外源纤维素酶对发酵全混合日粮营养价值、发酵品质和酶活性的动态影响

本试验旨在探究外源纤维素酶(EFE)添加到发酵全混合日粮(FTMR)中对其营养价值、发酵品质和酶活性的影响,并找出适宜添加水平。采用完全随机试验设计,设置5个纤维素酶添加水平(0、0.4、0.8、1.6、3.2 g·kg^-1 DM),分别测定底物发酵的第7、14、35、49、70天的概略养分、可溶性碳水化物(WSC)、发酵参数和4种酶活力。结果表明,1)纵向看,随发酵时间的延长,底物的干物质(DM)、中性洗涤纤维(NDF)、酸性洗涤纤维(ADF)和可溶性碳水化合物含量,以及4种酶活力均呈显著下降趋势(P<0.05),而乙酸含量则呈显著上升趋势(P<0.05)。2)横向看,随着EFE添加量的提高,发酵一定时间后, DM、NDF、ADF和WSC含量以及pH值、氨态氮含量、羧基肽酶活力和酸性蛋白酶活力呈显著下降趋势(P<0.05),而乙酸含量、纤维素酶活力、和木聚糖活力呈上升趋势(P<0.05),发酵第35天后趋于稳定,0.8和1.6 g·kg^-1 EFE添加组表现出较低的pH值、NDF含量和ADF含量(P<0.05),以及较高的纤维素酶和木聚糖酶活力(P<0.05);由此,本试验发现,添加EFE可促进FTMR中纤维类物质的降解、有机酸的积累和自身纤维类物质的酶活力,抑制羧基肽酶活力和酸性蛋白酶活力,减少蛋白质的损失,且存在添加剂量效应,适宜添加量为0.8~1.6 g·kg^-1 DM。     

延胡索酸二钠对瘤胃微生物体外发酵不同饲料成分的影响

以黑麦草、高羊茅、稻草、花生壳等粗料成分以及玉米、小麦、可溶性淀粉等精料成分为发酵底物研究了延胡索酸二钠对瘤胃微生物体外发酵的影响。结果表明,延胡索酸二钠显著提高了各种底物的发酵产气量(P<0.01),黑麦草粉、高羊茅草粉、稻草粉和花生壳粉的底物消失率分别比对照组提高了26.22%(P<0.05),14.16%(P<0.05),28.54%(P<0.01)和45.09%(P<0.05);延胡索酸二钠显著提高了小麦、玉米和可溶性淀粉的pH值(P<0.05),但对粗料无明显影响(P>0.05);小麦、玉米和可溶性淀粉处理组的乳酸浓度均低于对照组;各种底物的处理组的NH3-N浓度与对照组无明显差异(P>0.05);各种底物中,小麦的总挥发性脂肪酸(total volatile fatty acid)浓度最高,小麦处理组的乙酸浓度、丙酸浓度、丙酸比例均高于对照组(P<0.05);而乙酸丙酸比降低了0.18(P<0.01),延胡索酸二钠提高了所有底物的丙酸浓度及其比例。综合各指标的发酵情况,延胡索酸二钠对各种底物均有一定的效果,是一种潜在的反刍动物饲料添加剂。     

Effect of fortifying concentrate supplement with fibrolytic enzymes on nutrient utilization, milk yield and composition in lactating goats

