Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different dietary whole plant forage mulberry addition ratios on growth performance, slaughter performance, meat quality, serum antioxidant indices and nutrient apparent digestibility of Chuanbai Rex rabbits, and to determine the appropriate addition ratio of forage mulberry as a non-conventional feed fiber source in the diet for Chuanbai Rex rabbits. A total of 150 Chuanbai Rex rabbits of 35-day-old with good health, similar body weight and similar genetic background (half male and half female) were randomly divided into 5 groups with 30 replicates per group and 1 rabbit per replicate. Rabbits in the control group were fed a basal diet, and those in the experimental groups were fed the basal diet supplemented with 6%, 12%, 18% and 24% forage mulberry, respectively. The pre-trial period lasted for 7 days and the experimental period lasted for 32 days. The results showed as follows: 1) different dietary ratios of whole plant forage mulberry had no significant effects on the final body weight and average daily gain of Chuanbai Rex rabbits (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the average daily feed intake in experimental groups was significantly decreased (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference among experimental groups (P>0.05); the ratio of feed to gain in 6% and 24% addition groups was significantly decreased (P<0.05). 2) The eviscerated ratio and semi-eviscerated ratio of Chuanbai Rex rabbits showed a trend of decreasing first and then increasing with the increase of forage mulberry addition ratio. Compared with the control group, there were no significant differences in the eviscerated ratio and semi-eviscerated ratio in experimental groups (P>0.05), but the eviscerated ratio and semi-eviscerated ratio in 24% addition group were significantly higher than those in 18% addition group (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the spleen index in 12% addition group was significantly increased (P<0.05); the heart index in 12% addition group was significantly higher than that in 6% addition group (P<0.05). 3) Different dietary ratios of whole plant forage mulberry had no significant effects on the drip loss ratio and cooked meat ratio in muscle of Chuanbai Rex rabbits (P>0.05), but significantly increased the crude protein content in muscle (P<0.05), and significantly decreased the ether extract content in muscle (P<0.05). 4) Compared with the control group, the serum total antioxidant capacity of Chuanbai Rex rabbits in 24% addition group was significantly increased (P<0.05), the serum catalase activity in experimental groups was significantly increased (P<0.05), and the serum total bile acid content in 12%, 18% and 24% addition groups was significantly decreased (P<0.05). 5) The apparent digestibility of each nutrient showed a trend of increasing first and then decreasing with the increase of forage mulberry addition ratio. Compared with the control group, the apparent digestibilities of dry matter, crude protein, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, ether extract and crude ash in 12% addition group were significantly increased (P<0.05). In conclusion, different dietary whole plant forage mulberry addition ratios have no adverse effects on growth performance and slaughter performance of Chuanbai Rex rabbits, but can increase the muscle crude protein content and decrease the muscle ether extract content; the antioxidant capacity and nutrient apparent digestibility of Chuanbai Rex rabbits can be improved by adding the appropriate ratio of whole plant forage mulberry in diet; under the experimental conditions, the appropriate ratio of whole plant forage mulberry in diet for Chuanbai Rex rabbits is 12%.

苜蓿作为草食动物优质的纤维和蛋白质来源,一直以来都是獭兔饲粮中不可或缺的主要原料[1]。不过,我国南方地区由于夏季高温多湿,苜蓿产量和品质均不如我国北方苜蓿主产区,大宗的苜蓿需求均依赖于从北方采购,而且苜蓿价格较高,这显著增加了养殖成本,因此寻找新的可替代优质草粉资源对于獭兔业发展迫在眉睫[2]。饲料桑是近年来备受关注的高蛋白质饲用作物,其不仅营养价值与苜蓿相当[3],富含的多种生物活性物质还在提高动物机体免疫力以及改善畜禽产品的品质和风味等方面具有重要作用[4]。目前已有饲料桑在兔养殖方面的相关报道。孙海涛等[5]研究表明,饲粮中添加适宜比例的饲料桑对育肥期莱芜黑兔生长性能、屠宰性能和肉品质均无明显不良影响,且能提高兔肉中粗蛋白质(CP)、半胱氨酸和缬氨酸含量。陈亚迎等[6]研究表明,饲粮中添加12%~18%饲料桑可一定程度上改善肉兔屠宰性能和器官发育,同时还可显著改善肉品质。石艳华等[7]用桑叶粉替代玉米豆粕饲喂肉兔,结果表明桑叶配合饲料对肉兔有明显的增重效果。王崇洲等[8]研究了饲料桑茎叶粉对肉兔生长性能、血清生化指标和肉品质的影响,结果表明饲粮中添加10%~15%饲料桑茎叶粉能提高兔肉中风味物质含量,改善肉品质。然而,饲料桑是否可以作为苜蓿草粉替代品用于川白獭兔养殖,适宜的添加比例尚不清楚。鉴于此,本试验旨在研究饲粮中添加不同比例的全株饲料桑对川白獭兔生长性能、屠宰性能、肉品质、血清抗氧化指标及养分表观消化率的影响,为饲料桑在川白獭兔养殖中的应用提供参考。

