Abstract

This study aimed to study the effects of dietary Clostridium butyricum, glucose oxidase and rosemary extract formulas on growth performance, slaughter performance, immune function and cecal microflora of meat rabbits, and to provide a theoretical reference for the research and development of anti-feed additives in rabbits. A total 500 commercial Hyla rabbits (half male and female) weaned at 28-day-old were randomly divided into 5 groups with 10 replicates in each group and 10 rabbits in each replicate. Rabbits in the control group (group Ⅰ) were fed a basal diet, and others in experimental groups were fed basal diets supplemented with 100 g/t Clostridium butyrinate+1 kg/t rosemary extract (group Ⅱ), 100 g/t Clostridium butyrinate+100 g/t glucose oxidase (group Ⅲ), 1 kg/t rosemary extract+100 g/t glucose oxidase (group Ⅳ) and 100 g/t Clostridium butyrate+1 kg/t rosemary extract+100 g/t glucose oxidase (group Ⅴ), respectively. The pre-experimental period lasted for 7 days, and the experimental period lasted for 30 days. The results showed as follows: 1) the final body weight, average daily gain and survival rate of group Ⅴ were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05), and the diarrhea rate was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). The pre-slaughter body weight of group Ⅴ was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). 2) The duodenal glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity of groups Ⅱ, Ⅳ and Ⅴ was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05), the duodenal malondialdehyde (MDA) content of groups Ⅳ and Ⅴ was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05), and the duodenal total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) of groups Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ and Ⅴ was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). 3) The jejunal villus height of group Ⅴ was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). 4) The ileal mucosal secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) content of groups Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ and Ⅴ was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05), and the ileal mucosal interferon-γ (IFN-γ) content was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05); the ileal mucosal tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) of group Ⅴ was significantly higher than that of other groups (P<0.05). 5) The cecal Verrucomicrobiota relative abundance of groups Ⅲ and Ⅴ was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05), and the cecal Acidobacteriota relative abundance of groups Ⅲ, Ⅳ and Ⅴ was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). The relative abundances of Akkermansia, Monoglobus and Verrucomicrobium_UCG-010 in cecum of group Ⅴ were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05), and the cecal Massilia relative abundance of groups Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ and Ⅴ was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). In conclusion, dietary Clostridium butyricum, glucose oxidase and rosemary extract formulas can improve the growth performance, intestinal morphology, cecal microflora, intestinal mucosal immune function and antioxidant capacity of Hyla meat rabbits, which is beneficial to maintain intestinal health and improve the survival rate.

消化道疾病是家兔最为多发的疾病之一,仔兔腹泻是困扰家兔生产的一个重大问题,尤其是在断奶阶段[1-2]。抗生素曾被广泛用于预防和治疗动物消化道疾病,这不仅导致养殖成本增加,而且会影响产品质量。随着人们对环境保护及食品安全的关注,抗生素作为生长促进剂在畜禽养殖中所造成的副作用日益增加。我国也于2020年全面禁止在饲料中添加抗生素,因此,抗生素替代物的开发利用成为当务之急[3]。益生菌、酶制剂和植物提取物具有绿色、安全、生态等突出优点,成为新型饲料添加剂的首选。益生菌能够调节动物肠道菌群平衡,发挥预防及治疗疾病的功效。饲粮中添加丁酸梭菌(Clostridium butyricum)等益生菌能够改善猪、家兔、鲈鱼等动物肠道菌群组成,提高机体抗氧化能力和免疫功能,对维持肠道健康具有重要意义[4-6]。葡萄糖氧化酶(glucose oxidase)是一种有氧脱氢酶,能够催化β-D-葡萄糖氧化为葡萄糖酸和过氧化氢。Wang等[7]研究表明,饲粮中单独添加葡萄糖氧化酶及分解淀粉芽孢杆菌SC06与葡萄糖氧化酶配合使用可提高肉鸡抗氧化能力和免疫功能,改善肠道菌群组成,且分解淀粉芽孢杆菌SC06与葡萄糖氧化酶配合使用的效果优于单独添加葡萄糖氧化酶。迷迭香(Rosmarinus officinalis L.)提取物作为一种重要的植物提取物,具有多种药理和生物活性。饲粮中添加迷迭香提取物可以改善断奶仔猪的生长性能、营养物质消化率、抗氧化能力、肠道形态和微生物区系,适宜添加剂量为200 mg/kg[8]。此外,迷迭香提取物作为肉兔饲料添加剂能够降低兔肉中胆固醇含量,增加肌肉营养价值,提高肌肉抗氧化能力[9]。Yadollahi等[10]研究了饲料中添加维生素E、益生菌、虾青素或迷迭香提取物对虹鳟鱼生长性能、血液学指标、抗氧化和肝脏酶活性的影响,结果表明饲料中添加维生素E(50 μg/kg)复配迷迭香提取物(50 mg/kg)或杆菌益生菌(500 mg/kg)可以有效地维持虹鳟鱼的健康状况。本试验在前期开展的丁酸梭菌、迷迭香提取物等单品的试验结果[5,9]基础上,探讨饲粮中添加丁酸梭菌、葡萄糖氧化酶和迷迭香提取物组方对肉兔生长性能、屠宰性能、免疫功能和盲肠微生物区系的影响,为家兔新型、绿色、安全的替抗产品研发提供理论参考。

