Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to aquatic animal breeding, and in particular to a composite Chinese herbal medicine and application thereof, aquatic animal prefabricated feed and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] As global awareness of food safety and environmental protection continues to increase, the aquaculture industry faces new challenges and opportunities, and is also actively exploring a more sustainable and healthy development path. The high-density intensive breeding of aquatic products, the decline in resistance caused by the degeneration of germplasm, and the deterioration of water quality caused by the large-scale use of artificial compound feeds often lead to large-scale outbreaks of fishery diseases. The fishery is helpless in the face of frequent viral and bacterial diseases, causing huge losses. For example, the viral hemorrhagic disease of silver crucian carp has made crucian carp almost impossible to raise, and the iridovirus of sea bass has caused regional annihilation. The hepatopancreatic necrosis syndrome of Chinese mitten crab has caused a significant reduction in production, and the aquaculture industry has suffered an unprecedented heavy blow. The impact of diseases has caused breeders to abuse drugs, and the problem of excessive drug residues and drug resistance of antibiotics has become increasingly serious. This not only makes it more difficult to treat fishery diseases, but also increases the metabolic burden of aquatic animals, damages their health, and increases breeding costs and risks, posing a potential threat to product quality and food safety. Summary of the invention
[0003] Research has found that aquatic animals are mainly raised with artificial compound feeds. Aquatic animals have a higher demand for protein than livestock and poultry, and many species use 30-40% of the protein, which makes the feed cost high. In production, low-end, indigestible protein sources such as cottonseed meal and feather meal are often used as raw materials. In addition, in order to save protein, high-energy feeds such as fat are added to seek better growth. The oils used in feed production are often leftovers from other industries and have high oxidation levels. After ingestion, aquatic animals often become obese, have severe fatty liver, and even suffer from liver damage (such as hepatopancreatic necrosis syndrome in Chinese mitten crabs). After metabolic abnormalities, the physical condition of aquatic animals drops sharply, their immune resistance is low, and various diseases often break out. Many diseases of aquatic animals are conditional pathogens. When the immunity of animals decreases and the environment deteriorates, they appear one after another. It is almost impossible for drugs to eradicate the threat of pathogens, making disease control more difficult.
[0004] Based on this, the present invention proposes a composite Chinese herbal medicine and aquatic animal prefabricated feed, aiming to seek a solution from the theory of traditional Chinese medicine (starting from the concept of preventing diseases before they occur in traditional Chinese medicine).
[0005] The technical solution of the present invention: A composite Chinese herbal medicine is prepared from the following components in parts by weight: 20-30 parts of Artemisia annua, 10-15 parts of Astragalus, 10-15 parts of Isatis indigotica, 5-10 parts of Bupleurum, 5-10 parts of Polygonatum, 5-10 parts of Panax notoginseng, 5-10 parts of Forsythia, 5-8 parts of Creeping Herb, 5-10 parts of Salvia miltiorrhiza, and 10-15 parts of Licorice.

Experiment 1: Study on the immunity test of white shrimp
[0038] The experiment was divided into three treatment groups, each with four parallels. The three groups of feed were fed to Penaeus vannamei for 8 weeks. Through mid-term and late sampling, various indicators were tested to determine the effects of Chinese herbal medicine added feed on the growth performance, nonspecific immunity and intestinal health of Penaeus vannamei. The three groups were the Commercial feed group (CF), the Chinese herbs added to the commercial feed group (ChCF) and the Interval feeding group (IF) with two feeds one week apart.
[0039] The commercial Chinese herbal medicine feed is prepared by adding 2% of a Chinese herbal formula package to ordinary commercial feed (20 parts of Artemisia annua, 13 parts of Astragalus, 10 parts of Forsythia, 10 parts of Polygonatum, 10 parts of Isatis, 10 parts of Bupleurum, 5 parts of Panax notoginseng, 7 parts of Creeping Herb, 5 parts of Salvia miltiorrhiza and 10 parts of Licorice are dried and ultrafinely ground into fine powder with a particle size of less than 10 μm, and then the fine powder is put into a blender and mixed for 30 minutes to mix thoroughly), 2% of the Chinese herbal formula package, 34% of Peruvian fish meal, 18% of white fish meal, 4% of yeast powder, 6% of soybean lecithin, 14% of soybean meal, 7.3% of krill meal, 2.5% of seaweed powder, 6.5% of second flour, 5.2% of wheat gluten powder and 0.5% of salt are mixed evenly, heated to above 85°C with high-temperature steam for 30 minutes, granulated, cooled and bagged.
