Abstract

To study the effects of N-carbamylglutamic acid (NCG) supplementation and intestinal infusion of glucose on mRNA relative expression levels of nutrient sensing factors, blood physiochemical indexes and hormone contents of cashmere goats under the condition of decreasing dietary nitrogen level. Twenty seven healthy Inner Mongolia cashmere wethers with permanent rumen fistula and duodenal cannulas were used. In accordance with the principle of similar age and body weight, twenty seven goats were divided into nine groups with three goats per group. There were 3 dietary treatments, which were low nitrogen[crude protein (CP) 10.5%], low nitrogen +NCG (0.20 g/d) and high nitrogen (CP 13.5%); meanwhile, goats in each treatment were infused glucose at 3 levels, which were 0, 20 and 40g/d. After feeding experiment (15 d of pre-experiment and 15 d of formal experiment), goats were slaughtered to collect jejunum and duodenum tissues, the mRNA relative expression levels of intestinal nutrient sensing factor were determined by real-time PCR method, and blood physiochemical indexes, and serum and jejunal hormone contents were determined. The results showed as follows:1) under the condition of basal diet (without glucose infusion), with the decrease of dietary nitrogen level, the mRNA relative expression level of sodium-glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLT1) in jejunum and duodenum, plasma urea nitrogen (UN) and glucose contents, serum citrulline and insulin contents, and serum and jejunal contents of glucagon-likepeptide 1 (GLP-1), glucagon-likepeptide 2 (GLP-2) and glucose insulinotropic peptide (GIP) were declined, but the mRNA relative expression levels of solute carrier family 7 member 9 (SLC7A9) and solute carrier family 7 member 1 (SLC7A1) were increased. 2) After increase proper amount glucose, with the decease of dietary nitrogen level, the mRNA relative expression levels of SGLT1, taste 1 receptor member 1 (T1R1), taste 1 receptor member 2 (T1R2) and taste 1 receptor member 3 (T1R3) tended to be increased. 3) Under the condition of low dietary nitrogen level and 20 g/d glucose infusion, extra supplementation of NCG could help relieve the decrease of the mRNA relative expression level of SGLT1 in jejunum and duodenum, plasma UN and glucose contents, serum citrulline content, and serum and jejunal contents of GLP-1, GLP-2 and GIP induced by the decreasing dietary nitrogen level. The results indicate that under the condition of decreasing dietary nitrogen level at proper extent, NCG supplementation and increasing rumen-passed glucose (duodenal infusion 20 g/d glucose) can improve metabolism and intestinal nutrient sensing of cashmere goats.
