“…Alpha diversity can be utilized as an indicator of the functional resilience of ecological diversity of the intestinal microbiota, including species richness indices (Observed species, Chao, and Ace), and species diversity (Shannon and Simpson) 46 . In the current study, dietary inclusion with FSBM significantly increased the Shannon, Simpson, and Chao1 richness, which was in accordance with our previous findings in pigs that dietary inclusion of FSBM significant difference the Shannon, Simpson 47 . Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, and Tenericutes were the most pre-dominant bacteria phylum in the piglets 48 .…”

This study investigates the effects of soybean meal fermented by Enterococcus faecium as a replacement for soybean meal on growth performance, apparent total tract digestibility, blood profile and gut microbiota of weaned pigs. Eighty piglets (weaned at 21 days) [(Landrace × Yorkshire) × Duroc] with average body weight of 6.52 ± 0.59 kg) were selected and assigned to 4 treatments/4 replicate pens (3 barrows and 2 gilts). The four diets (SBM, 3, 6 and 9% FSBM) were formulated using fermented soybean meal to replace 0, 3, 6 and 9% of soybean meal, respectively. The trial lasted for 42 days phase 1, 2 and 3. Result showed that supplemental FSBM increased (P < 0.05) the body weight gain (BWG) of piglets at day 7, 21 and 42 and ADG at days 1–7, 8–21, 22–42 and 1–42, and ADFI at days 8–21, 22–42 and 1–42 and G: F at days 1–7, 8–21 and 1–42, and crude protein, dry matter, and gross energy digestibility at day 42, and lowered (P < 0.05) diarrhea at days 1–21 and 22–42. The concentration of glucose levels, WBC, RBC, and lymphocytes were increased while, concentration of BUN level in the serum was lowered in the FSBM treatment compared to the SBM group (P < 0.05). Microbiota sequencing found that FSBM supplementation increased the microbial Shannon, Simpsons and Chao indexs, (P < 0.05) and the abundances of the phylum Firmicutes, and genera prevotella, Lactobacillus, Lachnospiraceae and Lachnoclostridium (P < 0.05), lower in the abundances of the phylum bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, genera Escherichia-Shigella, Clostridium sensu stricto1, Bacteroides and Parabacteroides (P < 0.05). Overall, FSBM replacing SBM improved the growth performance, apparent total tract digestibility, and blood profiles; perhaps via altering the faecal microbiota and its metabolites in weaned pigs. The present study provides theoretical support for applying FSBM at 6–9% to promote immune characteristics and regulate intestinal health in weaning piglets.

“…Moreover, fermentation with B. subtilis can improve the taste of feed, secrete digestive enzymes, stimulate digestion and absorption of nutrients (60), and produce bacitracin, polymyxin, nystatin, and gramicidin, which inhibit pathogen growth (61). Addition of FSBM to feed increased the activity of digestive enzymes (trypsin, lipase, and protease), improved the FCR and growth of weaned piglets (62), and increased the average daily gain (ADG) of finishing pigs (63). Similarly, using fermented feed, such as SBM, improved the morphological parameters of the intestine, increased nutrient absorption, and increased BWG in broilers (64).…”

“…High levels of HDL were found in the serum of turkeys fed 7 or 9% FSBM (64). Moreover, pigs fed FSBM diets had significantly lower creatinine concentrations than those fed control diets (63). The reduction of cholesterol and TAG levels after feeding on FFB may be attributed to the role of probiotic produced during fermentation in inhibiting 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase enzyme incorporated in cholesterol biosynthesis (84).…”

