四种植物蛋白对中华绒螯蟹幼蟹生长性能、氨基酸沉积率和抗氧化酶活性的影响

为了筛选适宜于养殖中华绒螯蟹幼蟹的饲料植物蛋白源,探究不同植物蛋白源饲料对幼蟹生长性能、氨基酸沉积率和抗氧化性能等方面的影响,以50%的鱼粉配制基础饲料（记为FM）,分别采用30.5%发酵豆粕、32.5%豆粕、28%棉粕和39%菜粕替代基础饲料中鱼粉总量的50%,配制成4种等氮等能的饲料（分别记为FSBM、SBM、CSM和RSM）,投喂初始体重为（0.249±0.003）g的中华绒螯蟹幼蟹8周。结果表明:（1）与FM组相比,FSBM、SBM和CSM组的增重率、特定生长率、饲料系数、蛋白质效率和蛋白质沉积率均没有显著性差异;RSM组的增重率与FM组相比差异不显著（P>0.05）,但显著低于SBM组（P < 0.05）,而其饲料系数则显著高于FM、FSBM及SBM组（P < 0.05）,蛋白质效率显著低于其他各组（P < 0.05）,蛋白质沉积率显著低于SBM和CSM组（P < 0.05）。（2）不同植物蛋白组的总必需氨基酸沉积率和FM组相比差异不显著（P>0.05）,而RSM组总必需氨基酸沉积率显著低于FSBM和CSM组（P < 0.05）。（3）与FM组相比,不同植物蛋白组蟹的血清和肝胰腺中超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶（GSH-PX）活性和肝胰腺丙二醛（MDA）含量并没有显著的影响,而RSM组血清丙二醛（MDA）含量显著的高于其他各组（P < 0.05）。结果表明,在幼蟹饲料中,豆粕、发酵豆粕和棉粕替代基础配方中鱼粉的50%后并未对幼蟹的生长性能、氨基酸沉积率及抗氧化能力造成负面的影响,发酵豆粕、豆粕和棉粕可以作为替代鱼粉的适宜蛋白源,且添加水平约在30%左右。菜粕替代后降低了饲料的利用和氨基酸沉积效率,这可能是由于菜粕的蛋白质消化率低、含有相应的抗营养因子和添加水平过高所致,建议使用前应适当进行脱毒处理,并与或和其他植物蛋白配伍使用。     

稻虾田黄鳝的食物组成及其对克氏原螯虾捕食强度研究

文章研究了稻田黄鳝(Monopterus albus)天然饵料生物资源、稻田黄鳝对克氏原螯虾(Procambarus clarkii)捕食选择及不同投喂策略下黄鳝对克氏原螯虾的捕食强度,旨在为构建与优化稻-虾-鳝综合种养模式提供依据。结果表明,稻田中黄鳝天然饵料生物种类丰富,达16种(属);克氏原螯虾是黄鳝最喜猎物,其次为米虾,再次为蚯蚓和水生寡毛类;稻田黄鳝自然生长期间,其胃和肠前端食物团中,克氏原螯虾重量百分比均显著高于其他猎物,其中8月份占比最大,达93.90%, 4月份占比最小,为76.85%;当克氏原螯虾为唯一食物时,每尾大规格成鳝(≥200 g)日均捕食量为(1.63±0.065) g;当克氏原螯虾、米虾和蚯蚓作为食物时,黄鳝主要捕食克氏原螯虾且不捕食蚯蚓,对三者的选择指数分别为0.066、–0.266和–1;若以克氏原螯虾、鱼糜-饲料为食物时,黄鳝主要摄食鱼糜-饲料,极少捕食克氏原螯虾,对两者的选择指数分别为–0.846和0.591。     

