Effects of dietary Clostridium butyricum addition to sows in late gestation and lactation on reproductive performance and intestinal microbiota1

Abstract: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of Clostridium butyricum addition to diets in late gestation and lactation on the reproductive performance and gut microbiota for sows. A total of 180 healthy Landrace × Yorkshire sows at 90 d of gestation were randomly assigned to one of four groups, with 45 replicates per group, receiving a basal commercial diet (Control, 0% C. butyricum) or diet added with 0.1% C. butyricum (1 × 108 CFU/kg of feed), 0.2% C. butyricum (2 × 108 CFU/kg of feed), 0.4% C. butyr… Show more

“…Moreover, these diets improve the intestinal barrier function and digestive enzyme activity in broilers infected with ETEC K88 [9]. According to previous studies, CB promotes the expression of NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) in mice and alleviates oxidative stress [10][11][12]. Therefore, the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immuneenhancing effects of this probiotic may be related to the Kelch-like ECH-associated protein-1-(Keap1-) Nrf2/antioxidant response element (ARE) signaling pathway, which is one of the most important antioxidative stress pathways in cells.…”

“…Moreover, microflora plays a vital role in reproductive performance. Probiotics feed supplements have been shown to improve sow reproductive capacity by influencing gut microbiota (Alexopoulos et al, 2004;Tsukahara et al, 2018;Cao et al, 2019).…”

“…MDA, T‐AOC, GSH‐Px, CAT and SOD can be used to determine the redox state of sow serum. MDA is a sign of oxidative stress, and its increased level indicates that the animal is in a strong oxidative stress state (Cao et al., 2019). SOD can catalyse the degradation of superoxide radicals into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide, which are then degraded by CAT.…”
