Efecto de la lovastatina sobre la producción de metano y la digestibilidad de la materia seca in vitro del pasto kikuyo (Cenchrus clandestinus)

Abstract

RESUMEN: Las emisiones de metano (CH4), provenientes de la fermentación ruminal del ganado, tienen un impacto negativo sobre el ambiente y el balance energético de los animales, aumentando el calentamiento global y disminuyendo la energía retenida, respectivamente. Existe evidencia que la lovastatina inhibe el crecimiento de metanógenos sin afectar otras poblaciones microbianas del rumen. El objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar el efecto de niveles crecientes de lovastatina sobre la producción de CH4 y la digestibilidad de la materia seca (DMS) in vitro del pasto kikuyo (Cenchrus clandestinus). Fue empleada la técnica in vitro de producción de gas, incubando pasto kikuyo de 45 días de edad con cuatro niveles de lovastatina (0, 0.01, 0.05, 0.10 mg/ml). Al término de 24 horas se evaluó la producción de gas y de CH4, la DMS y el perfil de fermentación. Un diseño completamente aleatorizado fue utilizado para el análisis de los datos, a través del procedimiento PROC MIXED de SAS. El mayor nivel de lovastatina redujo significativamente (p<0,05) la DMS y la producción de gas y CH4. El perfil de fermentación no presentó una tendencia definida en función de los niveles evaluados, encontrando una mayor concentración de AGV en el tratamiento 0.05 mg/ml. Aunque se confirma que la utilización de lovastatina reduce significativamente la producción de CH4 , sin afectar en igual medida la DMS, este efecto se evidenció con un nivel mayor al reportado por la literatura. Posiblemente la respuesta está condicionada a la utilización de líquido ruminal, contrastando con los cultivos puros de metanógenos empleados en otros estudios.

ABSTRACT: Emissions of methane (CH4), from cattle rumen fermentation, have a negative impact on the environment and energy balance of animals, increasing global warming and reducing the energy retained, respectively. There is evidence that lovastatin inhibits methanogens growth without affecting other rumen microbial populations. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of increasing levels of lovastatin on in vitro CH4 production and dry matter digestibility (DMD) of kikuyu grass (Cenchrus clandestinus). It was used the in vitro gas production technique, incubing kikuyu grass of 45 days old with four levels of lovastatin (0, 0.01, 0.05, 0.10 mg/ml). At the end of 24 hours, gas and CH4 productions, DMD and fermentation profile was evaluated. A completely randomized design was used for data analysis, through the PROC MIXED SAS procedure. The highest level of lovastatin significantly reduced (p <0.05) the gas and CH4 productions and the DMD. The fermentation profile showed a tendency not defined in terms of levels evaluated, finding a higher concentration of VFA in the treatment 0.05 mg/ml. Although the lovastatin significantly reduces CH4 production, without affecting the DMD equally, this effect was evidenced with higher level than the reported in the literature. Perhaps the answer is conditioned to use of rumen fluid, contrasting with pure cultures of methanogens used in other studies.
