DL-Methionyl-DL-Methionine/DL-Methionine Supplementation Alleviated the Adverse Effects of Dietary Low Fishmeal Levels on Growth and Intestinal Health of Micropterus salmoides.

ABSTRACT: DL-methionyl-DL-methionine (AQUAVI® Met-Met) (Met-Met) (0.10%, 0.20%, 0.30%, and 0.40%) or DL-methionine (DL-Met) (0.10%, 0.20%, 0.30%, and 0.40%) were added to a low-fishmeal diet in an attempt to reduce fishmeal in the diet of Micropterus salmoides (M. salmoides). The fish were randomly allocated into ten experimental groups (n = 100), each with 4 replicates of 25 fish (16.39 ± 0.01 g) each. Compared to 25% FM, 0.40% of DL-Met and 0.10% of Met-Met promoted growth, and 0.10% of Met-Met decreased FCR. Compared to 25% FM, the supplementation of Met-Met or DL-Met improved the intestinal antioxidant capacity by upregulating the NF-E2-related factor 2-mediated antioxidant factors and enzyme activities and nuclear factor kappa-B-mediated anti-inflammatory factors while downregulating the pro-inflammatory factors, thereby exerting anti-inflammatory effects. Moreover, 0.10% of the Met-Met diet affected the Firmicutes-to-Bacteroidota ratio, increased the levels of Proteobacteria, changed the composition of intestinal flora (Roseburia, Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group, and unclassified_Oscillospiraceae), and enhanced intestinal dominant bacteria (Caldicoprobacter, Pseudogracilibacillus, and Parasutterella), leading to improved gut health. In summary, the supplementation of DL-Met or Met-Met alleviated the adverse effect of fishmeal reduction (from 40 to 25%) on the growth performance and intestinal health of M. salmoides.

Project description:An M. salmoides fish meal diet was supplemented with 0 (CHL0, Control), 38 (CHL38), 76 (CHL76), 114 (CHL114), and 152 (CHL152) mg/kg C. vulgaris for 60 days, and their serum and intestinal samples were analyzed. The results showed that the albumin (ALB) and total protein (TP) contents were observably enhanced in the CHL76 group compared with the Control group. The intestinal glutathione (GSH) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) contents were enhanced significantly in the CHL76 group, while the total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) was enhanced in the CHL38 group, compared with the Control group. However, supplementation of >76 g/kg C. vulgaris significantly inhibited the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the intestines of M. salmoides. Moreover, the malondialdehyde (MDA) content was observably dropped in the CHL-supplemented groups compared with the Control group. Transcriptome analysis of the CHL76 and Control groups displayed a total of 1384 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). KEGG analysis revealed that these DEGs were enriched in apoptosis, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, tight junction (TJ), and phagosome signaling pathways, which were associated with improved intestinal immunity in the CHL76 group. Additionally, the DEGs enriched in the above pathways were also correlated with the antioxidant parameters, such as catalase (CAT), GSH, GSH-Px, SOD, T-AOC, and MDA. Therefore, our study found that dietary supplementation of C. vulgaris effectively enhanced the intestinal antioxidant capacity of M. salmoides by increasing antioxidant enzyme activity and decreasing MDA content. Additionally, dietary supplementation of C. vulgaris improved the intestinal immune status of M. salmoides by reducing proapoptotic and proinflammatory factors, increasing intestinal TJs- and phagosome-related genes expressions, and increasing the serum ALB and TP contents. Lastly, quadratic regression analysis of the serum biochemical indices (ALB and TP) and intestinal antioxidant parameters (GSH-Px and GSH) revealed that the optimal supplemental level of C. vulgaris in the M. salmoides diet was 58.25-77.7 g/kg.

Project description:Microalgae have beneficial effects on the performance of fish as additives and they are becoming a promising alternative to fishmeal as macronutrient ingredients. However, the impact on the fish intestinal microbiome and the function, caused by microalgae as protein sources in diets, remains unclear. This study aimed to determine the composition and potential function of the intestinal microbial community of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) fed diets at five replacement levels (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%) of fishmeal by Chlorella meal in a basal diet (400 g kg-1) after 8 weeks. The results showed significant decreases in unique amplicon sequence variants in the intestine at the higher levels of fishmeal replacement. At 50% of fishmeal replacement, dietary inclusions of Chlorella meal had no impact on species richness and Shannon diversity and the community structure of the intestinal microbiota. However, high levels of fishmeal replacement (75 and 100%) significantly induced intestinal community disturbance and diversity loss in largemouth bass. Responding to the high fishmeal replacement level, the dominant genus Cetobacterium and Pleslomonas sharply increased and several taxa from Lactobacillus decreased significantly. Functional data predicted by PICRUSt revealed that nutrition-related metabolism was dominant in the intestinal microbiota of fish fed all the five diets, although some potential functions, particularly amino acid and lipid metabolisms, and energy metabolism, were upregulated firstly, and then downregulated in fish fed diets with the increase of dietary Chlorella meal. Meanwhile, certain pathways were not enriched in intestinal microbiome until up to 75% of fishmeal replacement, such as carbohydrate metabolism, and cofactors and vitamins metabolism. To conclude, this study reveals that fishmeal replacement (50%) by Chlorella meal at the level of 237 g kg-1 in diets is feasible for largemouth bass without impairing the microbiome structure and the metabolism function, providing an alternative strategy for evaluating the possibility of fishmeal replacement by microalgae in aquafeeds.
