Abstract

This experiment was designed to investigate the effects of seabuckthorn flavonoids on growth performance, slaughtering performance, serum biochemical indexes, antioxidant capacity and immune function of meat rabbits. A total of 120 healthy (35±2)-day-old meat rabbits with similar body weight were randomly divided into 5 groups with 6 replicates per group and 4 rabbits per replicate. The rabbits in the control group were fed a basal diet, and the others in experimental groups were fed basal diets supplemented with 0.01%, 0.02%, 0.03% and 0.04% seabuckthorn flavonoids, respectively. The pre-experiment lasted for 7 days and the experiment lasted for 35 days. The results showed as follows: 1) compared with the control group, the final weight, average daily gain and average daily feed intake of 0.02% seabuckthorn flavonoids group were significantly increased (P<0.05), and the ratio of feed to gain was significantly decreased(P<0.05); the diarrhea rate of 0.02%, 0.03% and 0.04% seabuckthorn flavonoids groups was significantly decreased (P<0.05). 2) Compared with the control group, the dressing rate of 0.02% seabuckthorn flavonoids group was significantly increased (P<0.05), and the half eviscerated rate and all eviscerated rate of 0.01% and 0.02% seabuckthorn flavonoids groups were significantly increased (P<0.05). 3) Compared with the control group, the contents of total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein and glucose in serum of 0.03% seabuckthorn flavonoids group were significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the serum high density lipoprotein content of 0.02%, 0.03% and 0.04% seabuckthorn flavonoids groups was significantly increased (P<0.05). 4) Compared with the control group, the serum and liver superoxide dismutase activity and total antioxidant capacity of 0.02% seabuckthorn flavonoids group were significantly increased (P<0.05), and the serum and liver malondialdehyde content of 0.02%, 0.03% and 0.04% seabuckthorn flavonoids groups was significantly decreased (P<0.05). 5) Compared with the control group, the thymus index and contents of immunoglobulin A, immunoglobulin G, immunoglobulin M, interleukin-2 and interleukin-6 in serum of 0.02% seabuckthorn flavonoids group were significantly increased (P<0.05), and the spleen index and contents of immunoglobulin G, immunoglobulin M, interleukin-2 and interleukin-6 in serum of 0.03% seabuckthorn flavonoids group were significantly increased (P<0.05). In conclusion, dietary seabuckthorn flavonoids can improve the growth performance of meat rabbits, regulate the metabolism of cholesterol, increase the content of high-density lipoprotein and immune factors, improve the antioxidant capacity, and enhance the immune function. Under the experimental conditions, the dietary appropriate seabuckthorn flavonoids supplemental is 0.02%.

沙棘黄酮(seabuckthorn flavonoids,SF)是沙棘叶中主要的生物活性物质,具有清除自由基、抗氧化、促进动物生长发育、提高饲料利用效率、增强动物免疫力等作用[1-5]。幼兔断奶后处于生长阶段,其免疫系统和消化系统发育不完善,极易出现腹泻问题[6],且随着国家全面禁止饲料中添加促生长类抗生素添加剂,沙棘黄酮作为绿色功能性添加剂备受关注。Sharma等[7]研究发现,沙棘黄酮能够提高火鸡的生长性能,并可以提高血清球蛋白含量,增强其免疫力。孙琛等[8]研究发现,沙棘黄酮能够提高小鼠血清高密度脂蛋白(HDL)含量,并可以降低血清总胆固醇(TC)、甘油三酯(TG)和低密度脂蛋白(LDL)含量。郑伟等[9]研究发现,沙棘黄酮可以增强海兰褐壳蛋鸡的免疫功能,并且能够提高其合格蛋平均产蛋率,降低残次蛋率。饲粮中添加沙棘黄酮可以提高阿勒泰羊的生长性能,提高血清免疫因子含量,增强其免疫力[10]。目前已报道文献中对沙棘黄酮的研究主要集中在提取工艺、活性成分及其体外抗氧化能力评价,并且在动物上的应用多以猪、鸡和羊为研究对象,在肉兔饲粮中的应用尚未有文献报道。因此,本试验旨在通过饲粮中添加不同水平沙棘黄酮,研究其对肉兔生长性能、屠宰性能、血清生化指标、抗氧化能力及免疫功能的影响,确定沙棘黄酮在肉兔饲粮中适宜的添加水平,以期为沙棘黄酮在肉兔生产上的应用提供理论依据。

