Flaxseed meal (FSM) is a byproduct of flaxseed oil extraction which has rich nutritional value and can be used as high-quality new protein ingredient. However, the anti-nutrient factor (ANF) in FSM restricts its potential application feed. The strategy microbial fermentation highly effective approach to reducing ANF enhancing feeding value. evaluation fermented (FFSM) growing pigs not yet been conducted. Thus, purpose this study was investigate FFSM comparison effect treatment on improving...
Maintaining the normal biological rhythms of livestock is great significance for reflecting environmental suitability and welfare level animals. Mistimed feeding can interfere with circadian both humans animals, resulting in disorders lipid metabolism, obesity, metabolic syndrome. Low-temperature environment stimulates increased appetite decreased physical activity, higher energy intake than consumption thus facilitating fat deposition even obesity. In this study, growing rabbits were...
Seasonal environmental shifts and improper eating habits are the important causes of diarrhea in children growing animals. Whether adjusting feeding time at varying temperatures can modify cecal bacterial structure improve remains unknown. Three batches rabbits with two groups per batch were raised under different regimens (fed daytime vs. nighttime) spring, summer winter separately, contents collected six points 1 day used 16S rRNA sequencing to investigate effects season on composition...
Accumulating evidence indicates that cold exposure changes the composition of gut microbiota and reduces intestinal immunity in early postweaning livestock. However, little is known about effects drinking warm water (WW) on during winter. In this study, we investigated WW winter growth performance structure rabbits raised poorly insulated housing from period (day 46) to subadult 82). The average daily gain feed conversion ratio were significantly improved compared those (CW) 47-58 days....
The effect of different cross-fostering strategies on the growth performance, stress and immunity piglets was investigated in this study. In first experiment, a total 20 litters (i.e., sows) 120 were classified into one six treatments 2 × 3 factorial arrangement. consisted without or with birth weights (low weight, LBW; intermediate IBW; high HBW). weaning weight (WW) average daily gain (ADG) LBW IBW not significantly between cross-fostered (NC-F) group (C-F) group. There higher (p <...
The circadian misalignment of the gut microbiota caused by unusual eating times in adult animals is related to disease development. However, whether composition and diurnal rhythm can be optimized synchronizing window period with natural habits reduce risk diarrhea remains unclear, especially growing animals. In this study, 108 5-week-old weaned rabbits (nocturnal animals) were randomly subjected daytime feeding (DF) night-restricted (NRF). At age 12 weeks, six selected from each group,...
An unfavorable lifestyle disrupts the circadian rhythm, leading to metabolic dysfunction in adult humans and animals. Increasing evidence suggests that night-restricted feeding (NRF) can effectively prevent ectopic fat deposition caused by rhythm disruption, reduce risk of diseases. However, previous studies have mainly focused on prevention obesity adults regulating dietary patterns, whereas limited attention has been paid effect NRF metabolism during growth development. Here, we used...
The research aimed to investigate the suitable drinking water temperature in winter and its effect on growth performance, antioxidant capacity, rumen fermentation function of beef cattle. A total 40 cattle (640 ± 19.2 kg) were randomly divided into five treatments with eight each treatment raised one pen according initial body weight. Each differed only water, including room-temperature four different heat groups named RTW, HW_1, HW_2, HW_3, HW_4. measured temperatures 4.39 2.546 °C, 10.6...
Abstract Circadian rhythm disruptions and heat stress can cause gut microbiota dysbiosis intestinal barrier damage, increasing the risk of inflammatory bowel disease. However, whether eating according to circadian during day when ambient temperature is higher or against at night relatively suitable, better for health diurnal animals in summer has not been clarified. In this study, growing pigs were randomly assigned a daytime‐restricted feeding nighttime‐restricted (NRF) group raised 18 days...
The misalignment of eating time and the endogenous circadian rhythm impairs body's ability to maintain homeostasis. Although it is well established that children growing animals differ from adults in their energy metabolism behavioral patterns, little known about how mistimed feeding disturbs diurnal rhythms behavior animals. In this study, pigs (diurnal animal) were randomly assigned daytime-restricted (DRF) nighttime-restricted (NRF) groups for 5 weeks. Compared with observations DRF...
The ingestion of cold water in winter results fluctuating decreases rumen temperature, impacting fermentation function and methane production. This study aimed to investigate the impact calcium propionate (CaP) on characteristics, production, microbial microbiome under different vitro incubation temperatures. A 2 × factorial experiment was conducted over 72 h, with or without 2.5% CaP (dry matter [DM] basis) substrate a constant temperature (39 °C, CIT) shifting temperatures (12 cycles...
Mammals exhibit circadian rhythms in their behavior and physiological activities to adapt the diurnal changes of environment. Improper feeding methods can disrupt natural habits animals harm animal health. This study investigated effects amount time on growing rabbits northern China during spring. A total 432 healthy 35-day-old weaned with similar body weight were randomly assigned four groups: whole day diet-unrestricted (WUF), diet-restricted (WRF), nighttime (NUF), (NRF). The results...
This study explored the effects of drinking heated water in cold seasons on serum metabolism, rumen microbial fermentation, and metabolome beef cattle. Twelve fattening cattle (642 ± 14.6 kg) aged 21 to 22 months were randomly equally divided into two groups based body weight: one receiving room-temperature (RTW; average 4.39 2.55 °C) other (HW; 26.3 1.70 °C). The HW group displayed a significant decrease glucose (p < 0.01) non-esterified fatty acid 0.01), but increases insulin = 0.04)...
Background Although exercise has beneficial effects on metabolic syndrome (Mets), the of training endothelial function and irisin level in elderly with MetS remain controversial. The aim this study is to evaluate influence serum MetS. Methods Volunteers were recruited (n = 30). After 8 consecutive weeks training, flow-mediated dilation (FMD), colony-forming units (CFU) progenitor cell (EPC), determined. Body mass index (BMI), Homeostasis Model Assessment Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR),...
This study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary tannic acid (TAN) on gas production, growth performance, antioxidant capacity, rumen microflora, and fermentation function beef cattle through in vitro vivo experiments. TAN was evaluated at 0.15% (dry matter basis, DM) experiment 0.20% (DM basis) animal feeding experiment. The results revealed that compared with control (CON, basal diet without TAN), addition significantly increased cumulative production asymptotic per 0.20 g dry substrate (
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects electromagnetic pulse (EMP) on bone formation MC3T3-E1 cells. Proliferation, ALP activity and mineralized nodule were examined in cells after EMP exposure (field intensities: 0 kV/m, 50 400 pulses once a day for 7 days). After kV/m exposure, all parameters not changed significantly. However, proliferation, groups decreased. In conclusion, we used possibly harmful factor formation. It may suppress with higher electric field intensity.
Correlations between chemical composition, enzymatic hydrolysate gross energy (EHGE), and true metabolizable (TME) of corn for ducks were investigated. Twenty-two samples collected from various regions in 11 provinces China.
