Abstract

This experiment was conducted to explore the effects of corn stover fermented by lactic acid bacteria on growth performance, nutrient apparent digestibility, and rumen fermentation parameters and microbiota of beef cattle. Forty healthy Simmental cattle aged 16 months were selected and randomly divided into the control group (CON group) and the lactic acid bacteria group (LAB group), with 20 replicates in each group and 1 cattle in each replicate. The CON group was fed a basal diet mainly composed of corn stover as roughage, while the LAB group replaced the corn stover in the basal diet with the lactic acid bacteria-fermented corn stover in equal amounts. The pre-experiment was 15 days and the formal experiment was 75 days. The results showed as follows: 1) compared with the CON group, the final body weight, average daily gain and dry matter intake in the LAB group were significantly increased (P<0.05). 2) Compared with the CON group, the apparent digestibility of dry matter and crude protein in the LAB group was significantly increased (P<0.05). 3) Compared with the CON group, the contents of rumen ammonia nitrogen, microbial protein, propionic acid, butyric acid and total volatile fatty acids in the LAB group were significantly increased (P<0.05), while the rumen acetic acid content was significantly decreased (P<0.05). 4) Compared with the CON group, the Shannon index of the rumen microbiota in the LAB group was significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the Simpson index was significantly increased (P<0.05). The relative abundances of Streptococcus, Succiniclasticum, Prevotellaceae_UCG-003 and Acetobacter in the LAB group were significantly increased (P<0.05). In conclusion, the corn stover fermented by lactic acid bacteria can enhance the growth performance of beef cattle by optimizing the rumen microbiota structure, improving the rumen fermentation, and increasing the nutrient apparent digestibility.

肉牛产业作为节粮型畜牧产业的重要组成部分,在优化我国节粮型畜种结构、提升人民生活品质方面发挥着关键作用。在肉牛养殖成本中,饲料成本占比超过70%[1]。随着我国经济社会的持续发展,市场对牛肉的需求逐年升高,由此推动肉牛养殖规模不断扩大,也使得对优质粗饲料的需求量日益增加[2]
玉米秸秆是玉米生产的主要副产物,我国年产量高达2.1亿t[3-4],这一庞大的资源为其饲料化利用提供了充足的原料基础。然而,玉米秸秆具有粗纤维含量高、适口性差以及能量水平低等固有缺陷,导致其目前的饲料化利用率仍旧较低[5]。适当的预处理能改善玉米秸秆的营养价值,在众多方法中微生物处理是近年来较受欢迎的绿色处理方式,不仅能改善玉米秸秆的适口性[6],还能提高动物采食量[7]。乳酸菌作为传统青贮添加剂,可优化微生物群落结构,有效抑制有害菌生长,进而提升青贮饲料的营养价值和安全性[8]。然而,关于乳酸菌发酵玉米秸秆对肉牛生长性能和瘤胃微生物区系影响的研究有限。因此,本试验旨在利用乳酸菌发酵的方式处理玉米秸秆,评估乳酸菌发酵玉米秸秆对肉牛生长性能、养分表观消化率以及瘤胃发酵参数和微生物区系的影响,以期为乳酸菌发酵玉米秸秆在肉牛养殖中的科学应用提供依据。

ADG(kg/d)=[终末体重(kg)-初始体重(kg)]/试验天数(d);
DMI(kg/d)=平均喂料量(kg/d)×DM含量(%)-平均剩料量(kg/d)×DM含量(%);
F/G=DMI(kg/d)/ADG(kg/d)。

1.4.3 养分表观消化率测定

于正试期第73~75天,连续3 d采用全收粪法收集试验牛粪便样品,将每头试验牛3 d的粪样等比例混匀,留取鲜重10%的粪样加入酒石酸固氮装盒并标记,放入-20 ℃冰箱冷冻保存。试验结束后,将冷冻粪便样品置于60~75 ℃烘箱烘干至恒重后室温回潮24 h,然后将样品称重、粉碎至粉末状且通过40目筛后用于后续养分表观消化率的测定。选择盐酸不溶灰分(AIA)作为测定各养分表观消化率的指示剂,粪便DM、CP、NDF和ADF含量的测定方法同1.4.1,AIA含量参照GB/T 23742—2009中方法测定,并采用内源性指示剂法计算养分表观消化率,计算公式如下:
某养分表观消化率(%)=100-100×(饲粮AIA含量/粪便AIA含量)×(粪便该养分含量/饲粮该养分含量)。

