Effects of dietary Bacillus coagulans and yeast hydrolysate supplementation on growth performance,immune response and intestinal barrier function in weaned piglets

The present study investigated the effects of Bacillus coagulans and yeast hydrolysate supplementation on growth performance, immune response and intestinal barrier function of weaned piglets. Twenty-four weaned piglets with an average body weight (BW) of 6.89 ± 0.15 kg were divided into four diets for 28 days. The treatments were basal diet (control), basal diet supplemented with antibiotic (20 mg/kg colistin sulphate and 40 mg/kg bacitracin zinc, AT), probiotics (400 mg/kg Bacillus coagulans ≥5 × 109 CFU/g, BC) or yeast hydrolysate (5000 mg/kg yeast hydrolysate, YH). Average daily gain (ADG) and average daily feed intake (ADFI) were improved by AT and YH diets (p < 0.05), while BC diet only increased ADG (p < 0.05). The complement 3 (C3), lysozyme (LZM) and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) concentrations in serum were increased in BC diet (p < 0.05). Feeding AT and YH caused the increase of jejunal villus height (p < 0.05), and a higher ratio of villus height/crypt depth was observed in AT, BC and YH groups (p < 0.05). The mRNA expression of zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) in jejunal mucosa was up-regulated by AT, BC and YH diets (p < 0.05). Dietary AT, BC or YH inclusion decreased the interleukin-1β (IL-1β) concentration and TNF-α mRNA expression (p < 0.05), and YH supplementation even down-regulated toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and CD14 expressions (p < 0.05). In summary, the dietary administration of BC or YH both improves growth performance through promoting the intestinal barrier function, indicating both of them can serve as potential alternatives to antibiotics growth promoters for the piglet production.     

青贮蘑菇渣的营养品质及体外发酵特性评价

本文旨在评估蘑菇渣青贮料的营养品质、发酵特性及其与常规饲料原料的体外降解差异性。试验将收集的蘑菇渣作为原料,与米糠、糖蜜、垫料和菌种混合后青贮4周。分别在青贮0、7、14和28d时收集样品,用于评估营养品质、体外发酵特性,同时对比青贮蘑菇渣饲料与水稻秸秆和大麦秸秆的体外降解特性。结果:随着蘑菇渣青贮时间的升高,干物质含量显著降低(P<0.05),同时青贮7d后有机物含量也显著降低(P<0.05)。蘑菇渣青贮后,粗蛋白质和粗脂肪含量显著升高(P<0.05)。青贮7d后,粗灰分含量显著升高(P<0.05),而青贮7和28d后酸性洗涤纤维含量显著高于青贮0和14d(P<0.05)。蘑菇渣青贮7d后,pH显著升高(P<0.05),随后又显著降低(P<0.05),同时乙酸和丙酸含量显著降低,随后又升高(P<0.05)。蘑菇渣青贮后,乳酸和氨氮浓度显著升高(P<0.05),而水溶性碳水化物浓度显著降低(P<0.05)。青贮蘑菇渣的干物质组分中,水溶降解部分显著高于水稻秸秆和大麦秸秆(P<0.05),但不溶降解部分显著降低(P<0.05)且非降解部分显著低于水稻秸秆(P<0.05)。针对蛋白组分,青贮蘑菇渣水溶降解部分也显著高于其他两种原料(P<0.05),但不溶降解和非降解部分显著降低(P<0.05)。蘑菇渣青贮料中性洗涤纤维可消化部分显著低于水稻和大麦秸秆(P<0.05),不可消化部分则显著提高(P<0.05)。结论:以蘑菇渣为基础的青贮料发酵良好,可保存至第4周。以蘑菇渣为基础的青贮料干物质和粗蛋白质降解率远高于水稻、大麦和黑秸秆,中性洗涤纤维的降解率则相反。     

