Effects of dietary oregano essential oil supplementation on growth performance,intestinal antioxidative capacity,immunity, and intestinal microbiota in yellow-feathered chickens

Essential oils are plant-derived aromatic volatile oils, and they contain bioactive compounds that have been shown to improve poultry nutrition. In this study, we investigated the effects of oregano essential oil (OEO) on intestinal antioxidative capacity, immunity, and gut microbiota of young yellow-feathered chickens. A total of nine hundred and sixty 1-d-old female Qingyuan partridge chickens were randomly allocated to four treatment groups with six replicates of 40 birds each, and the feeding trial was lasted for 30 d. The controls were fed on a basal diet without in-feed antibiotics; the birds in the antibiotic group were fed the basal diet supplemented with 20 mg/kg virginiamycin; the remaining birds were fed the basal diet containing 150 or 300 mg/kg OEO, respectively. Dietary supplementation with 150 or 300 mg/kg OEO increased average daily feed intake (P = 0.057) and average daily gain (P < 0.05). The activities of glutathione peroxidase and total antioxidative capacity in plasma, jejuna, and ileal mucosa were increased by OEO supplementation (P < 0.05), with a trend of lower jejunal content of malonaldehyde (P = 0.062). Moreover, dietary OEO increased the content of secretory immunoglobulin A (P = 0.078) and the relative expression of Claudin 1, Mucin 2, and Avain beta-defensin 1 in ileum (P < 0.05). Sequencing data of 16S rRNA indicated that dietary OEO increased the relative abundance of Firmicutes phylum, and Clostridium and Lactobacillus genera, and decreasing that of Romboutsia. Functional analyses indicated that microbial amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism, replication, and repair systems were higher in OEO groups than those of controls and antibiotic treatment. In conclusion, dietary supplementation with OEO enhanced growth performance, alleviated local oxidative stress in intestine, improved production of natural antibodies, and favorably modulated intestinal microbiota composition.     

胃肠道褪黑素的合成及其对消化道微生物群体影响的研究进展

胃肠道褪黑素主要是由肠嗜铬细胞分泌,具有一定昼夜节律性。褪黑素通过调控细胞因子或NF-κB等调控肠道微生物及其代谢,进而影响动物肠道微生物群体结构以及某些细菌的昼夜节律。本文主要对近几年胃肠道褪黑素的合成分泌及其生理功能、肠道微生物节律性以及褪黑素对肠道微生物的调控作用等研究进行综述,以期为胃肠道褪黑素与菌群之间调控关系的研究提供一定参考。     

Evaluation the effect of subchronic feeding of transgenic cotton line (CKC1) on the faecal microbiota of albino rabbits

Recent studies have demonstrated a strong relationship between the intestinal microbiota and the host health. As such, consumers are increasingly becoming more concerned about the potential effect of certain foods/feeds, particularly of transgenic origin on the gut microbiota. Although the European Food Safety Authority has recommended in their guidelines, to study the effect of transgenic food/feed on host-microbiota, yet, few studies have focused on the evaluation of such effects mainly due to culturing difficulties. Therefore, this study was intended to evaluate the potential adverse effects of transgenic diet consumption on some specific gut microflora (Lactobacillus group, Bifidobacterium genus, Escherichia coli subgroup and Enterococcus genus) of rabbits. A total of forty-eight rabbits were randomly assigned into four groups and fed a diet containing a variable proportion of transgenic cottonseeds at 0, 20, 30 and 40% inclusion level, respectively. Changes in the specific or total faecal bacterial population were monitored at five different experimental stages (i.e. 0, 45, 90, 135 and 180 days) using both the traditional plate count method (TM) and quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). No significant differences (p > .05) were observed concerning numbers of specific bacteria or total bacteria between the control and experimental groups, though qPCR showed numerically higher values in terms of 16S rRNA gene copies as compared to the values obtained from TM. However, such numerical differences were biologically insignificant (p > .05). Similarly, no significant variations were noticed in the calculated B/E (log₁₀ copies of Bifidobacterium per g faces/log10 copies of E. coli genome per g faeces) ratios in all the groups. All the ratios were in the range of 1.24 to 1.30 throughout the experiment, indicating a good balance of intestinal microflora and greater resistance to intestinal disorders. It is therefore concluded that feeding transgenic cottonseeds could not adversely affect the gut microflora of rabbits during a long-term study.     

