合成氨基酸对肉鸡肠道功能的改善作用

鸡球虫病、坏死性肠炎等肠道感染可能对消化道内源性氨基酸损失产生较大影响。虽然对这一课题的了解不多，但相关文献报道了这些疾病对氨基酸表观回肠消化率的影响。在确定肠内氨基酸流动时必须考虑多种因素，包括肉鸡的年龄、是否有病原体、肠内氨基酸代谢等。胃肠道和肝脏共同承担向外周血释放氨基酸的任务，这些氨基酸是支持蛋白质合成所必需的。一般来说，肠道是氨基酸代谢反应的一个非常活跃的器官系统，它首先会满足自身对氨基酸的需求，然后才会将氨基酸输送到机体其他部分。因此，本综述旨在讨论影响肠内氨基酸流动的因素及日粮氨基酸和肠道感染对氨基酸利用和代谢的影响。     

GC-MS分析慢性氨气应激对肉鸡血清代谢物的影响

【目的】随着养殖业集约化和规模化的发展,舍内环境对畜禽生长的影响日益突出。在密闭舍饲条件下,不断产生有毒有害气体,其中氨气的危害最大,降低畜禽生产性能,威胁动物健康。为此开展慢性氨气应激对肉鸡血清代谢物影响的研究,从小分子物质和代谢途径方面探究氨气导致机体代谢发生的变化,为舍内氨气的合理调控提供数据支持。【方法】试验采用单因素完全随机设计,将96只21日龄健康AA肉鸡随机分成对照组和试验组,每组设4个重复,每个重复12只鸡。对照组氨气浓度为0 mg·kg ^-1,试验组氨气浓度为45 mg·kg ^-1。试验在人工模拟呼吸舱内进行,呼吸舱采用全自动化控制温湿度等养殖条件,采用网上平养,自由采食和饮水,24h 光照,试验期为21d。在肉鸡42日龄时,从每个重复中随机抽取2只,翅静脉采血,分离血清。将血清样品预处理后,采用气相色谱/质谱联用技术（gas chromatograph tandem mass spectrometer technology, GC-MS）检测代谢产物,利用质谱数据库对其进行鉴定。通过主成分分析、偏最小二乘法判别分析、正交偏最小二乘法判别分析、t-检验等,寻找差异代谢物,并利用生物信息学方法对差异代谢物进行通路富集分析。【结果】（1）利用 GC-MS 方法,结合质谱数据库对检测到的代谢物进行快速鉴定,在肉鸡血清中共检测到204种代谢物。将代谢组数据导入SIMCA-P软件进行多元统计分析,结合t-检验筛选出 23种差异代谢物,其中上调19个,下调4个。（2）差异代谢物主要涉及能量代谢（乳酸、α-酮戊二酸）、氨基酸代谢（L-别苏氨酸、L-高丝氨酸、烟酰甘氨酸）、脂肪酸代谢（硬脂酸、亚麻酸、亚油酸、胆固醇）以及核苷酸代谢（次黄嘌呤、尿嘧啶、胸腺嘧啶）等。（3）代谢通路富集分析表明,氨气应激主要影响了肉鸡血清的脂肪代谢通路,如亚油酸代谢、花生四烯酸代谢以及α-亚麻酸代谢。【结论】GC-MS较为全面地检测到血清的代谢物,能够准确地筛选出差异代谢物,同时慢性氨气应激显著影响肉鸡的血清代谢物含量,主要影响脂肪代谢通路,为阐明氨气应激影响营养代谢的机制提供参考。     

重组GSTA3蛋白对福美双诱导的肉鸡TD中抗凋亡基因BAG-3表达的影响

【目的】肉鸡胫骨软骨发育不良（TD）是肉鸡常见的一种骨骼性疾病,研究重组GSTA3蛋白对福美双诱导的TD肉鸡软骨细胞中抗凋亡基因BAG-3表达的影响,为治疗TD提供新的思路和方法。【方法】将120羽1周龄肉雏鸡随机分为6组（编号为A、B、C、D、E、F组）。A、B、C组为基础日粮对照组,D、E、F组为添加福美双日粮诱导TD组。试验饲喂福美双2 d诱发TD,在添加福美双第1、3、5、7天,腿部肌肉注射重组鸡GSTA3蛋白和磷酸盐缓冲液,A组与D组注射（100 μg·kg ^-1）磷酸盐缓冲液;B组与E组注射低剂量（100 μg·kg ^-1）GSTA3;C组与F组注射高剂量（200 μg·kg ^-1）GSTA3。试验历时23 d。添加福美双后1、2、4、6、10和15 d采集胫骨生长板。通过Real-time qPCR检测BAG-3基因的mRNA水平,利用免疫组化来检测BAG-3蛋白表达水平。【结果】Real-time qPCR结果显示,TD损伤修复期内,相比较于基础日粮对照组,福美双对照组肉鸡胫骨生长板中BAG-3 mRNA的表达水平基本都显著上调（P<0.05）;相比较于福美双对照组,E和F组在第2、4、10、15天都有显著差异,且在第10和15天显著低于福美双对照组（P<0.05）,表明与D组相比恢复较快。免疫组化结果表明BAG-3蛋白在肉鸡胫骨软骨细胞的增殖区和前肥大区无表达,只在肥大区细胞质中表达;福美双组与空白对照组相比,BAG-3蛋白表达增加;福美双高低剂量组与未注射蛋白的福美双组相比,重组GSTA3增加了肥大区的蛋白表达水平（第10和15天）。【结论】在福美双诱导肉鸡发生TD的过程中,GSTA3重组蛋白能够通过调控BAG-3表达参与凋亡途径,抑制细胞凋亡。在TD损伤修复期,注射GSTA3后使抗凋亡基因BAG-3蛋白表达增强,从而可参与细胞凋亡来缓解TD损伤,使得肉鸡TD生长板功能较快地恢复正常。     

