Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of low protein diet supplemented with arginine on growth performance, nutrient apparent digestibility, slaughter performance, serum biochemical indices and meat quality of meat rabbits, and to provide theoretical reference for the application of low protein diet in rabbit production. Four hundred Ira meat rabbits with similar body weight at 35 days of age were randomly divided into five groups with eight replicates in each group and ten rabbits in each replicate. Rabbits in group Ⅰ were fed a basal diet (crude protein level was 17.5%), rabbits in group Ⅱ were fed a low protein diet (crude protein level was 15.5%), and others in groups Ⅲ, Ⅳ and Ⅴ were fed the low protein diet supplemented with 0.2%, 0.4% and 0.6% arginine, respectively. The experiment lasted for 35 days. The results showed as follows: 1) compared with group Ⅰ, the final weight, average daily gain and average daily feed intake of group Ⅱ were significantly decreased (P<0.05), the final weight, average daily gain and average daily feed intake of groups Ⅲ, Ⅳ and Ⅴ were no significant difference (P>0.05). Compared with group Ⅱ, the final weight, average daily gain and average daily feed intake of groups Ⅲ and Ⅳ were significantly increased (P<0.05). 2) Compared with group Ⅰ, the dry matter apparent digestibility of group Ⅱ was significantly increased (P<0.05), the crude fiber, neutral detergent fiber and dry matter apparent digestibility of groups Ⅲ and Ⅳ was significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with group Ⅱ, the crude protein, ether extract and neutral detergent fiber of groups Ⅲ and Ⅳ was significantly increased (P<0.05). 3) Compared with group Ⅰ, the half eviscerated ratio and all eviscerated ratio of groups Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ and Ⅴ were no significant difference (P>0.05). Compared with group Ⅱ, the half eviscerated ratio of group Ⅲ was significantly increased (P<0.05), and the all eviscerated ratio of groups Ⅲ, Ⅳ and Ⅴ was significantly increased (P<0.05). 4) There were no significant differences in serum biochemical indices among all groups (P>0.05). 5) Compared with group Ⅰ, the longest back muscle drip loss ratio and shear force of group Ⅱ were no significant difference (P>0.05). Compared with group Ⅱ, the longest back muscle drip loss ratio and shear force of group Ⅳ were significantly decreased (P<0.05). 6) Compared with group Ⅰ, the contents of threonine (Thr) and serine (Ser) in longest back muscle of group Ⅱ were significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the glycine (Gly), valine (Val), phenylalanine (Phe), histidine (His) contents were significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with group Ⅱ, the contents of Thr and Ser in longest back muscle of groups Ⅲ, Ⅳ and Ⅴ were significantly increased (P<0.05), the contents of Gly and Ala in longest back muscle of group Ⅲ were significantly increased (P<0.05), and the contents of Val, IIe, Leu, Phe and His in longest back muscle of groups Ⅳ and Ⅴ were significantly decreased (P<0.05). In conclusion, the low protein diet supplemented with arginine can ensure that the growth performance of meat rabbits does not change, improve the nutrient apparent digestibility and meat quality, and the optimum addition ratio of arginine is 0.2%.

蛋白质在动物的生长发育过程中发挥重要作用,参与生物催化、氧气运输、肌肉运动以及激素调节等多种生命活动。饲粮中粗蛋白质(CP)水平可影响畜禽的生长性能[1]。我国畜牧产业发展快速,需要消耗大量的饲料原料,特别是蛋白质饲料原料短缺的问题越发突出。王文月等[2]报道,2022年我国蛋白质饲料资源进口超过9 053万t,我国蛋白质饲料原料近一半依赖进口。解决我国蛋白质饲料原料依赖进口的问题需要开源节流,即开发新的蛋白质饲料原料的同时,降低蛋白质饲料原料的用量[3]。适当的降低饲粮中粗蛋白质水平可降低饲料成本,可以减少畜禽粪便中氮排放,缓解环境污染[4],还可以减轻肠道负担[5]。大量研究发现,饲喂低蛋白质饲粮且添加单体氨基酸后,不会对畜禽生长性能产生影响。李宏伟等[6]研究发现,饲喂低蛋白质饲粮且补充过瘤胃赖氨酸后,不会对奶牛生产水平和乳品质产生影响。张辉[7]研究发现,低蛋白质饲粮添加甘氨酸对京红1号蛋鸡生长性能、蛋品质无不良影响。朱平军等[8]研究发现,在肉鸡饲粮中粗蛋白质水平降低3%且添加限制性氨基酸的情况下,不会对肉鸡生长性能产生影响。王童童[4]研究发现,低蛋白质饲粮中添加蛋氨酸可提高安哥拉兔的生长性能。
肉兔生产中,仔兔断奶初期是关键时期。由于营养方式由母乳转为固体饲料,并且仔兔消化系统发育尚未健全,易受外界环境和饲粮的影响,出现断奶应激综合征[9];仔兔表现为营养物质吸收不良、生长缓慢、发生大规模的腹泻甚至出现死亡。精氨酸是一种条件性必需氨基酸,一般能由动物机体合成,但在应激状态或者机体尚为年幼状态的情况下是一种必需氨基酸。精氨酸参与幼畜肠道蛋白质的合成,可以调控肠道健康,增强肠道的免疫力、抗氧化能力以及对营养物质的吸收能力,从而提高幼畜的生长性能[10]。目前,低蛋白质饲粮以及精氨酸在其他畜禽上的研究较为广泛,然而在家兔生产上的研究并不多见。因此,本试验旨在探究在低蛋白质饲粮中添加不同比例精氨酸对生长肉兔生长性能、养分表观消化率、屠宰性能、血清生化指标及肉品质的影响,为低蛋白质饲粮在家兔生产上的应用提供理论参考。