两种绿藻辅助饲喂对克氏原螯虾生理活性的影响

以克氏原螯虾为研究对象, 测定了在正常投喂人工颗粒饲料的基础上辅助添加小球藻、刚毛藻饲喂克氏原螯虾的生理活性。结果表明: 试验期间添加小球藻(1.0×106-1.0×107 cells·L-1)、刚毛藻(0.06-0.08 g·L-1)对克氏原螯虾的生长与存活率均无显著影响(P >0.05), 但肌肉超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和肝胰脏酸性磷酸酶(ACP)的活性显著降低(P <0.05); 机体的血细胞密度显著增加(P <0.05), 外骨骼和肌肉中虾青素的含量极显著增加(P <0.01); 单独添加刚毛藻肌肉虾青素含量也显著提高(P <0.05), 血清、肝胰脏和肌肉碱性磷酸酶(AKP)的活性极显著提高(P <0.01), 肝胰脏酸性磷酸酶的活性极显著降低(P <0.01)。摄食小球藻和刚毛藻对于克氏原螯虾的抗逆活性和免疫能力具有促进作用, 养殖水体中适度添加小球藻和刚毛藻有助于克氏原螯虾的健康与活力。     

发酵豆粕替代鱼粉和豆粕对罗氏沼虾生长、血清生化及免疫基因表达的影响

为研究发酵豆粕在罗氏沼虾饲料中的适宜用量及替代后可能造成的影响, 以含有30%鱼粉和18%豆粕的饲料为基础饲料(T0组), 分别用2% (T2组)、5% (T5组)、8% (T8组)、15% (T15组)的发酵豆粕等蛋白替代基础饲料中的鱼粉和豆粕(2﹕1), 共配制5种等氮等能的实验饲料。选用初始均重为(0.17±0.02) g的罗氏沼虾在室内水泥池网箱中进行为期64d的养殖实验。结果显示, 发酵豆粕对鱼粉和豆粕的替代量影响罗氏沼虾的生长、血清生化及免疫基因表达。随着发酵豆粕添加量的增加, 增重率和特定生长率呈先升后降的趋势, 都以T8组最高。血清中丙二醛含量、超氧化物歧化酶活力随发酵豆粕添加量的增加均呈先升后降的趋势, 各替代组丙二醛含量均显著高于对照组(P<0.05); 血清谷丙转氨酶、谷草转氨酶活性和总蛋白含量呈先下降后上升的趋势, 且替代组不同程度低于对照组; T15组Toll受体、NF-κB、HSP70转录水平表达量显著高于其他各组(P<0.05)。以上结果表明用不同水平的发酵豆粕替代鱼粉和豆粕, 显著影响罗氏沼虾的生长性能、抗氧化能力及免疫机能; 在实验条件下, 罗氏沼虾饲料中的发酵豆粕最佳使用量为8%。     

克氏原螯虾两种养殖模式的食物网结构及其食性比较

为比较克氏原螯虾(Procambarus clarkii)精养模式和稻虾共作模式下的食物网结构及其食性差异, 对两种养殖模式的基础食源与消费者的δ13C和δ15N进行了分析, 并借助SIBER考察了各自的食物网结构, 定量计算不同饵料对克氏原螯虾食物的贡献率。结果显示: 在采集的19种样品中, 消费者的δ13C值介于–34.22‰—–25.34‰, δ15N值介于2.33‰—8.05‰, 营养级介于1.46—3.64; 在精养模式下克氏原螯虾的营养级(2.34)高于共作模式(1.79)。食物网结构参数对比表明, 两种模式下克氏原螯虾的生态空间利用率接近, 但共作模式的食物网营养结构多样性较高, 群落的营养生态位范围较宽, 食物网的营养冗余程度较低, 不同物种竞争激烈程度较低; 食性分析显示, 在两种模式下克氏原螯虾的δ15N值与其体长、体重具有线性正相关关系, 说明克氏原螯虾营养级随着其体型增大而提高, 另外克氏原螯虾在两种养殖模式中均偏向于摄食动物性饵料, 共作模式中克氏原螯虾饵料来源分布较精养模式更均匀, 其植物性饵料贡献率较精养模式更高。研究表明: 精养模式的物质能量从基础食源传至克氏原螯虾的传递损耗较共作模式要高; 与精养模式相比, 稻虾共作模式中克氏原螯虾更偏向植食性。     

