In a previous study we found a positive correlation between early weaning in calves and morphological parameters which were indicative of ruminal development, i.e. the length and width of the papillae. The objective of the present study was to determine to what extent this observation could be reflected by modulations of absorptive and secretory functions of the rumen mucosa. For this purpose the short-circuit currents (Isc) as a measure of electrogenic net ion fluxes and the transepithelial conductances (G(T)) as a measure of the overall tissue permeability were measured in vitro applying the Ussing-chamber technique. Simultaneously, the unidirectional flux rates of sodium and chloride across rumen wall epithelia were determined in the absence of electrochemical gradients. Under these conditions, significant positive net flux rates (Jnet) clearly indicate active mechanisms for electrolyte absorption. For the experiments 12 male Holstein calves 7 d of age were assigned to three groups of 4 animals each: milk group (I, slaughtered after 6 weeks of age), late weaning group (II, slaughtered after 9 weeks of age) and early weaning group (II, weaned after 6 weeks of age and slaughtered after 9 weeks of age). Whereas G(T) values remained unaffected by different age and feeding, Isc values were significantly affected by early weaning but were not influenced by age. Irrespective of weaning time active absorption of Na+ tended to be higher by about 60% in 9 weeks old animals. Active absorption of chloride was significantly increased in milk fed 9 weeke old calves and this effect was further stimulated by early weaning. In conclusion, the data show an increasing active Na+ absorption with age in calf rumen that could not be influenced by early weaning. Similarly, active Cl- absorption was initially increased during postnatal development and this effect could be stimulated further by early weaning.  相似文献

The aim of the present study was to investigate whether besides age and solid feed intake, monocarboxylic acid transporter type 1 (MCT1) expression in the rumen epithelium of calves is affected by liquid feed type [whole milk (WM) or milk replacer (MR)]. Thirty bull calves at the mean age of 5 days were randomly allocated to five experimental groups (six calves/group). Six calves were slaughtered immediately after allocation to the trial (5 days of life), eighteen calves were fed MR and slaughtered at week intervals (on 12, 19, 26 days of life respectively), and six calves were fed WM and slaughtered at the 26 days of life. MCT1 protein abundance and the MCT1 mRNA level were investigated in the dorsal and ventral sack of the rumen. Solid feed intake and short‐chain fatty acids (SCFA) concentration in the rumen fluid increased linearly with calves' age. The amount of the MCT1 protein and mRNA in the dorsal sac of rumen as well as the amount of MCT1 protein in the cranial ventral sac of rumen also increased linearly with calves' age. Calves fed WM had greater solid feed intake in the last week of the study as compared to calves fed MR, but SCFA concentration in the rumen fluid was not different. MCT1 mRNA expression in the cranial dorsal sac of rumen and protein MCT1 expression in both dorsal and ventral cranial sack of the rumen were higher in calves fed WM as compared to calves fed MR. This study confirmed age‐dependent changes of MCT1 expression in the rumen epithelium of newborn calves and showed that its expression might be affected by liquid feed type.  相似文献

This study aimed to characterize the relationship between the growth of rumen papillae in calves and the mRNA expression of insulin‐like growth factor‐binding proteins (IGFBPs) in the rumen papillae. The length of rumen papillae, the mRNA expression of IGFBPs in rumen papillae by quantitative real‐time PCR, and the presence of insulin‐like growth factors I and II (IGF‐I and II) by immunohistochemistry (IHC) were analyzed in nine Holstein calves divided into three groups: suckling (2 weeks, n = 3), milk‐continued (8 weeks, n = 3), and weaned (8 weeks, n = 3). The length of rumen papillae was greater (p < 0.01) in weaned calves than in suckling and milk‐continued calves, whereas the expressions of IGFBP2, IGFBP3, and IGFBP6 genes were lower (p < 0.05) in the rumen papillae of weaned calves than in milk‐continued calves. Thus, rumen papillae length and IGFBP2, 3, and 6 expressions were negatively correlated. The IHC analysis showed that IGF‐I and IGF‐II were present in the rumen epithelium of calves. These results suggested that the growth of rumen papillae after weaning is associated with the induction of IGFs by the low levels of IGFBP2, IGFBP3, and IGFBP6.  相似文献