Thirty lactating Beetle‐sannen crossbred goats were randomly divided into 3 groups based on first fortnight milk yield, and then adjusted to body weights to study the effect of fibrolytic enzyme supplementation on digestibility and milk production. Goats in the control group (C) were fed 500 g of concentrate supplement (CS) without exogenous fibrolytic enzymes (control; CG) or CS fortified with cellulase and xylanases @ of 4000 and 12500 (EG₁) or 8000 and 18 750 IU/kg (EG₂), respectively. CS was offered in two equal proportions just after milking at 7 and 17 h. After feeding CS, goats were fed 1200 g of wheat straw as roughage in two equal parts at 08.00 and 18.00 hours. Milk yield was studied for 3½ months. Milking was done by hand. Changes in body weight were also recorded. After a preliminary period of 60 days of feeding, a 7‐day digestibility trial was conducted in two intervals with 5 animals from each group at a time. The increase in either wheat straw or NDF intake due to the enzyme mixture was only 3%. There was significant improvement (P < 0.05) in the diet digestibility of DM, OM, CP, NDF, ADF and total carbohydrates (TC) between the control and EG₁ and EG₂ goats. Improvements were greater (P < 0.05) in the latter group. Microbial protein (MBP) was estimated based on purine derivatives and creatinine excreted in spot urine samples. MBP increased about 10 and 15% in EG₁ and EG₂, but these values were statistically invalid. Phenomenally milk yield, fat and SNF were significantly (P < 0.001) changed with progression of lactation. On a temporal basis, fortnightly changes in FCM yield of this study could be grouped as 1 month each of first and last and 1½ of middle phase of lactation. Repeated measure analysis showed 180 to 260 mL/day of higher FCM and 16 to 20 g/day of higher SNF yield (P < 0.001) in EG₂ than control or even EG₁ during 5 to 7^th fortnight. However, no significant impact (P > 0.05) was noticed on TF. Feed intake, g/kg FCM yield was also 7% less in EG₂ than either CG or EG₁. The study concluded that apart from increased digestibility, fortification of CS with cellulase and xylanases enzymes improved FCM yield in the last quarter of lactation in goats, and improved body weights by 5% (P > 0.05). While the digestibility of the diet was higher in EG₁ and EG₂, the impact on FCM and SNF yield was noticed only on EG₂. Our study indicated that CS of lactating goats may be fortified with 8000 and 18 500 IU/kg CS in the last quarter of lactation.     

Effects of exogenous fibrolytic enzymes on intake,duodenal flow,and digestion in steers fed diets with whole or cracked Pima cottonseed

Abstract

This study evaluated the effects of exogenous fibrolytic enzymes on intake, ruminal fermentation, and duodenal flow and digestion of nutrients in steers fed diets with whole Pima cottonseed (WPC) or cracked Pima cottonseed (CPC). Four Holstein steers (167±5 kg body weight) fitted with ruminal and duodenal cannulas with a 4×4 Latin square in a 2×2 factorial arrangement of treatments (WPC or CPC; 0 or 15 g enzyme) were used. Steers were fed wheat flaked-based diets with 9.95% of WPC or CPC as dry matter basis. Enzymes increased molar proportion of acetate in steer fed WPC, but in those fed CPC acetate decreased. Feeding enzymes increased duodenal flow of organic matter in steers fed WPC, but not in those fed CPC. Also, enzymes increased duodenal flow of N, non-ammonia N, and intestinal digestion of N in steers fed WPC and CPC.     

饲喂热带牧草对云南鹅生长的影响

应用传统形态生物学的分析框架,选取云南鹅为研究对象,设计黑麦草(Lolium multiflorum)组、菊苣(Cichorium intybus)组、象草(Pennisetum purpureum)组3种热带牧草基础日粮,采用配合饲料为对照,分析这3种热带牧草对云南白鹅生长的影响。研究结果显示,1)4种不同日粮饲喂的云南鹅在体质发育、胸部相对发育、胸肌发育和脚的相对发育上水平相当,但饲喂象草、菊苣和配合饲料较饲喂黑麦草日粮条件下云南鹅背部发育更好,且饲喂象草的效果最为明显;2)在试验期内,饲喂云南鹅黑麦草和菊苣能取得与配合饲料相似的日增重和料重比,且日增重均高于饲喂象草组和配合饲料组,料重比均低于饲喂象草组;3）饲喂4种不同日粮对云南鹅平均体质量累积均呈现“快-慢-快”的生长模式,而对日增重的影响主要集中在约75日龄以前,75日龄后云南鹅的生长不受这4种不同日粮的影响,用黑麦草饲喂30～50日龄云南鹅可有效提高云南鹅平均日增重; 4）就生产效益的比较而言,黑麦草和菊苣均适宜在云南鹅的养殖中使用,且黑麦草对30～50日龄云南鹅的平均日增重具有特殊作用,而象草不适宜在云南鹅的饲养中单独饲用。     