克氏原螯虾的入侵生态学研究进展

克氏原螯虾(Procambarus clarkii)原产于美国南部和墨西哥北部,是一个著名入侵物种,作为一种水产经济资源物种在世界各地扩散。克氏原螯虾抗逆性强,所具有的广泛生境适应性、生长迅速、高生殖率等特点使它们迅速建立野生种群。近10余年的研究认为,克氏原螯虾通过捕食和资源竞争等机制严重威胁引入地的水生植物、无脊椎动物、两栖类等的生存,显著降低引入地的生物多样性。当前,由于克氏原螯虾的经济价值高,它会借助于人力的作用而继续扩散。为认清和减少克氏原螯虾对引入地的生态影响,应加强以下方面的研究:1)在中国开展克氏原螯虾的生态危害的调查和研究;2)克氏原螯虾种群调节和控制对策研究;3)被入侵地的生态恢复工作。

基于生态位模型的外来入侵种克氏原螯虾在中国的适生区预测

克氏原螯虾在20世纪初作为重要的水产品引入中国,但因其繁殖能力强、生长迅速、适应性强、喜掘洞穴,对农作物、池埂及农田水利有一定破坏作用,降低入侵地区当地物种多样性,对当地生态系统造成严重危害。因此,研究未来气候情景下克氏原螯虾适生区的变化,可为其监控和管理措施提供关键信息,有效预防和控制其蔓延。本研究基于克氏原螯虾的分布点,应用最大熵(MaxEnt)模型和规则集遗传算法(GARP)模型模拟了当前气候条件下克氏原螯虾在中国的潜在适生区,并预测了2041—2060年和2061—2080年克氏原螯虾在4种气候变化情景下(RCP 2.6、RCP 4.5、RCP 6.0、RCP 8.5)的分布,采用ROC曲线对预测结果进行检验和评价。结果表明: 在当前气候条件下克氏原螯虾集中分布在上海、江苏、浙江、安徽等长江沿岸地区;最冷季平均温度、最冷月最低温度对克氏原螯虾分布影响最大,其次是温度季节性变化、最暖月最高温度和最干月降水量。在未来气候情景下,2061—2080年克氏原螯虾的适生区面积有不同程度的变化,在RCP 2.6和RCP 4.5情景下总适生面积增加,但在RCP 8.5情景下呈先增后减趋势,而在RCP 6.0情景下无明显变化;克氏原螯虾适生区在空间分布上不仅有纬度方向上的扩散,也有向海拔较高地区迁移的趋势。     

克氏原螯虾洞穴的生态特征及其对水利工程安全影响的初步研究

在分类学上,克氏原螯虾(Procambarus clarkia(Girard))隶属于节肢动物门,甲壳纲,十足目,爬行亚目,螯虾科,原螯虾属[1]。克氏原螯虾为外来物种,原产于北美洲,主要分布在美国南部和墨西哥北部,1930年引入日本,约在20世纪40年代由日本引入我国南京[2],由于食性广、繁殖快、生长迅速、适应性强,现在已成为分布于长江中下游地区一些水域虾类资源的优势种群。克氏原螯虾具有掘洞的习性,洞穴在其生活史中是重要的环境要素,因此人们一直担心其对江河大堤和水库大坝会造成危害[3]。国外对克氏原螯虾的穴居行为以及对农田的危害作过一些研究[4—6],但国内类似的研究以及有关克氏原螯虾对水利工程影响的研究尚属空白。作者就克氏原螯虾掘洞生态习性及其对堤坝工程安全影响开展了初步研究,以期为有关部门采取有效措施来降低其不利影响和根除隐患,确保水利工程的安全提供一些科学的决策依据。1材料与方法1&#183;1研究区域研究区域为长江中下游地区的湖南、湖北、江西、安徽、江苏和上海五省一市,该区域克氏原螯虾种群分布较多,洪水发生频率较高。研究水体为江河、湖泊、水库、塘堰和沟渠,重点研究长江干流荆江段、鄱阳湖、洞庭湖、三湖连江水库...     

