摘要
taxxiformis天冬酰胺和armata天冬酰胺是一种红海藻,由于溴仿的存在,它们能够将牛肠道中的甲烷(CH4)排放量减少80%以上。本项目旨在研究添加溴仿对低品质饲料妊娠奶牛CH4排放的影响及其对子代生长性能的影响。气体测量使用手持设备(Bosean K-600)和GreenFeed装置进行。42头怀孕安格斯奶牛(706±71千克);平均±标准差),根据体重分为对照组和溴仿组。三溴仿组产犊前添加三溴仿(0.69±0.07 mg/kg体重/天)。记录出生时和156日龄时的子代体重。小牛的生长没有受到治疗的影响。处理与补充CH4排放时间之间存在交互作用(P = 0.0015)。添加溴仿后,奶牛甲烷排放量在第一周减少45%,在第二周减少70%,在第三和第四周减少77%。对照组在第1周至第4周之间没有观察到CH4排放量的差异。溴仿组的一氧化碳含量(ppm)明显更高(0.39 vs 33.54 ppm;P = 0.0158)。在CH4排放装置之间观察到中度至高度的相关性。母体添加溴仿可有效减轻CH4,同时不影响肉牛后代的体重。设备之间的相关性显示了未来采用手持设备的潜力。
The effect of bromoform supplementation in Angus cows during late gestation on offspring’s growth performance and maternal greenhouse gas emissions using two devices
Asparagopsis taxiformis and Asparagopsis armata are red seaweed species capable of reducing enteric methane (CH4) emissions in cattle by over 80 % due to the presence of bromoform. This project aimed to investigate the effect of bromoform supplementation on CH4 emissions of pregnant cows fed low-quality feed and its impact on growth performance of offspring. Gas measurements were obtained using both a handheld device (Bosean K-600) and GreenFeed units. Forty-two pregnant Angus cows (706 ± 71 kg; mean ± standard deviation) were allocated to a control or bromoform group based on body weight. The bromoform group was supplemented with bromoform (0.69 0.07 mg/kg body weight/day) pre-calving. Progeny weights at birth and 156 days of age were recorded. Calf growth was not affected by the treatment. There was an interaction between treatment and duration of supplementation for CH4 emissions (P = 0.0015). Bromoform supplementation decreased cow CH4 emissions by 45 % in the first week, 70 % in the second week, and 77 % in the third and fourth weeks. No difference was observed for CH4 emissions between weeks 1 to 4 for the control group. Carbon monoxide levels (ppm) were significantly higher in the bromoform group (0.39 vs 33.54 ppm; P = 0.0158). Moderate to high correlations were observed between devices for CH4 emissions. Maternal bromoform supplementation effectively mitigates CH4 while not impacting the progeny body weights in beef cattle. The correlations between devices demonstrated potential for future adoption of the handheld device.
