Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of dietary chitosan and Artemisia ordosica crude polysaccharide on rumen fermentation and nutrient degradation rate of dairy cows in the pre-partum period, post-partum period and per-lactation period by in vitro method, and to provide reference for the application of chitosan and Artemisia ordosica crude polysaccharide in dairy cows. Using a single factor completely randomized experimental design, each 3 cows in the pre-partum period, post-partum period and per-lactation period were selected as rumen fluid donors, and the rumen fluid was collected from the oral cavity, filtered by 2 layers of gauze and mixed to prepare culture fluid. The total mixed rations of different periods were collected as fermentation substrates, the fermentation substrate in the control group (CN group) was not added with additives, and that in the chitosan group (CT group) and the Artemisia ordosica crude polysaccharide group (AM group) was added with 0.15% chitosan and 0.1% Artemisia ordosica crude polysaccharide based on the substrate in CN group, respectively, with 6 replicates per group. Nutrient degradation rate and rumen fermentation parameters were measured after culture in vitro for 48 h in the pre-partum period and 24 h in the other periods. The results showed as follows: in the pre-partum period, post-partum period and per-lactation period, the dry matter (DM) degradation rate and contents of microbial protein (MCP), ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N), acetic acid and total volatile fatty acids in AM and CT groups were significantly higher than those in CN group (P<0.05); the crude protein (CP) degradation rate in AM group was significantly higher than that in CT and CN groups (P<0.05), and which in CT group was significantly higher than CN group (P<0.05). In the pre-partum period and per-lactation period, the ether extract (EE) degradation rate in AM group was significantly higher than that in CN and CT groups (P≤0.05), the contents of propionic acid and butyric acid in CT group were significantly higher than those in CN group (P<0.05), and the isobutyric acid content in AM and CT groups was significantly higher than that in CN group (P<0.05). In the pre-partum period and post-partum period, the gas production in AM group was significantly higher than that in CT and CN groups (P<0.05). In the pre-partum period, the acid detergent fiber (ADF) degradation rate in AM group was higher than that in CN and CT groups (P=0.063). In the post-partum period, the degradation rates of EE and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) in AM and CT groups were significantly higher than those in CN group (P<0.05), and the EE degradation rate in AM group were significantly higher than that in CT group (P<0.05). In the per-lactation period, the gas production in AM and CT groups was significantly higher than that in CN group (P<0.05), and the contents of valeric acid and isovaleric acid in AM and CT groups were significantly higher than those in CN group (P<0.05). In the pre-partum period and post-partum period, the multiple-factors associative effects index (MFAEI) in AM group was slightly higher than that in CT group; in the per-lactation period, the MFAEI in CT group was slightly higher than that in AM group. In conclusion, both chitosan and Artemisia ordosica crude polysaccharide can promote the rumen fermentation of dairy cows in vitro and improve the nutrient degradation rate, and the degradation effect of Artemisia ordosica crude polysaccharide on CP and EE is better than that of chitosan.