1.3 饲养管理

饲养管理和免疫程序采用常规方法,试验期间肉兔自由采食和饮水。试验结束前7 d,采用内源指示剂法测定养分表观消化率。

1.4 测定指标及方法

1.4.1 饲粮营养成分含量

饲粮CP、淀粉、粗纤维(CF)、NDF、ADF、酸性洗涤木质素(ADL)、半纤维素、Ash、EE、Ca和TP含量分别参照GB/T 6432—2018、GB/T 20194—2018、GB/T 6434—2022、GB/T 20806—2022、NY/T 1459—2022、GB/T 20805—2006、NY/T 3494—2019、GB/T 6438—2007、GB/T 6433—2006、GB/T 6436—2018和GB/T 6437—2018的方法进行测定。

1.4.2 生长性能

试验开始和结束时对所有试验兔进行空腹(禁食12 h,自由饮水)称重,记为初始体重(IBW)和终末体重(FBW),并计算平均日增重(ADG);试验期间记录每只兔的采食量,计算平均日采食量(ADFI),并计算料重比(F/G)。

1.4.3 屠宰性能

试验结束时,每组选取8只接近平均体重的试验兔记录屠宰前体重(活体重),屠宰后将血放干,称量胴体重、全净膛重和半净膛重,计算全净膛率和半净膛率;然后,迅速剥离各脏器(肝脏、脾脏、胸腺和心脏),分别称重,计算脏器指数和器官指数。计算公式为:
全净膛率(%)=(全净膛重/活体重)×100;
半净膛率(%)=(半净膛重/活体重)×100;
脏器指数(%)=(脏器重量/活体重)×100;
器官指数(%)=肝脏指数+脾脏指数+胸腺指数+心脏指数。

1.4.4 肉品质

参照陈亚迎等[6]的方法测定肉品质指标。

1.4.5 血清抗氧化指标

试验结束时,每组选取8只接近平均体重的试验兔进行心脏采血(10 mL/只),将采集的血液静置30 min后于1 230.47×g下离心15 min,分离血清后置于-20 ℃保存。采用全自动生化分析仪(Beckman CX4)测定血清超氧化物歧化酶(superoxide dismutase,SOD)和过氧化氢酶(catalase,CAT)活性、总抗氧化能力(total antioxidant capacity,T-AOC)以及丙二醛(malondialdehyde,MDA)和总胆汁酸(total bile acid,TBA)含量,测定试剂盒购自南京建成生物工程研究所。

1.4.6 养分表观消化率

利用ADL作为内源指示剂计算饲粮中各养分表观消化率,计算公式为:
某养分表观消化率(%)=[1-(粪中某养分含量×饲粮中ADL含量/饲粮中某养分含量×粪中ADL含量)]×100。

1.5 数据统计分析

试验数据采用Excel 2021软件进行初步整理,然后采用SPSS 22.0软件进行单因素方差分析(one-way ANOVA),并采用Duncan氏法进行多重比较。结果数据采用“平均值±标准误”形式表示,P<0.05表示差异显著。

3 讨论

3.1 饲粮中添加不同比例全株饲料桑对川白獭兔生长性能的影响

近年来,关于桑对畜禽生产性能的影响已有较多报道,但由于桑树品种、栽培措施、加工方式及畜禽种类等的不同导致所得结果有所差异[5-6,8]。本研究结果表明,川白獭兔ADG在各组间无显著差异,但随着饲料桑添加比例的提高呈现先降低后升高的变化趋势,其中以12%和18%添加组下降较明显;同时,各试验组ADG均显著低于对照组,但各试验组间ADG均无显著差异,这可能与全株饲料桑中含有一定量的单宁和植酸等抗营养因子有关。研究表明,当饲粮中单宁含量超过一定量时,饲粮的适口性会降低且会影响动物对营养物质的利用[10]。此外,F/G随着饲料桑添加比例的提高呈现先升高后降低的变化趋势,其中6%和24%组F/G显著低于对照组,而12%和18%添加组F/G与对照组相比无显著差异。因此,从生长性能来看,全株饲料桑在川白獭兔饲粮中的添加比例达到24%时也不会对其产生负面影响,这与陈惠娜等[11]报道的饲粮中桑树茎叶饲料的添加比例在不超过16%时对肉兔生长性能无显著影响的结果不同,原因可能是试验所用桑品种以及试验对象的差异所致。

