Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary tryptophan level and feeding regimen on protein metabolism of Yangzhou goslings. A total of two hundred and seventy 21-day-old Yangzhou goslings were used in a 2×3 double factorial design trial and randomly assigned to 6 groups with 3 replicates in each group and 15 goslings in each replicate. Treatments consisted of two feeding regimens (ad libitum and 90% feed restriction), and each contained three dietary tryptophan levels (groupⅠ 0.14%, group Ⅱ 0.22% and group Ⅲ 0.30%). The experiment lasted for 42 days. The results showed as follows: 1) feeding regimen had significant effects on protein deposition content (PDC) in breast and thigh and crude protein (CP) content in liver (P<0.05), the breast PDC and thigh CP content in groups Ⅱ and Ⅲ were significantly increased than those in group Ⅰ (P<0.05), and the interaction between feeding regimen and dietary tryptophan level was significant in the liver CP content (P<0.05). 2) The serum tryptophan/LNAAs (large neutral amino acids) in restricted feeding group Ⅲ was significantly higher than that in group Ⅰ (P<0.05). Compared with group Ⅰ, the serum total protein content in groups Ⅱ and Ⅲ was significantly increased (P<0.05), while the serum uric acid content in group Ⅲ and serum cortisol content in group Ⅱ were significantly decreased (P<0.05). No interaction was found between dietary tryptophan level and feeding regimen in serum biochemical parameters (P<0.05). 3) The protein fractional synthesis rate and fractional growth rate in groups Ⅱ and Ⅲ were significantly higher than those in group Ⅰ (P<0.05). In conclusion, adding tryptophan in low dietary tryptophan level diet can increase the body protein deposition of Yangzhou goslings.
