Abstract

This experiment was conducted to explore the effects of three probiotics combined with acidifiers on growth performance, antioxidant capacity and intestinal health of broilers, aiming to provide evidence for the combination of probiotics and acidifiers. A total of 875 male Arbor Acres broilers of 1-day-old were randomly divided into 5 groups as control group (CON group), acidifier group (ACI group), acidifier+Bacillus licheniformis group (ACI+BL group), acidifier+Bacillus coagulans group (ACI+BC group) and acidifier+Clostridium butyricum group (ACI+CB group) with 7 replicates per group and 25 broilers per replicate. Broilers in CON group were fed a basal diet, those in ACI group were fed a basal diet supplemented with 250 mg/kg acidifier, and those in ACI+BL group, ACI+BC group and ACI+CB group were fed the basal diet supplemented with 250 mg/kg acidifier as well as Bacillus licheniformis (1 to 21 days of age, 9×109 CFU/kg; 22 to 42 days of age, 3×109 CFU/kg), Bacillus coagulans (1 to 21 days of age, 3.0×1010 CFU/kg; 22 to 42 days of age, 1.0×1010 CFU/kg) and Clostridium butyricum (1 to 21 days of age, 1.5×109 CFU/kg; 22 to 42 days of age, 0.5×109 CFU/kg), respectively. The experiment lasted for 42 days. The results showed as follows: 1) compared with CON group, the average daily gain (ADG) of broilers from 1 to 21 days of age, the villus height to crypt depth ratio (V/C) in jejunum at 21 days of age, and the lipid activity in jejunum and the zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) mRNA relative expression level in jejunal mucosa at 42 days of age in ACI group were significantly increased (P<0.05); the bursa of Fabricius index at 21 days of age, the serum catalase (CAT) activity at 42 days of age, the villus height (VH) in ileum at 21 days of age, the V/C in jejunum and ileum at 21 and 42 days of age, and the activities lipase and trypsin in jejunum and ZO-1 mRNA relative expression level in jejunal mucosa at 42 days of age in ACI+BL group were significantly increased (P<0.05); the ADG from 1 to 21 days of age, the bursa of Fabricius index and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activity in serum at 21 days of age, the activities of CAT and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in serum at 42 days of age, the VH in ileum at 21 days of age, the V/C in jejunum and ileum at 21 and 42 days of age, and the activities of lipase and trypsin in jejunum and mRNA relative expression levels of ZO-1, nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), SOD and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in jejunal mucosa at 21 and 42 days of age in ACI+BC group were significantly increased (P<0.05), while the ratio of feed to gain (F/G) in each growth stage and the malondialdehyde (MDA) content in serum as well as the mRNA relative expression levels of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in jejunal mucosa at 42 days of age were significantly decreased (P<0.05); the ADG from 1 to 21 days of age, the activities of CAT and SOD in serum at 42 days of age, the V/C in jejunum and ileum at 21 and 42 days of age, and the relative mRNA expression levels of ZO-1 and Nrf2 in jejunum mucosa at 42 days of age in ACI+CB group were significantly increased (P<0.05), while the F/G in each growth stage and the TNF-α mRNA relative expression level in jejunum mucosa at 42 days of age were significantly decreased (P<0.05). 2) Compared with ACI group, the bursa of Fabricius index and GPX activity in serum of broilers at 21 days of age, the activities of CAT and SOD in serum at 42 days of age, the VH in ileum at 21 days of age, the V/C in ileum at 42 days of age, and the trypsin activity in jejunum and mRNA relative expression levels of ZO-1, SOD and IL-10 in jejunum mucosa at 42 days of age in ACI+BC group were significantly increased (P<0.05), while the MDA content in serum and NF-κB mRNA relative expression level in jejunum mucosa at 42 days of age were significantly decreased (P<0.05); the activities of CAT and SOD in serum and the V/C in jejunum and ileum at 42 days of age in ACI+CB group were significantly increased (P<0.05). In conclusion, the combination of probiotics and acidifiers can improve growth performance, immunity, antioxidant capacity and intestinal health of broilers, and the effect is better than that of acidifier alone. The mechanism of combining probiotics with acidifiers to improve intestinal health may be related to promoting the Nrf2 antioxidant pathway and inhibiting the expression of NF-κB inflammatory pathway related factors. Under the experimental conditions, the combination of Bacillus coagulans and acidifier has a better effect.

