Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the differences in gastrointestinal tissue development between Hu sheep and Karakul sheep during growth period under the same feeding mode. Twenty-four 15-day-old weaned lamb rams with similar body weight (8.5 to 9.0 kg) were selected, including 12 Hu sheep and 12 Karakul sheep. They were raised under the same mode for a total of 135 d. At 90 and 150 days of age, six lambs of each breed were selected for slaughter and sampling. The results showed as follows: 1) at 90 days of age, the rumen papilla height, abomasum mucosa layer thickness, duodenal villus height, jejunal villus height, jejunal crypt depth, ileal villus height and ileal villus height/crypt depth ratio of Hu sheep were extremely significantly lower than those of Karakul sheep (P<0.01), and the duodenal crypt depth of Hu sheep was significantly lower than that of Karakul sheep (P<0.05), while the other indicators of gastrointestinal tissue were not significantly different between Hu sheep and Karakul sheep (P>0.05). At 150 days of age, the omasum central muscle layer thickness of Hu sheep was extremely significantly lower than that of Karakul sheep (P<0.01), and the abomasum mucosa layer thickness of Hu sheep was significantly lower than that of Karakul sheep (P<0.05), while the other indicators of gastrointestinal tissue were not significantly different (P>0.05). 2) Age had a certain influence on the development of gastrointestinal tissue in sheep. With the increase of age, the abomasum mucosa layer thickness decreased significantly (P<0.05). In addition, the villus height, crypt depth and villus height/crypt depth ratio of each segment of small intestine were not significantly different at different ages (P>0.05). 3) The interaction between breed and age had significant or extremely significant effects on the rumen papilla height (P<0.05), rumen muscle layer thickness (P<0.01), omasum central muscle layer thickness (P<0.05), abomasum muscle layer thickness (P<0.01), abomasum mucosa layer thickness (P<0.01), jejunal villus height (P<0.01), jejunal crypt depth (P<0.01) and ileal villus height to crypt depth ratio (P<0.05). In conclusion, under the same feeding conditions, there are significant differences in the physiological structure of rumen, abomasum, duodenum, jejunum and ileum between Hu sheep and Karakul sheep at 90 days of age, but there is still difference in the physiological structure of abomasum at 150 days of age; the interaction between breed and age has significant or extremely significant effects on rumen papilla length, rumen muscular layer thickness, omasum central muscular layer thickness, abomasum muscular layer thickness, abomasum mucosal layer thickness, jejunal villus height, jejunal crypt depth and ileum villus height/crypt depth ratio.

动物的胃肠道(gastrointestinal tract,GIT)是一条起始于口腔,终止于肛门的连续性管道系统,由5个主要解剖结构构成,即食管、胃、小肠(包括十二指肠、 空肠和回肠)、大肠(包括盲肠、阑尾、结肠和直肠)[1],主要功能是营养物质的消化和吸收。反刍动物拥有独特的消化系统,主要由瘤胃、网胃、瓣胃和皱胃及肠道构成,这使反刍动物能够有效地消化高纤维饲料,幼龄反刍动物胃肠道组织发育程度直接影响成年后的采食量和消化能力[2]。小肠是参与营养物质消化和吸收的重要部分,十二指肠从胃接收食糜(胃酸和食物的混合物),是营养物质吸收开始的地方,并通过酶分解食糜,能够在食糜到达空肠之前中和胃酸;此外,来自肝脏的胆汁也通过肝胰壶腹进入十二指肠,也参与消化过程;而空肠主要通过绒毛吸收碳水化合物、氨基酸和脂肪酸,空肠皱襞和回肠皱襞环状物增加表面积有利于增强营养物质吸收;回肠主要吸收在前2个小肠段未吸收的营养物质,如维生素B12和胆汁酸[3-4]。因此,反刍动物胃肠道组织的结构和功能对于营养物质的消化吸收起着关键作用。卡拉库尔羊是新疆南疆地区本地品种羊,有着优良的环境适应性和耐粗饲等特点[5],是当地饲养的主要品种,但多数处于传统散养模式[6]。湖羊适应于亚热带湿润气候,饲养环境通常为舍饲或半舍饲,需要精细化饲养[7],因其高繁殖性能[8],被新疆南疆地区大量引入。阐明卡拉库尔羊和湖羊对环境适应性差异和由此导致的饲养模式不同的原因,可为精细化饲养这2个品种绵羊提供理论依据。本研究旨在通过比较相同饲养模式下湖羊与卡拉库尔羊在胃肠道组织发育方面的差异,以深入了解湖羊和卡拉库尔羊生长发育过程中胃肠道组织的形态演变,分析不同发育阶段胃肠道组织的形态学特征,为制定科学的饲料配方提供理论依据,并进一步为湖羊和卡拉库尔羊的集约化养殖提供学指导。

1 材料与方法

1.1 试验设计

选取体重相近(8.5~9.0 kg)的15日龄断奶羔羊公羊,湖羊(n=12)和卡拉库尔羊(n=12)各12只,羔羊选择为同一品种内相同父系的后代。为消除外界环境、个体和饮食因素的影响,所有羔羊均分栏饲养,并接受统一模式饲养管理。试验期共135 d。

