چکیده

زمینه مطالعاتی: انار به‏دلیل ترکیبات فنولی (فلاونوییدها و تانن‏ها) که بیش‏تر در پوست و آب انار گردآمده‏اند دارای ویژگی‏های ضدباکتریایی و ضدقارچی است که این ویژگی‏ها در گونه‎های مختلف انار از لحاظ قدرت و طیف یکسان نیستند. هدف: هدف از این آزمایش بررسی اثرات سیلاژ تفاله (مخلوط دانه و پوسته) و تفاله خشک دانه انار بر دو باکتری مفید (لاکتوباسیلوس) و مضر (اشریشیا کلی) دستگاه گوارش بره‏های پرواری بود. روش کار: شمار 9 راًس بره‏ی نر نژاد مهربان (با میانگین وزنی 5/3 ± 03/27 کیلوگرم، و میانگین سنی 4/1 ± 8/ 187 روز)، با سه جیره آزمایشی هم‏انرژی و هم‏پروتئین (جیره شاهد، جیره دارای 20/27 درصد سیلاژ تفاله انار و جیره دارای 40/31 درصد تفاله خشک دانه ‏انار) به‏مدت 60 روز در جایگاه انفرادی خوراک‏دهی شدند. برای شمارش فلورمیکروبی روده، پس از کشتار، یک گرم نمونه تازه گوارشی از ایلیوم و سکوم جمع‏آوری شد. نمونه‏ها روی سطح محیط کشت آگار گسترش یافت. کلنی‏ها به روش چشمی شمارش و تعداد باکتری‏ها به‏صورت واحدCFU (تعداد کلنی در هر گرم) محاسبه شد. برای کشت میکروب‏های لاکتوباسیلوس، محیط کشت MRS آگار و برای باکتری اشریشیاکلای (Escherichia. coli) محیط کشت MC (مکانکی) آگار استفاده شد. برای تایید نهایی باکتری‏های جدا شده روی آگار مکانکی از آزمونPCR استفاده شد. نتایج: یافته‏های این پژوهش نشان داد که شمار باکتری‏های لاکتوباسیلوس در ایلیوم و سکوم تحت تأثیر خوراک‏دهی پسماند انار قرار نگرفت (‍P>0.05). میانگین شمار اشریشیاکلای در بره‏هایی که پسماند انار دریافت کرده بودند در ایلیوم و سکوم از گروه شاهد کم‏تر بود (‍P<0.05) ولی اختلاف معنی‏داری میان دو گروه تغذیه شده با پسماند انار دیده نشد. نتیجه‏گیری نهایی: به نظر می‏رسد به‏کارگیری تفاله انار می‏تواند موجب کاهش جمعیت باکتری‏های اشریشیا کلی در ایلیوم و سکوم بره‏های نژاد مهربان شود.

چکیده [English]

