摘要： beta-Glucans are immunostimulants and are widely used in aquaculture industry. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different periods of beta-glucan management on growth performance, intestinal health, and disease resistance in pearl gentian grouper (Epinephelus lanceolatus male x Epinephelus fuscoguttatus female). A commercial feed was used as control diet (CD), and the beta-glucan diet (beta D) was based on CD and further supplemented with 0.1% beta-glucan. Grouper in control and long-term beta-glucan diet (LGD) groups were fed with CD and beta D for 8 weeks, respectively. Groupers in short-term beta-glucan diet (SGD) group were fed with CD for the first 4 weeks and beta D for the last 4 weeks. We found that LGD and SGD had no effect on growth performance but reduced the mortalities of grouper after challenging with Vibrio harveyi. In addition, both LGD and SGD increased intestinal morphology, enhanced antioxidant capacity, enhanced immunity, inhibited apoptosis, altered the transcriptional profile, and activated mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-kappa B) signaling pathway in the intestine of grouper. Furthermore, the effect of LGD on most of the above parameters was comparable to that of SGD. In conclusion, LGD and SGD did not affect growth rate parameters but enhanced the intestinal health and disease resistance of pearl gentian grouper.
