Abstract

Objective: : The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of inactive (heat-killed) Clostridium butyricum (ICB) on gas production kinetics, fermentation parameters, and microbiota with varying media pH levels in batch culture.

Methods: : The in vitro experiment was designed as a completely randomized factorial arrangement, with 2 media pH levels (5.8 and 6.5) × 2 CB products (active and inactive) × 4 dosages. Two lactating dairy cows with ruminal fistulas, fed a diet comprising 40% forage and 60% concentrate, served as donors for rumen inoculum. Following 24 h of incubation, the gas production, dry matter disappearance (DMD), volatile fatty acid (VFA), ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) and microbial profile were analyzed to determine the effect of treatment on fermentation.

Results: : The gas volume (GV), DMD, total VFA concentration, NH3-N concentration, acetate proportion and microbial alpha diversity were inhibited when the media pH decreased from 6.5 to 5.8. Increasing the supplemental doses of ICB linearly increased the GV, DMD (trend) and butyrate proportion at media pH 6.5. Moreover, the increasing supplemental dose of active Clostridium butyricum (ACB) linearly increased GV, butyrate proportion and NH3-N concentration (trend) regardless of media pH, and linearly increased DMD, total VFA concentration and A:P ratio at media pH 6.5. Supplementing ICB decreased the relative abundance of Actinobacteria and Butyrivibrio in the fermentation fluid.

Conclusion: s: Increasing media pH would favor rumen fermentation and alter bacterial community. Although both ACB and ICB have the potential to stimulate rumen fermentation in a dose-dependent manner, their effects vary with different media pH levels. Moreover, both ACB and ICB rarely caused changes to the rumen bacterial community.

活性丁酸梭菌和热杀丁酸梭菌对体外产气量、瘤胃发酵和微生物群随pH值变化的影响
目的:本研究的目的是评估失活(热杀)丁酸梭菌(ICB)在不同培养基pH水平间歇培养中对产气动力学、发酵参数和微生物群的影响。方法:体外实验采用完全随机因子设计,2个培养液pH(5.8和6.5)× 2个CB产物(活性和非活性)× 4个剂量。2头患有瘤胃瘘管的泌乳奶牛,饲喂40%饲料和60%精料的饲粮,作为瘤胃接种物的供体。培养24 h后,分析产气量、干物质消失量(DMD)、挥发性脂肪酸(VFA)、氨氮(NH3-N)和微生物谱,以确定处理对发酵的影响。结果:当培养基pH从6.5降低到5.8时,气体体积(GV)、DMD、总VFA浓度、NH3-N浓度、乙酸比例和微生物多样性均受到抑制。在培养基pH为6.5时,增加ICB的添加量,GV、DMD和丁酸盐比例呈线性增加(趋势)。此外,随着活性丁酸梭菌(ACB)添加量的增加,与培养基pH无关,GV、丁酸盐比例和NH3-N浓度均呈线性增加趋势;在培养基pH为6.5时,DMD、总VFA浓度和A:P比呈线性增加趋势。添加ICB降低了发酵液中放线菌和丁酸弧菌的相对丰度。结论:提高培养基pH有利于瘤胃发酵,改变细菌群落。虽然ACB和ICB都有可能以剂量依赖的方式刺激瘤胃发酵,但其效果随培养基pH水平的不同而不同。此外,ACB和ICB都很少引起瘤胃细菌群落的变化。