3 讨论

益生菌、酶制剂和植物提取物具有绿色、安全、生态等突出优点,成为新型绿色饲料添加剂的首先。丁酸梭菌能够代性产生丁酸,具有广泛的生物学功能,饲粮中添加丁酸梭菌可改善生猪、家禽和反刍动物的生长性能[13-15]。葡萄糖氧化酶作为一种需氧脱氢酶,能够氧化分解葡萄糖产生葡萄糖酸,促进动物肠道健康,提高生长性能。饲粮中添加葡萄糖氧化酶能够提高肉仔鸡生长性能、回肠表观氨基酸消化率和回肠微生物区系,且分解淀粉芽孢杆菌SC06与葡萄糖氧化酶配合使用效果优于单独添加葡萄糖氧化酶[7,16]。迷迭香提取物具有多种药理和生物活性,饲粮中添加迷迭香提取物可以改善动物的生长性能、营养物质消化率、抗氧化能力和免疫功能[8-10]。本研究发现,饲粮中添加丁酸梭菌、葡萄糖氧化酶和迷迭香提取物组方能够提高肉兔生长性能,降低腹泻率,这与前人研究报道基本一致。
丁酸梭菌具有抑制肠道致病菌侵入的功能,在维持动物肠道健康方面发挥重要调节作用[17-20]。此外,Huang等[21]研究报道,在家兔饲粮中添加丁酸梭菌能够提高小肠肠绒毛高度和促进回肠sIgA的分泌。饲粮中添加葡萄糖氧化酶可以促进肠道屏障的完整性,对改善霉菌毒素造成肉鸡肝脏氧化应激具有一定缓解功能[22-23]。迷迭香提取物中含有较高的多酚及黄酮含量,具有较大的自由基清除活性,迷迭香提取物可能通过增加抗氧化能力减少应激对虹鳟鱼的影响[24-26]。Hadree等[27]研究报道迷迭香提取物和维生素E具有降低氧化应激和激活新西兰白兔的抗氧化保护作用。本研究发现,饲粮中添加丁酸梭菌、葡萄糖氧化酶和迷迭香提取物组方对能够提高肉兔小肠绒毛高度、抗氧化能力和sIgA含量,对维持肠道健康具有重要作用。
家兔盲肠内富含大量微生物,在营养物质消化、吸收、代谢和肠黏膜免疫调节中发挥重要作用,饲粮营养物质含量和种类是影响笼养家兔盲肠微生物区系组成的重要因素[28-30]。在门水平上,家兔盲肠内容物相对丰度最大是厚壁菌门,其次是拟杆菌门,厚壁菌门与碳水化合物和蛋白质的吸收有关,拟杆菌门主要是促进碳水化合物发酵、吸收和降解多糖,这两大菌门的稳定对促进肉兔肠道健康十分重要[31-32]。大量研究表明,丁酸梭菌可通过增加牛、猪、鸭等动物肠道微生物菌群多样性,增强肠道屏障功能和免疫系统[33-35]。此外,饲粮中添加250 U/kg葡萄糖氧化酶也可以提高肉仔鸡第22~42天的生长性能,这与肠道形态、短链脂肪酸组成和回肠微生物组成的改变有关[16]。本研究发现,饲粮中添加丁酸梭菌、葡萄糖氧化酶和迷迭香提取物组方能够影响肉兔盲肠微生物菌群中疣微菌门和酸杆菌门相对丰度,影响肉兔盲肠微生物菌群中克曼菌属、果胶单核菌属、马赛菌属和疣微菌属UCG-010相对丰度。然而,目前家兔盲肠微生物菌属的变化与生长性能的关系尚不清楚。因此,需要更多的研究来理解家兔生长性能和盲肠内各种微生物群之间的相互关系。

4 结论

饲粮中添加丁酸梭菌、葡萄糖氧化酶和迷迭香提取物组方能够改善肉兔小肠形态结构和盲肠微生物区系,提高肠道黏膜免疫功能和机体抗氧化能力,有益于维持肠道健康,降低腹泻率,提高生长性能。