Introduction: The antibacterial and antifungal effects of pomegranates peel and seeds is associated with the presence of phenolic compounds (flavonoids and tannin) in them. These effects varies among different types of pomegranate. Aims: The aim of this study to investigate the effects of silage pulp (mixture of seed and pulp) and dry pulp of pomegranate seed on the growing of lactobacillus (profitable) and Escherichia coli (pathogen) bacteria in the digestive tract of fattening lambs. Methods: nine male lamb of Mehraban breed (average weighing of 27.03 ± 3.5 and mean age of 187.8 ± 1.4) were selected and fed on three experimental ration, with the same protein and energy values (including control diet, 27% of pomegranate peel silage and 31% of dried pomegranate seed pulp) for a period of 60 days. To count the microbial flora, one gram fresh samples of ilium and seccum were then collected. The microbial count was performed and reported as CFU (colony forming unit) per each gram of a sample. MRS and MacConky agars were respectively used to enumerate Lactobacillus and Escherchia coli. In a PCR assay a pair of species-specific were also used to confirm the E. coli. Results: The bacterial counts were not affected with the types of diets (p<0.05). A significant lower count of E. coli was shown in the intestinal flora of the lambs fed on the waste pomegranate compared to the control group (p<0.05). No significant difference was observed between the groups fed on the pomegranate silage. Conclusion: A considerable reduction in the E.coli count in the ilium and seccum of the lambs was an interesting findings.
These compounds accumulate in the skin and pomegranate juice and account for 92% of the antioxidant activity of pomegranates (Abid et al. 2017). Total tannins for pomegranate peel and pulp were reported to be 9.73 and 0.66%, respectively (Delavare et al. 2014). The different species of pomegranate have antibacterial and antifungal properties that can influence on a wide range of microorganisms (Carlton et al. 2000). Phenolic compounds in plants and foods by changing the gut microbial population can increase the amount of useful bacteria and reduce harmful bacteria (Katiyar et al. 2002).It has been found that intestinal microflora plays a critical role in the health of the digestive tract and is dependent on the ration as the final source for metabolism of organic compounds. (Choct et al. 1996), To our knowledge, the effects of pomegranate by-products have been investigated on livestock and rumen function, however their effects on the intestinal microflora in ruminants have not been addressed. Therefore due to the high concentration of tannins and phenolic compounds in the pomegranate by-products and their effect on intestinal microflora, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of pomegranate pomace silage and pomegranate dry pomace on intestinal microflora in Mehraban fattening lambs.
Matherials and methods: Nine Mehraban male lambs (mean weight of 27.03±3.5 kg and mean age of 187.8±1.4 d), were fed on three iso-nitrogenous and iso-caloric experimental diets. Diets were balanced according to NRC (2007) recommendation including control diet, diet contain 27% pomegranate pulp silage and diet contain 31% dry pomegranate seed pulp. All three diets were fed for 60 d after 3 weeks for adaptation in individual pens with free access to salts lick and water. At the end of experiment all lambs were slaughtered and after than for enumeration of intestinal fluoromicrobes, one gram freshly digested specimens of ileum and cecum were collected. Samples were spread on the surface of agar medium. Colonies were counted by ophthalmic count and bacterial count was calculated as CFU/g (number of colonies per gram). The MRS agar and Maconkey (MC) medium were used for identification and enumeration of Lactobacillus spp and Escherichia coli respectively. All samples were incubated at 37ºC for 24 hours. All colonies were enumerated and recorded as CFU/g of culture suspension. For confirmation of Escherichia coli detection on McKonkey agar medium, polymerase change reaction (PCR) was conducted as DNA extraction using commercial kit (Bioneer, Sout Korea), polymerase change reactions, and electrophoresis of PCR products. Detection of molecular bacteria was done using the primers of 23S rRNA gene PCR. The PCR process was initial denaturation at 94 ºC for 2 minutes and totally 35 cycles, denaturation at 94 ºC for 45 seconds, and extension at 72 ºC for 2 minutes. All data was analyzed as a complete randomized design using SPSS software. Significant difference for means was considered at 0.05 level of differences.
Results and discussion: The results of this study showed that in MRS medium either in ilium or cecum, the number of lactobacillus bacteria in all groups were not statistically significant. The mean number of Escherichia coli decreased due to feeding of pomegranate by-products (P<0.05), while the type of pomegranate by-product has not significant effect on number of Escherichia coli. The importance role of gut microflora is well recognized in GIT health, although population of gut microbes has been influenced by diet (Choct et al 1996). In contrast of useful effects of lactobacillus on GIT, Escherichia coli damages the intestine of animals and produces lipopolysaccharide (Munyaka et al. 2012). Tannins are considered as a toxin to microorganisms; these compounds in the soluble environment produce some stable complexes, mainly with protein and to a lesser extent with carbohydrates or some physiological ions elements such as iron and copper (Chung and Chou 1998). The pomegranate peel extract at different levels has antimicrobial effect against microorganisms such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Candida tropicalis and Candida albicans (Ahmed et al. 2013). The phenolic materials in pomegranate fruit, are responsible for the antimicrobial properties of pomegranates (Seeram et al. 2006). In the present study, reduction of Escherichia coli population in lambs fed pomegranate by-products can be attributed to the adverse effect of phenolic substances in the pomegranate by-products on Escherichia coli population. Several mechanisms have been introduced for antimicrobial properties of phenolic compounds in the pomegranate. Phenolic substances, with high molecular weight proteins, form complexes and by these complexes can react to the some cytoplasmic and membrane enzymes after absorption (Seeram et al. 2006). These complexes can also prevent cell surface receptors from attachment of harmful microorganisms (Cowan 1999). Phenolic compounds can react with the cellular proteins of microorganisms, alter cell wall structure and function (Hugo and Bloomfield 1971), reducing cell wall permeability and reducing substrate transport to cells (Goel et al. 2005). In addition, phenolic compounds can alter or denature some microbial enzymes, and also form complexes with certain nutrients and remove them from microorganisms (Hago and Bloomfield 1971). The decline of Escherichia coli can also be attributed to the increase in the number of Lactobacillus; because by increasing the Lactobacillus and consequently increasing the production of lactic acid and creating an acidic environment, the population of Escherichia coli is reduced due to sensitivity of Escherichia coli to acidic environment (Hammer et al. 1999).
Conclusion: Feeding of the pomegranate pomace silage and dry pomegranate pomace in fattening lambs, decreased the population of Escherichia coli in ileum and cecum, although lactobacillus bacteria was not affected by pomegranate by-products. It seems that the tannins and phenolic compounds present in the pomegranate can effect on Escherichia coli population in ileum and cecum.
