Abstract Oligochitosan (COS) is a type of prebiotic, which favourably alters the intestinal microflora balance, inhibits growth harmful bacteria, promotes good digestion and boosts immune function. The effect dietary COS supplementation on function in broilers was assessed by feeding graded levels (0, 50, 100, 150 mg kg −1 ) COS. Two thousand four hundred male commercial Avian ® (1 day old) were assigned randomly to five treatment groups (60 birds/pen with eight pens per treatment). Diet A...
Melatonin appears to be a promising supplement for obesity treatment. The antiobesity effects of melatonin on obese rodents are influenced by various factors, including the species, sex, dosage melatonin, treatment duration, administration via, daily time, and initial body weight (IBW). Therefore, we conducted meta-analysis machine learning study evaluate effect mice or rats from 31 publications. results showed that significantly reduced weight, serum glucose (GLU), triglycerides (TGs),...
Abstract This study was conducted to determine the effects of dietary probiotic supplementation on ileal digestibilities nutrients and growth performance in broilers. Two thousand, eight hundred eighty male broiler chickens at 1 day age were randomly allotted treatment groups fed for 6 weeks maize–soybean meal‐based diets containing 0, 0.2, 0.4 or 0.6% AgiPro A100® (a probiotic) 0 ppm flavomycin (an antibiotic). well‐established antibiotic used as a positive control efficacy A100®. Dietary...
Medium-chain fatty acid glycerides have been shown to provide energy for rapid oxidation in the body. The study was conducted investigate effects of dietary supplementation with medium-chain glyceride on growth performance and intestinal health weaned piglets fed a low-protein diet. Nighty healthy were randomly divided into five treatments: NP (Normal protein treatment, normal-protein diet no antibiotics included); NC (Negative control, PC (Positive +75 mg/kg quinocetone, 20 virginiamycin 50...
SUMMARY The present study was conducted to determine the effects of a polysaccharide Atractylodes macrophala Koidz (PAM) as dietary additive on growth performance, immunoglobulin concentration and IL-1β expression in weaned piglets. One hundred twenty Landrace×Yorkshire piglets at 28 days old (body weight 7·5±0·07 kg) were assigned five treatment groups (three pens/group, eight piglets/pen) fed maize/soybean-based diets supplemented with 0, 3, 6 or 9 g PAM/kg diet antibiotics (0·4...
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is a vital antioxidant enzyme that exerts antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects on the host. In this study, novel thermostable SOD of Alicyclobacillus sp. (AliSOD) from hot spring was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, enzymatic properties were identified. Mn2+ plays decisive role activity, indicating AliSOD MnSOD. Specifically, determined to be dimeric with subunit molecular mass 23.0 kDa, specific activity confirmed as high 24990.8 U·mg–1. demonstrated...
The proteomic and metabolomic differences in mice fed ε-polylysine were detected by high-throughput sequencing screening. effects of on the proteome metabolomics C57 BL/6 J studied. DIA liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) used to compare ε-polylysine-modified mouse metabolome. In this study, we analyzed regulatory ε-polysine glycerophospholipid metabolism, glutathione ABC transporters pathways. data LC-MS/MS raw samples are stored MetaboLights ProteomeXchange databases for...
Abstract BACKGROUND: Recently, rice protein concentrate (RPC), a much cheaper source of dietary protein, has become commercially available for use in the feed industry. Importantly, supplementation with RPC can increase intake by early‐weaned pigs. The objective this study was to determine whether replace milk diet RESULTS: Neither average daily gain (ADG), (ADFI), nor feed/gain ratio differed among treatment groups weeks 1 and 2. In week 3, addition 5 or 10% diets increased ( P < 0.05)...
This study was conducted to determine the effects of exogenous zinc-metallothionein (Zn-MT) on anti-oxidative function and pork quality.After feeding a corn-soybean meal-based diet for two weeks, 48 pigs (Duroc × Landrace Chinese Black Pig) were assigned randomly four groups.Pigs in Group 1 maintained under non-stress conditions, whereas Groups 2, 3 4 aggressively handled 25 min produce stress.Pigs 1, 3, received intramuscular administration saline (control group; CON), 0 (negative control...
Abstract The experiment was conducted to assess the effects of phytase supplementation diets with two levels phosphorus (P) on ileal and faecal digestibility nutrients phosphorus, calcium, nitrogen energy balances in growing pigs. Fifteen Landrace × Large White Chinese Black barrows, an initial live weight 22·2 kg fitted a simple T-cannula at distal ileum, were randomly allocated one five diet treatments, according cross-over design periods. basal typical southern Asia maize/rice...
Fat is one of the three macronutrients and a significant energy source for piglets. It plays positive role in maintaining intestinal health improving production performance. During weaning period, physiological, stress diet-related factors influence absorption fat piglets, leading to damage barrier, diarrhea even death. Signaling pathways, such as fatty acid translocase (CD36), pregnane X receptor (PXR), AMP-dependent protein kinase (AMPK), are responsible regulating uptake barrier function....
Intestinal microbiota plays an important role in the health of animals. However, little is known about gut Ningxiang pigs. Thus, we investigated how dietary supplementation with different ε-polylysine concentrations (0, 20, 40, 80, and 160 ppm) affected ileal pigs using a replicated 5 × Latin square method. Each experimental period included 10 days for diet adaptation, three feces collection two digesta collection. The contents were collected used sequencing V3–V4 hypervariable region 16S...

Given the antibacterial effects of ε-polylysine acting on cell membranes, and that glycerol phospholipids are important components membrane, we hypothesized may regulate glycerophospholipid metabolism by modifying gut microbiota. To test this hypothesis, treated post-weaning C57 mice with different levels (0, 300, 600, 1,200 ppm) in their basic diet. The growth performance morphology intestine were then determined. Modification microbiota function analyzed using 16S rDNA sequencing....