[0040] The feed formula of the control group was: 2% second-rate flour, 34% Peruvian fish meal, 18% white fish meal, 4% yeast powder, 6% soybean lecithin, 14% soybean meal, 7.3% krill meal, 2.5% seaweed powder, 6.5% second-rate flour, 5.2% wheat gluten powder, and 0.5% salt. 1.1 Experimental shrimp and feeding management
[0041] The shrimp fry of Penaeus vannamei were temporarily raised in the earth pond and fed with commercial feed. Feeding was stopped 24 hours before the formal experiment, and 600 healthy shrimps of uniform size (initial weight was about 3.0g) were selected and randomly distributed into 12 circulating water culture barrels (the volume, water depth and diameter of the culture barrels were 450L, 1m and 0.8m respectively). The experiment set up 3 treatments in total, with 4 replicates in each treatment. During the culture period, the daily feeding amount was 3% to 10% of the shrimp body weight (high feeding in the early stage and low feeding in the later stage), and it was fed in 3 times (8:00, 16:00 and 22:00). The specific feeding amount was adjusted in time according to the feeding situation of the shrimp and the weather conditions, so that the feeding amount of each barrel was basically the same, and it was ensured that the feed was eaten within 2 hours after feeding; it was aerated day and night, and the feces at the bottom of the culture barrel was sucked away by siphoning. The sewage was sucked once a week in the early stage of culture, and 1 / 3 of the water was changed. The sewage was sucked and the water was changed twice a week in the later stage of culture. The water source used was the pond water after sedimentation. During the test, the water temperature was 28-33°C, the salinity was 0.5‰-1.0‰, and the dissolved oxygen was ≥5.6mg / l -1 , pH value 7.8~8.5, ammonia nitrogen ≤0.2mgl -1 , nitrite ≤ 0.05mgl -1 The feeding experiment lasted for 56 days. The breeding experiment was carried out at the breeding base. 1.2 Sample collection
[0042] Before the start of the breeding experiment, 30 shrimps were randomly selected and stored in a -20℃ refrigerator, of which 10 shrimps were combined into one sample for initial sample composition analysis. After the end of the breeding experiment, feeding was stopped for 24 hours, and the shrimps in each breeding bucket were weighed and the number of shrimps was recorded; 4 shrimps were randomly selected from each breeding bucket, the surface moisture of the shrimps was sucked dry, and stored in a -20℃ refrigerator for whole shrimp body composition analysis. 9 shrimps were randomly selected from each breeding bucket, and hemolymph was extracted from the pericardial cavity behind the cephalothorax. After mixing with anticoagulant in a ratio of 1:1, centrifuged at 10000rmin-1 for 20min, and the supernatant was stored at -80℃ for the detection of immune and antioxidant indicators (the anticoagulant formula was 0.14M sodium chloride, 0.1M glucose, 26mM citric acid, 30mM sodium citrate, and 10mM EDTA). After blood was collected from the shrimp, the hepatopancreas (3 shrimps were combined into one sample) was taken and frozen at -80℃ for the determination of relevant digestive enzyme activities. Three emptied-intestine shrimps were collected from each culture tank, and the midgut and complete hepatopancreas of the shrimp were preserved in Bouin's fixative. Six emptied-intestine shrimps were collected from each culture tank, and the body surface was wiped with 75% alcohol. The midguts were combined into one sample, placed in liquid nitrogen for 6 hours, and then stored at -80°C for intestinal microbial analysis. 1.3 Growth performance
[0043] Growth performance indicators include survival rate (SR), weight gain rate (WG), feed conversion rate (FCR), protein deposition rate (PRE) and fat deposition rate (LRE): Survival rate, (%) = 100 × (number of shrimps harvested / number of shrimps released) Weight gain rate, (%) = 100 × (final average mass - initial average mass) / initial average mass Feed coefficient = feeding amount / (final average mass-initial average mass) Protein deposition rate, (%) = 100 × (final average mass × final whole shrimp crude protein content - initial average mass × initial whole shrimp crude protein content) / (feeding amount × feed crude protein content) Fat deposition rate, (%) = 100 × (final average mass × final whole shrimp crude fat content - initial average mass × initial whole shrimp crude fat content) / (feeding amount × feed crude fat content) 1.4 Serum biochemical indexes and hepatopancreatic digestive enzyme activities Acid phosphatase (ACP), alkaline phosphatase (AKP) and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) were determined by colorimetry. Lysozyme (LZM) was determined by turbidimetry. Catalase (CAT) was determined by complex method. Total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) was determined by xanthine oxidase method. Malondialdehyde (MDA) was determined by thiobarbituric acid method. Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) was determined by nitrobenzoic acid method. The above indicators were determined according to the instructions of the kit (Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Institute, Nanjing, Jiangsu). 1.5 Intestinal and hepatopancreatic tissue sections
