Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) are widely used as feed additives in poultry for the control of pathogenic bacteria, such Salmonella enteritidis. Recently, a new range products was developed which SCFA encapsulated mineral carriers, resulting slow release during transport these carriers through intestinal tract. To test efficacy this type against early colonization after infection poultry, challenge experiment with S. enteritidis performed. Five groups 20 chickens were given no supplement or...
It has been well documented that the maturing oocyte is very vulnerable to changes in its micro-environment, follicular fluid (FF). Recent research focused on different components within this FF, like hormones, growth factors and metabolites, how their concentrations are altered by diet metabolic health of mother. proposed fatty acids (FAs) potential influence maturation subsequent embryo development. However, a thorough study specific FF FA composition per lipid fraction may be affected BMI...
Optimization of the fatty acid composition ruminant milk and meat is desirable. Dietary supplementation algae was previously shown to inhibit rumen biohydrogenation, resulting in an altered profile. Bacteria involved biohydrogenation belong Butyrivibrio group. This study aimed at relating accumulation intermediates with shifts spp. dairy cows. Therefore, experiment performed three rumen-fistulated cows receiving a concentrate containing (9.35 g/kg total dry matter [DM] intake) for 20 days....
Five isolates that produced large amounts of butyrate were obtained in the course a study on butyrate-producing microbiota from caecal content 4-week-old broiler chicken. The five virtually indistinguishable biochemical and genetic terms, suggesting they derived single bacterial clone colonizing this habitat. A phylogenetic analysis based 16S rRNA gene sequences demonstrated represented unique lineage within Clostridium leptum subgroup clostridia, with Eubacterium desmolans as closest...
In vitro studies have suggested that isolated gut bacteria are able to metabolize PUFA into CLA (conjugated linoleic acids) and CLnA linolenic acids). However, the bioavailability of fatty acid metabolites produced in vivo by microbes remains be studied. Therefore, we measured intestinal concentration plasma accumulation bacterial from dietary mice, first injected with a lipoprotein lipase inhibitor, then force-fed either sunflower oil (200 µl) rich n-6 or linseed n-3 PUFA. The greatest...
Abstract Reference techniques to study rumen biohydrogenation (BH) rely on the comparison of intake and duodenal or (ab)omasal flows polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), whereas net BH PUFA their saturated end‐products gives a quantitative measure accumulating intermediates. The current review paper aims at evaluating alternative in vivo , vitro sacco simulate reference results unprotected sources, as well strategies for overcoming manipulating BH. In sampling approaches show potential but...