饲料中黄曲霉毒素B1对克氏原螯虾幼虾生长、饲料利用和肝胰腺组织结构的影响

以含不同浓度黄曲霉毒素B₁(AFB₁)(0、10、100和1000μg/kg饲料)的4种饲料饲喂初始均重为(0.382±0.005) g的克氏原螯虾(Procambarus clarkii)幼虾42d,探讨AFB₁对克氏原螯虾幼虾生长性能、饲料效率和肝胰腺组织结构的影响。结果显示, 100和1000μg/kg毒素组幼虾的存活率、摄食率、终末体重、特定生长率和饲料效率均显著低于对照组, 10μg/kg毒素组与对照组无显著差异。10μg/kg毒素组幼虾肝胰腺碱性磷酸酶(AKP)、谷丙转氨酶(ALT)、谷草转氨酶(AST)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)、谷胱甘肽转移酶(GST)活性和丙二醛(MDA)含量均与对照组无显著差异,超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性显著低于对照组。饲料AFB₁含量≥100μg/kg时显著影响了克氏原螯虾幼虾上述肝胰腺酶的活性。10μg/kg毒素组肝胰腺组织结构发生轻微变化, 100和1000μg/kg毒素组幼虾的肝胰腺表现出严重病变, R细胞数量减少而B细胞...     

南极磷虾粉替代鱼粉对雌性黄鳝生长及生殖性能的影响

试验旨在研究南极磷虾粉替代鱼粉对雌性黄鳝(Monopterus albus)生长性能、体组成、抗氧化能力、非特异性免疫能力及生殖力的影响。选取二冬龄雌性黄鳝[初始体重(36.41±3.62) g]900尾,随机分为6组(每组3个重复,每个重复50尾),分别饲喂以南极磷虾粉替代饲料中0(对照)、20%、40%、60%、80%和100%的鱼粉制成的6种等氮等能配合饲料,试验周期12周。结果表明:20%磷虾粉替代鱼粉时,雌性黄鳝的增重率(WGR)、特定生长率(SGR)与对照组无显著性差异(P>0.05),但随着替代水平的进一步提高其生长性能显著下降(P<0.05)。20%替代组黄鳝肌肉的粗蛋白质含量显著高于其他组(P<0.05),而粗脂肪、粗灰分各组间无显著差异(P>0.05)。对黄鳝卵巢营养成分进行分析表明,当磷虾粉替代鱼粉比例超过60%时,其粗蛋白、粗脂肪含量均显著下降,水分含量逐渐升高(P<0.05)。进一步对黄鳝肝脏的抗氧化能力进行分析显示,当磷虾粉替代鱼粉比例大于40%时,其超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性逐渐下降,而丙二醛(MDA)含量逐渐升高; 100...     

不同性别和生长阶段对克氏原螯虾肠道菌群多样性的影响

为研究性别和生长阶段对克氏原螯虾(Procambarus clarkii)肠道菌群的影响,实验对来自虾塘的雌雄成虾肠道样品及来自实验室养殖的幼虾和成虾的肠道样品进行了16S rRNA高通量测序分析。结果表明,不同性别间克氏原螯虾肠道菌群的多样性和功能均没有显著性差异(独立样本t检验:P>0.05),其优势菌群在门水平上均包括厚壁菌门(Firmicutes)、变形菌门(Proteobacteria)和拟杆菌门(Bacteroidetes)等;属水平上包括拟杆菌属(Bacteroidia)、希瓦氏菌属(Shewanella)、梭菌属(Clostridium)和柠檬酸杆菌属(Citrobacter)等;但各优势菌群在个体间的丰度差异较大,且在成虾阶段趋于保守,属肠道常驻菌群。幼虾肠道菌群的Alpha多样性显著高于成虾(独立样本t检验:P<0.05)。在门水平上,优势菌群较为一致,包括变形菌门、拟杆菌门、厚壁菌门和放线菌门(Actinobacteria)。成虾厚壁菌门与拟杆菌门的比例高于幼虾,表明成虾分解食物和吸收营养的潜力更强。在属水平上,成虾和幼虾肠道中均存在大量的黄杆菌属(F...     

