常用饲草饲料瘤胃降解规律的研究

本文探讨了贵州常用饲草饲料在山羊瘤胃的降解规律,旨在为研究科学配制山羊日粮提供依据。试验选用2只装瘤胃瘘管的山羊,采用瘤胃尼龙袋法研究3类10种常用饲草饲料的干物质（DM）、粗蛋白（CP）、有机物（OM）瘤胃降解率。结果表明：3类饲草饲料的DM降解率由高到低依次为：精饲料（70.75%）﹥单一牧草（68.26%）﹥混合牧草66.59%（P﹤0.05）;单一牧草的CP降解率分别比精饲料和混合牧草高4.5%（P﹤0.05）和6.05%（P﹤0.05）;单一牧草的OM降解率分别比精饲料和混合牧草高1.2%（P﹥0.05）和6.38%（P﹤0.05）。由此可见,不同饲草饲料在瘤胃内的降解规律不同,青绿饲料影响饲草饲料的瘤胃降解率。     

ORIGINAL ARTICLE: Effects of supplementing rice straw with Leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala) and Madras thorn (Pithecellobium dulce) foliages on digestibility,microbial N supply and nitrogen balance of growing goats

A total of 12 crossbred (Boer × Anglo‐Nubian) goats were chosen from a commercial farm on the basis of similar body weight (25.0 ± 3.1 kg). The goats were housed in individual pens and allowed 3 weeks to adapt to experimental conditions. The goats were randomly allocated to three treatments in a 3 × 3 Latin square experiment (replicated four times). Within each period, each goat was given rice straw as roughage plus the respective treatment diet. The diets were iso‐nitrogenous and iso‐energetic containing cassava pulp, molasses, urea and commercial mineral and vitamin mix. The experimental treatments were (i) soybean meal (SBM), (ii) partial substitution of SBM with Leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala) foliage and (iii) partial substitution of SBM with Madras thorn (Pithecellobium dulce) foliage. Nutrient intakes, ruminal characteristics (pH, ammonia nitrogen and volatile fatty acids), nitrogen balances, plasma urea nitrogen and microbial N supply were not significantly different among treatments. The results of this study indicate that protein foliages from locally grown shrubs and trees can substitute imported feedstuff concentrates (e.g. SBM) as protein supplement for goat production.     

干旱季节日粮中添加益生菌和过瘤胃脂肪酸对饲喂玉米青贮料生长山羊平均日增重和瘤胃代谢的影响

本试验目的在于调查添加益生菌、棕榈油过瘤胃脂肪酸(POBF)和益生菌 POBF对饲喂玉米青贮料的生长山羊平均日增重和瘤胃代谢影响.试验选用了27只约5月龄、体重(13.4±1.3)kg杂交生长山羊(Thai native×Anglo-Nubian),根据完全随机因子试验方法分成9组,进行10周饲养试验.POBF包含0、20和40 g/(goat·d)3个水平,益生菌包含0、2.5和5.0 g/(goat·d)3个水平.结果表明:POBF显著地降低日均干物质采食量(DMI)(P<0.05),益生菌提高DMI(P<0.05),20 g/(goat·d)POBF 益生菌[2.5和5.0 g/(goat·d)]不影响DMI(P>0.05).益生菌和益生菌 POBF显著提高平均日增重(ADG)(P<0.05).益生菌极显著地提高DM和OM消化率(P<0.01),POBF 益生菌显著提高DM和OM消化率(P<0.05).POBF、益生菌、POBF 益生菌均提高CP消化率(P>0.05).益生菌和POBF 益生菌显著提高NDF消化率(P<0.05).益生菌、POBF和益生菌 POBF极显著提高挥发性脂肪酸总量(P<0.01)和丙酸百分比例(P<0.05),降低乙酸百分比例(P>0.05).本试验结果证明:益生菌和POBF都能提高饲喂玉米青贮料的生长山羊ADG和瘤胃代谢水平,添加2.5 g/(goat·d)益生菌和20 g/(goat·d)POBF效果较好,同时添加2.5 g/(goat·d)益生菌和20 g/(goat·d)POBF效果最佳.     

添加过瘤胃脂肪酸对早期产奶奶牛生产性能的影响

试验在荷斯坦奶牛泌乳初期(产犊后120 d以内)日粮中添加过瘤胃脂肪酸(New Century)300 g/(d.头)。经56 d饲养试验结果表明,奶牛的干物质采食量和奶产量无明显变化(P>0.05),乳蛋白、乳脂肪、乳糖、无脂固形物和总固形物分别提高6.71%、8.16%、0.22%、1.98%、4.08%;牛奶中C4~C15脂肪酸含量减少,C16以上的脂肪酸含量明显增加,尤以(C183∶n6)、(C20∶3n6)、共轭亚麻油酸(c9,t11)、(t10,c12)增加最明显(P<0.01)。从而认为,在泌乳初期奶牛日粮中添加过瘤胃脂肪酸是保证奶牛能量需要、产奶量和牛奶品质的一项重要措施。     

Effects of Streblus asper Lour foliage on digestibility,rumen fermentation,and nitrogen balance of growing goats

