“…In the present study, we found that dietary the addition of CA significantly decreased the pH value and acid-binding capacity of diets; however, only the jejunum content’s pH value observed a significant decrease due to the addition of CA. Similar to our previous findings [ 14 ], the diets containing CA only significantly reduced the jejunal content’s pH value. Nourmohammadi et al [ 22 ] also reported that the addition of 3% CA only significantly reduced the jejunal content’s pH value, while no significant differences were found in the content pH value of other segments of the GIT.…”

“…As shown by the beta diversity, the dietary supplementation of 3.2% CA had a significant effect on cecum microbiota communities. This can be presumably explained by the reduced pH value in the gut, which is consistent with several findings on CA [ 6 , 10 , 14 ]. Clustering results showed that Firmicutes and Bacteroidota are the top two dominant bacterial phyla in geese ceca, which is consistent with the findings of Fang et al [ 43 ].…”

“…China is the largest producer and consumer of goose meat in the world, with 466 million geese used for meat production in 2022 [ 13 ]. Previous research by our team has demonstrated that the optimal level of CA in the gosling diets should be 1% [ 14 ]. Based on the above research, we further investigated the changes in feeding diets (pH value and acid-binding capacity) and blood hormone levels in growing geese with the increase in CA levels.…”

To investigate the efficiency and optimum inclusion level of CA in growing geese diets on performance, plasma constituents, and intestinal health, 240 healthy female geese at the age of 28d were randomly allotted six treatment diets incorporated with 0, 0.8, 1.6, 2.4, 3.2, and 4% CA. Each treatment group consisted of five replicates and eight birds per replicate. The findings demonstrated that 3.2% CA supplementation resulted in improved growth performance (ADG, ADFI, and FBW) (p = 0.001), and geese who received CA also showed lower body fat contents (p < 0.05) than the control group. Moreover, geese from the 2.4% and 3.2% CA group had the highest plasma glutathione peroxidase and insulin-like growth factor 1 levels compared to the other groups (p < 0.05). A microbial diversity analysis of the cecum conducted by 16S rDNA sequencing revealed that 3.2% CA supplementation showed a significantly higher abundance of beneficial bacteria (Muribaculaceae, CHKCI001, Erysipelotricha-ceae_UCG_003, and UCG_009) (p < 0.05) and a lower abundance of harmful bacteria (Atopobiaceae, Streptococcus, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, and Alistipes) (p < 0.10). Collectively, our results revealed that dietary supplementation with 3.2% CA had several benefits on the performance and physiological health of growing geese by promoting nutrients metabolism, improving antioxidant capacity, and modulating cecum microbiota.

“…Moreover, by use of Ni-RcUs, we might probably have depleted pathogenic bacteria during transplantation to the donor, as because Ni-RcUs composed of citric acid. Same researcher group of this study, publishing another study (Ctrl X, Ctrl C and Ctrl V in Veterinary Dermatology: Splendiferous Era of Dermatology Art by Skin Microbiota Transplantation among Dogs with Cutaneous Adverse Food Reactions; under revision at the time of writing this manuscript) in which denoted that Ni-RcUs with its citric acid content could a) decorate superficial layers of old fashioned skin components ( Ural et al, 2023 ), b) impede pseudomonas ceramidase ( Inoue et al, 2010 ), c) diminish local pH in a similar manner to intestinal tract, as defined previously ( Xue et al, 2023 ; Russel & Diez-Gonzalez, 1997) through declined colony of pathogens, via penetration to pathogenic cell wall consequently suppressed growth/reproduction ( Xue et al, 2023 ; Russel & Diez-Gonzalez, 1997) and d) probably increase number of beneficial bacteria. The latter finding must be briefly discussed for better understanding of the readers.…”

Manipulation of skin biogeography has been the subject of study by the present authors for a very long while. Previous description and report identified the benefical application of skin microbiota transplantation (SMT) by the same researcher group, whom described unenriched skin microbiota transplantation at clinical veterinary practice for the first time among dogs. This study to our knowledge again for the first time reported herein aimed to investigate Un-smt application for treatment of feline atopic skin syndrome (FASS). This novel treatment intervention was performed similarly to previous description and methodology by use of Nivea Refining Clear-Up Strips (Ni-RcUs) either in autologue or heterologue route. Clinical biomarker for detecting the efficacy of Un-smt via Ni-RcUs evolved epidermal corneometric analytes (i.e. epidermal hydration and pH), relevant clinical scores The Feline Dermatitis Extent and Severity Index (FeDESI) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS pruritus) and clinical observations performed weekly, at least. Both FeDESI and VAS pruritus scores were changed in relationship with smt. Pre-treament day 0 FeDESI scores (median ± SE) (72.5 ± 9.34), were significantly (p=0.001) higher than scores on day 10 (13.5 ± 2.55) switching the severity of the disease in all cases. Besides day 0 VAS pruritus scores were 6.0 ± 0.49 (median ± SE) (prior to treatment), whereas owner VAS pruritus score was decreased to 2.0 ± 0.34 (median ± SE) significantly (p=0.001). There were no side effects attributable to treatment applications. All cases were monitored for 6 months after completion of treatment in which no recurrence was observed. As a preliminary conclusion with selected number of cats with FASS, Un-smt with Ni-RcUs should be novel strategy for manuplating skin microbiome with treatment success.

“…CA might influence the development of bee glands through pathways such as fatty acid synthesis and amino acid metabolism, thereby accelerating glandular development and secretion [ 44 ]. Ultimately, this may enhance cellular proliferation and differentiation in the glands, improving the quality of royal jelly [ 50 , 51 ]. Studies indicate a correlation between normal bee gland development and royal jelly production [ 52 ].…”

The glands of bees are responsible for generating and secreting various biologically active substances that significantly impact bee physiological health and adaptability. This study aimed to investigate the effects of adding citric acid (CA) to bee feed on gland development and royal jelly quality. By formulating feed with varying proportions of CA, evaluation was undertaken of pollen feeding by honeybees under laboratory conditions, along with the impact of CA on the development of major glands, to determine suitable addition proportions. Further optimization of the CA proportion involved feeding colonies and evaluating royal jelly production and quality. The results indicated that feed containing 0.75% CA significantly extended the lifespan of bees and increased their pollen consumption. Gland development in bees showed a positive correlation with CA addition within the range of 0.25% to 0.75%, especially at 0.50% and 0.75%, which notably accelerated the development of mandibular, hypopharyngeal, and cephalic salivary glands, with active proliferation and differentiation of glandular cells and maintenance of normal gland size and morphology. CA added to feed stimulated vigorous secretion of wax glands in worker bees, resulting in prolific wax construction. Colonies consuming feed containing 0.50% CA produced royal jelly with significantly reduced moisture and total sugar content and increased levels of 10-HDA, total phenolic acids, total proteins, and acidity. These findings demonstrate that CA consumption significantly prolongs bee lifespan, increases consumption, promotes gland development, and enhances royal jelly quality. This research provides theoretical guidance for beekeeping practices and feed development, contributing to the sustainable advancement of apiculture.
