牛至油和肉桂醛添加组合对奶牛瘤胃微生物蛋白产量与养分消化率的影响

本试验旨在研究牛至油(Oo)与肉桂醛(CA)的不同添加组合对奶牛瘤胃微生物蛋白产量与养分消化率的影响。选取年龄、体重、胎次、产奶量、乳成分相近及泌乳期为(90±15)d的荷斯坦奶牛40头,随机分为10个组,每组4头。对照组(C)饲喂基础日粮,试验组饲喂不同添加水平的Oo和CA,Oo 3个梯度分别为11.5(L)、13(M)、14.5(H)g/(d·头);CA 3个梯度分别为15(L)、18(M)、21(H)g/(d·头),共组成9个不同的添加量组合,分别为LL、ML、HL、LM、MM、HM、LH、MH、HH(第1个字母为Oo添加水平,第2个字母为CA添加水平)。预试期15 d,正试期60 d。结果表明:试验组奶牛的瘤胃微生物蛋白(MCP)产量均有提高趋势,其中LH组效果最好,瘤胃MCP产量比C组提高了12.82%(P<0.05);试验组奶牛在养分表观消化率方面有提高趋势,其中以LH组最优,干物质与粗蛋白质的消化率高于C组(P<0.05),中性洗涤纤维与酸性洗涤纤维的消化率高于C组(P<0.01)。本试验条件下,综合考虑瘤胃MCP产量以及各主要养分的表观消化率,以添加Oo 11.5 g/(d·头)、CA 21 g/(d·头)为最佳。     

Latex proteins from the plant Calotropis procera are partially digested upon in vitro enzymatic action and are not immunologically detected in fecal material

Soluble proteins from the latex of Calotropis procera (LP) were investigated in vitro and in vivo for digestibility as the latex has previously been shown to produce considerable toxic effects on animals. The latex is also an important biologically active compound that displays antiinflammatory and antidiarrhea properties. The proteins were digested by the action of trypsin, pepsin or chemotrypsin as revealed by gel filtration and SDS-PAGE analysis. Furthermore, the full LP digestion was easily achieved by protease treatment. Rabbit polyclonal antibodies raised against LP failed to detect cross-reactive molecules in fecal material of experimental rats following 35 consecutive days of LP consumption in water. Similar patterns of electrophoresis were observed for the negligible amounts of protein observed in the fecal extracts of control and test animals. No death or toxic effects were observed among animals. Taken together these results suggest that harmful and toxic effects on animals of the latex from C. procera are present in its rubber and low molecular weight fractions rather than its protein content.     

Dry Matter Intake and Apparent Digestibility of Nutrients in the Ration of Mangalarga Marchador Weanling Horses Fed Sorghum Silage Versus Grass Hay

In central Brazil, there are two well-defined climatic periods, the rain and the dry season, the latter being marked by massive forage shortages in pastures. In this context, forage conservation such as making hay and silage for herbivores is imperative during the dry season. Grass hay is most commonly used for horses, but sorghum silage is often used for ruminants. The objective was to compare the nutrient digestibility, fecal production, and dry matter intake (DMI) of sorghum silage (Sorghum bicolor l. Moench CV. BRS 655) to that of vaquero hay (Cynodon CV. 90160 CD × CV. Mirage). Twelve Mangalarga Marchador fillies (8 months of age) were divided into two groups: S (sorghum silage, n = 6) and F (vaquero hay, n = 6). The ration was formulated to supply 3.0% body weight in dry matter (DM) per day, with a forage:concentrate ratio of 50:50 on a DM basis. The concentrate used was a corn-based ration formulated to meet or exceed requirements for growth when fed at 1.5% body weight DM to young horses. The animals were housed in individual stalls (3 × 3m) for a period of 25 days, with 21 days for adaptation, followed by 4 days of total collection of feces. During the collection period, an external marker of digestibility, Purified and Enriched Lignin (LIPE), was added to the concentrate as an external marker to determine the apparent digestibility coefficients of DM, crude protein, gross energy, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, hemicelluloses, and cellulose. The forage DMI was calculated by subtracting the quantity supplied at each meal minus the amount of forage that was not eaten by the next meal (orts). The measures of digestibility of the sorghum silage were not different (P > .05) from that of vaquero hay. However, DMI of the sorghum silage was lower (P < .05) than the vaquero hay and may be of concern if fed for prolonged periods of time and not supplemented with carefully balanced concentrates. Purified and Enriched Lignin can be used as a marker for evaluation of digestibility of nutrients in weanling horses.     

