“…Studies containing different sustained-release times of microencapsulated SB did not demonstrate significantly improved growth in common carp ( Liu et al, 2014 ). Protected forms of SB improved the biomass gain of Nile tilapia fingerlings during sexual reversion, but there was no significant difference between pure and protected forms of SB ( Jesus et al, 2019a ). This suggests that there is a dose–effect response in SB and growth performance.…”

“…Increasingly, SB is being investigated as a dietary additive in various aquatic animals, to improve their growth, nutrient utilization and intestinal health ( Abdel-Latif et al, 2020 ). Positive effects of dietary SB on growth performance have been confirmed in fish, such as sea bream Sparus aurata ( Robles et al, 2013 ), common carp Cyprinus carpio ( Liu et al, 2014 ), tilapia Oreochromis niloticus ( Ahmed and Sadek, 2015 ), grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idellus ( Liu et al, 2017 ), European sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax ( Abdel-Mohsen et al, 2018 ), golden pompano Trachinotus ovatus ( Zhou et al, 2019 ), Nile tilapia O. niloticus ( Jesus et al, 2019a ), turbot Scophthalmus maximus L.

An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of sodium butyrate (SB) on growth, digestive enzymes, body composition and nutrient retention-related gene expression of juvenile yellow catfish ( Pelteobagrus fulvidraco ). Five isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets (420 g/kg protein and 90 g/kg lipid) were formulated to contain 0 (control), 250, 500, 1,000 or 2,000 mg/kg SB. Triplicate groups of 40 fish (BW = 1.26 ± 0.01 g) per tank (300-L cylindrical fiberglass tanks) for each diet were fed to apparent satiation twice daily. Stomach, hepatopancreas and intestine samples were obtained for digestive enzymes activities analyses. A real-time quantitative PCR analysis was performed to determine the relative expression of target of rapamycin ( TOR ) and lipoprotein lipase ( LPL ) in the hepatopancreas and intestine. Fish fed the diets supplemented with SB at 500 and 1,000 mg/kg showed significantly higher specific growth rate and significantly lower feed conversion ratio compared to the control ( P < 0.05). Dietary SB inclusion did not alter activities of intestinal amylase, creatine kinase and sodium–potassium adenosine triphosphatase (Na + /K + -ATPase), but increased activities of hepatic trypsin, stomachic lipase, intestinal lipase, alkaline phosphatase and γ-glutamyl transpeptidase for fish fed 1,000 mg/kg SB compared to the control ( P < 0.05). Intestine length index, intestine somatic index, fold height and muscular thickness of distal intestine were significantly higher in 1,000 mg/kg SB groups compared to the control ( P < 0.05). Significantly higher levels of whole-body crude protein, ash, calcium, phosphorus, nutrition retention and relative mRNA of intestinal TOR were observed in 1,000 mg/kg SB group ( P < 0.05). Whole-body lipid content and hepatopancreas LPL mRNA expression in 2,000 mg/kg SB group were significantly higher than the control ( P < 0.05). Relative mRNA levels of intestinal LPL and hepatopancreas TOR were significantly higher in the 500 mg/kg SB group compared to those in other groups ( P < 0.05). The increased growth performance, digestive enzymes and nutrient retention in fish fed the diets supplemented with SB at 500 and 1,000 mg/kg suggests that SB can be a desirable growth promoter as an antibiotic alternative in diets.

Effects of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) supplementation in the diet on the growth, small intestinal histomorphology, and digestibility of hybrid ducks

et al. 2021

Background and Aim: Feed plays the most important role in supporting livestock productivity. There is a need for studies on the nutrient levels in feed absorbed by the body of livestock. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) supplementation in feed on growth, small intestinal histomorphology, and digestibility in hybrid ducks. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in vivo using 75 hybrid ducks, with three treatments and five replications. Each replication consisted of five ducks. The treatments were: T0=basal ration without any alfalfa supplementation; T1=basal ration+3% fresh alfalfa supplementation; and T2=basal ration+6% fresh alfalfa supplementation. Fresh alfalfa was quantified on the basis of dry matter content. Drinking water was provided ad libitum. The observed variables were growth performance, measured in terms of feed consumption, body weight gain, and feed conversion ratio; duodenum histomorphology, measured in terms of villus height, villus width, and crypt depth; digestibility, measured in terms of dry matter digestibility; and organic matter, crude protein, and crude fiber concentrations. The data were analyzed using variance analysis with a completely randomized design of one-way pattern with Statistical Product for Service Solution application of version 22. The data with significant differences were further analyzed using Duncan's new multiple range rest. Results: The results of the study showed that 3% alfalfa supplementation increased feed consumption and body weight gain of the hybrid ducks at 35 days of age compared with 0% and 6% supplementation. Furthermore, 3% alfalfa supplementation presented the best result in terms of villus height and duodenal crypt depth. Meanwhile, 6% alfalfa supplementation decreased nutrient digestibility in the ducks. Conclusion: These findings show that supplementation of feed with fresh alfalfa could have a significant effect on hybrid ducks in terms of growth performance, small intestinal histomorphology, and digestibility.

“…The authors hypothesized that the growth results could be attributed to the increased energy supply to the gut epithelium, through sodium butyrate dietary supplementation. In that study, besides the higher growth results, fish fed sodium butyrate‐supplemented diets also presented an increased nutrient absorption surface area in the gut (Jesus, Pereira, Owatari, Syracuse, et al, 2019). Indeed, we also found higher gut‐fold perimeter of Nile tilapia when fed Viligen, which supports this hypothesis.…”

We evaluated the growth, gut histomorphometry, selected immune responses and resistance of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) against Streptococcus agalactiae infection when fed VILIGEN™, an additive blend containing sodium butyrate, dehydrated hydrolysed yeast and zinc proteinate. Increasing doses (0.00, 0.60, 1.20, 2.40 and 4.80 g kg−1) were added to a basal diet and randomly assigned to six groups, each with 28 fish. The fish were fed to satiation twice daily for 60 days, infected via gavage with S. agalactiae at 1.0 × 109 CFU ml−1, and mortality was recorded for 14 days. Dietary inclusion of VILIGEN™ promoted higher weight gain, gut‐fold perimeter and the number of goblet cells. Through polynomial regression, the optimal inclusion level for these variables was estimated at 2.80, 3.30 and 3.50 g kg−1, respectively. However, there was no clear effect of the additive on the immune responses tested before bacterial infection or in the survival after challenge. This is the first study on VILIGEN™ supplementation in fish diets. Higher growth and altered gut morphology were seen with the inclusion of VILIGEN™ in the range of 2.80 to 3.50 g kg−1 but the response to the bacterial challenge was not clearly affected.