3.2 饲粮中添加不同比例全株饲料桑对川白獭兔屠宰性能的影响

全净膛率和半净膛率是评定胴体性状的重要指标。本研究发现,24%添加组川白獭兔全净膛率和半净膛率较对照组有所提高,但未达到显著水平;同时,6%和12%添加组全净膛率和半净膛率与对照组相比无显著差异,这说明添加一定比例的全株饲料桑可以一定程度上提高川白獭兔屠宰率,这与侯启瑞等[12]的研究结果类似。器官指数可反映器官功能与代谢强弱,通常情况下免疫器官指数与其免疫性能呈正比[13]。同时,内脏器官重量与能量的利用有关,随着饲粮能量摄入量的增加,试验动物内脏的器官发育也随之加快、增重[14]。本研究结果显示,饲粮中添加全株饲料桑对川白獭兔器官指数、胸腺指数和肝脏指数均无显著影响,且试验期间试验兔未出现不良反应,说明饲料桑对川白獭兔器官生长发育以及免疫器官指数均无负面影响。脾脏是动物免疫能力强弱的器官之一,脾脏指数在一定程度上可反映免疫性能的强弱[15]。本研究中,12%添加组脾脏指数显著高于对照组,同时其心脏指数也高于其余各组,表明饲粮中添加一定比例的饲料桑可以增强川白獭免疫能力,进而维持其机体健康。

3.3 饲粮中添加不同比例全株饲料桑对川白獭兔肉品质的影响

滴水损失和蒸煮损失是评价兔肉嫩度和保水性的重要指标。郭志强等[16]在兔饲粮中添加鲜桑叶(鲜桑叶自由采食+兔体重4%左右精料)后发现,添加鲜桑叶能显著降低肌肉滴水损失,并长时间维持肌肉较高的pH,以此改善兔肉品质。本研究结果显示,饲粮中添加全株饲料桑对川白獭兔肌肉滴水损失率和熟肉率无显著影响,其熟肉率随着饲料桑添加比例的提高呈现先升高后降低的变化趋势,在12%添加组达到最大值。兔肉是富含高生物学价值蛋白质的健康优质肉类,其不饱和脂肪酸含量高,胆固醇含量低。本研究结果表明,饲粮中添加全株饲料桑可显著提高肌肉CP含量,同时显著降低肌肉EE含量,其原因可能与脂肪转变为醛类、醇类、酯类或酮类化等化合物相关[17-18],但其机制还需进一步研究。陈亚迎等[6]和曹满湖等[19]的研究也得到相似结果。