3 讨论

3.1 沙棘黄酮对肉兔生长性能的影响

黄酮类化合物主要存在于天然植物的根、茎、叶中,具有显著的促生长作用。研究表明,饲粮中添加适量沙棘黄酮能够提高奶牛采食量,促进其生长[14]。郑伟等[15]研究表明,在肉鸡饲粮中添加适量沙棘黄酮可以提高肉鸡的ADG和饲料转化率。本试验表明,饲粮中添加0.02%沙棘黄酮可显著提高肉兔ADFI、ADG,显著降低F/G,与前人研究结果基本一致。沙棘黄酮可以提高肉兔生长性能的原因可能是其能够调控机体甲状腺素的分泌,促进蛋白质合成,加快机体新陈代谢,调节胃肠道菌群结构,改善肠道环境,提高饲料适口性,进而提高生长性能[16-18]。沙棘黄酮能够降低肉兔腹泻率和死亡率。本试验中,对照组腹泻兔最后均死亡,各试验组肉兔发生腹泻后经休养可恢复健康,故在加强饲养管理的同时补充沙棘黄酮可降低肉兔腹泻率。肖凡等[19]研究表明,在饲粮中添加适量大豆异黄酮能够提高荷斯坦犊牛生长性能,降低腹泻率。本试验结果与其相似,与对照组相比,0.02%、0.03%和0.04%沙棘黄酮组肉兔腹泻率显著降低,这表明沙棘黄酮在调节家兔机体健康上同样发挥重要作用。综上所述,饲粮中添加0.02%沙棘黄酮时肉兔生长性能最佳。

3.2 沙棘黄酮对肉兔屠宰性能的影响

饲料加工工艺、饲料配方、疾病等影响着肉兔的生长速度,不同的生长速度会影响肉兔各项屠宰指标[20]。研究发现,在饲粮中添加0.20%沙棘黄酮后,肉鸡的屠宰率、腿肌的肉色、胸肌粗蛋白质含量极显著提高[21]。在肉鸡饲粮中添加0.10%沙棘黄酮能够提高肉鸡生长性能和屠宰性能[22]。本试验结果与之相似,在各组宰前活重差异不显著的前提下,0.02%沙棘黄酮组屠宰率、半净膛率和全净膛率均显著高于对照组。

3.3 沙棘黄酮对肉兔血清生化指标的影响

血清TP含量高时蛋白质代谢旺盛,机体新陈代谢加快,可促进动物生长,提高机体免疫功能[23]。赵萌等[24]报道,藤茶总黄酮可以提高仔猪血清TP和ALB含量,促进蛋白质代谢,提高仔猪生长速度。本试验结果与之相似,各试验组肉兔血清TP和ALB含量均高于对照组。这说明沙棘黄酮可以为血清中蛋白质合成提供能量,从而提高肉兔的生长性能和代谢水平。血清UN含量反映动物体内蛋白质代谢和氨基酸之间的均衡状态,氨基酸均衡时,血清UN含量下降[25]。在本试验中,0.02%和0.03%沙棘黄酮组肉兔UN含量显著低于对照组,但沙棘黄酮添加水平超过0.03%后血清UN含量提高,这表明沙棘黄酮具有剂量效应,适量的沙棘黄酮能够促进肉兔的生长和蛋白质沉积。目前国内外研究肉兔饲粮中添加沙棘黄酮对其影响及适宜沙棘黄酮添加水平的研究较少。血清TG、TC和LDL含量的高低反映脂类的吸收代谢及利用情况,其含量越低对脂肪的利用率越高[26]。马建爽[22]研究发现,沙棘黄酮通过调控肉仔鸡胰岛素和脂联素水平来改变血清LDL和TG含量,从而调控肌内脂肪沉积。周萍芳[27]研究发现,在饲粮中添加苜蓿黄酮可以降低麻鸡血清TG、TC和LDL含量。本试验结果与其相似,与对照组相比,各试验组肉兔血清TC、TG和LDL含量均有所降低,其中0.03%沙棘黄酮组血清TC和LDL含量显著降低;0.02%、0.03%和0.04%沙棘黄酮组血清HDL含量显著提高。这表明沙棘黄酮具有调节脂肪沉积及代谢作用,减小LDL颗粒体积,防止其过度氧化,从而减少脂肪沉积,降低血清TG、TC和LDL含量,提高血清HDL含量,改善脂类代谢。血清GLU含量可以反映机体能量平衡及营养状况,正常状态下,动物血清GLU含量应保持平衡,对于肉兔而言,其血清GLU含量应该保持在6.1 mmol/L以下[28]。本试验中,各组血清GLU含量均在正常范围区间,这表明沙棘黄酮对肉兔的能量平衡无不良影响,可以在一定程度上提升肉兔的适应与抗逆能力。综上所述,饲粮中添加0.03%沙棘黄酮可以降低肉兔血清TG、TC、LDL和UN含量,提高血清TP、ALB和HDL含量。