The contents of volatile fatty acids in the rumen fluid were studied in calves at an early (seven weeks of age) and traditional weaning term (nine weeks of age). Weaning at the age of seven weeks enabled to save 16.2 kg of milk replacer per calf; there was also a lower content of concentrates in the starter feed with a supplement of Amylastim. The health condition of the calves was good in both groups. The average daily weight gains for the period from the second to the ninth week of age were 0.550 kg in the early weaned calves and 0.690 kg in the calves weaned at a normal time. Early weaning had a positive influence on the development of rumen metabolism. Calves weaned at the age of seven weeks, compared with those weaned at the age of nine weeks, had much higher concentrations of VFA (p less than 0.05) in rumen fluid (at the age of seven weeks: 130.49 mmol per litre vs. 111.53 mmol per litre; at the age of eight weeks: 119.74 mmol per litre vs. 96.98 mmol per litre). Early weaned calves had the statistically significantly (p less than 0.05) higher proportions of propionic acid, butyric acid, i-butyric acid, and valeric acid. Later-weaned calves had the significantly higher (p less than 0.05) contents of acetic acid and i-valeric acid.  相似文献

Sheep rumen metabolic development in response to age and dietary treatments   总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8  
This study examined the time course of rumen metabolic development in the absence of solid feed consumption and the effect of delayed solid feed consumption on sheep rumen development. Twenty-seven lambs consumed milk replacer until slaughter at nine ages from 1 to 84 d (milk group). Three additional lambs consumed milk replacer from 1 to 48 d. From 49 d until slaughter at 84 d, these lambs were weaned onto solid feed (fed group). At slaughter, rumen contents were removed for VFA analysis and rumen epithelium was preserved for morphological examination. Rumen epithelial cells were isolated and incubated in media containing 2.5 mM U-[14C]-glucose or 10 mM 1-[14C]-butyrate. Rumen VFA concentrations did not change with age in lambs given milk replacer. At 84 d of age, intraruminal VFA concentrations were elevated in lambs consuming solid feed compared to 84-d-old lambs given milk replacer (P < .05). The number of ruminal papillae per square centimeter decreased (P < .05) while papillae length and width did not change significantly with age in rumen epithelium from lambs given milk replacer. At 84 d of age, rumen epithelium from lambs in the fed group had fewer and larger papillae/per square centimeter than rumen epithelium from lambs given milk replacer (P < .05). Rates of glucose and butyrate oxidation and acetoacetate and lactate production by rumen cells isolated from lambs given milk replacer did not change with age. Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA) production was undetectable before 42 d of age in lambs given milk replacer and increased to levels found in conventionally raised adults by 84 d. At 84 d there were no differences in rates of glucose and butyrate oxidation or acetoacetate and lactate production by rumen cells between the two treatment groups. Thus, the change in substrate oxidation from glucose to butyrate, indicative of rumen metabolic maturation, does not occur in the absence of solid feed consumption. However, the development of rumen ketogenesis, as evidenced by increased BHBA production, does occur in the absence of solid feed consumption. Delaying the initiation of solid feed consumption results in rumen morphological development but does not stimulate rumen metabolic development. Increased intraruminal VFA concentrations, earlier exposure to VFA, or a longer period of exposure to VFA may be required to induce the genes responsible for rumen metabolic development.  相似文献

