Project description:The aim of this study was to explore whether, and if so, how Bacillus subtilis KC1 can enhance the growth performance of broilers that have been adversely affected by Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) infection. A total of 96 1-day-old male broilers were randomly divided into 4 groups: the control group (basal diet), the MG group (basal diet + MG challenge), the Bacillus subtilis KC1 group (basal diet + Bacillus subtilis KC1 supplementation), the Bacillus subtilis KC1 + MG group (basal diet + Bacillus subtilis KC1 supplementation + MG challenge). The trial lasted 42 days, and the results showed that the MG group had significantly reduced body weight and average daily gain, as well as increased feed conversion ratio of broilers, compared to the control group. Dietary supplementation with Bacillus subtilis KC1 significantly improved the growth performance of MG-infected broilers. In addition, dietary supplementation with Bacillus subtilis KC1 significantly improved oxidative stress and inflammatory response markers, characterized by increased superoxide dismutase levels and reduced levels of malondialdehyde, interleukin-1β, and tumor necrosis factor-α. Furthermore, both metabolomics and transcriptomics analyses indicated that MG infection markedly disrupted amino acid metabolism in broilers, whereas Bacillus subtilis KC1 supplementation alleviated the abnormal amino acid metabolism caused by MG infection. These results suggested that Bacillus subtilis KC1 may alleviate the poor growth performance caused by MG infection in broilers by improving amino acid metabolism.

Project description:Abdominal fat (AF) and intramuscular fat (IMF) are key carcass traits in broilers but managing both is challenging due to their contrasting effects. Arginine (Arg) supplementation has potential effect in lipid metabolism, however its tissue specific effect remains poorly understood. The objective of this study was to investigate the tissue specific effect of Arg supplementation on growth performance and fat metabolism in both liver and pectoral muscle in broilers. A total of 480 Arbor Acre chicks were randomly assigned to four groups: Control (0 g/kg), Arg (1.8 g/kg), 5X Arg (9 g/kg) and 10X Arg (18g/kg), with 12 replicates of 10 birds each. Overall, high Arg supplementation (5X, 10X) significantly impaired growth performance, reducing average daily gain and feed intake, accompanied by elevated serum AST and IFN-γ levels (p<0.05). Liver transcriptomics analysis revealed that 10X Arg significantly enriched PPAR signaling pathway, promoting fatty acid oxidation while suppressing lipogenic genes. Conversely, in pectoral muscle, high Arg (10X) promoted intramuscular fat deposition which was associated with downregulation of PPAR-α (p<0.05) and increased expression of key lipogenic genes involved in de novo lipogenesis (SREBP-1c, FAS, ACC and SCD). Moreover, Arg supplementation modulated drug metabolism genes in liver, including EPX and RRM2, suggesting potential impacts on detoxification pathways. These findings underscore the importance of precise Arg dosing to optimize broiler growth, immune function, and carcass quality by targeting its tissue specific metabolic effect.

Project description:Analysis of the blood proteome allows identification of proteins related to changes upon certain physiological conditions. The pathophysiology of necrotic enteritis (NE) has been extensively studied. While intestinal changes have been very well documented, data addressing NE-induced alterations in the blood proteome are scant, although these might have merit in diagnostics. Considering recent technological advancements in proteomics and pressing need for tools to access gut health, the current study employs mass-spectrometry (MS) proteomics to identify biomarkers for gastrointestinal health of broilers chickens. Untargeted proteomics investigation was conducted on chicken blood plasma in animals under NE challenge. Two MS-strategies were used for analysis: DDA (Data Dependent Acquisition) and DIA (Data Independent Acquisition). DIA showed superior completeness and quantification of the acquired data, despite high degree of agreement in identification and quantification between both approaches. Identified differentially expressed proteins shared by DDA and DIA represent responses of animals to infection and may serve as potential biomarkers. Experimental validation through ELISA immunoassays for selected regulated proteins confirmed medium-to-high levels of inter-protein correlation, along with positive correlation between the methods. Functional analysis showed enhanced defense, immune, and acute phase responses, alongside reduced signaling, regulatory, and cell adhesion activities in infected animals.

Project description:The objectives of this study were to determine the protective effects of organic acids (OA) in broilers exposed to Salmonella Pullorum challenge at early stage and to explore the potential benefits of OA by metabolomics analysis. The treatment groups included non-challenged, S. Pullorum-challenged, challenged group supplemented with virginiamycin, challenged group supplemented with OA in drinking water, challenged group supplemented with OA in feed, and challenged group supplemented with OA in combination in drinking water and feed. Results showed that early Salmonella challenge induced an acute systemic infection of broilers in the starter phase, followed by the grower phase without triggering clinical signs. OA supplementation promoted growth during the grower phase, and while OA in water contributed more, the positive effects of OA in combination were comparable to those of virginiamycin supplementation in challenged birds. Furthermore, OA could modulate the systemic metabolic perturbation caused by challenge as it alleviated stress responses mediated by steroid hormone, potentially attenuated antioxidant or immune defense, and modified intestinal microbiota metabolism. These results show a metabolic mechanism that may partly explain the potential benefits of OA in Salmonella challenged birds, and may contribute to the use of OA to control or reduce S. Pullorum infection in farm animals.

Project description:The intestinal microbiome forms dynamic ecosystem whose balanced composition and functioning are essential for maintaining overall gut health and well-being in living organisms. In broilers, dysbiosis disrupts the microbiota-host balance, often without obvious clinical symptoms but with intestinal inflammation, leading to impaired animal performance and significant economic losses. This study utilizes an in vivo model of dysbiosis to investigate the blood proteome response of broilers to intestinal imbalance. Microscopic histological changes in the gut (shorter villi, increased crypt depth, p<0.0001) were observed in the duodenal and jejunal tissue of challenged birds. Elevated levels of permeability markers faecal ovotransferrin (p < 0.0001) and serum iohexol (p= 0.0009) additionally indicated increased intestinal permeability in challenged group compared to control. The MS/MS-based proteomics analysis was performed on broilers’ blood plasma enabling identification of 388 proteins, 25 of which demonstrated significant difference between the groups. Functional analysis showed activation of immune response, signalling, and interspecies interaction, while proteins related to cellular physiology, cell-cell communication, and extracellular matrix (ECM) processes were suppressed. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis revealed two clusters of downregulated proteins involved in ECM organization and cell adhesion. These results suggest that the dysbiosis challenge alters plasma protein expression as the host prioritizes immune defense over structural maintenance. The activation of immune processes and suppression of ECM pathways highlight potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for addressing dysbiosis.