1.4.4 瘤胃液采集及瘤胃发酵参数测定

于正试期第75天晨饲前,对每头试验牛采用胃管式瘤胃液采集器经口腔采集瘤胃液200 mL。为减少唾液污染,弃去前50 mL瘤胃液,随后继续采集200 mL瘤胃液。采集后立即采用PHB-5型笔式便携pH计现场测定瘤胃液pH。剩余瘤胃液经4层纱布过滤后,分装于5 mL无菌冻存管中,并于-20 ℃冰箱冷冻保存,用于后续挥发性脂肪酸(VFA)、氨态氮(NH3-N)和微生物蛋白(MCP)含量的测定。瘤胃液NH3-N含量参照冯宗慈等[9]的比色法进行测定,MCP含量采用考马斯亮蓝法[10]进行测定,VFA含量采用GC-2014C气相色谱仪(岛津,日本)进行测定[11]

1.5 数据统计和分析

试验数据通过Excel 2021整理后,采用SPSS 26.0软件进行独立样本t检验,结果数据以平均值和均值标准误(SEM)表示,P<0.05为差异显著。微生物测序数据在美吉云平台采用mothur软件计算alpha多样性指数,并采用Wilcoxon秩和检验进行alpha多样性的组间差异比较分析;采用基于Bray-Curtis距离算法的主坐标分析(PCoA)检验组间样本微生物群落结构的相似性,并结合置换多元方差分析(PERMANOVA)非参数检验分析组间样本微生物群落结构差异是否显著;采用线性判别分析(LDA)效应大小(LEfSe)分析(LDA>3,P<0.05)确定不同组间从门到属水平相对丰度差异显著的细菌类群。

3 讨论

3.1 乳酸菌发酵玉米秸秆对肉牛生长性能的影响

在肉牛养殖中,玉米秸秆对促进肉牛增重和瘤胃发育具有重要作用[12]。本试验结果表明,LAB组肉牛终末体重、ADG和DMI均显著高于CON组,这可能是由于发酵玉米秸秆中添加了纤维素酶,破坏了纤维素与木质素的交联结构,从而改善了瘤胃微生物对秸秆中营养物质的利用率[13-14];同时,发酵玉米秸秆中的乳酸菌还可抑制大肠杆菌、沙门氏菌等有害菌在瘤胃内的定植[15-16],优化肠道菌群结构,从而增强对营养物质的消化吸收[17]。叶娟等[18]在肉牛饲养试验中发现,发酵玉米秸秆饲粮组肉牛ADG显著提高,与本试验结果一致。此外,王维中等[19]的发酵玉米秸秆梯度添加试验进一步证明,乳酸菌发酵玉米秸秆对肉牛生长发育具有积极的作用。不过,本试验虽然发现LAB组肉牛生长性能更优,但F/G并无显著变化,这说明乳酸菌发酵玉米秸秆主要是通过刺激肉牛采食,增加营养物质摄入量来提高ADG。

3.2 乳酸菌发酵玉米秸秆对肉牛养分表观消化率的影响

养分表观消化率是评价动物营养物质消化吸收的重要指标,受饲粮组成、原料加工方式等多种因素的影响[20]。本试验结果发现,饲喂乳酸菌发酵玉米秸秆饲粮显著提高肉牛DM和CP表观消化率,这可能是由于乳酸菌发酵产生的多重效应所致:一方面,乳酸菌剂中添加的纤维素酶有助于降解饲料中的纤维类物质[21];另一方面,乳酸菌通过刺激肉牛肠道中原有微生物的活性,促进机体对饲粮中非纤维组分的降解和利用[22]。刘学贤等[23]研究也表明,乳酸菌发酵玉米秸秆能显著提高肉牛DM表观消化率。