Twenty neonatal calves were fed milk plus 1 of 4 rations ad libitum: pelleted concentrates plus alfalfa hay, pelleted concentrates plus ground alfalfa hay, pelleted concentrates alone, or pelleted concentrates containing whey. Eight calves were killed at 4 weeks of age, and 12 calves at 6 weeks. The ruminal mucosa was examined grossly, by light microscopy, and by scanning electron microscopy. Well-developed differences among groups were evident in calves at 6 weeks of age; changes at 4 weeks were similar, but less developed. In 6-week-old calves fed concentrates plus alfalfa hay ad libitum, papillae were flattened and tongue shaped on the ventral floor of the atrium ruminis (cranial sac). Calves fed concentrates plus ground alfalfa had tongue shaped, rounded, and finger-like papillae. Calves fed concentrates alone or concentrates plus whey developed small, nodular, branched papillae which were cauliflower shaped and severly parakeratotic and were arranged on transverse folds on the floor of the atrium ruminis and on zigzag folds elsewhere in the rumen, except on the dorsal wall in contact with the gas bubble. The transition from tongue-shaped to nodular-shaped papillae under the influence of ration occurred last on the floor of the atrium ruminis. At least in 6-week-old calves, that site generally is not typical of changes in most ruminal papillae.  相似文献

Histomorphometric and scanning electron microscopic analyses were carried out on 74 embryos and fetuses and 20 sheep (early postnatal to adult age). Histodifferentiation of the rumen took place at 33 days of fetal life. Ruminal pillars were observed at 42 days, and at 61 days, ruminal papillae appeared as evaginations of the epithelial stratum basale. Neutral mucopolysaccharides first appeared in epithelial cells at 46 days of fetal life; thereafter, numbers decreased gradually and subsequently stabilized in postnatal life. Acid mucopolysaccharides, mucins, and mucoid compounds were not detected. Age and diet were recognized as factors that determine the structure of the ruminal mucosa. Growth curves and formulas were set out for each tissue layer.  相似文献

In an experiment conducted on 20 calves from 1 day to 12 weeks old, supplements of beta-carotene were fed in the form of Rovimix beta-carotene 10%, artificially dehydrated carrot or vitamins AD3E. Postmortem examination carried out at 12 weeks showed that supplementation of beta-carotene or vitamins AD3E resulted in a better structural development of the ruminal papillae as compared to the control group. In addition, beta-carotene reduced the keratinization of the stratified squamous epithelial cell layer of the rumen and increased the glycosaminoglycan level of that organ wall.  相似文献

Thirty Holstein fetuses from 100 to 251 d after conception were utilized to study prenatal anatomical development of the epithelium of the rumen and reticulum. Four calves at birth were included in the study for comparison. Tissue sections were frozen and stained to locate specific enzymes. At 100 d, the epithelial layer of the rumen was differentiated into a thin basal zone and a thickened superficial zone of undifferentiated cells. The basement membrane was straight, and in both zones cells were perpendicular to it. At 120 to 141 d, low, primary undulations were detected in the basal zone, basement membrane and underlying lamina propria. At 150 to 166 d, secondary undulations and incipient papillae began to resemble the papillae of mature mucosa. In rumen papillae of 192-d to 215-d fetuses, shallow furrows began to separate papillae apexes from the mass of epithelium. In fetuses 244 to 251 d, the papillae began to be a separate entity. At birth, the basal position of the papillae still remained fused. An incipient separation between the papillae was seen. Several dehydrogenase enzymes, including those associated with the Krebs cycle and reductase associated with energy transformation, were observed in both ruminal and reticular tissue. Alkaline phosphatase activity was localized in the stratum corneum and in blood vessels. Development of the honeycomb configuration of reticular epithelium was evident in the 100-d fetus and progressed rapidly with age.  相似文献

