Perennial ryegrass improves bone quality in geese: insights from the gut-bone axis.

ABSTRACT: Bone disorders are marked by leg deformities, and disruption in the gut microbiota have been associated with degradation of bone structure, which increases the susceptibility of fractures. Perennial ryegrass has antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties to improve bone health by regulating the gut microbiota. In this study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory potential of perennial ryegrass to modulate the inflammatory bone loss in meat geese through regulating gut microbiota. Perennial ryegrass (GD) significantly reduced (p < 0.05) the inflammatory response (IL-1β and TNF-α) by improving the gut barrier function. Perennial ryegrass (GD) improved tibia bone mineral density (BMD), ash% and tibia bone mineral contents (p < 0.05). Results of gut microbiota and micro-comput
