Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aquaculture, and in particular to a method for estimating the net energy value required for the growth of largemouth bass. Background Art

[0002] Energy is the foundation of feed formulation. Only when energy is adequate and other nutrients are appropriately combined according to the animal species and physiological characteristics can an effective feed formulation be formulated. Different energy systems have different energy distribution and relationships with other nutrients, so the choice of energy system plays a crucial role in optimizing diet formulation. Net energy best reflects an animal's energy needs and provides a precise definition of the energy required for growth. It serves as a crucial reference for designing precise fish feed formulations and a crucial benchmark for precision cost reduction. Furthermore, the net energy system further refines energy utilization compared to existing metabolizable energy systems, potentially reducing energy waste. However, limited research has further explored net energy requirements in fish, and the relationship between fish growth and net energy remains unclear. Therefore, the rational and correct use of net energy systems remains a challenge and a pressing need for aquaculture producers.

[0003] Largemouth bass, as a farmed animal with high protein and high energy intake, needs to have its actual energy intake and requirements evaluated to accurately predict the growth of farmed animals, thereby optimizing farming management and improving production efficiency to further increase economic benefits. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a method for estimating the net energy required for the growth of largemouth bass to solve the above problems.

[0007] In another embodiment of the present invention, the experimental data of the experiments with different feeding levels include initial weight, final weight, weight gain, feed intake, terminal energy, deposited energy, energy intake and standard body weight.

[0008] In another implementation of the present invention, the regression equation is expressed as:

[0009] y=0.3831*x-40.093

[0010] Here, x represents the energy intake and y represents the energy deposition.

[0011] In another implementation of the present invention, the model for predicting the net energy required for growth is expressed as:

[0012] NER=7.0816*ADG+NEm

[0013] Where ADG represents the energy gained from daily growth, in kJ / kg / day; NEm represents the net energy for maintenance, in MJ;

[0014] NEm=a*BW 0.78 / d

[0015] Where a is the metabolic constant of the target fish species, in kJ / kg; BW is the weight of the target fish species; BW 0.78 Metabolic weight.

[0019] Figure 2FIG1 is a schematic diagram of a regression equation based on energy intake per unit body weight and energy deposition per unit body weight according to an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and detailedly described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in the embodiments of the present invention should fall within the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0021] Figure 1 A flow chart of a method for estimating the net energy required for growth of largemouth bass provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown as follows: Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment mainly includes:

[0022] S101. Calculate and process experimental data from multiple parallel fasting experiments to obtain net energy maintenance data for target fish species of different sizes.

[0023] S102. Calculate and process experimental data based on experiments at different feeding levels to obtain data on energy intake per unit body weight, energy deposition per unit body weight, and net energy for growth.

[0024] For example, the net energy for growth data is obtained by performing regression analysis on the weight gain and energy deposition data of target fish species of different sizes in the experimental data.

[0025] S103 , performing regression analysis on the energy intake per unit body weight and the energy deposited per unit body weight to obtain a regression equation.

[0026] S104: Analyze and compare the net energy maintenance data and the regression equation to determine a basal metabolic value.

[0027] For example, the above experimental data are analyzed and compared to determine the most reasonable value and range as the basal metabolic value.

[0028] S105 , combining the basal metabolic value and the net energy data for growth to construct a model for predicting the net energy required for growth.

[0029] S106: Input the expected daily weight gain into the model for predicting the net energy required for growth to obtain the net energy intake required for growth of the target fish species.

[0030] The method of the present invention for estimating the net energy value required for the growth of largemouth bass predicts the energy requirements of fish growth through linear regression and fasting metabolism, providing a theoretical and data basis for better optimizing feed energy formulas, reducing protein levels in feeds, and reducing the impact of nitrogen in feeds on water quality, thereby reducing water treatment costs and the risk of disease. At the same time, characterized by a precise breeding model, it accurately breeds fish, reduces unnecessary feed feeding, improves economic benefits, and provides strong support for the sustainable development of the aquaculture industry.

[0031] In another implementation of the present invention, the experimental data of the multiple parallel fasting experiments include body weight, daily energy consumption and daily energy consumption per unit body weight data.

