Abstract

The aim of this experiment was to evaluate the rumen degradation rate of rice straw fiber treated with alkaline hydrogen peroxide and its effects on rumen fermentation parameters and microbial diversity in vitro. Taking the normal rice straw as control, the rice straw fiber treated with alkaline hydrogen peroxide was fermented for 72 h in vitro and the gas production was measured at 4, 8, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 72 h, respectively. At 0.5, 4, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h, six fermentation bottles were collected from each group to determine the contents of volatile fatty acid (VFA), ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) and microbial protein (MCP), and the remaining substrate was collected for the determination of fiber degradation rate. The fermentation substrate was collected at 72 h and stored at -80 ℃ for subsequent DNA extraction and high-throughput analysis. The results showed as follows: 1) the dry matter degradation rate of rice straw fiber was 1.64 times that of rice straw at 72 h of fermentation (P<0.05), and the degradation rates of neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, cellulose and hemicellulose were significantly higher than those of rice straw (P<0.05). The dry matter degradation time of rice straw fiber was shorter than that of rice straw. Rice straw fiber degradation occurred at 4 h and rice straw degradation occurred at 12 h. 2) The scanning electron microscope results showed that compared with the rice straw, the fiber structure of rice straw was more loose, the number of microbial adhesion was more, and the digestion was more complete after 72 h of fermentation. 3) The total gas production, total volatile fatty acid content and contents of propionate and isovalerate in rice straw fiber were extremely significantly higher than those in rice straw (P<0.01), and the ratio of methane production to total gas production, the contents of butyrate, isobutyrate and valerate, and the ratio of acetate to propionate were significantly or extremely significantly lower than those in rice straw (P<0.05 or P<0.01). At 72 h of fermentation, the total bacteria number and MCP content in rice straw fiber were extremely significantly higher than those in rice straw (P<0.01), and the NH3-N content was extremely significantly lower than that in rice straw (P<0.01). 4) The α diversity results showed that the microflora diversity in rice straw fiber was significantly higher than that in rice straw (P<0.05). At the phylum level, the results of microbial difference analysis showed that there was no significant difference in phyla with relative abundance greater than 1% between rice straw fiber and rice straw (P>0.05). At the genus level, the relative abundances of Ruminococcus, Saccharofermentans and Prevotellaceae_UCG-001 in rice straw fiber were significantly lower than those in rice stalk (P<0.05), while the relative abundances of unculured_Lachnospiraceae, Probable_genus_10, Bacteroidales_F082 and Lachnospiraceae_UCG-009 were significantly higher than those in rice straw (P<0.05). In summary, the rice straw fiber is more easily degraded by microorganisms than rice straw and can generate more energy substances such as VFA, which can be used as a potential product in ruminant production.

近年来,粗纤维在畜禽饲粮中的营养以及非营养作用受到越来越多的重视。一方面,纤维能够增强肠道蠕动促进肠道生长发育和消化吸收,调控采食量;另一方面,畜禽消化道的微生物能降解粗纤维产生挥发性脂肪酸(VFA)等营养物质,为畜禽提供能量[1]。粗纤维由纤维素(35%~50%)、半纤维素(20%~35%)、木质素(5%~30%)等多种复杂多糖组成[2],其在饲粮中的含量和降解特性与饲料原料类型和处理方法有关。例如,秸秆类纤维含量大于谷实类和牧草类;粗饲料经过物理、化学和生物处理等,其纤维组成和结构会发生改变[3]
目前,在我国高投入和高产出的养殖生产模式中,饲粮中的粗纤维具有相当重要的作用,必须在饲粮中维持一定比例的粗纤维才能有利于畜禽胃肠道发育和健康,保证其生产性能。然而,粗纤维中复杂且致密的木质纤维素结构阻碍了其被畜禽胃肠道微生物降解[4],从而导致资源浪费。研究表明,饲粮成分中粗纤维含量越高,可供畜禽消化吸收的营养物质含量就越低,饲粮消化率也越低[5]。因此,有必要对秸秆类高纤维粗饲料进行有效和适当的处理来影响纤维素、半纤维素、木质素含量以及纤维的结构组成,从而改善畜禽消化道微生物的降解和营养物质的生成。
在工业性木质纤维素生物质处理中,碱性过氧化氢处理是使用最广泛的预处理方法之一,其具有反应条件温和、生产成本低以及酶消化率高等优点[6]。这类处理方法可以从木质纤维素材料中分离木质素和纤维素,并提高酶水解的效率和乙醇产量[7]。因此,本研究中从水稻秸秆经过氢氧化钠和过氧化氢处理后获得了一种高纤维含量的生物质,简称稻秸纤维。为了探究该稻秸纤维的营养价值以及降解过程,本研究采用体外产气法比较稻秸纤维与稻秸的动态降解过程及体外发酵参数,同时从微生物角度分析原因,为开发高纤维饲草资源提供新的见解。

