Effects of fermented sweet potato residue feed on growth performance,intestinal morphology and non-specific immunity of carp
This study aimed to investigate the effects of fermented sweet potato pomace feed on growth performance,intestinal morphology and non-specific immunity of carp.In this experiment,after fermentation of sweet potato pomace with probiotics,the feeds were prepared according to the additive ratios of 0%,10%,20%and 30%(i.e.,control group,10%-added group,20%-added group and 30%-added group),and fed to the carp with initial body weights of(408.36±26.12)g in groups of 3 replicates of 10 carp each,and the experimental period was 42 d.Growth performance,serum antioxidant indexes and non-specific immunity indexes were measured,and sections were taken to observe immunity and immunity.The growth performance,serum antioxidant indexes and non-specific immunity indexes of the test fish were measured,and the structural morphology of the immune organs and intestines were observed in slices.The results showed that:(1)Compared with the control group,the specific growth rate of carp in the 10%and 20%additive groups increased significantly by 37.45%and 40.17%(P<0.05).(2)The length of intestinal villi and length of intestinal villi/crypt depth(V/C)and the thickness of muscle layer were significantly increased(P<0.01)in carp in the 10%-added,20%-added and 30%-added groups compared with the control group.(3)Compared with the control group,the spleen glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)content of carp in the 20%-added group was significantly increased by 27.99%(P<0.05),the serum malondialdehyde content of carp in the 30%-added group was significantly decreased by 29.55%(P<0.05),and the level of lysozyme(LZM)in the spleen of carp in the 10%-added and 30%-added groups was significantly decreased(P<0.05).(4)Compared with the control group,the levels of spleen IFN-γ in the 20%-added groupwas significantly reduced by 25.84%(P<0.05),and the levels of renal IL-1β in the 30%-added group were significantly increased by 27.84%(P<0.05).The above results inducated that fermented sweet potato pomace could improve the intestinal morphology and structure of carp,promote the digestion and absorption of nutrients and enhance the non-specific immunity,which was conducive to the growth of carp,of which 20%of fermented sweet potato pomace was the most effective.