棕仁粕基础营养分析及其在尼罗罗非鱼养殖中的应用研究

本文对比研究了棕仁粕、豆柏、花生粕的基础营养及体外胃蛋白酶消化性,通过在实验饲料中添加2％、6％、10％的棕仁粕制备了四份等氮等能的饲料,初步评价了添加棕仁粕对罗非鱼生长、体组分以及血清学参数的影响.结果表明:棕仁柏作为蛋白水平相对略低,纤维含量较高的植物蛋白替代源,其体外胃蛋白酶消化率与豆粕和花生粕无明显差异,可以作为膳食饲料组分适量的添加到水产动物饲料中,而不会影响罗非鱼的正常生长；在罗非鱼养殖实验中,添加2％棕仁粕的饲料组,罗非鱼的增重率,饲料系数,蛋白利用率、鱼体的蛋白组分以及血清学参数与对照组相比无显著差异(P＞0.05),添加至6％～10％后,罗飞鱼的生长表现开始下降,饲料系数开始上升,鱼体蛋白组分下降(P＜0.05).作为棕仁粕在水产养殖领域的初步探索性应用研究,研究认为棕仁粕是可以用于水产饲料的成分使用的,添加比例不宜超过6％.     

Changes in the properties of rice varieties with different amylose content on dry heat parboiling

Dry heat parboiling is a unique paddy processing technique that has been scarcely exploited. Dry heat parboiling at high temperature for short time and low temperature for long time on physical and physicochemical properties of three rice varieties differing in amylose content were studied. Hardness of the kernels increased from 66.4 N, 68.8 N and 59.8 N in raw samples to 89.1 N, 86.9 N and 59.8 N in parboiled high amylose, low amylose and waxy rice samples respectively. Rapid migration and evaporation of water from severely heated kernels caused cavity formation at the centre. Irreversible damage of amylopectin structures to leachable fractions caused continuous rise of the pasting curve. Crystallinity was thereby reduced. Parboiled high amylose samples gave X-ray diffraction patterns with peaks characteristic of A, B and V-type starch crystallinity. Crystalline starch-lipid complexes were observed in low amylose and waxy rices. The significant increase in the amount of rapidly digestible starch from 56.7%, 61.7% and 66.6% in raw samples to 92.1%, 90.8% and 94.8% respectively in severely processed rice samples and subsequent reduction in resistant starch from 24.5%, 21.2% and 18.4% to 0.4%, 1.9% and 0.1% indicated possibilities for targeted food use of the dry heat parboiled samples.

Effect of suppressing the synthesis of different kafirin sub-classes on grain endosperm texture, protein body structure and protein nutritional quality in improved sorghum lines

To improve sorghum grain protein nutritional quality, improved sorghum lines were transformed to suppress the synthesis of different kafirin sub-classes, or backcrossed into transgenic lines with improved protein quality. Co-suppression of the alpha-, gamma- and delta-kafirin sub-classes and removal of the tannin trait resulted in transgenic sorghum lines with high cooked protein digestibility (±80%), improved Amino Acid Score (0.8) and Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (0.7) compared to the non-transgenic null controls (±50%, 0.4 and 0.2, respectively). These high protein quality lines had a floury endosperm. They also had modified protein body structure, where the protein bodies were irregular shaped with few to numerous invaginations and were less densely packed, with a dense protein matrix visible around the protein bodies. When fewer sub-classes were suppressed, i.e. gamma 1 and delta 2, the endosperm was corneous with normal protein body structure but the improvement in cooked protein digestibility appeared to be less. Apparently, co-suppression of several kafirin sub-classes is required to obtain high protein nutritional quality sorghum lines, but this seems to result in floury-type grain endosperm texture.     