Meat meal in the diet of the early-weaned pig IV. The supplementation of diets with tryptophane,lysine and methionine

Two experiments were conducted with 72 pigs between 28 and 56 days of age to study the effect of tryptophane supplementation on their performance when fed on diets containing wheat and meat meal.In the first experiment, pigs were fed on a basal diet (Diet 1) or on the same diet supplemented with calcium dihydrogen phosphate (Diet 2), bone meal (Diet 3) or bone meal plus tryptophane (Diet 4), all to 3.1% calcium. The weight gains of the pigs (315 g day^?1) fed on Diet 3 were significantly lower than that of the pigs fed on the other three diets (363 g day^?1). The feed conversion ratios showed a similar trend. Diet 3 contained 0.16% tryptophane while the other diets contained 0.18–0.19% tryptophane. The crude protein, lysine and methionine contents of all diets were similar.In the second experiment, a basal diet containing meat meal and bone meal was supplemented with tryptophane, lysine plus methionine or all three amino acids. Feed intake was increased by all amino acid supplements. Weight gains were improved significantly (57%) by the addition of all three amino acids to the diets, but the improvements due to tryptophane alone (28%) or methionine plus lysine (35%) were not significant. Tryptophane supplementation alone or with lysine plus methionine increased the nitrogen retention of the pigs.It was concluded that the requirement for tryptophane of pigs between 28 and 56 days of age was greater than 0.16% of diets containing wheat and meat meal.     

Meat meal in the diet of the early-weaned pig. II. Amino acid supplementation

One hundred and twenty pigs, initially 4–5 kg liveweight, were fed on wheat-based diets supplemented with meat meal and amino acids in two experiments, each of 4 weeks duration.In the first experiment, the supplementation of a normal meat meal diet with lysine and methionine increased the feed intake and weight gains of the pigs by 15 and 18%, respectively. Nitrogen retention was increased by 30%. Tryptophane gave a similar response to lysine and methionine.In the second experiment, a 21% crude protein basal diet was similar to the basal diet of the first experiment but it contained 1.02% lysine and 0.50% methionine plus cystine, compared to 0.90 and 0.51%, respectively, in the first experiment. Lysine and methionine supplementation of the diet did not significantly improve the performance of the pigs in the second experiment, but the supplementation of the diets with 0.08% tryptophane and lysine and methionine increased weight gains and feed intakes and decreased urea content of the blood plasma. The 21% crude protein diet contained 0.15% tryptophane.Increasing the crude protein content of diets from 18 to 24% by increasing their meat meal content increased the daily weight gains from 190 to 276 g.     

异育银鲫幼鱼对饲料中赖氨酸的利用及需要量研究

以添加晶体氨基酸的半精制饲料饲喂异育银鲫幼鱼,通过69d的生长实验来确定其赖氨酸需要量。饲料以白鱼粉为主要蛋白源,饲料中的总赖氨酸含量分别为1.82%、2.32%、2.82%、3.32%3、.82%、4.32%和4.82%7个水平。实验在室内循环水养殖系统中进行,每种饲料随机3个重复。实验结果表明,异育银鲫能够利用饲料中的晶体赖氨酸、蛋氨酸。在投喂后3h,其血浆中的游离赖氨酸、蛋氨酸含量最高。当饲料中赖氨酸含量为3.32%时,异育银鲫的终末尾均重、特定生长率和鱼空壳占体重的百分比最高,肝体指数最低。当饲料中赖氨酸含量为3.82%时,异育银鲫的干物质表观消化率显著高于其他组(PPP>0.05)。血红蛋白含量以赖氨酸含量为2.82%的饲料组最高,4.82%组最低;随着饲料中赖氨酸含量的升高,异育银鲫红细胞数下降,血清脲氮含量升高,且血清脲氮含量具有组间显著性差异(P<0.05)。根据折线法,由异育银鲫的特定生长率同饲料中赖氨酸水平的相关性得出其赖氨酸需要量为3.27%,占饲料蛋白的8.52%。       