Effects of dietary Bacillus coagulans and yeast hydrolysate supplementation on growth performance,immune response and intestinal barrier function in weaned piglets

The present study investigated the effects of Bacillus coagulans and yeast hydrolysate supplementation on growth performance, immune response and intestinal barrier function of weaned piglets. Twenty-four weaned piglets with an average body weight (BW) of 6.89 ± 0.15 kg were divided into four diets for 28 days. The treatments were basal diet (control), basal diet supplemented with antibiotic (20 mg/kg colistin sulphate and 40 mg/kg bacitracin zinc, AT), probiotics (400 mg/kg Bacillus coagulans ≥5 × 109 CFU/g, BC) or yeast hydrolysate (5000 mg/kg yeast hydrolysate, YH). Average daily gain (ADG) and average daily feed intake (ADFI) were improved by AT and YH diets (p < 0.05), while BC diet only increased ADG (p < 0.05). The complement 3 (C3), lysozyme (LZM) and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) concentrations in serum were increased in BC diet (p < 0.05). Feeding AT and YH caused the increase of jejunal villus height (p < 0.05), and a higher ratio of villus height/crypt depth was observed in AT, BC and YH groups (p < 0.05). The mRNA expression of zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) in jejunal mucosa was up-regulated by AT, BC and YH diets (p < 0.05). Dietary AT, BC or YH inclusion decreased the interleukin-1β (IL-1β) concentration and TNF-α mRNA expression (p < 0.05), and YH supplementation even down-regulated toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and CD14 expressions (p < 0.05). In summary, the dietary administration of BC or YH both improves growth performance through promoting the intestinal barrier function, indicating both of them can serve as potential alternatives to antibiotics growth promoters for the piglet production.     

口感化及颗粒化开食料对早期断奶羔羊生长和胃肠道发育的影响

分析探讨口感化及颗粒化开食料对早期断奶羔羊生长和胃肠道发育的影响。选取新生健康的双羔湖羊公羔42只,随机分为两组,分别饲喂颗粒化和口感化开食料,试验期42 d。两组羔羊21日龄之前的采食量、体重和绝对生长的变化趋势相似。21日龄以后,口感化开食料组羔羊的采食量、体重、绝对生长和相对生长均明显高于颗粒化开食料组,42日龄体重、后两周的采食量及15～21日龄的相对生长率在两组间有显著差异(P < 0.05)。口感化开食料还显著提高(P < 0.05)了羔羊42日龄时的育肥指数、体长指数、胸围指数、管围指数和断奶前的瘤胃质量和瘤胃/胴体。以上结果表明,与颗粒化开食料相比,口感化开食料更有利于羔羊早期断奶前后的瘤胃发育、采食量提高、体重和体尺的发育,但对其他胃室及肠道发育没有影响。     

参金止痢口服液对腹泻哺乳仔猪肠道微生物菌群影响的差异性分析

研究参金止痢口服液对腹泻哺乳仔猪肠道微生物菌群的影响。选取同等饲养条件下7~15日龄体重相近的“杜×长×大”三元杂交仔猪共计9头,其中有腹泻症状的6头将其随机平均分为腹泻空白组(FXK)和腹泻中药组(FZ),正常的3头为健康空白组(JK),中药组灌服参金止痢口服液,空白组灌服同等体积生理盐水,连续灌胃5d,在给药后的第8天对仔猪采血进行抗体及细胞因子水平测定,并采集结肠内容物提取样本中菌群总DNA进行16S rRNA高通量测序。结果显示：与FXK组相比,FZ组血清中IgG含量显著升高(P＜0.05),IgM含量显著降低(P＜0.05),炎性因子IL-1β、IL-6、TNF-α含量显著下调(P＜0.01)。α、β多样性分析结果表明,三个组结肠肠道菌群结构差异显著。在门分类水平上,FZ组仔猪肠道拟杆菌门相对丰度显著高于FXK组(P＜0.05),变形菌门相对丰度显著低于FXK组(P＜0.05),而FZ与JK组之间两个菌门差异不显著。属水平上,FZ组韦荣球菌属和乳杆菌属相对丰度显著低于FXK组(P＜0.05),普雷沃氏菌属相对丰度显著高于FXK组(P＜0.05),FZ组与JK组之间这三个菌属差异不显著。综上结果表明,参金止痢口服液可能通过调节免疫及炎性相关因子水平和调节肠道菌群结构从而发挥治疗哺乳仔猪腹泻的作用。     

