摘要: This study evaluated the effects of dietary lysine supplementation in low-protein diets on nutrient digestibility, nitrogen metabolism, growth performance, serum biomarkers, and pelt quality in female blue foxes (Alopex lagopus) during the fur-growing period. A total of 105 18-week-old female blue foxes were randomly assigned to seven groups (n = 15 per group). The control group received a standard-protein diet (28% dry matter, DM), while six experimental groups were fed low-protein diets (26% DM) supplemented with 0%, 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8%, and 1.0% lysine, corresponding to total lysine levels of 0.75%, 0.95%, 1.15%, 1.35%, 1.55%, and 1.75% DM, respectively. Lysine supplementation at 1.35% and 1.55% DM significantly improved the digestibility of ether extract and amino acids, including aspartic acid, glycine, methionine, isoleucine, and tyrosine (p < 0.05). Nitrogen retention increased accordingly, indicating enhanced dietary utilization (p < 0.05). Daily weight gain, particularly from day 15 to day 30, was significantly higher in 1.15-1.55% lysine groups compared to low-lysine groups (p < 0.05), achieving growth performance comparable to the control (p > 0.05). Serum total protein and albumin concentration were significantly improved with increasing lysine levels in low-protein groups (p < 0.01), aligning with those of the control group (p > 0.05). Furthermore, high lysine supplementation significantly improved pelt quality, as evidenced by the increased underfur length and decreased guard hair/underfur in 1.35-1.75% DM (p < 0.05). These findings suggest that lysine supplementation in low-protein diets supports nutrient utilization, growth performance, and metabolic health status while reducing dietary protein content. The optimal dietary lysine range is 1.15% to 1.55% DM (corresponding to 0.4% to 0.8% in air-dry basis), with 1.35% DM (corresponding to 0.6% in air-dry basis) identified as the most suitable level for balancing growth, nitrogen excretion, and pelt quality in fur-growing female blue foxes.