Effects of the presence or absence of ciliate protozoa on methanogenesis in the rumen and hindgut were investigated in young calves during a 7-week period. Ten Holstein calves, aged 7 days, were divided in two groups (n = 5) and fed an increasing amount of a commercial milk replacer and small amounts of a calves starter. One group was inoculated with ciliate fauna on two occasions, week 5 and 6, while the second remained ciliate-free. The absence of protozoa in the rumen decreased rumen empty weight (-23%, P < 0.01), and rumen pool size of N (-36%, P < 0.01) and crude fat (-37%, P < 0.05). Rumen bacteria of non-faunated calves contained a higher proportion of total amino acid-N per 16 g N (+3%, P < 0.01) and D-alanine-N per 16 g N (+13%, P < 0.05) compared to faunated calves. Further results contain a reference for a higher bacterial mass in the ciliate-free rumen with an increased number of bacteria adherent to rumen mucosa. The CH4 production in the rumen increased exponentially with the increase in protozoa population size (R2 = 0.68). In presence of 46 x 10(4) protozoa per ml rumen fluid, the in vitro CH4 production of rumen fluid per mol total VFA was about 34% higher in faunated than in non-faunated calves (P < 0.001). Hydrogen (2H) recovery of rumen fermentation was positively correlated (R2 = 0.55) to the CH4 production rate. Methanogens were attached on rumen mucosa. Methanogenesis, induced by rumen mucosa attached bacteria, was stimulated by ruminal protozoa. In the absence of protozoa in the rumen, the acetate-propionate ratio and butyrate proportion of VFA were reduced. In vivo, in the absence of protozoa not only the whole animal CH4 production (-30%, P < 0.05) but also the digestibility of carbohydrates (-4%, P < 0.05) was reduced. Thereby no difference was observed in the intake of ME per kg DM between the groups. In conclusion, the methanogenesis in the rumen, but not in hindgut, is associated with the development of the ruminal protozoa population. The level of methanogenesis (mol/mol VFA) in the hindgut amounts to 20% of the ruminal methanogenesis.  相似文献

Ketogenesis is the conversion of acetyl-CoA to the ketone bodies acetoacetate and beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA). In hepatic ketogenesis, which occurs during fasting in both nonruminant and ruminant animals, the source of acetyl-CoA is the mitochondrial oxidation of predominantly long-chain fatty acids. In the mature, fed ruminant animal, the ruminal epithelium is also capable of producing ketone bodies. In this case, the source of acetyl-CoA is the mitochondrial oxidation of butyrate produced by the microbial fermentation of feed. The purposes of this study were to determine ontogenic and dietary effects on ketogenic enzyme gene expression in developing lamb ruminal epithelium. Twenty-seven conventionally reared lambs and twenty-seven milk-fed lambs were slaughtered between 1 and 84 d of age. Six additional milk-fed lambs were weaned (the fed group) or maintained on milk replacer with a volatile fatty acid gavage (the VFA group) until 84 d of age. At slaughter, total RNA was extracted from samples of ruminal epithelium. The expression of the genes encoding acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase, the first enzyme in the ketogenic pathway, and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase, the rate-limiting enzyme in the ketogenic pathway in nonruminant liver, were examined. Acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase mRNA concentrations increased with age independent of diet. 3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase mRNA levels in ruminal epithelium obtained from milk-fed lambs were low before 42 d of age, but a marked increase occurred by 42 d of age. At 84 d of age, there were no differences in acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase expression due to diet. The pattern of the expression of these genes, in particular, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase, parallels the rate of production of BHBA by rumen epithelial cells isolated from the same lambs, which increased to conventionally reared adult levels at 42 d of age and did not differ with diet. In conclusion, development of the ketogenic capacity of the ruminal epithelium occurs as the animal ages, regardless of dietary treatment. Thus, the expression of the genes encoding the ketogenic enzymes are not affected by the presence of VFA in the ruminal lumen.  相似文献

In this experiment, effect of wheat processing on rumen conditions and development were investigated. Fifty‐six neonatal Holstein‐Friesian calves (22 male and 34 female) were fed calf starters and post‐weaning diets containing 35 (pre‐weaning) and 21.90% (post‐weaning) popped wheat (PW), steam‐flaked wheat (SFW), dry‐rolled wheat (DRW) or ground wheat (GW) till 12 weeks of age. Calves were weaned at the end of 9th week, and a post‐weaning‐specific starter diets were fed for 1 month. Rumen liquor was analysed in days 30, 60 and 90 of the experiment to determine volatile fatty acids (VFA), pH and ammonia nitrogen concentrations. Twelve male calves (three calves/treatment) were slaughtered, and digestive tract was emptied. Forestomach empty weight and rumen parameters were assessed. Results indicated that calves received PW had the highest total VFA, acetate, propionate, butyrate, ammonia nitrogen, rumen wall thickness, papilla width and density. Calves fed DRW experienced the lowest rumen pH throughout the experiment probably because high proportion of fine particles in GW. Calves consuming PW apparently had more functional rumen in comparison with other groups.  相似文献