纤维和蛋白质对肠道健康和环境的影响

由于膳食纤维和蛋白质对肠道健康和环境都有潜在的有益或有害影响,因此,膳食纤维和蛋白质在猪肠道中的发酵是一个值得关注的问题。本文综述了近年来有关膳食纤维和蛋白质发酵对猪肠道环境的影响及其对猪粪和猪舍含氮气体和异味排放的影响,同时探讨了蛋白质发酵和相关代谢化合物的生产,与膳食纤维发酵、对肠道健康、细菌蛋白质合成和氮排泄的影响。生产上可以采用不同的营养策略来应对集约化养猪生产对环境的的负面影响,如降低日粮粗蛋白质水平减少氮排泄。总的来说,日粮纤维和蛋白质水平是影响猪肠道发酵、氮排泄和环境影响的一个有效策略。     

谷物膳食纤维对高胆固醇饮食小鼠脂质代谢及肠道菌群的影响

本研究旨在探讨谷物膳食纤维(DF)对高胆固醇饮食小鼠的脂质代谢和肠道菌群的影响。选取C57BL/6J小鼠30只,并根据体重随机分为4组,分别饲喂基础饲粮(对照,CO组,n=8)、基础饲粮+5 g/kg DF(CO+DF组,n=8)、高脂高胆固醇饲粮(HF组,n=7)及高脂高胆固醇饲粮+5 g/kg DF(HF+DF组,n=7)。试验期8周,测定各组小鼠生长性能、血清和肝脏生化指标、粪便总胆固醇(TC)、短链脂肪酸(SCFA)、相关肝脏胆固醇和胆汁酸(BA)蛋白表达及肠道菌群。结果表明:1)CO+DF组的最终体重显著低于CO组(P<0.05),与HF组相比,CO组和HF+DF组的4周和最终体重均显著降低(P<0.05),肝脏和脂肪的重量显著减少(P<0.05)。且与HF组相比,DF+HF组摄食效率显著降低(P<0.05)。2)CO+DF组血清TC、甘油三酯(TG)含量及天冬氨酸转氨酶(AST)和丙氨酸转氨酶(ALT)活性以及肝脏TC和TG含量显著低于CO组(P<0.05),CO组和HF+DF组显著低于HF组(P<0.05),粪便TC含量仅在HF+DF组显著低于HF组(P<0.05)。3)DF对肝脏胆固醇调节元件结合蛋白-2(SREBP-2)、3-羟基-3-甲基戊二酰辅酶A还原酶(HMGR)、肝脏X受体α(LXRα)、微管相关蛋白1轻链3-Ⅰ(LC3-Ⅰ)和微管相关蛋白1轻链3-Ⅱ(LC3-Ⅱ)蛋白表达没有显著影响(P>0.05)。CO+DF组肝脏胆固醇7-羟化酶(Cyp7a1)的蛋白表达水平显着低于CO组(P<0.05),但HF组和HF+DF组之间没有显著差异(P>0.05)。4)HF+DF组的粪便总SCFA和丙酸盐含量显著高于HF组(P<0.05)。与相应的对照组相比,CO+DF组和HF+DF组的粪便丁酸盐含量显著增加(P<0.05)。5)在门水平上,DF组厚壁菌门(Firmicutes)相对丰度减少,HF+DF组的拟杆菌门(Bacteroidetes)相对丰度高于HF组。梭状芽孢杆菌属ⅪⅤa(ClostridiumⅪⅤ)相对丰度在CO+DF组和HF+DF组显著增加(P<0.05)。此外,与其他组相比,仅HF+DF组中阿克曼菌属(Akkermansia)相对丰度显著增加(P<0.05)。由此可见,每千克饲粮添加5 g DF可降低饲喂含脂45%饲粮小鼠的体重和肝脏脂肪含量,降低血清TC、TG含量及AST和ALT活性以及肝脏TC和TG含量,降低胆固醇合成相关蛋白Cyp7a1的表达水平,提高总SCFA含量及肠道有益菌群和优势菌群相对丰度。
