| This experiment aims to study the process conditions of solid-state fermentation of bran by bacteriophage enzymes,evaluate its effect on the feeding value of geese,and provide reference data and a theoretical basis for applying fermented bran in geese production.Experiment 1:Exploration of the process of solid-state fermentation of bran by Bacillus subtilis,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and Lactobacillus plantarum as fermenting strains,and cellulase,phytase and acid protease as compound enzyme preparations,and the additional levels of Bacillus subtilis,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Lactobacillus plantarum,cellulase,phytase,and acid protease were investigated by single-factor test and orthogonal test,respectively.The optimal fermentation temperature,material-to-water ratio,and fermentation time were screened and optimized by Box-Behnken test with orthogonal test and response surface analysis,and the weighted indices of neutral detergent fiber degradation rate,phytate phosphorus degradation rate,and crude protein growth rate were used as response values to determine the bran bacterial-enzyme synergistic solid-state fermentation process.The apparent metabolic energy,authentic metabolic energy,and nutrient utilization of fermented wheat bran(FWB)in geese were also determined by in vivo digestion and metabolism tests on adult male geese at 280 days of age with the evacuation-strong feeding method.In the second experiment,360 1-day-old Yangzhou geese were randomly divided into five treatment groups with six replicates of 12 geese each for 63 d.The control group(group A)was fed corn-soybean meal-based rations,while the experimental groups B,C,D,and E were fed rations with 2%,4%,6%,and 8%FWB,respectively.The optimum amount of FWB in the diet for geese from 1 to 63 days of age was determined by analyzing growth performance,immune index,serum index,and intestinal health.The test results showed that:(1)The addition of 4.0‰ cellulase and 1.0‰ phytase significantly reduced the levels of NDF and PA in wheat bran,respectively(P<0.05),and the addition of 0.5‰ acid protease could substantially increase the level of CP in wheat bran(P<0.05).Combined with the orthogonal test and response surface test design optimization,the optimal fermentation process parameters were:25%Pseudomonas aeruginosa,15%Bacillus subtilis,20%Lactobacillus plantarum,3.5‰ cellulase,1‰ phytase,0.75‰ acid protease,59.5 h fermentation time,1:1.3 material to water ratio,and 32℃ fermentation temperature.(2)The contents of PA and NDF in FWB were 60.94%and 17.43%lower than those of unfermented bran,and the levels of CP,ASP,and TAA were 22.98%,77.49%,and 21.53%higher than those of unfermented bran,respectively.The results of emptying-strong feeding metabolism showed that CP and TP utilization was significantly higher in the fermented bran group compared to the unfermented bran group(P<0.05),and the differences in the effects on AME,TME,EE,and CF were not significant(P>0.05).(3)The use of 6%and 8%FWB in the diet significantly increased the body weight of 21-day-old goslings(P<0.05),6%and 8%FWB significantly