体外产气法研究不同NFC/NDF底物条件下外源纤维素酶的适宜添加水平

本试验旨在利用体外产气法研究不同非纤维性碳水化合物/中性洗涤纤维(non-fiber carbohydrates/neutral detergent fiber, NFC/NDF)的底物条件下外源纤维素酶(exogenous fibrolytic enzymes, EFE)对底物产气、降解和发酵特性的影响,找出不同底物条件下适宜的EFE添加水平。采用2×5交叉分组试验设计,5个NFC/NDF底物水平 (0.85、1.02、1.19、1.36和1.53)分别添加5种水平的EFE(0, 2, 4, 8 和16 mg/g DM)进行体外发酵。结果表明,1)不同NFC/NDF底物和EFE水平对体外总产气量(GP₄₈)和产气参数(b、c和L)均有显著的影响(P<0.05),且两因素互作显著(P<0.05);底物1中, GP₄₈、b和c值随EFE剂量的增加显著地线性和二次提高(P<0.05),其中以16 mg/g 水平组较高,L值则呈相反趋势;底物2~4中,GP₄₈、b和c值随EFE剂量增加显著地二次提高(P<0.05),其中以4 mg/g 水平组较高。2)不同底物对干物质消失率(DMD)、酸性洗涤纤维降解率(ADFD)、中性洗涤纤维降解率(NDFD)和氮降解率(ND)均有显著的影响(P<0.05),除ND外,EFE水平的添加效应呈现相似结果;底物1条件下,随着EFE添加剂量的提高,DMD、ADFD和NDFD显著地线性提高(P<0.05),其中均以16 mg/g组最高(P<0.05);而底物2~4中则以4 mg/g组最高(P<0.05)。3)不同NFC/NDF底物和EFE水平对瘤胃发酵参数均有显著影响(P<0.05),除丙酸外,两种因素对其他指标的互作效应均显著(P<0.05);在底物1~4条件下,随着EFE添加剂量的提高,除丙酸以外的其他发酵参数显著地线性和二次提高或降低(P<0.05);底物1中,对照组pH值、氨态氮含量和丁酸摩尔浓度显著高于4、8和16 mg/g组(P<0.05),相反,16 mg/g组的总挥发性脂肪酸(TVFA)、乙酸摩尔浓度和乙酸∶丙酸值较高;底物2~4条件下,pH值和氨态氮含量以4 mg/g组较低,而TVFA、乙酸摩尔浓度和乙酸∶丙酸值则呈相反的趋势。4)NFC/NDF=1.53时,添加EFE对体外产气参数、降解特性和发酵特性均无显著影响(P>0.05)。由此,本试验发现,NFC/NDF底物影响了EFE的添加效应,NFC/NDF=0.85时,16 mg/g EFE水平组有较好纤维降解效果;NFC/NDF分别为1.02、1.19和1.36时,EFE最适添加剂量为4 mg/g;NFC/NDF=1.53时,底物中添加EFE没有正面效应。     

Influence of storage time and processing on chemical composition and in vitro ruminal fermentation of olive cake

Olive oil extraction generates olive cake (OC) that could be used in ruminant feeding. However, the chemical composition of OC is affected by multiple factors, being therefore highly variable. The objective of this study was to analyse the influence of storage time and further processing: crude, exhausted (subjected to a second oil extraction) and cyclone (obtained from a cyclone separator) on nutritive value of OC samples. Twelve samples (six crude and six exhausted) were obtained monthly from the same pond from 1 to 6 storage months, and nine samples (three crude, three exhausted and three cyclone) were obtained monthly from a different pond from 6 to 9 months storage. Chemical composition was analysed, and OC samples were fermented in vitro with sheep rumen fluid. Increasing storage time up to 6 months decreased sugars and total soluble polyphenols content but increased fibre content in OC. Dry matter effective degradability (DMED) decreased linearly (p < 0.001) by 35.9 and 45.5% as storage time augmented from 1 to 6 months for crude and exhausted OC, respectively. Crude OC had lower DMED values than exhausted OC (averaged values 0.255 and 0.294 g/g, respectively). Both potential production and rate of gas production were lower (p ≤ 0.018) in crude compared with exhausted OC, which was attributed to the high fat content of crude OC (≥86 g/kg dry matter). For samples stored longer than 6 months, cyclone had greater (p < 0.05) DMED than crude and exhausted OC (averaged values 0.207, 0.164 and 0.164 g/g, respectively). The results indicate that ruminal degradability of OC is reduced with advancing storage time, but only subtle changes were observed during the first two months. Cyclone showed greater degradability than crude and exhausted OC, but differences between crude and exhausted OC became negligible after five storage months.     

