Effects of N-carbamoylglutamic acid (NCG) on growth and viscera of aquatic animals

Promoting growth and controlling diseases has always been the two main directions of aquatic animal research. Proteins and amino acids play an important role in fish body composition and metabolism. However, fish cannot synthesize all the amino acids they need, and the lack of essential amino acids will lead to a decrease in fish growth performance and feed efficiency [1-2] . Arginine is one of the 10 essential amino acids in fish [3] . It is involved in protein synthesis, promotes endocrine and regulates body immunity in fish. In recent years, studies have shown that arginine also has a good regulatory effect on animal fat, and it is currently believed to play its role mainly through the nitric oxide pathway [4] . 7vW China Feed Industry Information Network - based on feed, serving animal husbandry

N-carbamoylglutamic acid (NCG) is a structural analog of N-acetylglutamate (NAG) that acts in the body of the animal to participate in the urea cycle of the body like NAG. Studies have shown that NAG is an essential cofactor and limiting factor for the endogenous synthetic pathway of arginine [5] . In terrestrial animals, NO can be produced through the urea cycle, thereby regulating the cardiovascular system and immune system. The role of NCG in fish and lower organisms is less studied. 7vW China Feed Industry Information Network - based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Cheng Weixuan et al [6] conducted a two-month test on fat deposition of tilapia juveniles (3 cm in length) by NCG, and found that the addition of 0.25 g NCG/ton of feed liver was reduced by about 1/3. Table 1). 7vW China Feed Industry Information Network - based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Based on this, our company also carried out NCG experiments on the liver index and the body index of juvenile turbot (full length 8cm). The results showed that the liver of the NCG group was significantly higher than that of the control group. Decline, the decline is above 14%. The liver-to-body ratio and the visceral ratio showed a downward trend with the addition of NCG, and the 0.8 group (ie, adding 0.8 g NCG/ton of feed) was the best (see Table 2). 7vW China Feed Industry Information Network - based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Wang Liansheng et al [7] used NCG-added corn gluten meal instead of fish meal to raise hybrid carp. It was found that the average terminal weight, weight gain rate and protein efficiency of the hybrid carp of the experimental group with 500gNCG/ton of feed increased by 12.2% and 13.73, respectively. % and 9.58%; the feed coefficient decreased by 10%; the average dead weight, weight gain rate and protein efficiency of the hybrids in the experimental group supplemented with 1000g NCG/ton of feed increased by 18.93%, 21.5% and 19.58%, respectively; 19.28% (see Table 3). 7vW China Feed Industry Information Network - based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Because the application of arginine in aquatic products is limited by many factors such as crystal moisture absorption, water solubility, storage difficulties, arginine-lysine antagonism [8] . NCG can effectively replace NAG, and further produce NO by producing endogenous arginine, which can improve the growth rate of fish on the one hand, and regulate the fat synthesis and decomposition of liver and viscera through nitric oxide pathway on the other hand, in case Control the occurrence of fatty liver and hepatobiliary syndrome. 7vW China Feed Industry Information Network - based on feed, serving animal husbandry