3.4 沙棘黄酮对肉兔血清和肝脏抗氧化指标的影响

T-AOC和SOD是反映机体抗氧化能力的直接指标[29]。在本试验中,各试验组血清及肝脏T-AOC和SOD活性均高于对照组,其中0.02%沙棘黄酮组肉兔血清和肝脏T-AOC和SOD活性均显著高于对照组。Kong等[30]研究表明,用黄酮类化合物作为饲料添加剂饲喂犊牛,机体抗氧化能力显著增强。胡芳等[31]研究发现,沙棘果渣提取物可以使小鼠血清T-AOC和SOD活性显著提高。李义等[32]研究表明,饲粮中添加竹叶黄酮对可以显著提高奶牛血清中谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶活性和T-AOC,增强奶牛的抗氧化能力。这与本试验结果相似,沙棘黄酮能够提高肉兔血清和肝脏T-AOC和SOD活性的原因,一方面可能因为沙棘黄酮直接与体内活性氧或自由基发生反应,从而保护机体避免受到损伤;另一方面可能因为沙棘黄酮通过调节体内抗氧化酶相关基因的表达,从而促进酶合成,提高血清和肝脏T-AOC和SOD活性,进而提高机体抗氧化能力。MDA含量反映氧自由基介导的脂质过氧化程度,是氧自由基引起的脂质过氧化物的降解终产物,有很强的氧化作用[33]。苏效双等[34]研究发现,苜蓿黄酮可以降低奶牛血清MDA含量,从而提高乳腺上皮细胞的抗氧化能力,增强机体抗氧化性能。本试验结果与之相似,与对照组相比,0.02%、0.03%和0.04%沙棘黄酮组肉兔血清和肝脏MDA含量均显著降低。沙棘黄酮能够降低肉兔体内MDA含量的主要原因在于沙棘黄酮的供氧和供电子能力,从而清除体内自由基,保护机体避免受到过氧化物的损伤。综上所述,饲粮中添加0.02%沙棘黄酮可以提高血清和肝脏T-AOC和SOD活性,降低血清和肝脏MDA含量。

3.5 沙棘黄酮对肉兔免疫器官指数和血清免疫指标的影响

机体内的免疫细胞大多数分布于胸腺和脾脏中,因此,胸腺指数和脾脏指数是衡量其功能的一项重要指标,免疫器官重量增加为免疫增强的表现[35-36]。本试验结果表明,与对照组相比,各试验组胸腺指数和脾脏指数均高于对照组,其中0.02%沙棘黄酮组肉兔胸腺指数最高,0.03%沙棘黄酮组肉兔脾脏指数最高。这表明沙棘黄酮在提高机体免疫器官指数上有一定的作用,能够促进免疫器官的发育。栗明月等[37]研究表明,饲粮中添加低剂量竹叶黄酮显著提高了奶牛血清IgA、IgG和IgM含量。本试验结果与之相似,与对照组相比,0.02%沙棘黄酮组血清IgA含量显著提高;0.02%、0.03%和0.04%沙棘黄酮组血清IgG含量显著提高;各试验组血清IgM含量均显著提高。这表明沙棘黄酮能够通过调节免疫球蛋白的分泌进而调节机体体液免疫。IL-2可以刺激T细胞分裂,增强T细胞的杀伤活性,提高机体免疫力。研究发现,沙棘黄酮可以提高血清IL-2含量,促进免疫器官增重,提高T细胞中CD4细胞的比例,增强肉鸡的免疫功能[21]。Mishra等[38]研究发现,沙棘黄酮可通过刺激人外周血单核细胞(PBMCs)促进IL-6生成,增强机体免疫功能。本试验研究与前人研究结果基本一致,各试验组血清IL-2和IL-6含量均显著高于对照组,其中0.02%沙棘黄酮组肉兔血清IL-2和IL-6含量最高。这表明沙棘黄酮可以促进IL-2和IL-6分泌,提高肉兔免疫功能。结合生长性能、血清生化和抗氧化指标结果,饲粮中添加0.02%沙棘黄酮可提高血清IgA、IgG、IgM、IL-2和IL-6含量,从而提高肉兔免疫力,最终有效改善肉兔生长性能。
