Se realizó un estudio comparativo para determinar variaciones del pH gastrointestinal posprandial en juveniles de Piaractus brachypomus (n = 21) y Schizodon fasciatus (n = 21) en condiciones de cultivo. Previo ayuno de 24 horas, los peces fueron alimentados tres veces al día a saciedad aparente, empleando una dieta mixta, conformada por alimento balanceado y músculo de corazón de pollo (proporción 1:1). La estimación del pH en el estómago, en la porción anterior y en la porción media del intestino se realizó antes de la alimentación y ocho horas posprandial, utilizando un electrodo de pH con punta tipo lanza. Se observaron diferencias significativas (p < 0,05) de los valores de pH en el estómago y en la porción media del intestino, según el tiempo de digestión en ambas especies; mientras que, en la porción anterior del intestino, solo S. fasciatus mostró diferencias significativas (p < 0,05). En ambas especies se observó un incremento del pH estomacal a la primera hora posprandial (2,39 a 4,78 en P. brachypomus, 4,47 a 4,73 en S. fasciatus), motivado por el efecto del alimento ingerido y con una reducción de los valores al finalizar el experimento. Durante las horas de evaluación, los valores de pH intestinal para P. brachypomus y S. fasciatus estuvieron entre 6,68 y 7,47 y 6,86 y 7,60, respectivamente, aumentando de manera distal a lo largo del intestino. Se concluye que ambas especies presentan una acidificación estomacal permanente, mientras que la porción anterior y media del intestino mantienen un pH ligeramente neutro....
A comparative study to determine variations in postprandial pH values along the gastrointestinal tract was performed among juveniles of Piaractus brachypomus (n = 21) and Schizodon fasciatus (n = 21) in rearing conditions. After fasting for 24 hours, the fish were fed three times a day to apparent satiety, with a mixed diet containing pelleted balanced food and chicken heart muscle (ratio 1:1). The evaluation was made before feeding and postprandial (eight hours), where the pH values of the stomach, in the anterior and in the middle portions of the intestine were estimated, using a pH electrode with a lance-type tip. Significant differences (p < 0.05) at the stomach and the middle portions of the intestine, according to the digestion time were observed in both species, while at the anterior portions of the intestine, only S. fasciatus showed significant differences (p < 0.05). In both species, an increase in stomach pH was observed in the first postprandial hour (2,39 to 4,78 in P. brachypomus, 4,47 to 4,73 in S. fasciatus), led by the effect of the ingested food, and the pH values were reduced at the end of the experiment. During the evaluation hours, intestinal pH values for P. brachypomus and S. fasciatus were between 6,68 and 7,47 and 6,86 and 7,60, respectively, increasing distally along the intestine. It is concluded that both species present a permanent stomach acidification, and that the anterior and middle portions of the intestine maintain a slightly neutral pH during digestion and assimilation of food.