Effect of dietary calcium or phosphorus deficiency on bone development and related calcium or phosphorus metabolic utilization parameters of broilers from 22 to 42 days of age

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary calcium (Ca) or phosphorus (P) deficiency on bone development and related Ca or P metabolic utilization parameters of broilers from 22 to 42 days of age based on our previous study, which indicated that dietary Ca or P deficiency impaired the bone development by regulating related Ca or P metabolic utilization parameters of broilers from 1 to 21 days of age. A total of 504 one-day-old Arbor Acres male broilers were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 treatments with 7 replicates in a completely randomized design, and fed the normal control and Ca- or P-deficient diets from 1 to 21 days of age. At 22 days of age, the broilers were further fed the normal control diet (0.90% Ca+0.35% non-phytate P (NPP)), the P-deficient diet (0.90% Ca+0.18% NPP), the Ca-deficient diet (0.30% Ca+0.35% NPP) or the Ca and P-deficient diet (0.30% Ca+0.18% NPP), respectively. The results showed that dietary Ca or P deficiency decreased (P<0.05) tibia bone mineral density (BMD), bone breaking strength (BBS), ash content, tibia ash Ca content and serum P content on days 28 and 42, but increased (P<0.05) tibia alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of broilers on day 42 compared with the control group. Furthermore, the broilers fed the P-deficient diet had the lowest (P<0.05) tibia BMD, BBS, ash content, serum P content and the highest (P<0.05) serum Ca content on day 28 compared with those fed the Ca-deficient or Ca and P-deficient diets. The results from the present study indicated that the bone development and related Ca or P metabolic utilization parameters of broilers were the most sensitive to dietary P deficiency, followed by dietary Ca deficiency or Ca and P-deficiency; dietary Ca or P deficiency impaired the bone development possibly by regulating serum Ca and P contents as well as tibia Ca content and ALP activity of broilers from 22 to 42 days of age.     

Independent and combined effects of Satureja khuzistanica essential oils and acetic acid on prevalence and intensity of fatty liver syndrome in broiler chickens

Two hundred fifty two male Ross 308 broiler chicks were raised to examine the effects of Satureja khuzistanica essential oils (SkEO; 0, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600 mg/bird/day) administrated via oral gavage and dietary supplementation of acetic acid (AA; 0 or 20 g/kg) in a 6 × 2 factorial fashion using a complete randomized block design with seven replicates of three birds each. In Day 34 of age, liver fat percentage decreased by increasing SkEO levels in a quadratic trend (p < .05). Oral gavag of 200 and 300 mg of SkEO decreased AST activity by 16.67% and 16.94%, respectively, compared with the control birds (p < .05). In Day 38 of age, liver percentage was greater by 0.37% in the birds received 400 mg SkEO than those given 500 mg (p < .05). Liver fat percentage decreased in the birds fed the acidified diet and received 300 and 500 mg SkEO as well as in the birds offered 200 and 400 mg of SkEO and fed non-acidified diet than those received acidified diet with no SkEO administration (p < .05). Prevalence of score zero for hepatocytic vacuolations and necrosis was 80.00% and 42.42% in the birds receiving 600 mg SkEO respectively. Median for relative frequency of scores for hepatocytic vacuolations and hepatocytic necrosis was lesser in the birds received SkEO by oral gavage compared with that of control birds (p < .05). In conclusion, administration of SkEO via oral gavage reduced liver fat in broiler chicken but no consistent dosage could be verified as the effective dosage for all ages concerned. The acidified diet per se showed no evident effect on liver fat at all ages considered. The SkEO × AA interaction exhibited promising but unreliable effects on liver colour score in market age (42 days).