Use of alternative protein sources for fishmeal replacement in the diet of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). Part II: effects of supplementation with methionine or taurine on growth,feed utilization,and health

Fishmeal has long been a staple protein feedstuff for fish, but its global shortage and high price have prompted its replacement with alternative sustainable sources. In this experiment involving largemouth bass (a carnivorous fish), a new mixture of feedstuffs (45% poultry byproduct meal, 30% soybean meal, 15% blood meal, and 10% krill shrimp meal) was added to low (14.5%) fishmeal diets along with 0.0%, 0.5% taurine, 0.5% methionine, or 0.5% taurine plus 0.5% methionine (dry matter basis). The positive control diet [65.3% fishmeal (46% crude protein on dry matter basis)] and all low-fishmeal diets contained 40% true protein and 10% lipids. There were 3 tanks per treatment group (20 fish/tank). Fish with the mean initial body weight of 16.6 g were fed to satiety twice daily. Compared with the unsupplemented low-fishmeal group, supplementing either 0.5% methionine or 0.5% methionine plus 0.5% taurine to the low-fishmeal diet improved (P < 0.05) the growth, feed utilization, retention of dietary protein and lipids, and health of largemouth bass, reduced (P < 0.05) the occurrence of black skin syndrome from ~ 40 to ~ 10%. Histological sections of tissues from the fish with black skin syndrome showed retina degeneration, liver damage, and enteritis in the intestine. Compared with methionine supplementation, supplementing 0.5% taurine alone to the low-fishmeal diet did not affect the growth or feed efficiency of fish and had less beneficial effects (P < 0.05) on ameliorating the black skin syndrome. These results indicated that: (a) the basal low-fishmeal diet was inadequate in methionine or taurine; and (b) dietary supplementation with methionine was an effective method to improve the growth performance, feed efficiency, and health of largemouth bass. Further studies are warranted to understand the pathogenesis of the black skin syndrome in largemouth bass.

     

Effects of dietary soybean protein levels on energy budget of the southern catfish, Silurus meridionalis

Energy budgets were calculated for the southern catfish, Silurus meridionalis, fed diets replacing 0%, 13%, 26%, 39%, 52% and 65% fish meal protein with soybean meal (SBM) protein with or without methionine supplementation to apparent satiation at 27.5 degrees C. With increasing dietary soybean protein levels (SPL), the feed energy lost in feces, excretion and metabolism increased, while that available for growth decreased (P<0.05). When 0.12% or 0.26% methionine at 39% SPL was added to reach that in body carcass or the control group (0% SPL), no significant differences were found in each component of energy budgets. When 0.21% or 0.33% methionine at 52% SPL was added to reach the content of methionine in body carcass or the control group, energy spent on growth increased, but that on excretion and metabolism decreased (P<0.05). These results suggested that the differences in growth rate among the southern catfish fed the diets with different SPL were due to decreasing absorption rate, increasing excretion and metabolism with increasing dietary SPL. The most important factor limiting the use of soybean protein was the imbalance of essential amino acids, which resulted in more energy spent on metabolism and excretion, less energy on growth. Supplementation of methionine produced a relatively better amino acid profile and subsequently improved the utilization of soybean protein at high SPL, which resulted in less energy used for metabolism or lost in excretion and more energy available for growth.     

