Arginine Supplementation

Velvet antler is a regeneration organ of sika deer (Cervus nippon) and an important Chinese medicine, and nutrient metabolism affects its growth. Here, we investigated the effects of arginine supplementation on antler growth, serum biochemical indices, and the rumen bacterial community of sika deer during the antler growth period. Fifteen male sika deer (6 years old) were randomly assigned to three dietary groups, which were supplemented with 0 (n = 5, CON), 2.5 (n = 5, LArg), or 5.0 g/d (n = 5, HArg) L-arginine. The IGF-1, ALT and AST concentrations in the serum of LArg sika deer were significantly higher than those in the serum of CON (P < 0.05) and HArg deer (P < 0.05). The phyla Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, and Proteobacteria were dominant in the rumen of sika deer among the three groups. Comparison of alpha diversities showed that the ACE and Chao1 indices significantly increased in the LArg and HArg groups compared with those in the CON group. PCoA and ANOSIM results showed that the bacterial community was significantly changed between the CON and LArg groups. Moreover, the relative abundances of Fibrobacter spp. and Prevotellaceae UCG-003 increased, but those of Clostridium sensu stricto 1 and Corynebacterium 1 decreased in the LArg and HArg groups compared with those in the CON group. Additionally, the relative abundances of 19 OTUs were significantly different between the LArg and HArg groups. These results revealed that arginine supplementation affected the sika deer rumen bacterial community and serum biochemical indices.

Abstract Sika deer (Cervus nippon) constitutes one of the most valuable animal genetic resources in east Asia. The aim of this study was to identify and validate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from antler growth-related genes of sika deer. The whole genome sequencing data of sika deer were used to identify SNP markers. Among them, 31 SNPs from antler growth-related genes exhibited significant polymorphism using genotyping by mass spectrometry. The observed and expected heterozygosities were ranged from 0.147 to 0.997 and 0.201 to 0.500, respectively. Significant deviation from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was observed in 6 loci. These findings provide effective molecular detection markers for the study of variation in antler growth rate of sika deer.