饲用抗生素具有抑制有害细菌增殖和提高动物生长性能等特性,在过去几十年里极大的推动了畜牧业的发展。然而,抗生素的过度使用造成耐药性细菌的出现、畜禽产品及环境抗生素污染问题,影响畜禽业的健康发展和人类健康。为此,欧盟、美国等主要发达国家和地区相继颁布了禁止在饲料中添加抗生素的条令。我国农业农村部于2019年发布了第194号公告,全面禁止了生产含有除中药类外促生长类饲料添加剂的商品饲料。因此,寻找绿色、安全的抗生素替代品及综合替代方案已成为当前的研究热点。不过,当前仍未开发出能完全替代饲用抗生素的单一的饲料添加剂,将2种或2种以上的具有替抗功能的添加剂联合使用是当前行业普遍采用的替抗手段[1]。其中,酸化剂和益生菌具有替抗潜能,已作为饲用抗生素的替代品广泛用于动物生产[2]。研究表明,大多数致病菌在pH接近7的环境下更易存活[3]。与之相反,有益菌具有一定的耐酸能力,在pH 5.8~6.2的环境下具有更强的增殖能力[4]。酸化剂具有降低胃肠道pH的作用,有利于有益菌的生长,这为其可促进益生菌的应用效果奠定了理论基础。刁蓝宇等[5]和曹要玲等[6]研究发现,益生菌与酸化剂联合使用可显著提高肉鸡的生长性能和肉品质。在蛋鸭[7]和鱼[8]上的研究表明,“酸化剂+益生菌”的组合方案在增强机体免疫力和提高肠道健康方面具有积极的效应。然而,益生菌种类繁多,不同益生菌与酸化剂组合使用具有更好的应用效果尚不明确,值得深入探究。芽孢杆菌可产生抗应激能力强的孢子,相较于乳酸杆菌等其他类型的益生菌而言能更有效地应对饲料储存、运输和加工等过程,从而更易成功定植于肠道中,发挥其改善肠道健康、促进动物免疫功能和生长的功能[9],因此,芽孢杆菌类益生菌当前被畜牧生产中被广泛应用。为此,本研究选取同为芽孢杆菌类益生菌的地衣芽孢杆菌、凝结芽胞杆菌和丁酸梭菌分别与酸化剂联合使用,考察其对肉鸡生长性能、抗氧化能力和肠道健康的影响,从而筛选出与酸化剂联合使用具有最佳效果的益生菌,为在肉鸡生产中更加合理应用益生菌提供理论依据。

1.2 饲养管理

本试验采用3层笼养的方式进行分阶段饲养。试验第1周鸡舍温度控制在(35±1) ℃,之后开始逐步降温,每周降温2~3 ℃,直到最终温度达到(22±1) ℃。鸡舍相对湿度保持在55%~65%。饲养全期鸡只自由采食和饮水,常规免疫。每日记录肉鸡采食量和死亡淘汰情况。

1.3 样品采集

分别于肉鸡21和42日龄,在每个重复中选择接近平均体重的1只鸡进行采血后屠宰。血液样本在4 ℃条件下以3 000×g离心15 min后获得血清,保存于-20 ℃低温冰箱中用于后续抗氧化相关指标的测定;将胸腺、脾脏和法氏囊分离并放置在电子秤上称重;分别从十二指肠、空肠和回肠的中间部分切下约2 cm长的肠段,生理盐水冲洗后,保存在10%福尔马林溶液中,用于观测肠道形态结构;收集十二指肠、空肠和回肠内容物样品,用于测定消化酶活性;刮取剩余空肠段黏膜,放置于-80 ℃下保存,用于后续基因表达分析。

1.4 检测指标及方法

1.4.1 生长性能

记录肉鸡的每日饲粮采食量,并在试验第1、21和42天以重复为单位称量肉鸡的体重。根据收集的肉鸡体重和饲粮采食量数据,计算各组的平均日增重(ADG)、平均日采食量(ADFI)和料重比(F/G)。