1.3 饲养管理

试验兔采用上、下双层笼养,试验期间每天饲喂2次,自由饮水。所有试验兔断奶前均完成常规免疫接种,试验期间定期进行兔舍消毒。

1.4 测定指标及方法

1.4.1 生长性能

在试验开始和结束时对肉兔以重复为单元进行称重,称重的前1天晚上对肉兔禁食不禁水,以重复为单位记录投喂量,计算平均日增重(ADG)、平均日采食量(ADFI)和料重比(F/G)。以重复为单位,统计肉兔的腹泻天数及死亡只数,计算腹泻频率和死亡率。

1.4.2 养分表观消化率

试验第33天对试验兔以重复为单位进行消化试验。消化试验采用双内源指示剂(盐酸不溶灰分和酸性洗涤木质素)法连续收集3 d新鲜兔粪,同时采集每组饲料样本于-20 ℃保存。将采集的粪样于65 ℃烘干,制成风干样,并测定水分含量。将粪样及饲料样品粉碎过40目筛,测定粪样和饲料样中的盐酸不溶灰分和酸性洗涤木质素含量,分别参照国标GB/T 23742—2009、GB/T 20805—2006测定;粪样和饲料样品中的干物质(DM)、粗蛋白质(CP)、粗脂肪(EE)、粗灰分(Ash)、粗纤维(CF)、中性洗涤纤维(NDF)、酸性洗涤纤维(ADF)、钙(Ca)、磷(P)含量测定方法分别参照GB/T 6435—2014、GB/T 6432—2018、GB/T 6433—2006、GB/T 6438—2007、GB/T 6434—2022、GB/T 20806—2006、NY/T 1459—2007、GB/T 6436—2018、GB/T 6437—2018。根据刘磊等[11]研究中的双内源指示剂法计算养分表观消化率。

1.4.3 屠宰性能

在试验结束前对试验兔进行12 h禁食处理,饲养试验结束当天,每组选8只试验兔(来自不同重复,公母各1/2)进行逐只称重,记为宰前活体重。采血后的试验兔颈部放血处死后剥皮,第一颈椎去头,并在腕关节及跗关处去除前、后肢,除去肠道及内容(保留心脏、肝脏、肾脏及肾周脂肪)称重,即为半净膛重,半净膛重去除所有内脏器官及腹壁脂肪即为全净膛重,并计算半净膛率(100×半净膛重/宰前活重)和全净膛率(100×全净膛重/宰前活重)。

1.4.4 血清生化指标

对试验兔进行心脏采血,于10 mL离心管内,置于离心机1 581×g下离心10 min,分离血清,于-20 ℃保存。使用长春汇力生物技术有限公司试剂盒,采用全自动生化分析仪测定血清白蛋白(ALB)、球蛋白(GLOB)、尿素氮(UN)、尿素(UREA)含量,计算白球比(A/G)。

1.4.5 肉品质

取屠宰后肉兔两侧背腰最长肌,测定肉色、滴水损失、蒸煮损失、失水率、剪切力、pH,具体测定方法参考NY/T 821—2019。

1.4.6 肌肉营养成分和氨基酸含量

背腰最长肌中干物质、粗蛋白质、粗脂肪和粗灰分含量的测定分别参照GB 5009.3—2016、GB 5009.5—2016、GB 5009.6—2016、GB 5009.4—2016和GB/T 6438—2007。
称取混合均匀的适量背腰最长肌肉预处理后,经氨基酸自动分析仪(日立LA8080)上机检测氨基酸含量。