Improving the nutritional quality of unconventional feed ingredients such as fava bean by-products can enhance their utilization by broiler chickens. Hence, the quality of fermented fava bean by-products (FFB), in addition to growth, nutrient digestibility, digestive enzyme, and intestinal barrier-related gene expression, and serum biochemical and immunological parameters were evaluated in response to different levels of FFB. A total of 500 1-day-old broiler chicks (46.00 ± 0.388 g) were allocated to five groups with 10 replicates each (100 chicks per treatment). The first group was fed a corn–soybean diet (control diet), and the other four groups were fed a diet containing 5, 15, 25, and 35% FFB for 38 days. Birds fed 25% FFB exhibited maximum body weight gain (increase by 12.5%, compared with the control group) and the most improved feed conversion ratio. Additionally, birds fed FFB at 15, 25, and 35% showed improved dry matter and crude protein digestibility. Moreover, birds fed FFB at 25 and 35% exhibited a decrease in ileal pH and an increase in fiber digestibility (p < 0.05). Upregulation of digestive enzyme genes (AMY2A, PNLIP, and CCK) was observed in groups fed with FFB. The most prominent upregulation of genes encoding tight junction proteins (claudin-1, occludin, and junctional adhesion molecules) in the duodenum was observed in chicks fed 25 and 35% FFB (increase of 0.66-, 0.31-, and 1.06-fold and 0.74-, 0.44-, and 0.92-fold, respectively). Additionally, the highest expression level of enterocyte protective genes [glucagon-like peptide (GLP-2), mucin-2 (MUC-2), and fatty acid-binding protein (FABP-6)] was detected in duodenum of chicks fed high levels of FFB. Substitution of corn–soybean diet with FFB had an inhibitory effect on cecal pathogenic microbes (Escherichia coli and Clostridium perfringens) and increased beneficial microflora (Lactobacilli and Bifidobacterium), especially at high levels. Additionally, an increase was observed in IgM and lysozyme activity, with no effect on IgA in all groups fed FFB. All levels of FFB decreased cholesterol levels. Based on our results, we concluded that substitution of corn–soybean diet with FFB can improve the growth rate and nutrient digestibility of broiler chickens, enhance their intestinal barrier functions, and increase the number of beneficial microorganisms. Using FFB at 25% had a positive effect on the growth performance of broiler chickens, and it could be utilized in poultry farms.

“…Wu et al [42] reported evidence indicated a close relationship among Prevotella and long period of time carbohydrates diets or carbohydrates from ber-rich diets. Feng et al [43] and Forsyth et al [44] reported a higher Prevotella abundance, the higher the mucin composite content, but bacterial toxins would reduce gut penetrability and the sensitivity of the region-speci c gut to systemic exposure. Accordingly, higher in the Prevotella abundances in FSBM it could be helpful in improve on growth performance in weaning piglets.…”

Methods: Eighty piglets (weaned at 21 days) [(Landrace x Yorkshire) x Duroc] with average body weight of 6.52 ± 0.59 kg) were selected and assigned to 4 treatments / 4 replicate pens (3 barrows and 2 gilts). The four diets (SBM, 3%, 6% and 9% FSBM) were formulated using FSBM to replace 0%, 3%, 6% and 9% of SBM, respectively. The trial lasted for 42 days (phase 1 (days 0-7), phase 2 (8-21), and phase 3 (days 22-42). Results: Result showed that supplemental FSBM increased (P < 0.05) the body weight gain (BWG) for piglets at day 7, 21 and 42 and ADG at days 1-7, 8-21, 22- 42 and 1-42, and ADFI at days 8-21,22-42 and 1-42 and G: F at days 1-7, 8-21 and 1-42, and crude protein, dry matter, and energy digestibility at day 42, and the lowered (P< 0.05) diarrhea at days 1-21 and 22-42. The concentration of glucose levels, WBC, RBC and lymphocytes were increased while, concentration of BUN level in the serum was lowered in the FSBM treatment compared to the SBM group (P <0.05). Microbiota sequencing found that FSBM supplementation increased the microbial Shannon, Simpsons and Chao indexs, (P< 0.05) and the abundances of the phylam Firmicutes, and genera prevotella, Lactobacillus, Lachnospiraceae and Lachnoclostridium(P< 0.05), lower in the abundances of the phylam bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, genera Escherichia-Shigella, Clostridium sensu stricto1, Bacteroides and Parabacteroides (P <0.05). Conclusions: Overall, FSBM replacing SBM improved the growth performance, nutrient digestibility, and blood profiles; perhaps via altering the faecal microbiota and its metabolites in weaned pigs. The present study provides theoretical support for applying FSBM at 6 to 9% promote immune characteristics and regulate intestinal health in weaning piglets.
