Abstract: Père David’s deer (Elaphurus davidianus or milu) is a highly endangered species originating from China, and many deer are currently being raised in captivity for gradual re-introduction to the wild. Wild and captive deer currently live in the same region but have vastly different diets. In this study, we used 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing to identify the healthy core microbiome in the gut of wild and captive Père David’s deer and investigate how dietary factors influence the gut microbiome by comparing t… Show more

“…Type of housing (e.g., open‐water or a sterilized pool), an artificial diet with limited variety, and antibiotic usage in captivity have a profound impact on the intestinal microbiota, as seen in differences between the intestinal microbiota of wild and captive ptarmigans, Lagopus muta (Ushida, Segawa, Tsuchida, & Murata, 2016), black howler monkeys, Alouatta pigra (Nakamura et al, 2011), southern elephant seals, Mirounga leonina , leopard seals, Hydrurga leptonyx (Nelson, Rogers, Carlini, & Brown, 2013b), and dugongs, Dugong dugon (Eigeland et al, 2012). In addition, Sun, Liu, Liu, Yuan, and Lu (2019) showed that the core gut microbiota of wild and captive Pere David's deer, Elaphurus davidianus , strongly coevolved and plays essential roles (e.g., digestion and absorption of nutrients) in the host species.…”

“…Closely related mammals generally share similar gut microbiome composition (GMC), which is usually enriched for bacteria associated with the main macronutrients of a host's feeding strategy [8][9][10]. Yet, the environment significantly alters individual host microbiomes, as evidenced by differences in microbiome composition between wild and captive conspecifics [9,[11][12][13][14]. Gut microbiome studies of captive and wild mammals show that non-human primates (NHPs) experience relatively large losses of native gut microbiome diversity in captivity compared to the wild [6,11].…”

“…Nevertheless, wild animals are continuously captured in huge numbers from their natural habitat for population management, conservation efforts, and zoo exhibition 18 , which can affect their gut microbiome. Previous studies have discussed the effect of captivity on the gut microbiome of wild animals such as Père David's deer 19 where clear differences in the composition of the gut microbiome were detected between captive and wild individuals. However, little is known about the effect of other anthropogenic interferences on the health of the internal microbiome of wildlife, for example management related activities such as deworming and translocation of animals.…”
