“…The activities of serum SOD, CAT and POD rose to the highest levels, while MDA content declined to its lowest level following the addition of 5% FMLs to the feed, indicating that 5% FMLs effectively improved the crucian antioxidant capacity, which result was consistent with that pertaining to Hosltein dairy cows (Hao et al, 2020) and laying hens (Lin et al, 2017). However, the activities of SOD, CAT and POD were inhibited when the content of FMLs was too high (>10%), which was consistent with the results of studies on water buffaloes (Li et al, 2020) and tilapia (Miao et al, 2020).…”

Aquaculture, which is one of the primary methods used to generate aquatic products, plays an important role in solving global food shortages and improving physical qualities of humans (Li et al., 2019;Perschbacher, 2015). However, aquaculture production space is constantly decreasing due to advancing global industrialization, resulting in the number of ongoing traditional aquaculture projects being insufficient to meet the rapid growth of human demand for aquatic products (Li et al., 2019). As a result, improving the yield per unit area has come to be considered as an effective means of ensuring an adequate supply of aquatic products (Cressey, 2009). In addition to improving culture modes 2 , developing new growth-promoting and disease-resistant feed is expected to improve aquaculture output.Mulberry (Morus alba) leaves are rich in protein, vitamins and trace elements, which improve the body's immunity, antioxidant capacity, metabolic activities, anti-stress ability and disease resistance (Cai, Mu,

“…[ 22 , 45 , 46 ]. Our previous studies have shown that adding 4.5–18.0% PM silage (substituting the alfalfa and oat grass) to the diet did not affect the total-tract apparent digestibility of dairy cows [ 47 ]. However, in this study, we proved that the different parts of PM had distinct digestibility.…”

Paper mulberry (Broussonetia papyrifera, PM) is high protein but unutilized as a feed source. The study explores the different parts (leaf, stem, and whole plant) of PM chemical composition, silage fermentation, and in vitro and in situ digestibility, aiming to give some guidelines to PM usage as feed. The result showed that the leaf had a higher fresh weight than the stem (p < 0.05). The dry matter contents of the three groups had no differences. The highest crude protein, ether extract, water-soluble carbohydrate, ash, calcium, phosphorus, amino acid contents, and butter capacity were observed in the leaf (p < 0.05). The stem had the highest (p < 0.05) neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, and lignin contents. After ensiling, the stem silage had the lowest pH value, ammonia nitrate (NH3-N), lactate, acetate, and propionate (p < 0.05). The leaf silage had the highest pH value (p < 0.05). The lactate, acetate, and propionate in the leaf and whole plant silage had no difference. The butyrate was not detected in all silage. The in vitro and in situ digestibility experiments showed the leaf had the highest digestibility (p < 0.05), which could produce more volatile fatty acids and have a higher effective digestibility. These results allow a greater understanding of PM to be used as a feedstuff.

“…DNA concentration and purity were determined using the NanoDropND-1000 spectrophotometer (NanoDrop Technologies, Wilmington, DE, USA). The V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene was amplified according to the method described in Hao et al [21]. As Guo et al [22] reported, the former primer sequence of 341F (CCTACGGGNGGCWGCAG) and the reverse sequence of 806R (GGACTACHVGGGTATCTAAT) were used.…”

Lipid metabolism plays an important role in the energy economy of ruminants. However, its interactions of fat, rumen fermentation, gas emission, and microorganisms are not yet clear. This study evaluated the effect of adding raw oilseeds to high-forage diets on in vitro ruminal fermentation, gas composition, and microbial profile. Three isoenergetic and isoproteic experimental diets were designed and used as fermentation substrate: control treatment (CON group) was the basal diet lacking oilseeds, the other two treatments were the basal diet supplemented by 100 g/kg dry matter (DM) raw whole soybean (S group) and 50 g/kg DM raw flaxseed (F group), respectively. Data showed that the acetate, butyrate, and total VFA concentration of culture fluids in the S group were lower (p < 0.05) than in the F group. There was a tendency to a higher level (p = 0.094) of propionate concentration in the F group compared with the other two groups. The gas production in the F group was higher (p < 0.05) than in the control group. There was a lower abundance of Sutterella (p < 0.05) and a greater abundance of Butyrivibrio (p < 0.05) in both of the two oilseed treatments. Methanobrevibacter (p = 0.078) in the F group was the lowest. Our results suggested that CH4 emission could be inhibited with flaxseed supplementation by propionate production metabolism, biohydrogenation of unsaturated fatty acid (FA), and toxicity to Methanobrevibacter, while regarding soybean seed supplementation, the emission of CH4 was more likely to be reduced through biohydrogenation of unsaturated FA modulated by Butyrivibrio.