奶牛在围产期和泌乳期由于妊娠、分娩和泌乳消耗大量能量,当能量摄取无法满足自身需要时,容易发生能量负平衡和一系列代谢疾。瘤胃是奶牛最重要的消化器官,饲粮进入瘤胃后经过微生物降解和一系列复杂的生化反应后生成大量的营养物质,供给奶牛自身代谢和产奶[1]。瘤胃发酵水平是影响奶牛营养物质降解和消化的重要因素,与奶牛生产性能密切相关[2]
壳聚糖作为一种无毒、无副作用的绿色添加剂,可调控瘤胃发酵模式,并调节瘤胃微生物区系平衡,从而提高纤维物质的表观消化率[3]。研究表明,壳聚糖可以降低绵羊、肉牛[4]和泌乳奶牛[5]瘤胃液中乙酸/丙酸值,从而改变瘤胃发酵模式。Dias等[6]研究发现,壳聚糖可以显著提高肉牛对粗蛋白质(CP)和中性洗涤纤维(NDF)的消化率。本课题组前期研究表明,饲粮中添加1 500 mg/kg壳聚糖能够显著提高奶牛产奶量以及乳蛋白质和乳糖产量,降低体细胞数[7]。还有研究指出,黄芪多糖、诺丽果多糖和苜蓿多糖等植物多糖均具有提高营养物质消化率、促进动物生长以及提高机体免疫和抗氧化功能的作用[8-10]。黑沙蒿是一种菊科蒿属草本植物,主要分布在我国西北部地区,而黑沙蒿提取物富含黄酮类、挥发油、多糖和香豆素类等活性成分,不仅具有纯天然、无公害、无残留和价格低廉等优点,还能发挥抗生素替代品的作用[11]。李书仪等[12]体外瘤胃发酵试验发现,添加0.30%黑沙蒿多糖可以显著提高瘤胃液中丙酸和菌体蛋白(MCP)含量并抑制瘤胃原虫增殖,改善绒山羊瘤胃发酵环境。刘锦涛等[13]通过奶牛体外瘤胃发酵试验发现,饲粮中添加黑沙蒿水提物能够显著提高总挥发性脂肪酸(TVFA)、乙酸、丙酸和戊酸含量。然而,目前关于壳聚糖和黑沙蒿粗多糖调控奶牛瘤胃发酵和营养物质降解的比较研究报道较少。体外法模拟瘤胃发酵,具有省时省力、操作简单等优点,可在一定程度上重现瘤胃内的消化过程。奶牛在不同生理时期,体内瘤胃发酵环境会发生不同程度的改变,因此,采集不同时期奶牛的瘤胃液,并将相应时期的全混合日粮作为发酵底物,可以更好地模拟其发酵情况。鉴于此,本试验分别采集处于围产前期、围产后期和泌乳前期的奶牛瘤胃液,利用体外法比较研究壳聚糖和黑沙蒿粗多糖对其瘤胃发酵和营养物质降解率的影响,旨在为在生产实践中有效开发并合理利用壳聚糖和黑沙蒿粗多糖提供依据,对改善奶牛健康进而提高产奶性能具有重要的理论和实践价值。

1.3 瘤胃液的采集与制备

晨饲前使用瘤胃液采集器通过口腔采集奶牛瘤胃液,置于预先预热到39 ℃并通有二氧化碳(CO2)气体的保温瓶中。返回实验室后,瘤胃液经2层纱布过滤后置于预热到39 ℃并通有CO2气体的保温瓶中,待用。

体外瘤胃营养物质降解的Kansas缓冲液包括溶液A(KH2PO4 10 g、MgSO4·7H2O 0.5 g、NaCl 0.5 g、CaCl2·2H2O 0.1 g)和溶液B(Na2CO3 15 g、Na2S·9H2O 1 g),参考杜霞[15]的方法配制;体外瘤胃发酵缓冲液参考Menke等[16]的方法配制。将上述溶液在水浴锅中温热到39 ℃,持续通入CO2备用。

1.5 测定指标及方法

1.5.1 常规营养成分含量

干物质(DM)、CP、粗脂肪(EE)、NDF、酸性洗涤纤维(ADF)、钙(Ca)和磷(P)含量分别参照GB/T 6435—2014、GB/T 6432—2018、GB/T 6433—2006、GB/T 20806—2022、NY/T 1459—2022、GB/T 6436—2018和GB/T 6437—2018中方法测定。

1.5.2 体外瘤胃营养物质降解率

在发酵罐中加入266 mL缓冲溶液B和1 330 mL缓冲溶液A,将装有缓冲溶液的发酵罐放置于恒温水浴锅中,平衡温度至39 ℃,并通入CO2气体2 h;每个发酵罐中加入400 mL瘤胃液混匀,并通入CO2气体30 s;称取6 g发酵底物于尼龙袋中,平铺于发酵罐中,每个处理6个重复,该操作全程冲入CO2气体;将发酵罐放置于体外模拟培养箱中培养。分别测定降解前的底物与降解后残渣中DM、CP、EE、NDF和ADF含量,其中NDF和ADF含量采用全自动纤维分析仪(200i,ANKOM,美国)进行测定。体外瘤胃某营养物质降解率计算公式如下:
$ X(\%)=100 \times\left(W_{1} \times A-W_{2} \times B\right) /\left(W_{1} \times A\right)$
式中:X为体外瘤胃某营养物质降解率(%);A为降解前底物中某营养物质含量(%);W1为降解前底物重量(g);W2为经体外发酵降解后的残渣重量(g);B为降解残渣中某营养物质含量(%)。

