Effect of stocking density and age on physiological performance and dynamic gut bacterial and fungal communities in Langya hens

Abstract: Background The characterization of colonization and dynamic changes related to gut microorganisms might be vital, as it presents an opportunity to quantify the co-variation between stocking densities and gut microbiome of dynamic distribution. The objective of this study was to determine the stocking density on physiological performance and dynamic distribution of gut microbiome (including bacterial and fungal communities) of Langya laying hens in the two development stages. … Show more

“…Less is known about the functions of f__Peptostreptococcaceae, the abundance of which is known to be increased in patients with colon cancer [ 65 , 66 ]. The genus Terrisporobacter is a close relative of Clostridium and is mainly associated with inflammatory bloodstream infections; g__Hungatella is also considered a pathogen and has been identified in patients with bacteremia and liver abscess [ 67 , 68 ]; g__Jeotgalicoccus belongs to the Staphylococcaceae family and is closely associated with enteritis; and Staphylococcus is a recognized causative agent of diarrhea, and its abundance is significantly increased in patients with digestive disorders [ 69 ]. In contrast, g__Coriobacteriaceae_UCG-002, found to be differentially dominant in the butyrate group in our study, can increase bile acid absorption, thereby influencing steroid and bile salt metabolism and reducing fecal steroid excretion [ 70 ].…”

“…Moreover, the functional coverage of Terrisporobacter is controversial. Sometimes, it is considered as pathogenic bacteria ( 27 ) that is linked to a polymicrobial infection in clinical cases ( 28 ). However, the genus Terrisporobacter is also closely related to SCFA contents and oxidative indicators ( 29 ) and plays a key role in degrading organic matter ( 28 ).…”

The Succinivibrio was also enriched in E2, which is regarded as a double-edged sword, not only involved in the accumulation of anti-inflammatory cytokines and viral inhibitors but also induced the inflammatory responses in the gut ( 30 ).…”

“…At lower stocking densities, chickens do not pick up enough bacteria at the beginning of the fattening period to become infected and start the infection dynamics. It is known that the stocking density in broiler chickens affects the composition of the microbiota [ 71 , 72 ] and colonization of the gastrointestinal tract [ 73 ], possibly due to the fact that the stocking density also has an effect on litter moisture [ 74 , 75 ] and, thus, on the survival rate of E. coli . Furthermore, the stocking density has an effect on animal welfare, behavior and locomotion [ 76 , 77 ], possibly including pecking and ingestion of potentially contaminated litter material.…”