体外法研究延胡索酸二钠对瘤胃微生物发酵活力及甲烷产量的影响

为探讨延胡索酸二钠对瘤胃甲烷产量及瘤胃微生物发酵活力的影响,本研究共设计了3个试验来阐明该问题。试验1采用体外批次培养,研究了不同日粮条件下(高牧草日粮、中等水平牧草的日粮和低牧草日粮)添加延胡索酸二钠(0,4和7mmol/L)对山羊瘤胃微生物发酵及甲烷产量的影响。结果表明,较对照相比,添加延胡索酸二钠显著提高了累积产气量、pH值和TVFA产量(P<0.05),降低了甲烷产量(P<0.05),其中高牧草日粮组下降幅度最大。试验2探讨了延胡索酸二钠对黄化瘤胃球菌发酵粗饲料活力的影响。结果表明,与对照组相比;添加延胡索酸二钠显著提高了黄化瘤胃球菌数量及其对黑麦草的降解率(P<0.05);试验3探讨了延胡索酸二钠对瘤胃真菌发酵粗饲料活力的影响,结果显示,延胡索酸二钠显著降低了厌氧真菌发酵的总产气量、干物质消失率及羧甲基纤维素酶酶活(P<0.05)。结果说明,延胡索酸二钠在降低甲烷产量方面与发酵底物的天然特性有关,其中对高牧草日粮的作用效应最为显著;延胡索酸二钠可提高瘤胃混合微生物与瘤胃纤维降解菌发酵粗饲料的能力,但对瘤胃真菌的发酵活力具有抑制效应。     

Effect of monensin withdrawal on rumen fermentation,methanogenesis and microbial populations in cattle

This study was designed to obtain information on the residual influence of dietary monensin on ruminant fermentation, methanogenesis and bacterial population. Three ruminally cannulated crossbreed heifers (14 months old, 363 ± 11 kg) were fed Italian ryegrass straw and concentrate supplemented with monensin for 21 days before sampling. Rumen fluid samples were collected for analysis of short chain fatty acid (SCFA) profiles, monensin concentration, methanogens and rumen bacterial density. Post‐feeding rumen fluid was also collected to determine in vitro gas production. Monensin was eliminated from the rumen fluid within 3 days. The composition of SCFA varied after elimination of monensin, while total production of SCFA was 1.78 times higher than on the first day. Methane production increased 7 days after monensin administration ceased, whereas hydrogen production decreased. The methanogens and rumen bacterial copy numbers were unaffected by the withdrawal of monensin.     

In vitro rumen fermentation of the tropical grass Pennisetum purpureum and mixtures with browse legumes: effects of tannin contents

The fermentation of Pennisetum purpureum, alone (PP) or substituted with 0.30 of the tanniferous legumes Acacia cornigera (AC), Albizia lebbekoides (AL), Leucaena leucocephala (LL) and the saponin‐rich Enterolobium cyclocarpum (EC) was studied in vitro, in presence or absence of polyethylene glycol (PEG) as tannin binder. Inactivation of tannins with PEG increased (p < 0.05) gas production with AL and LL from 8 and 12 h to the end of the incubation period respectively. When PEG was added, LL and AC promoted a higher (p < 0.05) gas volume than PP in the first 12 h incubation, and there were not differences between PP and AL. Substrate mixtures reduced (p < 0.05) methane volume produced compared with PP, but this was not related to PEG inclusion (p > 0.10). There was a trend (p = 0.06) for a higher 48 h bacterial attachment to the substrate when incubated without PEG. The decrease in fermentation of EC from 12 h incubation onwards could be associated with a negative mid‐term effect of saponins over cellulolytic bacterial activity. It is concluded that the effects of tannins on microbial fermentation of mixed forage substrates are variable, depending on their nature, but do not have a marked impact on bacterial adhesion or methane production.     

The effects of dietary medium-chain fatty acids on ruminal methanogenesis and fermentation in vitro and in vivo: A meta-analysis

