“…However, there is limited information regarding the impact of CSB on the intestinal microbiota of broiler chickens. Our study observed a reduction in the diversity and richness of cecal microbiota following the addition of CSB, contrasting with the findings by Xiao et al (2023) , indicating the need for further experiments to validate these observations, possibly due to differences in breeds, feed types, or rearing practices. In addition, our study also revealed a significant increase at the phylum level of Bacteroidetes and its genus Bacteroides in the CSB group.…”

IntroductionThis study examined the impact of adding coated sodium butyrate (CSB) to the diet on the growth performance, serum biochemistry, antioxidant capacity, intestinal morphology, and cecal microbiota of yellow-feathered broiler chickens.MethodsIn this study, 240 yellow-feathered broiler chickens at 26 days old were divided into two groups: the control group (CON group) received a standard diet, and the experimental group (CSB group) received a diet with 0.5 g/kg of a supplement called CSB. Each group had 6 replicates, with 20 chickens in each replicate, and the experiment lasted for 36 days.ResultsCompared to the CON group, the CSB group showed a slight but insignificant increase in average daily weight gain during the 26–62 day period, while feed intake significantly decreased. The CSB group exhibited significant increases in serum superoxide dismutase, catalase, and total antioxidant capacity. Additionally, the CSB group had significant increases in total protein and albumin content, as well as a significant decrease in blood ammonia levels. Compared to the CON group, the CSB group had significantly increased small intestine villus height and significantly decreased jejunal crypt depth. The abundance of Bacteroidetes and Bacteroides in the cecal microbiota of the CSB group was significantly higher than that of the CON group, while the abundance of Proteobacteria, Deferribacteres, and Epsilonbacteraeota was significantly lower than that of the CON group.ConclusionThese results suggest that adding CSB to the diet can improve the growth performance and antioxidant capacity of yellow-feathered broiler chickens while maintaining intestinal health.

“…Moreover, considering maternal microbial transfer, the gut microbiota is signi cantly linked to the reproductive performance of the host. Studies indicate that during fetal development, compounds produced by the maternal microbiota are transferred to the fetus and offspring [25]. This transfer enhances the generation of fetal innate immune cells, thereby contributing to the reproductive performance of the host, with Escherichia coli playing a signi cant role in this process.…”

“…This transfer enhances the generation of fetal innate immune cells, thereby contributing to the reproductive performance of the host, with Escherichia coli playing a signi cant role in this process. Hence, the genuslevel microbial community plays a pivotal role in the host reproductive process [25,26]. Consequently, we analyzed the variations in the genus-level gut microbiota of Yorkshire pigs during late pregnancy under different feeding regimens.…”

Background Feeding mode is an important factor affecting the reproductive performance of pigs. The composition and expression of the intestinal microbiota are closely related to the physiological and biochemical indicators of animals. Therefore, to investigate the effects of different feeding modes on the intestinal microbial community structure and reproductive performance of pigs, reproductive performance data were collected from 1607 Yorkshire pigs raised under different feeding modes for fixed-effect variance analysis. Among them, 731 were in the artificial feeding (AM) group, and 876 were in the feeding station feeding (SM) group. Additionally, 40 Yorkshire sows in the late gestation period were randomly selected from each feeding mode for intestinal microbiota analysis. Results The results of the analysis showed that, in the AM group, both the number of born deformity(NBD)and number of stillborn(NSB)were significantly greater than they were in the SM group (P < 0.05). Additionally, the TNB in the AM group was significantly lower than that in the SM group (P < 0.05). The results of the intestinal microbiota analysis revealed that at the phylum level, there were significant differences in 9 bacterial taxa between the AM and SM groups (P < 0.05). At the genus level, the abundance of a variety of beneficial bacteria related to reproductive performance in the SM group was significantly greater than that in the AM group. Differential pathway enrichment analysis revealed that the expression of the Cellular (P < 0.01) community-prokaryote pathway was significantly lower in the AM group than in the SM group (P < 0.05). However, the expression of the pathways glycan biosynthesis and metabolism, infectious diseases: viral, cardiovascular diseases, cancers: specific types, neurodegenerative diseases and metabolism of other amino acids was significantly greater in the AM group than in the SM group (P < 0.05). Conclusion These results indicate that different feeding modes can have an impact on the intestinal microbial composition of Yorkshire pigs and further affect the reproductive performance of pigs through the pathway of the intestinal microbiota. The results of this study provide valuable insights for further exploring the relationships between feeding modes, intestinal microbial composition, and host phenotypes.

“…In the body’s immune defense function, intestinal microorganisms can strengthen the gut mucosal barrier and modulate the general immunity of the host to effectively suppress the threat of pathogenic microorganisms [ 105 , 106 ]. There is increasing evidence that the intestinal microbiota might affect poultry production [ 107 , 108 ]. The Firmicutes and the Bacteroidetes are considered to be the most significant phyla in the cecal microflora of the chickens.…”

Terminalia chebula extract (TCE) has many physiological functions and is potentially helpful in maintaining poultry health, but its specific effect on the growth of broilers is not yet known. This research investigated the effects of dietary Terminalia chebula extract (TCE) supplementation on growth performance, immune function, antioxidant capacity, and intestinal health in yellow-feathered broilers. A total of 288 one-day-old yellow-feathered broilers were divided into four treatment groups (72 broilers/group), each with six replicates of 12 broilers. The broilers were given a basal diet of corn–soybean meal supplemented with 0 (control), 200, 400, and 600 mg/kg TCE for 56 d. The results demonstrated that, compared with the basal diet, the addition of TCE significantly increased (linear and quadratic, p < 0.05) the final body weight and overall weight gain and performance and decreased (linear and quadratic, p < 0.05) the feed-to-gain ratio in the overall period. Dietary TCE increased (linear, p < 0.05) the levels of IgM, IL-4, and IL-10 and decreased (linear and quadratic, p < 0.05) the level of IL-6 in the serum. Dietary TCE increased (linear and quadratic, p < 0.05) the levels of IL-2 and IL-4, decreased (linear and quadratic, p < 0.05) the level of IL-1β, and decreased (linear, p < 0.05) the level of IL-6 in the liver. Dietary TCE increased (linear and quadratic, p < 0.05) the level of IgM and IL-10, increased (linear, p < 0.05) the level of IgG, and decreased (linear and quadratic, p < 0.05) the levels of IL-1β and IL-6 in the spleen. Supplementation with TCE linearly and quadratically increased (p < 0.05) the catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and total antioxidant capacity activities while decreasing (p < 0.05) the malonic dialdehyde concentrations in the serum, liver, and spleen. TCE-containing diets for broilers resulted in a higher (linear and quadratic, p < 0.05) villus height, a higher (linear and quadratic, p < 0.05) ratio of villus height to crypt depth, and a lower (linear and quadratic, p < 0.05) crypt depth compared with the basal diet. TCE significantly increased (linear, p < 0.05) the acetic and butyric acid concentrations and decreased (quadratic, p < 0.05) the isovaleric acid concentration. Bacteroidaceae and Bacteroides, which regulate the richness and diversity of microorganisms, were more abundant and contained when TCE was added to the diet. In conclusion, these findings demonstrate that supplementing broilers with TCE could boost their immune function, antioxidant capacity, and gut health, improving their growth performance; they could also provide a reference for future research on TCE.