Effects of exogenous enzymes (phytase, non-starch polysaccharide enzyme) in diets on growth, feed utilization, nitrogen and phosphorus excretion of Japanese seabass, Lateolabrax japonicus

A feeding experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of exogenous enzymes (phytase, non-starch polysaccharide enzymes: WX and VP, supplied by DSM) on growth performance and excretion of Japanese seabass (Lateolabrax japonicus) (initial mass 6.26+/-0.10 g). A basal diet was used as a control that contained a mixed protein source, and lysine, methionine and valine were supplemented to simulate the essential amino acid pattern of fish meal. Four other diets were supplemented with 200 mg phytase (500 IU), 400 mg VP, 800 mg WX, or a combination of 800 mg WX and 400 mg VP per kg diet, respectively. Each diet was assigned to triplicate groups of fish in floating sea cages, and each cage was stocked with 60 fish. The results showed specific growth rate (SGR) and feed efficiency ratio (FER) were not significantly improved by the phytase supplementation. However, supplementations with WX and VP significantly enhanced the SGR and FER (P<0.05). Phosphorus retention was significantly increased by the supplementation with phytase, whereas nitrogen retention was also enhanced by supplementations of non-starch polysaccharide enzymes (P<0.05). The excretion experiment showed that the soluble phosphorus and ammonia nitrogen in starved fish were constant, irrespective of dietary treatments. The total phosphorus effluent in fish fed the diet with phytase supplementation was significantly lower compared with the control group after feeding to satiation (P<0.05), but soluble phosphorus excretion was still independent of dietary treatments. The ammonia excretion in satiated fish significantly decreased with supplementations of non-starch polysaccharide enzymes.     

Limiting amino acids in dried microbial cells given to young turkeys

The effects of amino acid additions to diets containing methanol-grown dried microbial cells (MC) have been examined in two experiments with young turkeys. The sample of MC used was an early pelleted preparation of Methylophilus methylotrophus produced by Imperial Chemical Industries in the initial stages of the development of Pruteen. The pellets were crushed to a coarse powder prior to dietary inclusion. In the first study, turkeys fed on either 100 or 200 g MC/kg diet with supplements of methionine had similar growth rates and efficiency of food conversion as those fed on a control soya bean meal (SBM) diet containing equivalent dietary nitrogen concentrations (54 g N/kg DM). Combined additions of methionine and arginine to the MC diets had no further effect on growth performance. In the second experiment, an unsupplemented basal diet containing 150 g MC/kg diet and 55 g N/kg DM supported marginally better weight gain, efficiency of food utilisation and efficiency of carcass deposition of gross energy (GE) and N than a basal SBM diet with 53 N/kg DM. Methionine supplementation of the latter diet improved growth performance to levels approaching those in the group fed on the basal MC diet. Feeding the basal SBM and MC diets containing sub-optimal levels of dietary N (46 and 48 g N/kg DM, respectively) confirmed the slightly superior nutritional value of the MC diet. Methionine supplementation enhanced growth performance and efficiency of carcass deposition of N and GE in turkeys fed on the SBM diet. On the other hand, methionine supplementation of the corresponding basal diet containing MC induced only slight improvements in growth and efficiency of deposition of N and GE in the carcass. Combined additions of methionine and lysine to the N-restricted diets containing SBM or MC were less effective than the addition of methionine alone.     

饲料中土豆蛋白替代鱼粉对虹鳟摄食率、消化率和生长的影响

通过生长试验探讨了饲料中土豆蛋白浓缩物替代鱼粉后对虹鳟摄食率,消化率,生长和饲料利用的影响,对照饲料全部鱼粉为蛋白源,其它饲料分别含土豆蛋白２．２％,５．６％,８．９％和１１．１％,另一饲料含５．６％,土豆蛋白和１．７％蛋氨酸,在１２℃下饲养４周,试验结果表明,随着饲料中土豆蛋白使用比例的增加,虹鳟的摄食率下降,饲料的干物质,蛋白和灰分的表现消化率上升,脂肪的表现消化率无显著影响,当饲料中含５．６