The efficacy of methane (CH₄) suppression using medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA) remains inconclusive, despite a number of studies on this topic are available. We thus carried out a meta-analysis to integrate the published data on different concentrations and types of MCFA such as lauric acid and myristic acid, which investigated ruminal methanogenesis and fermentation in in vitro and in vivo experiments. In vitro MCFA sources were classified either as pure MCFA (lauric acid, myristic acid and their combinations) or as natural MCFA-rich oils (canola oil enriched with lauric acids, coconut oil, krabok oil and palm kernel oil). The MCFA sources used in the in vivo studies were coconut oil, lauric acid, myristic acid and the combination of lauric and myristic acids. A total of 41 studies (20 in vitro and 21 in vivo studies) were compiled in our database, which included the data on CH₄ emission, digestibility, ruminal fermentation products and microbial populations. The results showed that the amount of CH₄ production per unit of digested organic matter decreased linearly under in vitro conditions (p < .01) and tended to decrease quadratically under in vivo conditions (p < .07) with increasing doses of MCFA. Populations of protozoa (p < .01) in both in vitro and in vivo responded negatively in a linear manner, whereas Archaea population diminished quadratically (p = .04) only in the in vitro conditions with increasing doses of MCFA. Increasing dietary MCFA concentrations also reduced the fibre digestibility linearly (p < .05) in both in vitro and in vivo conditions. CH₄ production for different sources of MCFA decreased in following order: coconut oil > lauric acid > myristic acid > mixed lauric and myristic acids > palm kernel oil > canola oil enriched with lauric acids > krabok oil. It can be concluded that the effect of MCFA on ruminal methanogenesis depends on the amount and type of MCFA.     

Effect of ensiling persimmon peel and grape pomace as tannin-rich byproduct feeds on their chemical composition and in vitro rumen fermentation

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of ensiling fruit byproducts on their chemical composition and in vitro ruminal fermentation. Persimmon peel (PP), white grape pomace (WGP), and red grape pomace (RGP) were ensiled for 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks. Fresh and ensiled PP, WGP, and RGP were used for in vitro rumen fermentation with or without polyethylene glycol (PEG). The non-fiber carbohydrate (NFC) content of the byproducts decreased after ensiling, especially for PP. The total tannin content was not changed after ensiling for up to 4 weeks for all byproducts. However, the soluble tannin content in PP decreased but that in grape pomaces was unaffected by ensiling. Gas production, total volatile fatty acid concentration, and methane production by in vitro rumen fermentation for PP and WGP were reduced by ensiling, and increased by adding PEG, except for gas production from the PP silage. These results indicated that changes in the fractions of carbohydrate and tannins during the ensiling process were different between PP and grape pomace. Even though the insolubilization of tannins in PP during ensiling reduced its inhibitory effect on ruminal fermentability, the ensiling PP seemed to remain the ability to mitigate methanogenesis in the rumen.     

Effects of exogenous fibrolytic enzymes on ruminal digestibility in steers fed high fiber rations

The effects of two exogenous fibrolytic enzyme products on ruminal disappearance and fermentation of oat straw-wheat middlings based diets were evaluated. Six steers (322 ± 34.4 kg body weight) fitted with ruminal cannulas were used in a 3 × 3 Latin square replicated. The treatments consisted of: 1) control, 2) Fibrozyme (2 g/kg dry matter), and 3) Promote (3 ml/kg dry matter). Both, Fibrozyme (Alltech Inc.) and Promote NET (Cargill Corp.) were sprayed as liquid onto diets and feeds 24 h before feeding. Samples of diets were ruminally incubated from 0 to 72 h. Enzymes did not change dry matter intake, average daily gain and feed conversion. Fibrozyme increased crude protein (CP) disappearance rate of diet, while Promote increased CP total disappearance. In diets, enzymes did not affect ruminal neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) fractions. Fibrozyme and Promote did increase CP total disappearance, ADF potential disappearance and ADF disappearance rate of wheat middlings, as well as dry matter (DM) and CP total disappearance, NDF disappearance rate, ADF potential disappearance and ADF disappearance rate of oat straw. Ruminal pH values were higher with enzymes, as compared to control. Total volatile fatty acids concentration and molar proportion of acetate and butyrate were not affected by both enzymes, but molar proportion of propionate was lower and acetate:propionate ratio higher with Promote than control. Fibrozyme and Promote did increase DM and CP soluble fractions of diets, as well as, ADF potential disappearance of wheat middling and oat straw.     

In situ ruminal degradation and in vitro fermentation characteristics,and antioxidative activities of the lotus rhizome

We evaluated the lotus rhizome as a potential ruminant feed by investigating its compositional properties, in situ degradation profile and in vitro fermentation characteristics with ruminal microbes, in comparison with cereal grains (corn, barley and wheat). The antioxidative activities in the lotus rhizome were also estimated. The soluble fraction of dry matter in lotus tuber was >70%, which was higher than those in the grains. The insoluble fraction in lotus tuber was not degraded by ruminal microbes in accord with a first‐order reaction. In an in vitro experiment, lotus tuber showed lower fermentation at 8 hr compared to the grains, but exhibited higher productions of gas and VFA at 48 hr along with a lower lactate and higher pH. The lower value of final lactate production in lotus tuber, indicating the metabolic capacity for lactate utilization retained, suggests a lower risk of ruminal acidosis compared to grains. Lotus rhizome had high antioxidant activities, with the foliar bud showing the strongest ferric reducing antioxidant power, followed in order by the apical bud, node, residual tuber, edible tuber, and nodal root. For ruminants, the lotus rhizome could thus be not only an energy feed but also the source of natural antioxidants.     