绵羊对4种蛋白饲料日粮营养物质消化动态变化的比较

试验采用3头35 kg左右的美利奴绵羊研究不同蛋白饲料日粮对绵羊营养物质消化的影响。为自身对照试验设计,整个试验分4期进行,每期3头羊饲喂同一种蛋白饲料日粮。4种蛋白来源分别为棉籽粕、大豆粕、葵粕和菜籽粕。试验结果表明:绵羊采食蛋白来源为棉籽粕的日粮时,干物质、有机物和氮采食量最高,而菜籽粕采食量最低。饲喂棉籽粕日粮,干物质、有机物和纤维素十二指肠流量显著高于大豆粕日粮和菜籽粕日粮(P<0.05)。大豆粕日粮粗蛋白在前胃的消失率最高为33%,其余3组日粮粗蛋白前胃的降解率为16%~20%。到达小肠的菌体蛋白(MCP)量各组间无差异,而到达小肠过瘤胃饲料蛋白的量(率)棉籽粕组显著高于葵粕组、菜籽粕组、大豆粕组。大豆粕组粗蛋白在小肠的表观消化率最低为48%,其余3组日粮粗蛋白小肠表观降解率均为66%。     

Effects of selenium yeast on rumen fermentation, lactation performance and feed digestibilities in lactating dairy cows

The objective was to evaluate the effects of selenium-yeast (SY) supplementation on rumen fermentation, lactation performance and feed digestibilities in dairy cows. Twenty-eight multiparous (2.5 ± 0.3 parity) Holstein dairy cows, averaging 625 ± 18.2 kg of BW, 63 ± 3.0 days in milk and average daily milk production of 26.2 ± 0.5 kg/cow were used in a replicated 4 × 4 Latin square experiment. Treatments were: control, LSY, MSY and HSY with 0, 150, 300 and 450 mg selenium yeast (Sel-Plex®, 1 g/kg selenium, produced from Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-3060) per kg of diet dry matter (DM), respectively. Experimental periods were 45 days with 30 days of adaptation and 15 days of sampling. Ruminal pH was lower for MSY than for control and was linearly (P = 0.03) decreased, whereas total VFA concentration was linearly and quadratically (P ≤ 0.01) increased with increasing SY supplementation, with the least for control, followed by LSY and HSY, and the highest for MSY. Ratio of acetate to propionate was lower for LSY, MSY and HSY than for control, and was linearly and quadratically (P ≤ 0.01) decreased as SY supplementation increased due to an increase in molar proportion of propionate. Ruminal ammonia N content was lower (P ≤ 0.01) for MSY and HSY than for control and was linearly decreased (P ≤ 0.01) with increasing SY supplementation. Dry matter intake, proportions and yields of milk fat, protein and lactose were not affected (P > 0.05). Milk yields and 4% FCM were higher (P ≤ 0.05) for LSY and MSY than for HSY and control. Milk selenium content was linearly and quadratically (P ≤ 0.01) increased as increasing SY supplementation, with the least for control, followed by LSY and MSY, and the highest for HSY. Digestibilities of DM, organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), aNDF and ADF in the total tract were higher (P < 0.01) for LSY and MSY than for control and HSY. The results indicate that supplementation of diet with SY improved rumen fermentation, milk yields, milk selenium, and feed digestion. It was suggested that the SY stimulated the digestive microorganisms or enzymes in a dose-dependent manner. In the experimental conditions of this trial, the optimum selenium-yeast dose was about 300 mg per kg diet DM.