1.5.3 体外瘤胃发酵参数

称取1.00 g发酵底物置于发酵瓶中备用。将经过过滤处理过的瘤胃液与配制好的Menke缓冲液以1∶2的比例混合,将混合后的液体分装到各发酵瓶中60 mL,整个过程通入稳定的CO2气体,立即连接到AGRS-Ⅲ全自动产气记录仪,39 ℃连续培养,并记录产气量;发酵结束后将发酵瓶置于冰上进行冷却,终止发酵。分别采用pH计测定瘤胃液pH,采用考马斯亮蓝法[17]测定瘤胃液中MCP含量,采用比色法[18]测定瘤胃液中氨态氮(NH3-N)含量;参考王加启[19]的方法进行原虫计数;采用气相色谱仪(岛津GC-2014)测定挥发性脂肪酸(VFA)含量[20],以二乙基丁酸为内标,计算TVFA含量。

1.5.4 多项组合效应指数(multiple-factors associative effects index,MFAEI)

MFAEI是多项不同处理的各指标单项组合效应指数(single-factor associative effects index,SFAEI)之和。计算公式如下:
$ \begin{array}{c}\mathrm{SFAEI}=\frac{\sum_{n=1}^{n} \left(A_{2 m}-A_{1 m}\right) / n}{A_{2 m}} \\\mathrm{MFAEI}=\sum \mathrm{SFAEI}\end{array}$
式中:m代表各发酵时间点;n代表发酵时间点的总次数;A1m代表CN组各单一指标n个发酵时间点的值;A2m表示试验组各单一指标n个发酵时间点的值。

1.6 数据处理

试验数据采用Excel 2021进行初步整理与计算,然后使用SAS 9.0软件进行单因素方差分析和LSD多重比较,结果数据采用平均值和均值标准误(SEM)表示,P≤0.05表示差异显著,0.05<P<0.10表示差异有显著趋势。

3.1 壳聚糖和黑沙蒿粗多糖对奶牛体外瘤胃营养物质降解率的影响

饲粮营养物质的瘤胃降解率反映了营养物质在瘤胃内的降解情况,是影响反刍动物生产性能的重要因素之一。目前,关于壳聚糖或黑沙蒿多糖对反刍动物体外瘤胃营养物质降解率的研究报道很少,将二者的影响效果进行比较的研究尚未见相关报道。李魏[21]研究指出,山羊饲粮中添加0.12%壳聚糖,能够显著提高山羊体外瘤胃NDF降解率。Li等[22]研究发现,黑沙蒿粗多糖能显著提高绒山羊DM、CP和NDF降解率。丁国和[23]研究表明,饲粮中添加3 mg猪毛蒿提取物能够显著提高奶山羊DM降解率。本试验中,在泌乳前期、围产前期和围产后期饲粮中添加黑沙蒿粗多糖的AM组以及添加壳聚糖的CT组奶牛体外瘤胃多种营养物质(DM、CP和NDF)降解率相较于CN组均有所提升,且AM组CP和EE降解率显著高于CT组,这说明壳聚糖和黑沙蒿粗多糖均可促进奶牛的体外瘤胃营养物质降解率,且对于CP和EE的降解率,黑沙蒿粗多糖的促进效果更佳。