1.5 数据统计分析

试验数据采用Excel 2021整理后,采用SPSS 24.0统计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,数据结果用平均值±标准误表示,P<0.05为差异显著。

3 讨论

3.1 低蛋白质饲粮中添加精氨酸对肉兔生长性能、屠宰性能和养分表观消化率的影响

本研究发现,在降低肉兔饲粮粗蛋白质水平2个百分点后,生长性能下降,但在低蛋白质饲粮中添加精氨酸会提高肉兔的生长性能。陆艳凤等[12]研究表明,降低肉鸡饲粮中粗蛋白质水平会降低肉鸡生长性能;张迁[13]研究表明,在生长育肥的低蛋白质饲粮中添加精氨酸,与高蛋白质饲粮相比生长性能并没有显著降低,这与本试验结果相似。吕景智[14]研究表明,饲粮中精氨酸能够显著提高肉兔的末重以和平均日增重。这可能与精氨酸作为一氧化氮(NO)的前体物质有关,精氨酸的添加使得NO含量增加,从而增加血管流量,维持血管通透性,提高了肠道的吸收能力,精氨酸还能改善肠道结构,维持肠道屏障,提高肠道免疫能力以及抗应激能力,从而提高养分消化率,进而提高生长性能[15-16]
屠宰性能是反映肉兔产肉情况的关键指标,可以直观地反映畜禽的产肉能力。本研究发现,与基础饲粮相比,饲喂低蛋白质饲粮不会降低肉兔屠宰性能,这与程治和等[17]的研究结果基本一致。本研究发现,低蛋白质饲粮中添加精氨酸会提高肉兔的屠宰性能。而朱伟[18]研究表明,饲粮中添加精氨酸对肉鸭屠宰性能没有显著影响,这与本试验研究结果不符,可能是物种不同或饲养方法不同的原因。
本试验表明,低蛋白质饲粮中添加精氨酸可提高肉兔粗蛋白质、粗纤维、粗脂肪、中性洗涤纤维、酸性洗涤纤维和干物质表观消化率。范玉洁等[19]研究表明,将离乳期梅花鹿饲粮粗蛋白质水平降低2个百分点并添加精氨酸,能显著提高粗蛋白质、粗脂肪、中性洗涤纤维、酸性洗涤纤维表观消化率。王录军等[20]研究也证实,饲粮中添加精氨酸能显著提高肉兔干物质表观消化率。小肠是体内营养物质消化吸收的关键场所,消化率的提高与小肠的发育有着密切的关系。研究发现,精氨酸能优化肉兔肠道结构,促进肠上皮细胞的生长以及肠道的发育,促进营养物质的消化吸收[21]。此外,由精氨酸诱导产生的生长激素以及胰岛素能够调节机体大部分组织中的蛋白质、碳水化合物、核酸和脂肪的代谢,对机体营养物质的消化吸收产生影响[22]

3.2 低蛋白质饲粮中添加精氨酸对肉兔肉品质的影响

畜禽肉品质指标主要有肉色、pH、系水力、风味和嫩度等[23]。本研究表明,饲粮粗蛋白质水平降低后不会对肉的滴水损失、剪切力产生影响。张春霞[24]研究发现,低蛋白质饲粮不会对西门塔尔牛肉品质产生影响,这与本试验研究结果基本一致。滴水损失与肌肉系水力密切相关,滴水损失越低,系水力越高,剪切力越低,肉的嫩度越好。李燕舞等[25]研究发现,饲粮中添加精氨酸会显著降低育肥猪肌肉中滴水损失和蒸煮损失。徐丽媛[26]研究表明,饲粮中添加精氨酸会显著降低肉羊背最长肌和股二头肌的剪切力,这与本试验结果基本一致。
肌肉中的氨基酸含量是评价蛋白质营养价值的重要指标,与肉的风味有着密切的联系,其中游离氨基酸含量更加影响肉的风味品质[27]。本研究发现,低蛋白质饲粮中添加精氨酸会提高肌肉中Thr、Ser、Gly、Ala含量。Thr、Ser、Gly、Ala均属于风味氨基酸,风味氨基酸增加使得肉的风味更佳,营养价值更高[28-29]。综上所述,低蛋白质饲粮中添加精氨酸对兔肉的营养价值存在一定程度的促进作用。

4 结论

在低蛋白质饲粮中添加精氨酸,可保证肉兔生长性能不改变,同时可提高肉兔的养分表观消化率,改善肉品质,且对血清生化指标无影响。综合本试验结果,肉兔低蛋白质饲粮中精氨酸适宜的添加比例为0.2%。
