Composition of the ileum microbiota is a mediator between the host genome and phosphorus utilization and other efficiency traits in Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica)

Abstract: Background Phosphorus is an essential nutrient in all living organisms and, currently, it is the focus of much attention due to its global scarcity, the environmental impact of phosphorus from excreta, and its low digestibility due to its storage in the form of phytates in plants. In poultry, phosphorus utilization is influenced by composition of the ileum microbiota and host genetics. In our study, we analyzed the impact of host genetics on composition of the ileum microbiota and the relations… Show more

“…There is a consensus that a relationship exists between the microbes and their host. Although some studies have been performed in humans and livestock species, e.g., quails and hens [ 2 , 3 ], the impact of inter-individual variability on how diet modulates gut microbiota composition remains underinvestigated [ 4 , 5 ].…”

“…In this context, the ‘hologenome’ concept [ 12 ], which describes the joint action of host genome and microbiome on a phenotype, is becoming increasingly popular in the literature. Since the pioneering work of Ross et al [ 13 ], in which human health-related traits and methane production of a cow were predicted using microbiota information, numerous studies have used the composition of gut microbial ecosystems to elucidate its contribution to different complex animal traits, such as methane emission in cattle [ 13 15 ], carcass traits in pigs [ 16 , 17 ], and feed efficiency in several farm animals [ 18 22 ], among others. The relevance of gut microbiota composition in the mammalian immune system has received special attention in the past years [ 10 , 23 ].…”

“…Using the holobiont, i.e., genotype and microbiome data, to better understand and predict complex traits is still largely unexplored. Some studies have integrated genotype and microbiota composition data in the same model to explore their contributions to complex traits [ 18 , 34 36 ], while genetic and microbial parameters were independently analysed in other studies [ 15 , 21 , 22 , 37 ].…”