[0044] When making slices, the midgut and hepatopancreas were dehydrated with ethanol, transparentized with xylene, embedded in paraffin, sliced (thickness 5 μm) (LeiknRM2235 slicer, Germany), stained with HE, and sealed to make permanent sections. The morphological characteristics of intestinal folds were observed and photographed under a light microscope (NikonYS100 microphotography system), and the height, width and muscle thickness of intestinal epithelial folds were measured with a micrometer. 1.6 Immune gene expression in gill tissue
[0045] The specific primer pairs for the β-actin gene and other genes (Table 1) were based on the relevant cDNA sequences of Penaeus vannamei in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database. Total RNA was extracted using Trizol reagent, and the concentration and purity of total RNA were determined by UV spectrophotometer and agarose gel electrophoresis. The TaKaRa reverse transcription kit (PrimeScript TMTotal RNA was reverse transcribed into cDNA by RT. The fluorescence quantitative PCR reaction procedure was as follows: 95℃ pre-denaturation for 3min, 95℃ denaturation for 10s, 60℃ annealing for 10s, 72℃ extension for 30s, a total of 39 PCR cycles, and finally a melting curve test. The gene expression level of gill tissue of Penaeus vannamei in the NM group was used as a benchmark, and β-actin was used as an internal reference gene. The 2-ΔΔCt method was used to calculate the expression level of immune-related genes in gill tissues of each group. Table 1 Real-time quantitative PCR primers for immune-related genes and β-actin in Litopenaeus vannamei.
[0046] 1.7 Gut microbiota based on 16s rRNA sequencing
[0047] Four shrimps were taken from each parallel group, and the body surface was wiped with 75% alcohol for sterilization and disinfection. The intestines were taken under sterile conditions and placed in 1.0 ml centrifuge tubes for intestinal microbial composition analysis. The sequencing experiment was commissioned to Shanghai Meiji Biomedical Technology Co., Ltd. (China) for next-generation sequencing (NGS) library preparation and Illumina Miseq sequencing. Primers 338F (5'-ACTCCTACGGGAGGCAGCAG-3') and 806R14.47 (5'-GGACTACHVGGGTWTCTAAT-3') were used to amplify the V3-V4 hypervariable region of bacterial 16S rRNA (GeneAmp9700, ABI, USA), and the microbial community was identified by 16S rRNA sequence analysis. 1.8 Data Processing
[0048] Data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD). SPSS 22.0 statistical software was used for statistical analysis. All data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). If there was a significant difference, the Duncan multivariate range test was used to determine the statistical significance between the groups. P When the value was <0.05, the mean values were considered to be significantly different. 2. Results

[0055] 2.4 Hepatopancreas and Intestinal Tissue Morphology
[0056] Figure 1It can be seen that in the mid-term and late sampling, the epithelial cells between the hepatopancreatic tubules in the Chinese herbal feed supplement group and the alternating feeding group were closely connected, the hepatopancreatic tubules showed a star-shaped polygonal structure, clear morphology, and moderate lumen size and epithelial thickness. In the mid-term and late sampling of the common commercial feed group, the star-shaped polygonal structure of some hepatopancreatic tubules disappeared, the lumen became larger, the epithelium became thinner, and the B cells and r cells were compressed into an ellipse. The hepatopancreas of normal vannamei shrimp is composed of hepatic tubules, and the center of the hepatic tubule is the lumen. Each hepatic tubule is composed of a single layer of epithelial cells located on the basement membrane. The epithelial cells are divided into embryonic cells (E cells), which are undifferentiated cells distributed at the blind end (top) of the hepatic tubules, secretory cells (B cells), fiber cells (F cells) and storage cells (R cells). R (restzellen) cells usually contain lipid vacuoles of varying sizes (R cells show typical characteristics of absorptive epithelium. These R cells are slender and seem to be "squeezed" between other types of cells, but extend to the entire epithelial cell layer). F (fibrous) cells contain numerous ribosomes and a well-developed endoplasmic reticulum; B (blasenzellen) cells typically contain a single large secretory vesicle.