1.2 饲养管理及饲粮组成

试验于2023年8—12月在塔里木大学动物科学与技术学院动物试验站进行,试验获得塔里木大学科技伦理委员会的批准,批准编号为2024053。整个试验期间,羔羊均自由采食和饮水,每日分2次(08:00和18:00)饲喂。在试验期间所有羔羊在相同模式下饲养,试验开始后所有羔羊统一饲喂由羔羊颗粒饲料(羔羊颗粒饲料为商品饲料,原料主要包括玉米、豆粕、乳清粉、石粉、氯化钠、维生素、氨基酸)与青干草配制的基础饲粮;当羔羊饲养至31日龄时开始使用棉籽壳饲粮代替基础饲粮进行饲喂,首日替代量为当日总量的6%,随后每日的替代量均按照当日总量的6%增加,在羔羊45日龄时完成棉籽壳饲粮对基础饲粮的全部替换;试验羔羊饲养至150日龄时试验结束。试验全期羔羊自由采食,自由饮水。试验中所使用的棉籽壳饲粮是根据《肉羊营养需要量》(NY/T 816—2021)[9]中绵羊饲养标准并结合新疆南疆地区农户通用的地方品种绵羊的饲喂模式,以棉籽壳作为基础饲粮的粗饲料来源进行配制。基础饲粮和棉籽壳饲粮组成及营养水平见表1

3 讨论

3.1 90和150日龄湖羊和卡拉库尔羊胃组织形态比较

反刍动物的瘤胃主要是通过微生物发酵和蠕动来消化吸收大量植物性饲料中的碳水化合物,其发育直接影响反刍动物的消化能力[2,22]。瘤胃乳头是存在于反刍动物瘤胃壁上的突起结构,主要分布在瘤胃内壁的前庭区域,其通过增加食糜与瘤胃的接触面积提升瘤胃对营养物质的吸收能力,因此瘤胃乳头的高度是评定瘤胃组织形态学发育最重要的指标之一[23]。本研究结果显示,90日龄湖羊的瘤胃乳头高度极显著低于卡拉库尔羊,这为解释湖羊较卡拉库尔羊对粗饲料的适应性差提供了可能的理由[24]。李峰鹏[25]开展了类似的研究,在相同条件饲养下,将6月龄西门塔尔杂交牛、宣汉黄牛和犏牛饲喂至30月龄,结果显示西门塔尔杂交牛瘤胃乳头高度显著高于宣汉黄牛和犏牛,宣汉黄牛和犏牛乳头高度无显著差异,而宣汉黄牛乳头宽度显著大于犏牛,说明在相同饲养条件下,不同品种牛存在瘤胃乳头发育的差异。考虑到瘤胃乳头处于生长发育过程中,而本试验中的2个品种绵羊限定在相同饲养管理模式下,因此认定品种为唯一影响因素,饲喂到150日龄时,2个品种绵羊的瘤胃乳头高度则差异不显著,这是否与动物的补偿生长机制[26-27]有关,有待进一步验证。
瓣胃的胃壁有许多叶状折层,这些折层有助于吸收饲料中的水分,同时进一步分解食糜。有研究发现,摄入粗饲料后物理刺激前胃消化,能够加剧瓣胃上皮的角质化以及黏膜、肌层的发育[28]。本研究发现,90日龄时,湖羊瓣胃中央肌层厚度与卡拉库尔羊没有显著差异,但150日龄时湖羊瓣胃中央肌层厚度极显著低于卡拉库尔羊,推测可能是卡拉库尔羊对粗饲料的适应性更强。在相同舍饲条件下,成年无角陶赛特羊瓣胃肌层厚度显著高于成年特克赛尔羊和萨福克羊[29],全年舍饲且饲养管理一致的成年德国美利奴羊瓣胃中央肌层的厚度显著高于蒙古羊、无角陶赛特羊、特克塞尔羊和特克塞尔羊[29]。上述结果表明,相同饲养条件下,不同品种绵羊瓣胃结构存在差异。但目前关于瓣胃肌层作用机制研究较少,缺乏相关文献报道,是否因此进一步影响了营养物质的消化吸收有待进一步研究。
皱胃又称真胃,是反刍动物唯一具有分泌功能的胃,皱胃分泌的胃酸和消化酶能够帮助动物消化蛋白质和其他营养成分[30]。皱胃在运动机制上与单胃动物的胃具有一定的相似性,但也有其独特的生理特征,皱胃内富含腺体细胞,其黏膜层结构包含胶原纤维、脂肪组织及黏膜下神经丛等组织成分,可以更好地消化如蛋白质等营养物质[31]。有报道显示,在相同舍饲条件下,18月龄无角陶赛特羊的皱胃肌层最为发达,其次是蒙古羊,而德国美利奴羊的肌层最薄,各品种间存在显著差异;萨福克羊皱胃黏膜肌层最厚,而蒙古羊最薄[32]。本研究发现,90日龄时湖羊皱胃黏膜层厚度极显著低于卡拉库尔羊,150日龄时湖羊皱胃黏膜层厚度和肌层厚度均显著低于卡拉库尔羊,说明不同品种绵羊的皱胃组织形态有差异,这可能是由于精料在经过前胃的消化后,到达皱胃时可消化物质减少,导致湖羊的皱胃黏膜层和肌层较薄。
反刍动物的胃黏膜表面特征性突起,如瘤胃乳头和网胃瓣叶等,能够显著增加饲料与胃上皮的接触面积,以增大吸收营养物质的表面积,有助于胃上皮发育和增强对营养物质的吸收效率,所以乳头高度和宽度是反刍动物胃组织形态学的重要参考指标[33]。据报道,饲喂绵羊较高水平精料的饲粮可以促进瘤胃乳头高度的增加和乳头宽度的降低[34]。另外,乔灵等[35]研究发现,瘤胃乳头的发育还与饲料的类型有关,瘤胃乳头高度变化为干草羊>青草羊>放牧羊,瘤胃乳头宽度变化为青草羊>放牧羊>干草羊。本研究发现,在150日龄时卡拉库尔羊的瘤胃乳头高度和宽度与湖羊的网胃乳头高度和宽度均低于90日龄,推测其原因可能与150日龄时饲粮中粗饲料比例显著提高有关。本研究发现,150日龄时卡拉库尔羊和湖羊的皱胃肌层厚度和黏膜层厚度均低于90日龄。王斯琴塔娜[36]发现,饲喂优质青干草和玉米秸秆对犊牛消化道组织的形态会产生不同影响,秸秆组犊牛皱胃肌层厚度较青干草组低。我们推测,在90日龄时,饲粮过渡已经完成,但饲粮中的纤维水平尚未达到预期标准;而至150日龄时,饲粮中的纤维水平已进入稳定状态,这可能是导致绵羊皱胃收缩频率下降的原因。

