A 60 days experiment was conducted to study the effect of dietary gelatinized (G) and non-gelatinized (NG) starch on immunomodulation of Labeo rohita juveniles. Two hundred and thirty four juveniles (av. wt. 2.53+/-0.04) were randomly distributed in six treatment groups with each of three replicates. Six semi-purified diets containing NG and G corn starch, each at six levels of inclusion (0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100) were prepared viz., T(1) (100% NG, 0% G starch), T(2) (80% NG, 20% G starch), T(3) (60% NG, 40% G starch), T(4) (40% NG, 60% G starch), T(5) (20% NG, 80% G starch) and T(6) (0% NG, 100% G starch). After a feeding period of 60 days, the juveniles were challenged with Aeromonas hydrophila to study their immunomodulation due to feeding of G and NG starch. RBC and haemoglobin content were significantly (P<0.05) reduced due to bacterial challenge, but dietary starch (G/NG starch) had no effect on it. G:NG starch ratio in the feed had significant effect on total leukocyte count during pre- and post-challenge periods. The leukocyte count concomitantly increased with the increased level of G starch in the diet. Highest albumin/globulin (A/G) ratio was recorded in T6 group (100% G starch) and lowest in T1 group (100% NG starch) group followed by T2 group both in pre- and post-challenge periods. NBT, lysozyme activity, total protein and globulin content were highest in T2 group (80% NG, 20% G starch) both in pre- and post-challenge periods. After challenge with A. hydrophila, the highest survival was recorded in T2 group, whereas lowest survival was recorded in T6 group. Conclusively high level of G starch was found to be immunosuppressive in Labeo rohita juveniles and NG:G starch ratio of 80:20 seems to be optimum for promoting growth and protecting immunity in L. rohita juveniles.
进行了一项为期60天的实验,以研究日粮中糊化(G)淀粉和未糊化(NG)淀粉对罗氏沼虾幼鱼免疫调节的影响。234尾幼鱼(平均体重2.53±0.04)被随机分配到六个处理组,每组三个重复。制备了六种含有NG和G玉米淀粉的半纯化日粮,每种淀粉的添加水平有六个(0、20、40、60、80、100),即T(1)(100%NG,0%G淀粉)、T(2)(80%NG,20%G淀粉)、T(3)(60%NG,40%G淀粉)、T(4)(40%NG,60%G淀粉)、T(5)(20%NG,80%G淀粉)和T(6)(0%NG,100%G淀粉)。在60天的投喂期后,用嗜水气单胞菌对幼鱼进行攻毒,以研究由于投喂G和NG淀粉对其免疫调节的影响。红细胞和血红蛋白含量因细菌攻毒而显著(P<0.05)降低,但日粮淀粉(G/NG淀粉)对其没有影响。饲料中G:NG淀粉比例在攻毒前后对白细胞总数有显著影响。白细胞计数随着日粮中G淀粉水平的增加而相应增加。在攻毒前后,T6组(100%G淀粉)的白蛋白/球蛋白(A/G)比值最高,T1组(100%NG淀粉)最低,其次是T2组。在攻毒前后,T2组(80%NG,20%G淀粉)的NBT、溶菌酶活性、总蛋白和球蛋白含量最高。用嗜水气单胞菌攻毒后,T2组的存活率最高,而T6组的存活率最低。结论是,高含量的G淀粉对罗氏沼虾幼鱼具有免疫抑制作用,NG:G淀粉比例为80:20似乎最有利于促进罗氏沼虾幼鱼的生长和保护其免疫力。
