Abstract Temperature, which is an important environmental factor in broiler farming, can significantly influence the deposition of fatty acids muscle. 300 one-day-old chicks were randomly divided into three groups and reared at high, medium low temperatures (HJ, MJ LJ), respectively. Breast muscle jejunal chyme samples collected subjected to analyses acid composition 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Through spearman’s rank correlation coefficient, data used characterize between microbial diversity...

To improve the reproductive performance of sows and iron nutrition newborn piglets, we studied effects dietary on in pregnant as well antioxidant capacity visceral content piglets. Forty were divided into four groups, deficiency group (Id group) was fed a basic diet while treatment groups diets supplemented with 200 mg/kg lactoferrin (LF group), 0.8% heme-iron (Heme-Fe or 500 iron-glycine complex (Fe-Gly group). The results indicated that (1) different sources had no significant effect...

Iron is an important trace element that affects the growth and development of animals regulates oxygen transport, hematopoiesis, hypoxia adaptations. Wujin pig has unique hypoxic adaptability iron homeostasis; however, specific regulatory mechanisms have rarely been reported. This study randomly divided 18 healthy piglets into three groups: control group, supplemented with 100 mg/kg (as glycinate); low-iron no supplementation; high-iron 200 glycinate). The pre-feeding period was 5 days,...

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) is a natural spice plant with an aromatic flavor and antioxidant properties that can help enhance the texture of food, as well be used source in pet feed. This study explored effect rosemary on growth performance capacity broiler chickens. In total, 144 healthy 1-day-old Arbor Acres broilers were randomly divided into four groups: The control group was fed basic diet, while positive diet supplemented 30 mg/kg kitasamycin, treatment groups supplemental...

Abstract Short-term or acute temperature stress affect the immune responses and alters gut microbiota of broilers, but influences long-term on biomarkers intestinal remains largely unknown. Therefore, we examined effect three ambient temperatures (high (HC), medium (MC), low (LC) groups) gene expression broilers’ heat shock proteins (Hsps) inflammation – related genes, as well caecal microbial composition. The results revealed that Hsp70 Hsp90 levels in HC group significantly increased,...

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are emerging environmental contaminants that threaten human and animal health. Intestinal microbiota may be an important ARGs repository, intensive farming is a likely contributor to the burden of ARGs. Using metagenomic sequencing, we investigated structure, function, drug jejunal microbial community in Landrace (LA, Kunming), Saba (SB, Dahe (DH, Qujing), Diannan small-ear piglets (DS, Xishuangbanna) from different areas Yunnan Province, China. Remarkable...

Iron levels are closely related to animals' growth performance and anti-oxidant function. Lactoferrin (LF) is an iron-binding glycoprotein, which can promote the absorption of iron regulate immune This study aimed clarify effect maternal LF supplementation on metabolism Dahe piglets. Sixty sows (Dahe black, parity 3-4, no significant differences in body weight) were randomly assigned five groups: control (basal diet with supplementation), supplemented 100 (LF1 group), 200 (LF2 or 300 (LF3...

An 8‐wk feeding trial was conducted to compare the effect of dietary pH on utilization crystalline amino acid (CAA, 0.2% dl ‐methionine and 0.4% l ‐lysine·HCl) by juvenile common carp, Cyprinus carpio . A basal diet (diet C) with protein derived mostly from fish meal soybean supplemented CAA without adjustment CAA, 6.2) adjusted 7.0 8.0 (diets 7.0, 8.0, respectively). Supplementation regardless adjustment, significantly increased feed intake weight gain, latter higher in fed diets or...

Abstract The balanced microbiological system is a significant hallmark of piglet health. One the crucial factors affecting intestinal microbiota host’s genetics. This study explored difference in diversity jejunal between Saba (SB) and Landrace (LA) piglets. Nine nine piglets were fed with sow’s milk until day 35. Jejunal contents harvested for 16S rRNA sequencing. birth weight, body average daily gain lower than those ( p < 0.01). Firmicutes main phylum piglets, had higher 0.05)...

Hematopoiesis is a complex physiological process that ensures renewal of blood cells to maintain normal circulation and immune function. Wujin pigs exhibit distinct characteristics such as tender meat, high fat storage, strong resistance roughage, robust disease resistance, oxidation resistance. Therefore, using models may offer valuable insights for hematopoietic-related studies. In this study, twelve healthy 35-day-old piglets, including six Duroc piglets similar weight, were selected from...