添加外源纤维水解酶对羊草体外瘤胃发酵酶活性及特性的影响

试验通过分别添加纤维素酶与木聚糖酶0,10.0与50.0 mg水平,0与24 h两个预处理时间,每个处理3个重复,体外法评价纤维素酶与木聚糖酶复合处理羊草后与瘤胃液共培养对木聚糖酶与葡聚糖酶活性及发酵特性的影响。结果表明,添加纤维水解酶能提高0与8 h培养液中木聚糖酶和内切葡聚糖酶活性以及0 h培养液中外切葡聚糖酶活性,且具有添加剂量效应。当培养至24及48 h,添加外源酶制剂并不能提高培养液中相关酶活性。外源酶制剂显著增加培养24与48 h发酵液中乙酸含量,8,24与48 h 总挥发性脂肪酸产量 (P<0.05)以及48 h累积产气量(P<0.05),但对培养期内戊酸与异戊酸含量没有影响(P＞0.05)。结果提示添加外源酶制剂能提高早期培养液中木聚糖酶和葡聚糖酶活性、增加VFA产量和改善体外瘤胃发酵特性。     

Effects of substituting kraft pulp with corn silage on dry matter intake,ruminal mat formation,rumen fermentation,and rumination activity in non‐lactating cows

The present study examined the effects of substituting kraft pulp (KP) with corn silage (CS) on dry matter intake (DMI), ruminal mat and rumen fermentation characteristics, and rumination. Four non‐lactating, rumen‐cannulated Holstein cows were fed a CS diet comprising 36% grass silage (GS) and 64% CS or a KP diet comprising 36% GS, 57% KP, and 7% soybean meal. DMI was significantly lower in cows fed the KP diet than in those fed the CS diet (p < 0.05), whereas rumination time did not significantly differ between the treatments. Dry matter content in the rumen immediately before and 3 h after feeding was significantly higher in cows fed the KP diet than in those fed the CS diet (p < 0.05). The consistency and thickness of the ruminal mat did not significantly differ between the treatments. The ruminal mean retention time of feed particles tended to be longer in cows fed the KP diet than in those fed the CS diet (p < 0.10). The ruminal digestion rate of KP was comparable to that of GS and CS. Because ruminal mat was formed and rumination was stimulated, KP was considered to have the equivalent physical effectiveness as CS.     

体外法研究异麦芽寡糖对生长绵羊瘤胃发酵功能的影响

采用批次培养的方法,研究了体外条件下日粮添加异麦芽寡糖对生长绵羊瘤胃发酵功能的影响。异麦芽寡糖的添加水平分别为0%(对照组)、0.20%、0.40%、0.60%、0.80%、1.00%。结果表明,日粮添加异麦芽寡糖可以提高培养液中挥发性脂肪酸(VFA)含量,降低培养液中的氨氮(NH3-N)含量和培养残渣中中性洗涤纤维(NDF)含量,但对培养液中菌体蛋白(BCP)含量的影响不确定。研究初步证明,日粮添加异麦芽寡糖可以在一定程度上提高生长绵羊的瘤胃发酵功能。     

体外法研究生石膏对瘤胃发酵、甲烷生成及微生态的影响

通过体外产气法研究了生石膏对瘤胃发酵、甲烷生成及微生态的影响。按单因子试验设计,在底物中分别按其干物质的0(对照组)、1.25%(低水平组)、2.5%(高水平组)添加生石膏,每个组设4个重复,进行24h体外发酵培养。结果显示,随生石膏添加水平升高,乙酸与总挥发性脂肪酸浓度、乙酸与丙酸的浓度比、12和24h产气量、氢的生成量及甲烷菌数量显著(P0.05)或极显著(P0.01)降低,而丙酸占总挥发性脂肪酸的比例与原虫数量极显著(P0.01)升高;生石膏添加会显著(P0.05)或显著(P0.01)降低12和24h甲烷产量,而高水平添加会显著(P0.05)降低丙酸浓度与乙酸占总挥发性脂肪酸的比例。结果表明,生石膏可通过减少氢的供应量和抑制甲烷菌生长而降低体外甲烷产量,同时会促进原虫增殖,致使2种添加水平的相对甲烷抑制潜势没有显著(P0.05)差异。     

