Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of low energy diet supplemented with emulsifier on growth performance, serum biochemical indexes, organ development, pancreatic digestive enzyme activities and cecal microflora of broilers. A total of 180 one-day-old Arbor Acres (AA) broilers with similar body weight were randomly divided into 3 groups with 6 replicates per group and 10 broilers per replicate. Broilers in the control group were fed a basal diet, broilers in the low energy group were fed a low energy diet (reduce 0.17 MJ/kg metabolic energy based on basal feed), and broilers in the emulsifier group were fed the low energy diet supplemented with 350 mg/kg emulsifier (the main component was polyethylene glycol glycerol castor ester). The experiment lasted for 21 days. The results showed that: 1) compared with the control group, the average body weight gain of broilers aged from 21 to 28 days of the low energy group was significantly decreased (P<0.05). 2) Compared with the control group, the serum urea nitrogen (UN) content of the low energy group was significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the serum globulin (GLB) content was significantly increased (P<0.05); the serum total protein (TP) and GLB contents of the emulsifier group were significantly increased (P<0.05). 3) Compared with the control group, the abdominal adipose index of low energy group and emulsifier group was significantly increased (P<0.05). 4) Compared with the control group, the pancreatic trypsin activity of the emulsifier group was significantly increased (P<0.05). 5) Compared with the low energy group, the liver triglyceride (TG) content of the emulsifier group was significantly decreased (P<0.05). 6) Compared with the low energy group, the cecal microbiota Shannon index, Observed_features index, Faith_pd index, and Chao1 index of the emulsifier group were significantly increased (P<0.05), and the cecal Chloroflexi relative abundance was significantly increased (P<0.05). In conclusion, the low energy diet supplemented with emulsifier has a certain positive impact on the growth performance of broilers, can increase the pancreatic trypsin activity, alleviate liver fat deposition, improve the diversity of cecal microflora and the relative abundance of Chloroflexi.

随着养殖业集约化的快速发展,商品肉鸡生产周期短且对能量的需求高。油脂作为最有效的高能饲料原料被广泛使用,以满足肉鸡营养需求。油脂作为能量饲料对畜禽有着重要的营养价值和生物学功能[1]。在家禽饲粮中添加油脂可以改善其生长性能,减缓食物通过消化道的速度,并促进饲粮中其他脂溶性营养物质的吸收利用[2-4]。大量研究表明,在家禽饲粮中添加油脂可以提高饲粮的能量水平,改善家禽的生长性能,从而提高生产效率和经济效益[5-8]。但油脂添加仍然存在不足之处。家禽消化道非常短,容易出现油脂在进入肠道后得不到充分乳化的情况,再加上幼龄或老龄禽类自身胆汁酸和脂肪酶分泌不足,更不利于对油脂的消化利用,多余的脂肪还会引起畜禽腹泻[8-9]
天然或合成乳化剂,如胆盐、卵磷脂、硬脂酰乳酸钠、甘油硬脂酸酯、二酰基甘油、磷脂和山梨醇酯,可作为单一或混合形式的外源乳化剂应用于家禽饲粮中[10-14]。饲粮中添加乳化剂的主要作用是促进脂质的乳化,弥补家禽消化道中胆汁酸和脂肪酶的不足,提高家禽对油脂的利用率,减少油脂的浪费和油脂过量对动物机体造成的损害[15-18]
前期有研究发现,低能饲粮中添加乳化剂可改善肉鸡生长后期生长性能,而对于生长前期和生长中期生长性能没有影响[19]。在生长后期,肉鸡体重增长较快,需要从饲粮中获取更多的能量以维持生长需要。在饲粮配比中,生长后期饲粮中油脂占比高于生长前期。因此,本研究以爱拔益加(AA)肉鸡为试验对象,研究在降低基础饲粮代谢能的基础上添加乳化剂对肉鸡生长性能、血清生化指标、器官发育、胰腺消化酶活性和盲肠微生物区系的影响,旨在为乳化剂应用于肉鸡养殖业提供科学依据。