[0057] Figure 2 The midgut morphology of shrimp fed different feeds at different stages is shown. In the midgut of shrimps in the Chinese herbal medicine feed group and the alternating tail casting group, villi formed by a single layer of columnar cells were clearly visible, and the villi were arranged in an orderly and compact manner. In the mid-stage of the shrimps in the ordinary commercial feed group, the height of the villi and the thickness of the intestinal wall decreased significantly, and in the late stage, there was even only a single layer of columnar cells on the inner wall of some midguts, and no obvious midgut folds were observed.
[0058] As shown in Table 5, at the mid-term sampling, the number of intestinal villi in the ChCF-I and IF-I groups was significantly greater than that in the CF-I group ( P ≤0.05), there were no significant differences in villus height, villus width and base thickness among the groups ( P ≥0.05). At the end of the sampling period, the number and height of intestinal villi in the ChCF-I and IF-I groups were significantly greater than those in the CF-I group ( P ≤0.05), there was no significant difference in villus width and base thickness among the groups ( P ≥0.05).

[0059] 2.5 Immune gene expression in gill tissue
[0060] Depend on Figure 3It can be seen that in the middle of the culture period, the expression levels of Lysozyme and Toll-like receptor genes in the gill tissues of the ChCF-I and IF-I groups were significantly higher than those in the CF-I group, and the expression levels of IMD and SOD genes in the gill tissues of the ChCF-I group were significantly higher than those in the CF-I group ( P ≤0.05). At the end of the culture period, the expression levels of Lysozyme and IMD genes in the gill tissues of the ChCF-L and IF-L groups were significantly higher than those in the CF-L group, and the expression levels of Toll-like receptor and SOD genes in the gill tissues of the ChCF-L group were significantly higher than those in the CF-L group ( P ≤0.05). 2.6 Gut Microbes
[0061] Through 16SrRNA sequencing, a total of 1933757 valid sequences were obtained, with bases of 813334348bp and an average sequence length of 420bp, of which 85.63% of the sequences were between 421 and 440bp. After cluster analysis of the obtained sequences, 520, 1170, 1161, 656, 869 and 1120 representative bacterial OTUs were obtained in the six groups, respectively. There were 184 common OTUs in the six treatment groups, and 96, 618, 291, 100, 128 and 171 unique OTUs, respectively. Figure 4 shown.
[0062] The dominant flora in the intestinal flora of Penaeus vannamei in each treatment group were Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Actinobacteriota, Bacteroidota, Patescibacteria, and Cyanobacteria, accounting for 96.59%, 84.50%, 95.95%, 96.73%, 94.46%, and 96.87% of the intestinal flora of Penaeus vannamei, respectively. The rest were mainly unclassified_k__norank_d__Bacteria, Chloroflexi, Acidobacteriota, Verrucomicrobiota, Planctomycetota, etc. Figure 5 shown.
[0063] At the genus level, the dominant bacterial flora in the intestinal tract of Penaeus vannamei in each treatment group were Candidatus_Bacilloplasma, Chitinibacter, Shewanella, Sphingomonas, Vibrio, Aeromonas, and Pseudomonas. Figure 6 shown.
[0064] There were significant differences in the composition and abundance of intestinal microbial phyla among the treatment groups. There were significant differences in the bacterial phyla ( P <0.05), such as Figure 7 shown.
[0065] There were significant differences in the composition and abundance of intestinal microorganisms at the genus level among the treatment groups. There were significant differences in the genera such as Shewanella, Chloroflexi, Pseudorhodobacter, Flavobacterium, Timonella, and Gemmobacter ( P <0.05), such as Figure 8 shown.