Ruminal microbial development in conventionally or early-weaned calves   总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8  
Eight bull calves (four Holsteins and four Ayrshire calves with mean birth weight of 38.8 kg) were ruminally cannulated at 3 d of age and allocated to one of two weaning programs. All calves were fed colostrum for 3 d after birth and milk until weaning. Calves in the conventional-weaning program were fed a starter diet from 3 d of age and weaned at 6 wk of age. In the early-weaning program, calves were fed a highly palatable pre-starter diet from 3 d of age until they consumed 227 g/d, and then fed a mixture of pre-starter (227 g) and starter diet ad libitum. Calves in this group were weaned at 4 wk of age. Ruminal samples were collected at 3 and 7 d, then weekly thereafter through 8 wk and at 10 and 12 wk of age to assess microbial activity. Calves in the early-weaned group had a higher concentration of total ruminal volatile fatty acids at an earlier age than the calves in the conventional-weaning program. This was accompanied by a trend toward higher lactate concentrations and lower ruminal pH in the early-weaned group during their first 4 wk of age. Lactate and ammonia concentrations decreased with calf age. The total anaerobic bacterial counts increased slightly with calf age, whereas Streptococcus bovis and facultative bacterial populations decreased with calf age. Amylolytic, proteolytic, lactobacilli, lactate-utilizers, cellulolytic and methanogenic bacterial populations increased progressively in both groups. Cellulolytic and methanogenic bacteria were present in both groups at 3 d of age. No protozoa were detected in calves of either group. In general, the most significant changes in bacterial populations and metabolic activity in both groups occurred between 4 and 6 wk of age. Although calves in both groups had similar patterns of bacterial development, calves in the early-weaning program tended to have high ruminal microbial activity at an earlier age than the conventionally weaned calves.  相似文献

This work was undertaken to assess the long-term impacts of a ruminal transponder, used for electronic identification, on ruminal motility and on health and performance of cattle, as well as to study the electromagnetic effects on ruminal bacteria in vitro. A passive transponder (51.4 g, 67 x 17 mm) was delivered into the forestomachs of 8 calves, 32 bulls, 10 heifers, and 40 dairy cows. Final readability was 87.5% in calves, 96.9% in bulls, 90% in heifers, and 100% in cows at 481, 360, 650, and 601 d, respectively, after transponder administration. The transponder did not affect production or reproduction of cows over a 2-yr period, or performance of bulls, or mortality compared with control animals. Chewing movements per bolus were lower (P <0.01) in treated animals than in controls (49.6 vs. 52.2, 51.2 vs. 63.6, and 57.0 vs. 59.7 for bulls, heifers, and cows, respectively). Regurgitation frequency (number of boluses/10 min) tended to be greater in treated cattle: 12.4 vs. 11.3 (P = 0.07), 11.3 vs. 10.6, and 11.3 vs. 10.7 (P = 0.08) for bulls, heifers, and cows, respectively. Rumination patterns of calves fitted with transponders within the first weeks of life were similar to controls. During the experiment, 43 treated animals (8 calves, 29 bulls, and 6 cows) were slaughtered. Thirty transponders were localized in the reticulum (3 calves, 24 bulls, and 3 cows), 11 in the rumen (4 calves, 4 bulls, and 3 cows), and 2 were not recovered (1 calf and 1 bull). Within the calves, 57% of the boluses were found in the rumen. In 8 reticula (2 calves and 6 bulls) and 1 rumen (1 cow), an impression left by physical contact of the transponder was observed, although histological examination did not reveal specific lesions in the mucosa of the dystrophic areas. In strained, whole ruminal contents incubated in vitro, pH values were lower after 24 and 48 h (P <0.001) of continuous exposure to an electromagnetic field induced by the transponder-reading system. After 48 h of incubation, total bacterial numbers and NH3-N concentration were greater (P <0.001) in exposed flasks than in controls. These data indicate that the transponder may alter, via mechanical action, the reticuloruminal mucosa and rumination patterns. Furthermore, the transponder may increase, via its electromagnetic action, the growth rate and metabolic activity of ruminal bacteria.  相似文献

