Optimization of Dietary Fermentation Conditions of Apostichopus japonicus and Its Effects on Growth Performance,Gutmicrobiota and Water Environment
[Objective]We optimized the fermentation conditions of Apostichopus japonicus diets,explored its effects on growth performance,intestinal microbial diversity and water environment to achieve the purpose of green and efficient culture of A.japonicus.[Method]Saccharomyces cerevisiae,Bacillus subtilis and Lactobacillus plantarum were used as the fermentation strains,the fermentation time and the proportion,and the suitable fermentation conditions of diets of A.japonicus were determined.10%,20%,30% and 40% mass fraction fermented diets were used to replace the ordinary for 40 days.The growth performance,body composition,intestinal enzyme activity,gut microbiota and water environment were sampled and analyzed.[Result]Diets fermented by the three strains together at 35 ℃ for 3 days,contained the highest content of acid soluble protein (ASP),which was significantly higher than most groups (P<0.05).With the increase of the replacement amount of fermented diets,the weight gain rate and specific growth rate of A.japonicus increased first and then decreased,with the 20% fermented diets replacement group performing best (P<0.05),and there was no significant difference between other experimental groups and control group (P>0.05).The contents of amylase increased after the fermented diets replacement,and were the highestin the 20% replacement group (P<0.05),there was no significant difference between the other groups and the control group (P>0.05).The villus height and intestinal microbial diversity were both increased after fermented diets replacement,and were thehighest in the 20% replacement group (P<0.05),which effectively improved the colonization of beneficial bacteria such as Planoccoccus in Firmicutes.[Conclusion]The contents of total nitrogen and phosphorus in the water could be effectively reduced by fermented diets replacement,and the optimal replacement amount was 20%.The fermentation effect was the best when the ratio of S.cerevisiae to B.subtilis to L.plantarum was 1:1:1 for 3 d.Adding 20% fermented diets can effectively optimize the intestinal structure,improve the digestibility to promote the growth of A.japonicus.