3.2 壳聚糖和黑沙蒿粗多糖对奶牛体外瘤胃发酵的影响

优化瘤胃发酵对提高反刍动物饲料利用率有重要意义。VFA是瘤胃微生物利用碳水化合物发酵后的主要产物,为反刍动物提供了70%~80%的能量,其含量和组成代表了瘤胃的发酵水平与供能效率。本试验中,在围产前期、围产后期和泌乳前期饲粮中分别加入壳聚糖和黑沙蒿粗多糖后,乙酸和TVFA含量显著升高,说明二者在体外试验中均能增加供能的底物,且壳聚糖的促进效果略优。在围产前期和泌乳前期,饲粮中添加壳聚糖后还可显著提高丙酸含量,丙酸是VFA中供能效率最高的,说明壳聚糖还具有优化瘤胃发酵类型的潜力。Mingoti等[24]研究发现,壳聚糖可以提高奶牛瘤胃中丙酸含量,且提升程度随壳聚糖含量提高呈线性增加。梁高沣等[25]研究表明,壳聚糖可提高丙酸产量,降低乙酸/丙酸值。刘锦涛等[13]研究结果发现,黑沙蒿水提物添加组体外瘤胃发酵液中TVFA、乙酸、丙酸和戊酸含量显著提高。上述结果与本试验结果基本一致。
瘤胃pH是发酵功能正常行使的先决条件,本试验中各组pH为6.29~6.43,处于适宜pH范围内(6.0~7.0)[26],说明分别添加壳聚糖或黑沙蒿粗多糖不会破坏瘤胃内环境。瘤胃发酵产气量可以直接反映瘤胃发酵的剧烈程度,瘤胃中NH3-N是MCP合成的主要原料,其含量反映了瘤胃中含氮物的降解程度,而MCP含量反映了瘤胃中微生物利用NH3-N的能力,二者都是重要的瘤胃发酵指标。Li等[22]研究发现,饲粮中添加不同剂量的黑沙蒿粗多糖均可促进绒山羊的体外瘤胃发酵,提高NH3-N和MCP含量。张淑琴[3]研究表明,壳聚糖可以提高肉牛瘤胃NH3-N含量,改善肉牛生长后期饲料效率。李魏[21]在山羊的体内试验中发现,壳聚糖能提高瘤胃MCP含量。本试验比较研究了在围产前期、围产后期和泌乳前期饲粮中单独添加黑沙蒿粗多糖或壳聚糖对奶牛体外瘤胃发酵性能的影响,发现二者均可引起体外瘤胃发酵液中NH3-N、MCP和TVFA含量显著升高,促进体外瘤胃发酵。此外,在围产前期、围产后期和泌乳前期饲粮中分别添加壳聚糖和黑沙蒿粗多糖,均可提高多项体外发酵参数MFAEI值,这说明二者对奶牛体外瘤胃发酵具有促进效果。
不过,关于壳聚糖和黑沙蒿粗多糖对瘤胃发酵和营养物质降解具有促进效果的机制尚不十分清楚。有研究指出,黑沙蒿粗多糖[22]和壳聚糖[27]均能够通过调节瘤胃菌群丰度,进而提高绒山羊瘤胃发酵功能和营养物质消化。Zheng等[28]研究表明,壳聚糖可以增强硫氧还蛋白还原酶和过氧化氢酶等抗氧化酶活性,通过抑制核因子-κB信号通路,降低促炎症因子的合成。Li等[22]研究表明,饲粮中添加0.3%黑沙蒿粗多糖可以显著提高绒山羊血清过氧化氢酶、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶以及总超氧化物歧化酶等抗氧化酶活性。这可能是引起二者增强瘤胃发酵功能的原因。因此,后续有必要从瘤胃菌群的结构变化和抗氧化功能等角度探究其影响机制。本研究发现,分别以围产前期、围产后期和泌乳前期的奶牛作为瘤胃液供体,通过在饲粮中添加0.15%壳聚糖或0.10%黑沙蒿粗多糖均具有促进体外瘤胃发酵和提高营养物质降解率的潜力,但关于其他添加剂量的影响效果尚需进一步探究。

4 结论

壳聚糖和黑沙蒿粗多糖均可改善围产前期、围产后期和泌乳前期奶牛体外瘤胃发酵环境,提高营养物质降解率,相比之下黑沙蒿粗多糖对CP和EE降解的促进效果优于壳聚糖。