3.1 低能饲粮中添加乳化剂对肉鸡生长性能的影响

研究发现,饲喂低能饲粮会降低肉鸡生长性能[14,20]。与对照组相比,低能饲粮会显著降低生长前期、生长中期、生长后期以及整个试验期的体增重[19]。在本研究中,饲喂低能饲粮降低21~28日龄平均体增重。在饲粮中添加溶血磷脂和溶血卵磷脂等乳化剂,可以弥补低能饲粮导致的生长性能的下降[21-23]。Upadhaya等[4]指出,低能饲粮中添加乳化剂显著增加体增重,降低饲料转化率。有研究指出,乳化剂对生长后期肉鸡的生长性能具有明显的改善作用,与低能组相比,添加乳化剂能够显著增加肉鸡生长后期(28~42日龄)的体增重[19]。本研究中,乳化剂组的肉鸡28~35日龄平均体增重高于低能组,但差异不显著。与上述研究结果存在差异的原因可能是低能饲粮中代谢能水平的降低仍能满足动物的生长需要。此外,本研究发现,肉鸡21~42日龄的平均采食量没有受到饲粮代谢能水平的影响。一些研究也报道了饲粮代谢能的减少并不影响采食量[13-14,24-25]。但也有研究指出,降低代谢能饲粮的肉仔鸡将消耗更多的饲料来弥补能量短缺[25]。家禽可以通过控制复杂且相互关联的神经和内分泌网络来调节采食量以维持营养状态[26]。结果的不一致可能与饲粮组成和代谢能水平降低相关[14,25]

3.2 低能饲粮中添加乳化剂对肉鸡血清生化指标的影响

在肉鸡上的研究发现,与对照组相比,低能饲粮对血清TP、UN、TG和GLU含量没有显著影响,低能饲粮中添加乳化剂同样对血清生化指标没有显著影响[4]。有关樱桃谷鸭的研究也发现相似的结果,添加乳化剂对血清TG、TCHO、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇、极低密度脂蛋白胆固醇含量均无显著影响[27]。这与蛋鸭上的研究结果相一致,并且与乳化剂的添加剂量无关[9]。饲粮中添加乳化剂主要影响黄羽肉鸡在试验前期的血清TG和高密度脂蛋白含量,但对试验后期的血清TG、TCHO、高密度脂蛋白、低密度脂蛋白含量均无显著影响[28]。本研究发现,低能饲粮添加中乳化剂对血清GLU、TG、TCHO含量没有影响。结果存在差异的原因可能与动物品种、饲粮能量水平、饲喂时长有关。此外,本试验中发现,与对照组相比,低能饲粮中添加乳化剂提高了血清TP含量,说明乳化剂影响机体蛋白质代谢,值得进一步研究。

