Effect of an alcohol extract from a defatted soybean meal supplemented with a casein-based semi-purified diet on the biliary bile status and intestinal conditions in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum)

摘要

A feeding experiment was conducted to examine the effect of a supplemental ethanol extract from a defatted soybean meal on the biliary bile status and intestinal conditions of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. A semi-purified control diet based on casein (Cont) and three diets supplemented with the extract (ES), bovine bile salts (BS) and their combination (ESBS) were fed to trout (10 g) for 6 weeks. The growth, feed efficiency ratio, fat digestibility and gallbladder- and hepato-somatic indices of fish fed diet ES decreased. Compared with this group, these parameters were improved in fish fed diet ESBS. The total biliary bile salt content was the lowest in fish fed diet ES and this group had a high proportion of chenodeoxycholyltaurine. The inclusion of the bile salts to diet ES (diet ESBS) increased the total biliary bile salt content. A similar trend was observed in the bile salt concentration of intestinal digesta. Although morphological changes occurred in epithelial cells of the distal intestine of fish fed diet ES, the histological features of fish fed diet ESBS were similar to those of fish fed diet Cont. These results indicate that alcohol-soluble substances of soybean meal cause physiological changes in the biliary bile and intestine of rainbow trout.