3.4 饲粮中添加不同比例全株饲料桑对川白獭兔血清抗氧化指标的影响

饲料桑富含多种生理活性物质,这使其在畜禽饲料资源中可作为一种天然营养保健剂[20]。抗氧化能力的强弱对动物健康有重要的影响,SOD和MDA等是反映机体抗氧化能力强弱的重要指标。罗阳等[21]研究表明,饲粮中添加发酵桑叶能够促进湘西杂交育肥黄牛的生长,降低血清葡萄糖、总胆固醇及MDA含量从而调节动物的血糖、血脂及抗氧化功能。本研究结果显示,饲粮中添加全株饲料桑对川白獭兔血清SOD活性无显著影响,但12%添加组血清SOD活性高于对照组和其他试验组,这说明饲粮中添加12%全株饲料桑时可一定程度上提高血清SOD活性,从而增强机体清除自由基的能力。T-AOC是所有抗氧化剂的抗氧化能力总和,可一定程度上反映机体清除活性氧/一氧化氮合酶(ROS/NOS)的总能力。本研究中,随着饲料桑添加比例的提高,血清T-AOC持续增强,其原因可能与随着饲料桑添加比例的提高,饲粮中含有的桑叶黄酮等活性物质含量随之提高有关。TBA是肝脏实质性损伤及消化系统疾病的一个较为灵敏的诊断指标,能较为特异地反映肝脏排泄功能,一旦肝细胞有病变或肠-肝循环障碍,均可引起TBA含量升高。何振富等[22]研究表明,随着饲粮综合净能水平的提高,舍饲育肥牦牛血清总胆固醇和TBA含量均呈现出上升的趋势。本研究结果与其相反,本试验结果表明,随着饲料桑添加比例的提高,血清TBA含量呈逐渐下降的趋势,说明饲料桑有利于维持肝脏健康。此外,由于胆固醇分解的重要途径是转变成胆汁酸[23],因此胆汁酸含量的降低可能与桑树中所含活性物质降低了血液中的胆固醇含量有关。MDA是机体脂质过氧化的终产物,其含量越高,说明机体氧化损伤越严重。宋琼莉等[24]研究发现,饲粮中添加10%桑叶粉能显著降低肌肉MDA含量。沈黄冕等[25]研究表明,发酵桑叶能提高高脂血症罗非鱼血清SOD活性,降低血清MDA含量。本研究结果与上述研究结果类似,本试验中,各组间血清MDA含量无显著差异,但随着饲料桑添加比例的提高,其值呈下降趋势而T-AOC呈上升趋势,说明饲料桑是通过降低血清MDA含量来提高机体的抗氧化能力,其原因也可能与桑叶中含有的活性物质有关[26]

3.5 饲粮中添加不同比例全株饲料桑对川白獭兔养分表观消化率的影响

养分表观消化率能够反映动物对养分的消化吸收与利用情况,是判定饲粮营养价值的重要指标。寇宇斐[27]研究发现,不同添加比例全株桑枝叶对育肥湖羊DM表观消化率无显著影响。刘冬等[28]研究表明,15%发酵桑叶组育肥猪CP和CF表观消化率显著低于对照组。本研究与以上结果不同,本试验结果表明,饲粮中添加一定比例的全株饲料桑可显著提高川白獭兔的DM表观消化率,且DM表观消化率随着饲料桑添加比例的提高呈现先升高后降低的变化趋势,其中以添加12%时DM表观消化率最高,较对照组提高了13.61%,造成该结果的原因可能是饲料桑品种、加工方式及试验对象不同所致。杨阳[29]研究表明,在罗非鱼饲料中添加桑叶粉可一定程度提高CP表观消化率。本研究与其结果类似,本研究结果显示,饲粮中添加全株饲料桑后川白獭兔CP表观消化率呈现先升高后降低的变化趋势,以12%添加组CP表观消化率最高,较对照提高了3.04%。NDF和ADF表观消化率可以反映反刍动物对饲粮纤维物质的利用能力。龚新宇等[30]用青贮桑枝叶饲喂湘中黑牛发现,青贮桑枝叶组NDF和ADF表观消化率较青贮玉米组显著提高,提升幅度达25.86%和40.48%。樊启文等[31]研究表明,以20%发酵饲料桑替代基础饲粮可显著提高NDF表观消化率。王瑶等[32]以蛋白桑青贮替代全株玉米青贮研究其对育肥湖羊生长性能和营养物质消化代谢的影响,结果表明,蛋白桑青贮替代湖羊饲粮中20%~40%的全株玉米青贮能够提高湖羊的养分表观消化率,促进能量代谢。本试验结果与以上研究结果类似,本试验结果表明,饲粮中添加12%全株饲料桑时川白獭兔对饲粮中NDF和ADF的表观消化率均显著高于对照组和其他试验组,且较对照组分别提高了33.94%和35.04%。由此可见,饲粮中添加一定比例的全株饲料桑可促进川白獭兔对纤维的消化吸收。Wang等[33]研究发现,在断奶犊牛的饲粮中添加桑叶黄酮可以提高胃肠道脂肪酶的活性,从而影响EE表观消化率。本试验中,12%添加组EE表观消化率显著高于对照组以及6%和18%添加组,这说明饲粮中添加一定比例的全株饲料桑可以提升川白獭兔的EE表观消化率。从整体趋势看,川白獭兔的养分表观消化率随着饲料桑添加比例的提高呈现先升高后降低的变化趋势,在添加12%时达到最高。因此,饲粮中添加适宜比例全株饲料桑对提高川白獭兔饲粮养分表观消化率具有积极作用。
