Recent studies indicate that intestinal oxidative stress and microbiota imbalance is involved in weaning-induced dysfunction piglets. We have investigated the effect of feeding a carvacrol–thymol blend supplemented diet on redox status, selected microbial populations barrier weaning The piglets (weaned at 21 days age) were randomly allocated to two groups with six pens per treatment 10 pen. At day (21 age), sacrificed before serve as preweaning group. weaned group was fed basal diet, while...
Oregano essential oil (OEO) has long been used to improve the health of animals, particularly intestine, which is generally attributed its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects. However, how OEO acts in intestine pig still unclear. This study was aimed at elucidating promotes intestinal barrier integrity a model. Pigs were fed control diet alone or one supplemented with 25 mg/kg for 4 weeks. The OEO-treated pigs showed decreased (P < 0.05) endotoxin level serum increased villus height...
Fifty-four multiparous large white sows were used to determine the effects of supplementing oregano essential oil (OEO) gestation and lactation diets on oxidative stress status, feed intake, their piglet performance. Two groups fed with (OEO;<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M1"><mml:mi>n</mml:mi><mml:mo>=</mml:mo><mml:mn>28</mml:mn></mml:math>) or without (Control;<mml:math id="M2"><mml:mi>n</mml:mi><mml:mo>=</mml:mo><mml:mn>26</mml:mn></mml:math>) supplemental 15...
Although the direct effects of dietary soluble fiber on gut microbiota have been extensively studied, more indirect maternal nutrition solely during pregnancy development offspring's intestine are until now largely unexplored. Our data show that a diet is independently associated with changes in intestinal composition and metabolism suckling piglets. These findings implications for refining recommendations pregnancy. Moreover, reduces permeability prevents inflammation an excessive systemic...
Oregano essential oil (OEO) has long been used to improve the health of animals, particularly their intestinal health. The benefits OEO are generally attributed antioxidative actions, but mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we investigate effects and underlying molecular in porcine small epithelial (IPEC‐J2) cells. We found that treatment prior hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O ) exposure increased cell viability prevented lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release into medium. H ‐induced reactive oxygen...
Previous studies have suggested that immune system development and weaning stress are closely related to the maturation of gut microbiota. The early-life period is a "window opportunity" for microbial colonization, which potentially has critical impact on system. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) probiotics often used regulate colonization. This study aims test whether early intervention with FMT using fecal from gestation sows combined Clostridium butyricum Saccharomyces boulardii...
The domestic pig (Sus scrofa), an important species in animal production industry, is a right model for studying adipogenesis and fat deposition. In order to expand the repertoire of porcine miRNAs further explore potential regulatory which have influence on adipogenesis, high-throughput Solexa sequencing approach was adopted identify backfat Large White (lean type pig) Meishan pigs (Chinese indigenous fatty pig). We identified 215 unique comprising 75 known pre-miRNAs, 49 miRNA*s were first...
This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of quercetin supplementation on intestinal integrity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and inflammation in pigs under transport stress. A total 170 finishing were randomly assigned into two groups. Animals control group consumed a basal diet, while those treatment same diet supplemented with 25 mg per kg feed. After 4-week period, transported for 5 hr. The quercetin-supplemented showed decreased serum endotoxin (P<0.05), increased...
Although dietary fibers contribute to health and physiology primarily via the fermentative actions of gut microbiota hosts, few studies have focused on how these interactions influence metabolic status sows. Here, effects inclusion konjac flour (KF) in a gestation diet oxidative stress status, insulin sensitivity, were investigated elucidate correlation between changes Sows assigned either control or 2.2% KF treatment during gestation. The population sows lactation was assessed by 16S rRNA...
With recent bans on the growth-promoting use of antibiotics, alternative strategies are needed to improve performance agricultural animals. Here, effects dietary supplementation with Clostridium butyricum and a combination Saccharomyces boulardii Pediococcus acidilactici were assessed laying performance, egg quality, oxidative status, gut health in hens. A total 8208 Lohmann pink hens divided into 3 treatment groups, each group replicated 12 times (n = 228). Hens control (CON) provided basic...
This study investigated the influence of sow backfat thickness at 109 d gestation on and piglet performance. Data from 846 farrowing multiparous Yorkshire sows with parity 3 to 5 were collected a pig breeding farm. Sows divided into six groups based (≤16, 17-18, 19-20, 21-22, 23-24, ≥25 mm) gestation. The evaluation reproductive performance included litter size, weight birth weaning 21 d, placenta parturition, placental efficiency, daily feed intake lactation. Parameters related plasma...
Adipogenesis is tightly controlled by a complex network of transcription factors acting at different stages differentiation. Kruppel-like (KLFs) as family zinc-finger play diverse roles during cell differentiation and development in mammals.In the present study, we showed that KLF13 acts key regulator regulating porcine adipocyte The expression was markedly up-regulated early stage differentiation, which followed PPARγ. Porcine significantly attenuated addition siRNA against KLF13, whereas...