2016—2020年安徽省高致病性猪繁殖与呼吸综合征定点监测

为了解安徽省高致病性猪繁殖与呼吸综合征(HP-PRRS)免疫状况及流行趋势,2016—2020年采用间接ELISA和荧光RT-PCR方法,在代表安徽省不同区域的3个定点监测县,随机采集21个规模化猪场的1 190份猪血清和1 189份猪扁桃体样品,分别进行血清抗体检测和病毒核酸检测,并统计分析时间、区间、群间变化规律。结果显示:安徽省3个定点监测县的HP-PRRS平均免疫抗体合格率为81.26%,连续5年每年均有病原检出,平均病原样品阳性率为16.82%;5年内,免疫抗体合格率和病原阳性率呈波浪状变化,2019年抗体合格率最高(92.78%),而2020年又降至70%以下;中小型场抗体合格率偏低,而病原阳性率偏高;皖中地区定点监测县的抗体合格率最低(不足70%),而病原样品阳性率最高(接近30%);保育猪、育肥猪抗体合格率偏低(不足80%),而保育猪、哺乳仔猪病原样品阳性率偏高(超过28%);灭活苗免疫猪群的抗体合格率最高(90.56%)。结果表明:安徽省3个定点监测县的HP-PRRS免疫效果较好,但抗体保护水平不稳定,病原污染面广、流行时间长。建议各地根据各自实际情况和流行特点,采取各有侧重的防控策略,将中小规模养殖场尤其是保育猪、哺乳仔猪和育肥猪群作为防控重点。本研究为HP-PRRS防控提供了技术支持。     

湖南省部分地区病猪和屠宰猪群猪圆环病毒感染状况调查

为了解湖南省猪圆环病毒（PCV）流行情况,采用荧光PCR方法,对来自湖南省14个市州的821份临床病料和屠宰场猪淋巴结样品进行PCV1、PCV2、PCV3和PCV4荧光PCR检测。结果显示：在821份样品中,PCV阳性检出率为88.06%（723/821）,阳性检出率由高到低依次为PCV2（81.49%）、PCV3（33.98%）、PCV1（8.04%）和PCV4（1.10%）;278个样品存在两种及以上的PCV混合感染,以PCV2+PCV3混合感染最多,占82.01%;在地域分布上,PCV1、PCV2、PCV3在湖南省各地区均有分布,而PCV4分布范围较小,感染率低。结果表明,湖南省内PCV流行较为普遍,4种基因型病毒都存在,但以PCV2流行最为广泛,需要加强防控。

为研究不同品系杜洛克作为终端父本对其后代商品猪胴体性状的影响,选取214和108头分别由美系和加系杜洛克公猪配种、出生时间相近(±2 d)和体重相近(35±5 kg)的后代三元商品猪进行育肥饲养,结束饲养后开展屠宰试验,测定背膘厚度、眼肌厚度、瘦肉率和肋骨数。结果显示:加系杜洛克商品后代的背膘厚度、眼肌厚度显著(P<0.05)高于美系杜洛克后代商品猪;加系杜洛克后代商品猪的瘦肉率、肋骨数显著(P<0.05)低于美系杜洛克。同一品系不同性别间背膘厚度、眼肌厚度、瘦肉率均不显著(P>0.05),加系商品公猪肋骨数极显著低于母猪肋骨数(P<0.01)。结论:美系杜洛克后代商品猪的胴体性状优于加系杜洛克后代商品猪。     

Effects of soybean raffinose on growth performance,digestibility,humoral immunity and intestinal morphology of growing pigs

There are appreciable does of raffinose in soybean, but the impacts of raffinose on pigs are poorly investigated. We used 2 experiments to investigate the influence of soybean raffinose on growth performance, digestibility, humoral immunity and intestinal morphology of growing pigs. In Exp. 1, a total of 30 crossbred (Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire) barrows (21.93 ± 0.43 kg) were randomly divided into 3 groups, and were fed with the control diet, the control diets supplemented with 0.2% and 0.5% raffinose, respectively, for 21 d. Results showed that the addition of 0.2% or 0.5% raffinose reduced (P < 0.05) average daily feed intake (ADFI), average daily gain (ADG) and nutrient digestibility, and dietary 0.5% raffinose increased the ratio of feed to gain (P < 0.05). For serum indexes, dietary 0.5% raffinose decreased growth hormone and increased glucagon-like peptide-2, immunoglobulin G, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 concentration (P < 0.05). In Exp. 2, a total of 24 crossbred barrows (38.41 ± 0.45 kg) were randomly divided into 3 groups, and were fed with the control diet (ad libitum), the raffinose diet (0.5% raffinose, ad libitum), and the control diet in the same amount as the raffinose group (feed-pair group) for 14 d, respectively. Compared with the control diet, dietary 0.5% raffinose decreased ADFI (P < 0.05). Intriguingly, the raffinose group had lower ADG than the feed-pair group, lower nutrient digestibility, lower amylase activity in duodenum, lower amylase, lipase and trypsin activities in jejunum and higher TNF-α concentration in serum compared with the other 2 groups, and a higher ratio of villus height to crypt depth compared with the control group (P < 0.05). These results showed that soybean raffinose could reduce feed voluntary intake and body gain while improving intestinal morphology without a significant negative influence on immunity. Taken together, dietary raffinose could decrease growth performance by reducing both feed intake and nutrient digestibility while inducing humoral immune response of growing pigs.