1.4.2 免疫器官指数

将上述称重后的免疫器官(胸腺、脾脏和法氏囊)按照以下公式计算免疫器官指数:
免疫器官指数(g/kg)=免疫器官重量(g)/宰前肉鸡活体重量(kg)。

1.4.3 血清抗氧化指标

取储存于-20 ℃冰箱的血清样品,依照南京建成生物工程研究所生产的试剂盒说明书测定血清过氧化氢酶(CAT)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GPX)活性和总抗氧化能力(T-AOC)以及丙二醛(MDA)含量。

1.4.4 肠道形态结构

将保存于福尔马林溶液中的小肠段经过脱水、清理、切片及苏木精-伊红染色后,在光学显微镜下测量小肠绒毛高度(villus height,VH)和隐窝深度(crypt depth,CD),并计算绒隐比(绒毛高度/隐窝深度,V/C)。

1.4.5 肠道消化酶活性

将冻存于-80 ℃的肠道内容物样品取出,于4 ℃条件下解冻。参照南京建成生物工程研究所检测试剂盒说明书,称取一定质量内容物,在生理盐水中用全自动样品快速研磨仪匀浆破碎,制备组织匀浆液。在4 ℃、3 000 r/min条件下,离心10 min,取上清液,测定淀粉酶、脂肪酶和胰蛋白酶活性。

1.4.6 空肠黏膜相关基因表达

本研究前期测定的小肠形态结构和消化酶活性结果表明,益生菌与酸化剂联用对空肠具有最优效果,故选用空肠来进一步研究其可能的作用机制。使用Trizol试剂(Yeasen Biotechnology)提取空肠黏膜中的总RNA,然后将总RNA按照逆转录试剂盒(Yeasen Biotechnology)反转录为cDNA。测定基因包括:闭合小环蛋白-1(ZO-1)、闭锁蛋白(occludin)、核因子E2相关因子2(Nrf2)、GPXSODCAT、核因子-κB(NF-κB)、白细胞介素-6(IL-6)、白细胞介素-10(IL-10)、白细胞介素1β(IL-1β)和肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)。引物序列参见课题组前期成果[10],基因信息及引物序列见表2。所有引物均由南京擎科生物科技有限公司合成,在ABI 7500 Real-Time PCR系统(Applied Biosystems,美国)上进行实时荧光定量PCR。PCR体系和热循环条件参照本课题组前期研究[11]进行设置。以β-肌动蛋白(β-actin)为内参基因,采用2-ΔΔCt法计算靶基因mRNA相对表达量。

3 讨论

3.1 益生菌与酸化剂联用对肉鸡生长性能的影响

Ragaa等[12]研究发现,在肉鸡饲粮中使用富马酸可以提高其ADG,并降低F/G。许丽惠[13]研究表明,使用复合酸化剂可显著提高黄羽肉鸡的终末体重。本研究表明,在饲粮中添加酸化剂可提高肉鸡1~21日龄ADG。Salehi等[8]研究表明,丙酸和芽孢杆菌混合物联用可显著提高亚洲鲈鱼的饲料转化率。Fatufe等[14]研究证实,饲喂含有有机酸和益生菌混合物的饲粮对提高肉鸡ADFI和饲料转化率具有显著效果。然而,也有研究人员发现,联合使用酸化剂和益生菌并不能改善肉鸡生长性能[15]。这种差异可能是由于添加剂量、酸化剂和益生菌的种类以及试验环境等不同所导致的。在本试验中,与CON组相比,“酸化剂+地衣芽孢杆菌”的组合并不能改善肉鸡的生长性能,而酸化剂与凝结芽孢杆菌或丁酸梭菌联合使用均提高了肉鸡的ADG,并降低了F/G。此外,本研究还发现,酸化剂与凝结芽孢杆菌的组合在提高肉鸡生长性能方面表现出了最佳的效果。

