Dietary sodium butyrate positively modulated intestinal microbial community, but did not promote growth of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides).
Fish Physiology and Biochemistry 2024 January 24
This study investigated the effects of dietary sodium butyrate (NaB) on growth, serum biochemical indices, intestine histology, and gut microbiota of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). A basal diet was formulated and used as the control diet (Con), and five additional diets were prepared by supplementing NaB (50%) in the basal diet at 2.0, 4.0, 8.0, 12.0, and 16.0 g/kg inclusion (NaB-2, NaB-4, NaB-8, NaB-12, and NaB-16 diets). Then, the six diets were fed to triplicate groups of largemouth bass juveniles (2.4 ± 0.1 g) for 8 weeks. NaB supplementation linearly and quadratically affected weight gain (WG) and feed intake (FI) (P < 0.05). The NaB-16 group displayed lower WG (- 6.8%) and FI than the Con group (P < 0.05), while no differences were found in WG and feed conversion ratio between the other NaB groups and Con group (P > 0.05). Serum alkaline phosphatase and lysozyme activities were higher in the NaB groups (P < 0.05), and D-lactate content was lower in the NaB-12 group (P < 0.05) than the control. Intestinal lipase activity in NaB-2, NaB-4 group, and villi width in NaB-8 group were also higher than those in the Con group (P < 0.05). Compared to the Con group, the intestinal abundances of Firmicutes and Mycoplasma were increased and the abundances of Proteobacteria, Achromobacter and Plesiomonas were decreased in NaB-4 and NaB-16 groups (P < 0.05). In conclusion, dietary NaB did not promote the growth of juvenile largemouth bass, but positively modulated the intestinal microbial community.
