, weight gain rate, specific growth rate and crude protein and crude lipid contents of the fish muscle increased at 5 mg/L DO. The activities of the antioxidant and digestive enzymes were significantly up‐regulated with increasing DO levels. However, the haemoglobin content, number of red blood cells, malondialdehyde content, transaminase activities, glucose content and lactic acid levels decreased at higher DO levels. Furthermore, the cardiomyocyte apoptotic index was significantly decreased with increasing DO levels. Our results show that 5 mg/L DO improved growth performance, promoted antioxidant enzyme activities and reduced liver damage in GIFT.