[0032] For example, the experimental data of the multi-parallel fasting experiment specifically include body weight, daily energy consumption, and daily energy consumption per unit body weight. As shown in Table 1, although there are certain differences in the specifications of the two treatment groups, their related trends are similar. As the number of fasting days increases, the body weight continues to decrease, and the rate of weight loss gradually slows down. The average daily consumption of fish in the later stage of fasting is less than that in the early stage. In addition, the daily consumption per unit body weight of fish of different sizes after fasting for a specific period of time is similar, and the energy consumption per unit day ranges from 28.41 to 43.05 kJ / kg BW 0.78 / d.

[0033] Table 1. Data on the energy consumption per unit body weight of fish of different sizes after fasting for a specific period of time

[0034]

[0035]

[0036] Daily energy consumption = (initial energy - final energy) / number of experimental days

[0037] Energy consumption per unit day = daily energy consumption / unit body weight

[0038] In another embodiment of the present invention, the experimental data of the experiments with different feeding levels include initial weight, final weight, weight gain, feed intake, terminal energy, deposited energy, energy intake and standard body weight.

[0039] For example, as shown in Table 2, the effects of different feeding levels on fish growth-related parameters are specifically demonstrated, wherein as the feeding level changes, the energy intake per unit body weight and the energy deposited per unit body weight produce obvious differences, which increase significantly with the increase of intake.

[0040] Table 2. Fish growth parameters under different feeding levels

[0041]

[0042]

[0043] Weight gain = final weight - initial weight; initial energy = initial weight * water * dry weight energy

[0044] Final energy = Final weight * Water * Dry weight energy

[0045] Accumulated energy = final energy - initial energy

[0046] Standard weight = body weight ^ 0.78

[0047] Energy intake per unit body weight = energy intake / standard body weight

[0048] In another implementation of the present invention, the regression equation is expressed as:

[0049] y=0.3831*x-40.093

[0050] Here, x represents the energy intake and y represents the energy deposition.

[0051] For example, Figure 2 As shown, when returning to zero, the basal metabolism is 40.093kJ / kgBW. 0.78 / d.

[0052] In another implementation of the present invention, the model for predicting the net energy required for growth is expressed as:

[0053] NER=7.0816*ADG+NEm

[0054] Where ADG represents the energy gained from daily growth, in kJ / kg / day; NEm represents the net energy for maintenance, in MJ;

[0055] NEm=a*BW 0.78 / d

[0056] Where a is the metabolic constant of the target fish species, in kJ / kg; BW is the weight of the target fish species; BW 0.78 Metabolic weight.

[0057] In another implementation of the present invention, the net energy value model required for daily growth of fish was investigated and tested, and the specific data are shown in Table 3.

[0058] Table 3. Input and output results of the model for predicting the net energy required for growth

[0059] Experimental Group 1 Experimental Group 2 Experimental Group 3 Experimental Group 4 Net energy of feed (kJ) 8.63 8.27 8.98 8.75 Daily intake (g) 0.46 0.47 0.47 0.49 Net energy intake per day (kJ) 3.31 3.21 3.57 3.69 Actual daily growth (g) 0.47 0.46 0.51 0.53 Estimated daily growth (g) 0.47 0.49 0.53 0.54

[0060] Daily intake = total intake / number of days of breeding

[0061] Net energy intake per day = total intake * net energy of feed

[0062] Actual daily growth = total growth / number of days of cultivation

[0063] Estimated daily growth = (net energy intake - 40.3 kJ / kg BW 0.78 ) / 7.0816

[0064] As can be seen from the table, the actual values of different net energy levels and net energy intake by fish are relatively close to the estimated values.

[0065] Net energy for fish growth = Net energy for daily weight gain + Net energy for maintenance

[0066] = Net energy gained during growth + Net energy consumed by basal metabolism

[0067] The maintenance net energy and growth net energy of fish were explored by comparing three different slaughter modes to further construct a fish growth model. The maintenance net energy range of fish is 39kJ / kg~43kJ / kg BW 0.78 / d, preferably 40.3 kJ / kgBW 0.78 / d.

[0068] The present invention has the following advantages or beneficial effects:

[0069] Compared with traditional fish digestibility determination, the method for estimating the net energy value required for largemouth bass growth provided by the present invention is simpler and faster, and can further accurately determine the actual energy value required for fish growth.

[0072] In summary, the present invention provides a method and model for estimating the net energy value required for the growth of largemouth bass, which can further predict the growth of largemouth bass and make certain constructive adjustments to the feed formula to further promote the effectiveness of the feed, reduce unnecessary waste in the feed, achieve healthy aquaculture, improve economic benefits, and promote the sustainable development of aquaculture.