日粮不同CP及RUP水平对奶牛瘤胃发酵的影响

试验旨在研究不同水平的粗蛋白(CP)及瘤胃非降解蛋白(RUP)的日粮对奶牛瘤胃代谢的影响。试验选择18头健康、体重相近的荷斯坦奶牛作为试验动物,随机分为6组,每组3头。采用2×3因子完全随机试验设计,其中CP设7.5%(低)、9%(中)1、0.5%(高)三个水平,RUP设45%CP(低)、55%CP(高)两个水平,共6个处理组,饲喂相同基础日粮,精粗比为3:7,预饲期10 d,饲喂后2、4、8、12、24 h从食道采集瘤胃液2 d,测定瘤胃液pH值,NH3-N、微生物蛋白质(BCP)、挥发性脂肪酸(VFA)含量。结果表明:日粮CP水平对瘤胃液氨氮浓度的影响极显著(P<0.01),对BCP及VFA的含量影响较小,总体而言,9%CP水平组对奶牛的瘤胃发酵略好于其他两组;日粮中高RUP(55%CP)可以显著降低瘤胃pH值且有降低NH3-N浓度的趋势,同时,对瘤胃BCP及VFA的合成有一定的促进作用。本试验条件下,日粮中CP(9%)和RUP(55%CP)可在一定程度上改善瘤胃代谢。     

绞股蓝皂甙对体外瘤胃微生物甲烷产量及发酵特性的影响

利用体外产气量法研究绞股蓝皂甙对山羊瘤胃微生物体外甲烷产量及发酵特性的影响。试验包括2个部分,试验一研究了绞股蓝皂甙对瘤胃微生物甲烷产量及发酵特性的影响,试验二分析绞股蓝皂甙对瘤胃微生物发酵动力学参数的影响。试验以0.42 g羊草＋0.126 g玉米＋0.054 g豆粕为发酵底物,60 mL培养基中的绞股蓝皂甙添加量分别为0(对照),5,10,20和40 mg,发酵24 h。与对照组比较,发酵8 h,各处理组甲烷浓度显著下降(P<0.05),分别下降30.20％,43.49％,44.67％和75.8％;12 h,20 mg组显著下降(P<0.05),40 mg组极显著下降(P<0.01),处理组甲烷浓度分别下降6.97％,9.63％,18.90％和61.82％;24 h,10 mg组显著下降(P<0.05),40 mg组极显著下降(P<0.01),处理组甲烷浓度分别下降2.34％,9.39％,6.90％和20.73％,甲烷浓度与皂甙剂量之间有极显著的线性效应(P<0.01)。10 mg组的氢利用率极显著低于对照组,其他试验组无显著变化。10 mg组显著提高了TVFA及乙酸、丙酸、异丁酸、戊酸、异戊酸和支链脂肪酸浓度(P<0.05),40 mg组丁酸的浓度极显著下降(P<0.01)。10 mg组和20 mg组乙丙比显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。随着皂甙剂量增加,乙酸、丁酸、异丁酸、戊酸、异戊酸、支链脂肪酸、总挥发性脂肪酸浓度及乙丙比呈显著或极显著的二次方效应,丁酸同时具有极显著的线性效应。处理组原虫数量显著(P<0.05)或极显著下降(P<0.01)(40 mg组),且与皂甙剂量间存在极显著的线性和二次方效应(P<0.01)。微生物蛋白含量没有显著变化,但呈上升趋势。10 mg组和40 mg组的氨态氮浓度显著升高(P<0.05),氨态氮浓度与皂甙剂量之间有显著的线性效应(P<0.05)。高剂量绞股蓝皂甙降低了微生物发酵的理论与实际产气量,并呈显著的线性和二次方效应,产气速率与皂甙剂量之间有着显著的线性效应。以上结果表明绞股蓝皂甙能改变瘤胃微生物发酵模式,降低瘤胃微生物的甲烷产量,提高VFA的产量,有利于饲料能量的利用,同时缓解甲烷对大气环境的污染。
