Essential oils (EO) are promising feed additives for their antibacterial, antioxidant, and immune-enhancing abilities with low toxicity. Carvacrol, thymol, cinnamaldehyde commonly used to synthesize EO. However, few studies focus on combining these three EO in early-weaned piglets. In the present study, 24 piglets weaned at 21 d of age were randomly divided into 2 groups (6 replicate pens per group, pen). The fed a basal diet (the control group) supplemented 400 mg/kg (a blend consisting...

Coronary Artery Calcification (CAC) is a major risk factor for various cardiovascular diseases. Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) significant in atherosclerotic diseases and usually elevated patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). However, the association between LDL-C levels incident CAC asymptomatic T2DM remains unclear. This study single-center retrospective cohort conducted from January 2018 to December 2023, including 2,631 who underwent regular health screenings. All...

Maternal gut microflora changes dramatically during perinatal period and plays a vital role in animal health reproductive performance. However, little is known about the microbial differences between sows with different productive capacities period. Hence, this study explored fecal diversity, composition, metabolic functions, phenotypes high capacity (HPC, litter size ≥ 15) low (LPC, ≤ 7) late pregnancy (LP, third day before due date) early stage after parturition (EAP, parturition) as well...

Lysozyme has been studied as a potential alternative to antibiotics for animals in recent years. The aim of this study was evaluate the effect dietary lysozyme on growth performance, serum biochemical parameters, immune response and gut health growing pigs.A total 216 pigs (19.81 ± 0.47 kg) were fed diets supplemented with colistin sulfate at 20 mg kg-1 (control), or 50 (L50) 100 (L100) diet 30 days. results showed that L100 control had greater average daily gain gain-to-feed ratio than L50...

Ethanolamine (Etn) contained in milk is the base constituent of phosphatidylethanolamine and required for proliferation intestinal epithelial cells bacteria, which important maintenance gut microbiome development. The present study investigated effect Etn on function using 21-d-old Sprague-Dawley rats treated with 0, 250, 500 1000 μm drinking water 2 weeks immediately after weaning. Growth performance, morphology, antioxidant capacity mucosal immunity, as well microbiota community...

Abstract Folate is increasingly thought to promote gastrointestinal health and regulate the diversity of gut microbiota alleviate weaning stress in piglets. The present study was conducted investigate effects folate on organ weight, digesta pH, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) concentration, intestinal weaned A total 28 piglets (6.73 ± 0.62 kg) were allocated four dietary treatments consisting a control group, 3, 9, 18 mg/kg supplementation 14-d feeding trial. results showed that fed with 9...

The aim of current study was to determine variations in sow's gut microbiota, serum immunity, and milk metabolite profile mediated by lysozyme supplementation. Twenty-four pregnant sows were assigned a control group without supplementation two treatments with 0.5 kg/t 1.0 provided formula feed for 21 days (n = 8 per treatment). Microbiota analysis metagenomic predictions based on 16s RNA high-throughput sequencing. Milk metabolome assessed untargeted liquid chromatography tandem mass...

Zearalenone (ZEN), a non-steroidal estrogenic mycotoxin produced by Fusarium graminearum species, poses significant threat to both human food safety and animal feed quality. In this study, we isolated strain, designated as Bacillus licheniformis YJ25, from contaminated moldy corn sample, demonstrating substantial effectiveness in removing ZEN. Our findings revealed that YJ25’s ZEN removal occurs primarily through cell wall adsorption, with enzymatic degradation representing potential...

Abstract Magnetic resonance arthrography, a procedure where contrast agents containing gadolinium are administered intra‐articularly, has become useful tool in musculoskeletal diagnosis. Although considered safe for systemic use, toxicities some tissues have been identified both free ion and the chelates used as contrast. In this study, effects of short‐term exposure articular chondrocytes to were examined by assaying proteoglycan synthesis, cell proliferation, apoptosis. Bovine grown...

Beta-glucan has been shown to have a beneficial effect on gastrointestinal health. This experiment was conducted investigate the effects of β-glucan isolated from Agrobacterium sp. ZX09 growth performance and intestinal health weaning pigs. A total 108 weaned pigs (21 d age; 6.05 ± 0.36 kg) were randomly divided into 3 groups (6 pens/group; 6 pigs/pen), each treated with following diets: 1) basal diet, 2) diet supplemented 20 mg/kg olaquindox, 3) 200 β-glucan, for 21 d.

1 alpha, 25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1 25-(OH)2D3], the hormonal form of vitamin D3, is further metabolized in kidney and intestine through carbon 24 (C-24) oxidation pathway initiated by C-24 hydroxylation, 23 (C-23) C-23 hydroxylation. The leading to formation calcitroic acid has been previously reported be present bone cells, but 25-(OH)2D3-26,23-lactone not described even though noted have a significant effect on formation. Therefore, study, we investigated production normal human...

The c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) are members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase family. Their functions in regulating animal development have been well studied both invertebrates and vertebrates. However, it remains to be determined whether they play a role sex determination. Here we present first evidence show that expression JNK1 displays distinct patterns during reversal rice-field eel. Molecular cloning reveals is conserved among eel other Both quantitative real-time polymerase...