Eighteen crossbred (Thai native x Anglo-Nubian) goats were chosen from a Suranaree University of Technology’s farm on the basis of similar bodyweight (15.5 ± 3.5 kg). The goats were randomly allocated to three treatments in randomized complete block design. Each goat was given urea-treated rice straw as roughage plus the respective treatment diets. The diets were iso-nitrogenous and iso-energetic containing cassava pulp, molasses, urea, and commercial mineral and vitamin mix. The experimental treatments were (1) soybean meal (SBM), (2) partial substitution of SBM with Streblus aspe Lour foliage, or (3) partial substitution of SBM with Leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala) foliage. Nutrient intakes, ruminal characteristics (pH, ammonia nitrogen, and volatile fatty acids), nitrogen balances, and plasma urea nitrogen were not significantly different among treatments. The present results indicate that protein foliages from locally grown shrubs and trees can substitute imported feedstuffs concentrate (e.g., SBM) as protein supplement for goat production.

Comparison of forage yield,silage fermentative quality,anthocyanin stability,antioxidant activity,and in vitro rumen fermentation of anthocyanin-rich purple corn (Zea mays L.) stover and sticky corn stover

The objective of this study was to observe the forage yield, silage fermentative quality, anthocyanin stability, and antioxidant activity during the storage period and in vitro rumen fermentation of anthocyanin-rich purple corn (Zea mays L.) stover (PS) and sticky corn stover (SS). Forage yield of corn stover was weighed and ensiled with two treatments: (1) hybrid sticky waxy corn stover (control), and (2) hybrid purple waxy corn stover (treatment). Samples were stored in mini-silos for periods of 0, 7, 14, 21, 42, 63, 84, and 105 d. The results showed that PS had significantly higher (P<0.05) yields of dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), gross energy (GE), crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), and total anthocyanins than that of the SS. Anthocyanin-rich purple corn stover silage (PSS) showed higher (P<0.05) levels of DM and CP relative to the sticky corn stover silage (SSS). Although anthocyanin-rich PSS displayed a lower (P<0.05) level of pelargonidin-3-glucoside (P3G), it had higher (P<0.05) levels of peonidin (Peo) and pelargonidin (Pel) compared to the control. Delphinidin (Del) and malvidin (Mal) were not detected in SSS during the ensilage period; in PSS, Del was no longer detected after 7 d of ensilage. Specifically, total anthocyanins in anthocyanin-rich PSS decreased rapidly (P<0.05) prior to 7 d of ensilage, and then remained at relatively stable (P>0.05) constants. Compared to the anthocyanin-rich PSS, SSS displayed significantly higher (P<0.05) pH value and ammonia nitrogen (NH₃-N) content. Propionic acid (PA) at 0 d and butyric acid (BA) during the entire study period were not detected, whereas anthocyanin-rich PSS showed a higher (P<0.05) level of lactic acid (LA) than that of the SSS. Compared with the SSS extract, anthocyanin-rich PSS extract showed a higher (P<0.05) level of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity and displayed a lower (P<0.05) half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) value. Moreover, anthocyanin-rich PSS reduced (P<0.05) gas production (GP), and displayed lower levels of immediately soluble fraction and ratio of acetic acid (AA) to PA at 12 h, but the other parameters were unaffected (P>0.05) relative to the control. Taken together, the results indicated that: (1) anthocyanins could be stable in silage; (2) anthocyanin-rich PSS showed better silage fermentative quality and stronger antioxidant activity; and (3) anthocyanin-rich PSS had no negative effect on rumen fermentation parameters.     

The effects of dietary inulin and Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus) tuber on the growth performance,haematological, blood chemical and immune parameters of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fingerlings

This study investigated the effects of dietary inulin or Jerusalem artichoke (JA) on the growth performance, haematological, blood chemical and immune parameters of Nile tilapia fingerlings. Five treatment diets were designed to incorporate inulin at 0 (basal diet), 2.5 and 5.0 g/kg and JA at 5.0 and 10.0 g/kg. Two basal diets including fish meal and formulated experimental feed were used for fry and fingerling growing periods, respectively. During the fry growing period, larvae were fed treatment diets for 4 weeks. There were no significant differences in growth performance or survival rate. Fingerlings were then nursed with the formulated experimental diets from weeks 5 to 12. Fingerlings fed on inulin at 5.0 g/kg or JA at either level had better growth performance and survival rate than that fed on the basal diets. There were no significant differences in body composition. Dietary prebiotic inulin and JA increased red blood cell number (p < .05). Among the five blood chemistry parameters examined, both inulin at 5.0 g kg and JA (5.0 and 10.0 g/kg) increased blood protein (p < .05). Dietary inulin at 5.0 g/kg and JA at 5.0 and 10.0 g/kg increased total immunoglobulin and lysozyme activity (p < .05). Both inulin and JA inclusion diets increased alternative complement activity (p < .05). Taken together, dietary inulin at 5 g/kg and JA at 5.0 and 10.0 g/kg had beneficial effects on the growth performance, survival rate and immune of Nile tilapia fingerlings.