3 讨论

3.1 稻秸纤维对瘤胃体外发酵降解率的影响

本试验中,稻秸DM在发酵12 h时开始降解,在12~24 h时降解速率最快,这与汪营[17]的研究结果一致。然而,稻秸纤维DM在发酵4 h时开始降解,在4~24 h时处于快速降解阶段;且在发酵72 h时,稻秸纤维DM降解率达到56.68%,显著高于稻秸,这意味着稻秸纤维比稻秸能够更快且更容易被瘤胃微生物降解。在发酵4 h时,稻秸纤维NDF、ADF、纤维素和半纤维素开始降解,这是稻秸纤维DM降解的主要成分。根据扫描电镜结果可以发现,稻秸表面光滑,结构紧凑;而稻秸纤维表面粗糙多孔,结构更松散。Vahidi等[18]研究发现,结构松散、比表面积大的饲草更易于微生物的定植。在微生物定植的初始阶段,只有极少量的纤维物质被降解,纤维的大量降解出现在定植阶段的后期[19]。因此,与稻秸相比,稻秸纤维缩短了微生物的定植时间,提高了DM降解速率。Zhao等[20]利用气爆处理玉米秸秆,处理后秸秆结构更加松散,提高了微生物定植以及纤维素和半纤维素的降解率。在发酵12 h时,稻秸纤维表面黏附的微生物数量大于稻秸;在发酵72 h时,稻秸纤维被降解更完全,剩余相对完整的难降解的结构,而稻秸仍有大量未降解的碎片。Yang等[21]研究发现,碱氧预处理会破坏秸秆纤维内部的共价键,暴露由木质素包裹的内部纤维素,从而提高酶解效率。稻秸纤维经过化学处理和提取,其抗性结构被破坏,内部纤维暴露,比表面积增加[22],这意味着其能提供更多的微生物黏附位点,使得酶对纤维的可及性增加。苗林平等[23]用碱性过氧化氢处理小麦秸秆酶解效率达94.18%;Liu等[24]用碱性过氧化氢处理稻秸提高了黑蝇对稻秸的利用效率。因此,稻秸纤维更有利于微生物的定植和酶解,从而提高降解速率和降解率。

3.2 稻秸纤维对瘤胃体外发酵参数的影响

本试验中,在发酵72 h时,稻秸纤维的总产气量、理论最大产气量和产气速率均极显著高于稻秸。研究表明,气体的产量和产气速率越大,代表饲草可发酵碳水化合物含量越大,微生物活性越强[25]。稻秸纤维更有利于微生物定植和酶解,因此可以使微生物能更高效地分解纤维等生物质并在此过程生成二氧化碳、氢气和甲烷等气体。马占霞[26]用氧化钙处理玉米秸秆显著提高了体外发酵的产气量。不过,与稻秸相比,尽管稻秸纤维甲烷产量增加,但甲烷产量/总产气量比例降低,这意味在稻秸和稻秸纤维为动物机体提供相同能量的情况下,稻秸纤维的甲烷产量更低。瘤胃中的VFA是反刍动物机体重要的能量来源[27]。在发酵72 h时,稻秸纤维发酵产生的总挥发性脂肪酸含量极显著高于稻秸。Ma等[28]氨化处理稻秸、梁晓伟等[29]用6%的氢氧化钙处理花棒、Wanapat等[30]用尿素和氧化钙联合处理稻秸均显著提高体外发酵总挥发性脂肪酸含量,上述研究结果与本试验结果基本一致,说明碱性过氧化氢处理的稻秸纤维能够为动物机体提供更多的能量。此外,VFA组成成分中,与稻秸相比,稻秸纤维丙酸含量提高,乙酸/丙酸比例降低,这表明瘤胃氢代谢更多的朝生成VFA方向进行,而不是生成甲烷[31],这一结论在本研究中甲烷产量/总产气量比例降低的结果中也得到初步验证。更多的VFA产生导致了发酵液中更低的pH,但始终维持在6.2~6.8的正常水平[32]。NH3-N含量与碳水化合物的利用效率有关,较高的碳水化合物利用效率导致较低的NH3-N含量[33],并且瘤胃细菌能将NH3-N整合到用于MCP合成的氨基酸中,有助于瘤胃微生物生长和繁殖,促进MCP的合成[34-35]。因此,发酵后稻秸纤维发酵液的NH3-N含量降低,MCP含量提高,并且细菌总数增加。