试验通过比较不同断奶日龄的湖羊羔羊瘤胃组织结构的差异,特别是瘤胃乳头超微结构变化,旨在为羔羊适宜断奶日龄的确定提供瘤胃生长发育的依据。选择新生湖羊羔羊24只(初生重:2.80 kg±0.08 kg),随机分为3组,每组8只,分别为30日龄早期断奶组(EEW-30)、45日龄早期断奶组(EW-45)和60日龄常规断奶组(NW-60)。在各断奶日龄及75日龄时每组分别屠宰4只羔羊,测定体重及瘤胃空重,计算瘤胃相对重量;采集瘤胃组织进行显微及超微形态学测定。结果显示:①EEW-30组羔羊断奶体重极显著低于NW-60组(P<0.01),而EW-45组与NW-60组断奶体重无显著差异(P>0.05);75日龄时3组羔羊的体重无显著差异(P>0.05)。各组羔羊瘤胃相对重量与其体重变化规律相同。②光镜下可见:断奶时,EEW-30组瘤胃壁厚度极显著低于NW-60组(P<0.01),EW-45组与NW-60组无显著差异(P>0.05);75日龄时,EW-45组羔羊瘤胃壁厚度显著高于NW-60组(P<0.05)。断奶时EEW-30组瘤胃乳头较短小,极显著短于NW-60组(P<0.01),EW-45组也显著短于NW-60组(P<0.05)。断奶时瘤胃乳头宽度和面积在3组间差异均不显著,在75日龄时也无显著组间差异(P>0.05)。③扫描电镜观测结果显示:EEW-30组断奶时单位面积瘤胃微乳头(ruminal micro-papillae)数量极显著低于NW-60组(P<0.01),而EW-45与NW-60组间无显著差异(P>0.05);75日龄时,3组羔羊单位面积瘤胃微乳头数量无显著差异(P>0.05)。上述试验结果显示,断奶时羔羊瘤胃形态结构在EEW-30与NW-60组间差异明显,而EW-45与NW-60组较为接近,瘤胃微乳头状结构也呈相同变化趋势。提示45日龄时断奶较为适宜。  相似文献

The ruminal mucosa of 15 pygmy goats of different age (Z1 approximately 4-5 months, Z2 approximately 1 year, Z3 approximately 1.5-5 years) were studied gross-anatomically concerning their colour, clumping of papillae, fodder precipitations on the papillae, areas poor in papillae or devoid of them and the development of papillae. The density of papillae/cm2 in the 3 groups investigated was 79.4; 67.3; 58.0; the mean length of the papillae (mm) 1.75; 1.86; 2.96; the mean breadth of the papillae (mm) 1.3; 1.2; 2.0; the area of the ruminal mucosa (cm2) 799; 943; 1 195; the area of the ruminal pillars (cm2) 38; 41; 69; the number of the papillae/rumen 59,940; 58,022; 64,782; the total absorptive area (cm2) 3,802; 3,854; 11,268; the surface magnifying factor 4.0; 3.4; 8.4.  相似文献

