Effect of live yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae supplementation on immune factors in Japanese Black calves during the growth periods.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to investigate changes in expression levels of immune factors of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) after oral supplementation of live yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to healthy Japanese Black (JB) calves. This study examined JB calves (N=28): 14 calves (SC Group) received 10 g/calf/day of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC) (Acti-Saf Sc 47), and the other calves did not receive supplement (Control Group). Blood samples were collected 9 times during experimental period (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 months of age), and analyzed for cytokines and chemokines mRNA expression of PBMC using Real-time PCR. The level of beta Hydroxybutanoic acid (BHB) in the SC Group was significantly high at 7 and 8 months of age compared to that in the Control Group. Lymphocyte counts in the SC Group were significantly higher at 2 and 5 to 6 months of age compared to the Control Group. Significant differences were found for IL-12p40 level at 4, 7 and 9 months of age, and for IFN-γ level at 6, 7 and 8 months of age. The level of CXCR3 was significantly higher at 6 to 7 months of age by dietary SC supplementation. These results indicated that SC supplementation improved the cellular immune responses of JB calves.

Project description:One mechanism through which S. cerevisiae may improve the performance of pigs is by altering the composition of the gut microbiota, a response that may be enhanced by early postnatal supplementation of probiotics. To test this hypothesis, newborn piglets (16 piglets/group) were treated with either S. cerevisiae yeast (5 x 109 cfu/pig: Low) or (2.5 x 1010 cfu/piglet: High) or equivalent volume of sterile water (Control) by oral gavage every other day starting from day 1 of age until weaning (28±1 days of age). Piglet body weight was recorded on days 1, 3, 7, 10, 17, 24 and 28 and average daily gain (ADG) calculated for the total period. At weaning, piglets were euthanized to collect cecum content for microbial profiling by sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene. ADG was higher in both Low and High yeast groups than in Control group (P<0.05). Alpha diversity analyses indicated a more diverse microbiota in the Control group compared with Low yeast group; the High yeast being intermediate (P < 0.01). Similarly, Beta diversity analyses indicated differences among treatments (P = 0.03), mainly between Low yeast and Control groups (P = 0.02). The sparse Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (sPLS-DA) indicated that Control group was discriminated by a higher abundance of Veillonella, Dorea, Oscillospira and Clostridium; Low yeast treated pigs by higher Blautia, Collinsella and Eubacterium; and High yeast treated pigs by higher Eubacterium, Anaerostipes, Parabacteroides, Mogibacterium and Phascolarctobacterium. Partial Least Squares (PLS) analysis showed that piglet ADG was positively correlated with genus Prevotella in High yeast group. Yeast supplementation significantly affected microbial diversity in cecal contents of suckling piglets associated with an improvement of short chain fatty acid producing bacteria in a dose-dependent manner. In conclusion, yeast treatment improved piglet performance and shaped the piglet cecum microbiota composition in a dose dependent way.
