“…Of utmost importance for this review, microbiota—and in particular those of maternal origin—are of critical importance in determining offspring health [ 138 ]. The alteration of microbiota during pregnancy affects the development and adult phenotypes in mice [ 138 , 139 , 140 , 141 , 142 ] and is one of the main causes of adverse pregnancy outcomes affecting neonatal and infant health in humans [ 143 , 144 , 145 , 146 ].…”

“…In addition to the indirect effects of the maternal microbiome during pregnancy, there is experimental and clinical evidence showing that the maternal microbiome is present in the breast milk [ 147 ] and in the vaginal tract [ 143 ]; from these sites, they are directly transferred to the offspring gut [ 147 , 148 ]. Breast milk microbiota composition is modified by the maternal diet and by obesity in mice and humans [ 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 149 ] and has been reported as affecting offspring development and health [ 149 ].…”

The Legacy of Parental Obesity: Mechanisms of Non-Genetic Transmission and Reversibility

While a dramatic increase in obesity and related comorbidities is being witnessed, the underlying mechanisms of their spread remain unresolved. Epigenetic and other non-genetic mechanisms tend to be prominent candidates involved in the establishment and transmission of obesity and associated metabolic disorders to offspring. Here, we review recent findings addressing those candidates, in the context of maternal and paternal influences, and discuss the effectiveness of preventive measures.

The probiotic powder can improve the value of hematology, reduce blood fat and increase the production of late-phase laying hens. The study was conducted to assess the impact of probiotic powder on the different physiological activities system of late-phase laying hens measured with hematological values and serum biochemistry. The research was carried out from March until April, 2022 at the Layer Farm Sukarapi Village, Universitas Padjadjaran, Indonesia. A total of 40 laying hens 90 weeks were randomly allocated to four treatments and five replications, with experimental Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The treatments were, T0: probiotic powder free-control diet. T1: ration and 2 % powder probiotic, T2: ration and 3% powder probiotic, T3: ration and 4% powder probiotic. Statistically, there was no significant differences (P>0.05) in hemoglobin, hematocrit, erythrocyte, leukocyte, cholesterol, and triglyceride blood levels. Meanwhile, our data showed statistically significant difference in glucose blood levels. However, the administration of powder probiotics of 3% and 4 % has improved the hemoglobin, hematocrit, erythrocyte, and leukocyte levels, and decreased cholesterol, and triglyceride blood levels.

“…Maternal intestinal microorganisms are closely related to fetal intestinal colonization, and the maternal microbial environment will affect the development of the fetus [ 4 ]. Intestinal microorganisms also affect female reproduction [ 5 ]. Compared with low prolificacy sows (litter size less than 7), high prolificacy sows (litter size more than 15) had lower fecal microbial richness during late pregnancy and higher fecal microbial diversity during early stage after farrowing [ 6 ].…”

N-Carbamylglutamate Improves Reproductive Performance and Alters Fecal Microbiota and Serum Metabolites of Primiparous Sows during Gestation after Fixed-Time Artificial Insemination

N-carbamylglutamate (NCG) supplementation during gestation improves reproductive performance in sows after conventional artificial insemination. However, whether NCG can improve reproductive performance and change fecal microbiota and serum metabolite levels during pregnancy in sows after fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI) remains unclear. Two hundred multiparous sows were assigned a diet from mating until farrowing: control (corn–soybean meal) or NCG supplementation (0.05% NCG). At days 30, 70, and 110 of gestation and after farrowing, maternal microbial diversity and serum metabolites were studied. Supplementation of NCG increased the number of piglets born alive and the litter weight (all p < 0.05) and altered the fetal microbial community during gestation. Some genera were particularly abundant at different time points during gestation and after farrowing, but none were commonly abundant across all four time points. Metabolic analysis revealed that NCG supplementation significantly increased the serum concentrations of NCG, ferulic acid, cinnamoylglycine, 3-phenyllactic acid, and gamma-glutamylglutamic acid in the NCG group compared with levels in the control group. Our results reveal that NCG supplementation during gestation improves reproductive performance in sows after FTAI, exerting both direct (increased serum NCG levels) and indirect effects (altered intestinal microbiome and serum metabolites) on sow reproduction and, ultimately, improving placental and fetal development.