The effects of sugar and forage inclusion in calves' starter and their interaction on animal performance and rumen fermentation parameters were investigated. Twenty‐eight neonatal Holstein male calves 3 days of age with average body weights of 42 ± 4 kg were allocated to four different treatments. All calves were fed a similar basal diet consisting of milk and concentrate. The experimental treatments were: (i) basal diet with no supplementation (Control, hereafter designated by C), (ii) basal diet plus 5% granular sugar cane (Sugar, designated by S), (iii) basal diet plus 5% forage (Forage, designated by F) and (iv) basal diet plus 5% forage with 5% granular sugar cane (F × S). Supplement ingredients were used on a dry matter (DM) basis. Rumen fluid parameters were measured twice on days 35 and 70 of the study period. The calves were weaned when they could consume 1 kg of starter for three consecutive days. The results show that starter intake was not affected by treatment; however, the lowest ADG was observed with calves in the sugar treatment. Weaning age was affected by treatments, and forage showed to reduce milk consumption period down to its shortest. Forage–sugar interaction was found to have no effects on animal performance. The structural body indices as well as the health status of the calves were similar in different treatments. Rumen pH did not differ among the treatment groups. Among the rumen parameters, total VFA concentration and molar proportions of butyrate and propionate did not exhibit any significant differences among the treatments. However, ruminal acetate concentration decreased in calves that fed sugar cane during the early weeks of the study period. Comparison of forage and sugar included in the starter diets revealed that forage reduced weaning age, while sugar cane had a negative effect on calves' performance.  相似文献

Fiftysix calves, in 2 similar experiments, were given 1 of 4 diets including a high lactose milk replacer: ground barley (GB), ground barley plus coarse hay (GB + GH), coarse hay (CH) and the liquid diet only (NS) ; the 2 last diets were held as controls. The calves were on the experimental diet from 1–2 weeks of age until slaughtered at 7-8 weeks of age. As observed by stereo-microscopy, the ruminai papillae in calves fed on GB were thickened, mostly finger- or club-shaped and sometimes nodular; nodular papillae were always arranged on prominent mucosal folds. Scattered nodular papillae had white coats. For calves fed on GB + CH the papillae were mostly finger- or tongue-shaped. Histologically papillae in calves fed on GB had hyperplasia of secondary papillae and epithelial layers. Microabscesses associated with penetrating hairs were frequent, and some calves had dyskeratosis with infiltration of polymorphonuclear leucocytes at the apex of papillae, identified as the white coats. For calves given GB+CH, abscesses and apical dyskeratosis were absent and the hyperplasia of epithelial layers milder than in the case of the GB diet.

本试验旨在研究日粮精粗比对育肥藏羊瘤胃组织形态及微生物菌群的影响。选择210只早期断奶藏羔羊,随机分成7组,每组30只,分别对其饲喂精粗比为20∶80(A)、30∶70(B)、40∶60(C)、50∶50(D)、60∶40(E)、70∶30(F)和80∶20(G)的基础日粮,预饲期10 d,试验期90 d。试验结束后,每组随机选择3只试验羊屠宰,采集瘤胃组织及瘤胃液样品。试验采用冷冻切片观察瘤胃组织发育情况,测定瘤胃肌肉层、角化层厚度,乳头长度、宽度和密度;采用16S rDNA基因测序测定瘤胃微生物,分析瘤胃细菌丰度和多样性指数。结果表明:1)日粮精粗比可对瘤胃组织形态造成显著影响(P<0.05)。当精粗比例为50∶50时,藏羊瘤胃角化层厚度、瘤胃乳头密度和高度显著高于其余各组(P<0.05);精粗比例为30∶70时,瘤胃肌层厚度显著高于其余各组(P<0.05)。2)本试验7组共产生299个OTUs(operational taxonomic units),其中共有OTUs 259个,占比86.7%,独有OTUs 40个,其中F和G组分别含独有OTUs 14和8个;试验F组香浓指数、Ace指数和Chao1指数均显著高于其余各组,而辛普森指数显著低于其余各组(P<0.05);各组间细菌多样性差异显著(P<0.05)。3)门水平下,随着精粗比例上升厚壁菌门相对丰度有降低趋势,且A组显著高于其余各组(P<0.05);科水平下,毛螺菌科相对丰度与精粗比例呈负相关,E组普雷沃氏菌科相对丰度较高(P<0.05)。综合瘤胃组织表型和细菌菌群多样性可知:随着日粮中精料水平的提高,瘤胃组织形态发生改变,且在一定程度上抑制瘤胃乳头及角化层的发育;但日粮中精料比例的增加(70∶30)可丰富瘤胃中细菌多样性。  相似文献