3.2 益生菌与酸化剂联用对肉鸡免疫器官指数的影响

免疫器官的相对重量可以用来反映动物免疫状态[16]。Yang等[17]研究发现,在肉仔鸡的饲粮中添加酸化剂可显著提高其脾脏指数。在本试验中,ACI组和CON组之间肉鸡的免疫器官指数并无显著差异,这与许金根等[18]报道的结果一致。产生这种差异的原因或许是试验中选用的酸化剂种类不同引起的。本研究表明,酸化剂与地衣芽孢杆菌或凝结芽孢杆菌联合使用对21日龄肉鸡的法氏囊指数具有显著提高作用,但3种益生菌与酸化剂的组合对42日龄肉鸡的免疫器官指数无显著作用,这可能是由于肉鸡早期免疫力低下,免疫系统尚处于快速发育阶段,对于营养调控更加敏感所致。因此,益生菌与酸化剂联合使用可促进早期肉鸡免疫器官的发育,从而提高其免疫能力,利于肉鸡的健康生长。然而,不同的益生菌与酸化剂配伍的效果有明显差异,本试验条件下凝结芽孢杆菌与酸化剂的组合表现出了较好的效果。

3.3 益生菌与酸化剂联用对肉鸡抗氧化能力的影响

抗氧化酶活性反映了机体对氧化应激的抵抗水平,与动物的免疫功能亦密切相关。本研究观察到酸化剂对提高肉鸡抗氧化能力无显著影响,这与Wang等[19]的研究结果一致。Wu等[20]在哺乳母猪上的研究表明,益生菌(成分为乳酸杆菌和酵母菌)与复合酸化剂联用可显著提高其血清SOD活性。Salehi等[8]发现丙酸与芽孢杆菌混合物联用可显著提高鲈鱼肝脏中谷胱甘肽硫转移酶的活性。本研究表明,地衣芽孢杆菌、凝结芽孢杆菌或丁酸梭菌与酸化剂联合应用增强了肉鸡的抗氧化能力。此外,数据亦显示,凝结芽孢杆菌或丁酸梭菌与酸化剂组合在提高抗氧化能力方面的效果更佳,这可能与凝结芽孢杆菌可产生具有极强抗氧化活性的胞外多糖及丁酸梭菌可产生消除活性氧并增强抗氧化酶活性的氢气有关[21-22]

3.4 益生菌与酸化剂联用对肉鸡肠道形态结构的影响

VH和V/C提高以及CD降低可作为评估肠道完整性的重要标准[23]。Giannenas等[24]研究发现,饲喂含有0.3%苯甲酸的饲粮可提高肉鸡空肠VH。沈一茹等[25]研究发现,酸化剂可提高肉鸡42日龄空肠V/C。本试验表明,酸化剂显著提高了肉鸡空肠V/C。Elhassan等[26]研究发现,酸化剂与益生菌联用对肉鸡小肠形态无显著影响;而另一项研究发现,有机酸与益生菌(主要成分为产孢乳杆菌和酿酒酵母)联用可提高其小肠VH[27]。出现这些差异的原因可能是试验中使用的酸化剂和益生菌类型不同所导致的。本研究表明,3种益生菌和酸化剂联合使用均显著改善了肉鸡空肠和回肠形态结构。在鱼上的研究观察到,与单独使用酸化剂相比,酸化剂与益生菌联合使用可显著提高其小肠VH和降低CD[28]。与此一致,本试验结果表明,与单独使用酸化剂相比,凝结芽孢杆菌或丁酸梭菌与酸化剂联合使用对改善肉鸡空肠和回肠形态结构具有显著的促进作用。此外,本研究还发现,酸化剂与凝结芽孢杆菌的组合对改善小肠形态结构具有最佳效果。

3.5 益生菌与酸化剂联用对肉鸡肠道消化酶活性的影响

消化酶活性的高低对营养物质消化及动物的生长具有重要意义[29]。刘新泽等[30]研究发现,酸化剂可提高肉鸡腺胃和肌胃胃蛋白酶活性。本研究表明,饲粮中添加酸化剂可提高肉鸡空肠脂肪酶活性。前人研究表明,益生菌与复合酸化剂(富马酸、甲酸、丙酸和柠檬酸)联合使用对增强肉鸡小肠的消化酶活性无显著效果[31]。然而,本试验观察到,相较于CON组,酸化剂与地衣芽孢杆菌或凝结芽孢杆菌联合使用可显著增强空肠脂肪酶和胰蛋白酶活性,这与Kalantarian等[28]在鱼上的研究结果类似。此外,本研究亦发现,与酸化剂相比,酸化剂与凝结芽孢杆菌的组合可显著增强肉鸡空肠胰蛋白酶活性。综合来看,在本试验条件下,酸化剂与凝结芽孢杆菌组合在提高小肠消化酶活性方面效果最佳。