3.3 低能饲粮中添加乳化剂对肉鸡器官指数、胰腺消化酶活性和肠道发育的影响

前期已有研究探究低能饲粮中添加乳化剂对肝脏、脾脏、肌胃、腺胃和腹脂率的影响。Cho等[29]研究发现,低能饲粮中添加乳化剂对肉鸡TG、GLU含量和器官(肝脏、腹脂和肌胃)相对重量无显著影响。研究发现,低能饲粮对肉鸡肝脏、脾脏、腹脂和肌胃相对重量没有显著影响,低能饲粮中添加乳化剂同样对上述器官相对重量没有显著影响[4]。本研究发现,低能饲粮对肉鸡肝脏、脾脏、肌胃、腺胃指数没有显著影响,低能饲粮中添加乳化剂对上述器官指数亦没有显著影响。此外,本研究表明低能饲粮未对肠道发育造成影响,乳化剂的添加未见积极效果。这说明低能饲粮中代谢能的适度降低对相对器官重量未造成影响。饲粮代谢能水平仍能满足器官的正常发育,乳化剂提高了肉鸡的能量利用率,并不影响器官发育[4]。但在本研究中,低能饲粮显著增加了肉鸡腹脂指数,添加乳化剂未见改善作用。在相关研究中指出,与对照组相比,低能饲粮可降低腹脂率,添加乳化剂对腹脂率没有影响[19]。有关饲粮能量对腹脂率的影响,大多数研究结果发现,饲粮代谢能高增加脂肪沉积[30-31]。本研究发现,饲喂低能饲粮增加了肉鸡腹脂率,推测主要原因与饲粮能量水平降低相关。Chen等[32]研究发现,饲粮能量水平降低50 kcal/kg(1 kcal=4.184 kJ),腹脂率由1.42升高至1.52。这说明在饲粮能量水平降低幅度小的情况下,肉仔鸡用于维持生长所需的能量较少,更多的能量以腹脂的形式储存。
动物肠道对油脂的消化依赖胆汁酸的乳化作用和脂肪酶的催化,二者存在协同关系,外源乳化剂的添加可能通过参与该进程干预消化酶的分泌和活性。前人研究表明,饲粮中添加650 mg/kg乳化剂显著增加肉鸡十二指肠、空肠和回肠的脂肪酶活性[33]。胡玲[34]研究报道,在肉鸡前期、后期饲粮中分别添加265、400 mg/kg乳化剂能够提高十二指肠和空肠的脂肪酶活性。此外,无论基础饲粮和低能饲粮饲喂的黄羽肉鸡,十二指肠淀粉酶和糜蛋白酶活性均受到乳化剂添加影响而增强[28]。本研究中,与对照组相比,低能饲粮未影响胰腺消化酶活性,而乳化剂的添加显著提高胰腺中胰蛋白酶活性,推测乳化剂的添加提高了蛋白质的消化。溶血卵磷脂有降低肝脏TG含量的作用[35]。这与本研究的结果一致,本研究中,与低能组相比,乳化剂的添加降低了肝脏TG含量。脂肪在组织中主要以TG的形式存在。TG的一般合成部位是肝脏与脂肪组织,但是与哺乳动物不同的是,家禽的TG合成主要由肝脏完成[36]。本研究结果说明,低能饲粮中添加乳化剂能够降低肝脏TG的合成,缓解脂肪代谢异常。

3.4 低能饲粮中添加乳化剂对肉鸡盲肠微生物区系的影响

家禽肠道的特点是长度较短,食物在肠道中的消化时间都较短,但相对于小肠,盲肠内的消化时间更长[37]。盲肠是肉鸡重要的肠道部位,其中的微生物群参与调节宿主代谢和免疫调节,包括营养物质的消化吸收、维持能量平衡和机体免疫系统的发育[38]。盲肠是家禽肠道微生物活动的主要区域,可以衡量肉鸡肠道微生物丰度[39]。细菌种类丰富程度与肠道微生态的稳定性有关[40]。盲肠菌群丰富度越高,肉鸡生长性能越好[41]。因此,本试验分析了乳化剂对盲肠微生物区系的影响。前期有研究表明,蛋鸭饲粮中添加100、150、200 g/t乳化剂均对盲肠微生物α多样性和β多样性无显著差异[9]。在本研究中,与低能组相比,添加乳化剂提高了α多样性,表现在Shannon指数、Observed_features指数、Faith_pd指数和Chao1指数显著提高。此外,在本研究中,β多样性指数表明2组之间有很好的分离。总体而言,低能饲粮中添加乳化剂影响了盲肠微生物群落的多样性。大多数研究认为,α多样性较高的肠道菌群更有利于机体健康[42-43]。在肉鸡盲肠肠道菌群中,厚壁菌门、拟杆菌门和变形菌门是其优势菌门,其中厚壁菌门相对丰度最高[44-45]。本研究发现,在门水平上,盲肠厚壁菌门相对丰度最高,拟杆菌门次之,但各组之间差异不显著。绿弯菌门可以代谢碳水化合物(单、双以及多糖),产生短链脂肪酸(SCFAs)[46]。在本试验中,与对照组和低能组相比,乳化剂组的盲肠绿弯菌门相对丰度显著升高。红色杆菌属属于放线菌门,有研究发现,注射脂多糖(LPS)显著降低了空肠红色杆菌属相对丰度,提示该菌属可能与炎症反应相关[47]。本试验中,添加乳化剂增加了盲肠红色杆菌属相对丰度,有助于缓解炎症反应。

4 结论

低能饲粮中添加乳化剂对肉鸡生长性能存在一定的积极影响,提高胰腺中胰蛋白酶活性,缓解肝脏脂肪沉积,提高盲肠菌群多样性和绿弯菌门相对丰度。