3.3 稻秸纤维瘤胃体外发酵微生物区系的影响

本研究中,稻秸纤维和稻秸之间的组成与结构不同,从而导致微生物多样性的不同。与稻秸相比,稻秸纤维经过72 h发酵后,发酵液中微生物物种OTU数量增加,多样性发生改变,这与李蒋伟等[36]和李希等[37]探究不同纤维比例对反刍动物瘤胃微生物多样性影响的结果一致。在门水平上,稻秸纤维和稻秸细菌菌门相对丰度无显著差异,可知与稻秸相比,稻秸纤维经过发酵后对细菌菌门组成没有影响。相对丰度大于1%的优势菌门有5个,分别为拟杆菌门、厚壁菌门、纤维杆菌门、螺旋体门和变形菌门。其中,拟杆菌门和厚壁菌门的相对丰度最高,在稻秸纤维和稻秸中分别占89.96%和88.96%,且其中的大部分细菌都与纤维降解有关[38]。在属水平上,稻秸纤维中理研菌科RC9肠道群、毛螺菌科和普雷沃氏菌属(Prevotella)是相对丰度较高的优势菌属且相对丰度高于稻秸组,但不属于差异菌属。本试验发现,与稻秸相比,稻秸纤维中与纤维生物质降解有关的普雷沃氏菌科UCG-001、瘤胃球菌属、产乙酸糖发酵菌属和拟杆菌目p-251-05等相对丰度显著降低。这与李娜[39]的研究结果一致,或许是因为稻秸纤维比稻秸更容易被降解,因此纤维分解菌的相对丰度降低。此外,聚类分析结果表明,瘤胃球菌属、产乙酸糖发酵菌属、普雷沃氏菌科UCG_001相对丰度与乙酸和丁酸含量呈正相关。
研究表明,纤维分解菌能够产乙酸、丁酸等同时伴随着氢气生成,甲烷菌可以利用氢生成甲烷[40]。因此,与纤维降解相关的菌属相对丰度降低或许是稻秸纤维中乙酸含量降低、丙酸含量提高和甲烷产量/总产气量比例降低的重要原因。稻秸纤维中未培养的毛螺菌科、Probable_genus_10、拟杆菌目F082和毛螺菌科UCG-009相对丰度显著高于稻秸。毛螺菌科可以利用果糖、纤维二糖等多种碳水化合物生产丙酸、丁酸等VFA[41]。饲粮中提高纤维含量可以提高瘤胃毛螺菌科的相对丰度[42]。因此,毛螺菌科相对丰度提高是VFA等能量物质产量提高的重要原因。微生物分析结果表明,稻秸纤维体外发酵后纤维降解菌相对丰度降低从而导致乙酸含量降低、丙酸含量提高以及甲烷产量/总产气量比例降低,而毛螺菌科相对丰度的提高是VFA含量提高的重要原因。

4 结论

与稻秸相比,稻秸纤维结构松散,有利于微生物黏附降解,体外发酵后其降解率、VFA和MCP产量显著高于稻秸,是一种具有潜力的粗饲料资源。