3.6 益生菌与酸化剂联用对肉鸡空肠紧密连接蛋白相关基因表达的影响

ZO-1和occludin是肠道黏膜中最重要的紧密连接蛋白,在维持肠道屏障功能方面起着至关重要的作用[32]。本试验发现,饲粮中添加酸化剂可上调肉鸡空肠黏膜ZO-1的mRNA相对表达量,这与前人的研究结果[33]一致。蒲俊宁[34]研究发现,苯甲酸与凝结芽孢杆菌组合可显著提高仔猪空肠黏膜occludin的mRNA相对表达量。本研究表明,酸化剂与地衣芽孢杆菌、凝结芽孢杆菌或丁酸梭菌联用均可提高空肠黏膜ZO-1的mRNA相对表达量,但对空肠黏膜occludin的mRNA相对表达量无显著影响。此外,本研究还观察到,相比单独使用酸化剂,酸化剂与凝结芽孢杆菌联合使用可显著提高空肠黏膜ZO-1的mRNA相对表达量,提示酸化剂和凝结芽孢杆菌的组合在保护肠道屏障方面具有更佳效果。

3.7 益生菌与酸化剂联用对42日龄肉鸡空肠Nrf2抗氧化通路和NF-κB炎症通路相关基因表达的影响

增强肠道抗氧化能力对维持其结构完整性至关重要[35]。Nrf2是调控SODCAT等抗氧化酶基因表达的关键转录因子,Nrf2信号通路表达情况与抗氧化能力密切相关[36]。Bai等[35]报道称,枯草芽孢杆菌可提高肉鸡空肠中Nrf2和SOD的mRNA表达水平。体外研究显示,凝结芽孢杆菌可通过激活Nrf2信号通路来上调CATSOD mRNA表达水平,从而缓解氧化应激[37]。然而,关于益生菌与酸化剂联用对肉鸡小肠Nrf2信号通路的影响鲜见报道。本研究发现,酸化剂与凝结芽孢杆菌或丁酸梭菌联用可显著提高肉鸡空肠黏膜Nrf2的mRNA相对表达量;另外,酸化剂与凝结芽孢杆菌联用还可上调肉鸡空肠黏膜SOD的mRNA相对表达量,提示“酸化剂+凝结芽孢杆菌”的组合可能具有激活Nrf2信号通路,提高肠道抗氧化能力的作用。NF-κB作为转录因子可调控多种炎症相关分子的表达,在免疫炎症反应中起着关键作用[38]。前人研究表明,Nrf2信号通路的激活可抑制NF-κB信号通路,上调抗炎因子基因[白细胞介素-4(IL-4)和IL-10]的表达和下调促炎因子基因(IL-1βTNF-α)的表达,从而增强机体免疫力[39]。Jiang等[40]研究发现,脑受损的小鼠在敲除Nrf2后,NF-κB的活性增强,进而导致炎症因子IL-6、TNF-α和IL-1β水平的提高。本研究发现,酸化剂与凝结芽孢杆菌或丁酸梭菌联用可显著下调肉鸡空肠TNF-α的mRNA相对表达量,这可能与Nrf2信号通路的激活有关。蒲俊宁[34]研究表明,苯甲酸与凝结芽孢杆菌组合使用可降低大肠杆菌攻毒仔猪空肠黏膜NF-κB p65表达水平。本研究亦发现,酸化剂与凝结芽孢杆菌联用可显著下调NF-κB的mRNA相对表达量,提示“酸化剂+凝结芽孢杆菌”的组合在抑制NF-κB通路激活和降低肠道炎症反应方面具有较优的效果。综合上述结果,酸化剂与凝结芽孢杆菌联合使用可能通过激活Nrf2信号通路和抑制NF-κB通路激活来改善肠道健康,但仍需开展进一步研究。

4 结论

① 益生菌与酸化剂联用能够提高肉鸡生长性能、免疫力和抗氧化能力,改善肠道健康,且效果优于单独使用酸化剂。
② 益生菌与酸化剂联用改善肠道健康的机制可能与其上调紧密连接蛋白相关基因表达量、激活Nrf2信号通路和抑制NF-κB信号通路过度活化有关。
③ 在本试验条件下,凝结芽孢杆菌与酸化剂联合使用表现出更佳效果。