3.2 90和150日龄湖羊和卡拉库尔羊肠道组织形态比较

小肠在动物体内扮演着至关重要的角色,作为营养物质消化与吸收的核心场所,其功能性表现与生理架构紧密相连,因此,肠黏膜的组织结构是动物健康状况的关键指示器[37-38]。小肠绒毛显著提升了小肠的表面积,从而增强了小肠对营养物质的吸收能力,绒毛高度与其营养物质吸收能力呈正相关,绒毛高度增加,使营养物质的吸收效率提升,此外,较长的绒毛结构构成了一道物理屏障,有利于抵御有害病原体的侵袭,绒隐比越大,表明肠黏膜的吸收和消化功能更为强,因此小肠绒毛高度和隐窝深度是评估其消化与吸收能力的关键参数[39-41]。有研究发现,18月龄西门塔尔杂交牛十二指肠绒毛高度显著高于宣汉黄牛和犏牛,而宣汉黄牛空肠和回肠绒毛高度显著高于西门塔尔杂交牛,犏牛十二指肠、空肠和回肠的绒隐比均小于宣汉黄牛[42]。孙青松等[43]研究表明,成年西门塔尔牛空肠绒毛高度较草原红牛和利木赞牛更高,绒隐比也大于草原红牛和利木赞牛。本研究中,90日龄湖羊十二指肠和空肠绒毛高度、隐窝深度以及回肠绒毛高度和绒隐比均显著低于卡拉库尔羊,但在150日龄时湖羊和卡拉库尔羊的十二指肠、空肠和回肠的绒毛高度、隐窝深度及绒隐比均无显著差异,推测卡拉库尔羊在90日龄前具有更强的肠道发育优势,但在后期湖羊隐窝深度和绒隐比的代偿性升高可能暗示其独特的适应策略。
小肠绒毛内富含的毛细血管网络及淋巴组织为营养物质的吸收及免疫防御提供了结构基础,绒毛的高度与其消化吸收的表面积成正比,因此,绒毛高度增加,相应的消化吸收能力亦随之增强[44],隐窝深度的降低可作为肠上皮细胞更新速率的一个指标,随着隐窝深度的变浅,肠道上皮细胞的分泌功能得到提升,进而强化了化学消化能力[45]。本研究表明,在150日龄时卡拉库尔羊的十二指肠和空肠隐窝深度均低于90日龄,而在150日龄时湖羊十二指肠及空肠隐窝深度高于90日龄,说明卡拉库尔羊发育状态较好。

4 结论

综上所述,在相同饲养条件下,90日龄的湖羊与卡拉库尔羊在瘤胃、皱胃、十二指肠、空肠和回肠的生理结构上存在差异,而到150日龄时两者在皱胃的生理结构上仍存在差异。品种与日龄的交互作用对绵羊的瘤胃乳头高度、瘤胃肌层厚度、瓣胃中央肌层厚度、皱胃肌层厚度、皱胃黏膜层厚度、空肠绒毛高度、空肠隐窝深度及回肠绒隐比有显著或极显著影响。