3.3 乳酸菌发酵玉米秸秆对肉牛瘤胃发酵参数的影响

VFA是反刍动物最主要的能量来源[24],其中乙酸是体内脂肪酸合成的重要前体[25],丙酸是合成葡萄糖和储存能量的关键前体[26]。本试验中,LAB组肉牛瘤胃乙酸含量显著低于CON组,而瘤胃丙酸含量显著高于CON组,这与屈雷宇等[27]的研究结果一致,该研究发现乳酸菌发酵玉米秸秆能够降低瘤胃乙酸含量,提高瘤胃丙酸含量。此外,本试验用来发酵玉米秸秆添加的纤维素酶,能将粗纤维降解为低聚糖等更易消化的小分子碳水化合物[17]。这些小分子更易被瘤胃微生物利用,并使丙酸成为其主要代谢产物,最终导致瘤胃发酵模式的改变。同时,本试验中LAB组瘤胃TVFA含量显著高于CON组,这与瘤胃中丙酸含量的大幅度提高有关。然而,本研究发现瘤胃pH无显著变化,这可能是由于采食量的提升促进了肉牛的咀嚼和反刍,刺激唾液大量分泌[28-29],中和了瘤胃中的酸性物质,从而在更高的营养摄入水平上维持了瘤胃的酸碱动态平衡。

3.4 乳酸菌发酵玉米秸秆对肉牛瘤胃微生物区系的影响

瘤胃微生物群落在调控反刍动物营养代谢、消化吸收及维持机体健康中具有核心作用[30]。饲粮组成是影响瘤胃微生物群落结构和功能的关键因素之一[31]。本试验结果发现,乳酸菌发酵玉米秸秆改变了肉牛瘤胃群落结构,具体表现为Shannon指数和链球菌属等厚壁菌门微生物相对丰度的显著提升。该结果与孙瑜良[32]采用甘草茎叶与全株玉米混合青贮饲喂西门塔尔肉牛的研究结果相似,该研究发现混合青贮可改变肉牛瘤胃微生物多样性,显著提高瘤胃厚壁菌门相对丰度。其可能原因是发酵玉米秸秆通过为特定瘤胃微生物提供适宜的生态位和营养底物,从而促进其定植和增殖,最终改变微生物群落结构。
本试验发现,与CON组相比,LAB组瘤胃链球菌属相对丰度显著提高,这可能与玉米秸秆中的木质纤维素降解后引起葡萄糖含量升高有关[33]。已有研究指出,链球菌属能够利用乳酸并将其转化为丙酸,这与本试验中LAB组瘤胃丙酸含量升高的结果一致。普雷沃氏菌属是反刍动物瘤胃中参与碳水化合物和氢代谢的核心微生物[34]。本试验中,普雷沃氏菌科UCG-003在LAB组瘤胃中显著富集,该菌属基因组中含有多糖利用位点,可编码一系列降解复杂碳水化合物的酶[35],这可能也是本试验中LAB组DM表观消化率显著升高的原因之一。此外,普雷沃氏菌属具备丙酸合成能力[36-37],所生成的丙酸有助于促进葡萄糖转化和能量供应[38],这与本试验发现LAB组肉牛生长性能改善的结果相吻合。Cui等[39]研究也证实,饲喂全株玉米青贮可提高肉牛瘤胃普雷沃氏菌科UCG-003相对丰度。
本试验还发现,肉牛生长性能和养分表观消化率与瘤胃微生物存在显著相关性。醋酸杆菌属是LAB组瘤胃微生物的标志类群,其相对丰度与DM表观消化率、ADG以及瘤胃NH3-N、乙酸和TVFA含量均呈显著正相关,这与Accetto等[40]的研究结果相似,说明醋酸杆菌属可能通过促进VFA生成和增强纤维类物质降解,对肉牛生长性能产生积极影响[41]。此外,塞加特菌属和芽孢杆菌科是CON组瘤胃微生物的标志类群。同时,塞加特菌属相对丰度与瘤胃丙酸含量和CP表观消化率均呈极显著负相关,表明其可能抑制瘤胃发酵功能;芽孢杆菌科相对丰度与瘤胃NH3-N含量呈显著负相关,推测该菌群可能会减少蛋白质降解过程中氨的释放,从而促进氮存留[42]

4 结论
