“…In the current study, the nutritional value of the feed, determined through proximal analysis and digestibility tests, has allowed results to be obtained for use in guinea pig diet formulation ( Castro et al, 2017 , 2018 ; Witkowska et al, 2017 ; Sánchez-Macías et al, 2018 ), as reported in other animal species ( Fortes et al, 2010 ; Safwat et al, 2015 ; Stergiadis et al, 2015 ; Fan et al, 2017 ). The DM content of feeds, their proximal composition, and digestibility varies according to different factors, such as the species of grass, plant parts, cutting age, type, and origin of the feed, whether it is of animal or plant origin ( Gadberry, 2015 ).…”

“…Experiments were conducted with guinea pigs housed individually in metabolic crates equipped with an individual feeder and a nipple drinker ( Castro et al, 2017 , 2018 ). The ingredients that were used as unique dietary components, in “in vivo” direct digestibility tests ( Safwat et al, 2015 ; Fan et al, 2017 ), were fodder and agricultural and kitchen waste. Protein and energy meals were included in 10% of a reference ration based on barley flour and their digestibility coefficients were determined by the difference method, considering that the indigestibility of barley flour is the same when combined with the experimental feed ( Fan et al, 2017 ).…”

“…930.05). Organic matter (OM) was computed as 100 minus the content of ash and water ( Fan et al, 2017 ). Digestible energy (DE) was estimated by multiplying the percentage of TDN by 44.09 ( Weiss and Tebbe, 2019 ) and metabolizable energy (ME) by multiplying the DE content by 0.82 ( Hales, 2019 ), both values were expressed in kcal/kg.…”

To formulate economically viable foods and achieve high performance in guinea pig production it is important to know the nutritional value of the feeds, which requires determining their chemical composition, availability of nutrients, and energy content. Chemical analysis, digestibility tests, and digestible (DE) and metabolizable (ME) energy content of 63 feeds were determined using male guinea pigs of 4-5 months of age. The test feeds were fodder, agricultural residues, agro-industrial and kitchen waste, energy flours, and protein flours of animal and vegetable origin. The result showed a wide variability in the chemical composition and energy density of the feeds evaluated. In the case of forages, the main feed source for the guinea pigs, the average contents ± SD of crude protein, crude fiber, organic matter, DE, and ME were 18.06 ± 6.50%, 23.08 ± 7.14%, 89.95 ± 2.62%, 2963.71 ± 442.68, 2430.24 ± 363.00 Kcal/kg; for the agro-industrial and kitchen waste, the values were 11.52 ± 4.72%, 22.80 ± 14. 61%, 91.37 ± 4.74%, 3006.31 ± 554.01 and 2465.18 ± 454.29 Kcal/kg; for protein feeds the values were 55.18 ± 22.87%, 5.11 ± 5.72%, 91.18 ± 6.92%, 3681.94 ± 433. 24 and 3019.19 ± 355.26 Kcal/kg; for energy feeds the values were 12.73 ± 3.22%, 5.46 ± 1.96%, 95.33 ± 3.32%, 3705.41 ± 171.78 and 3038.43 ± 140.86 Kcal/kg. The ME content is directly associated with crude protein content (R 2 = 0.19) and organic matter digestibility (R 2 = 0.56) and inversely with crude fiber (R 2 = 0.40) and ash (R 2 = 0.13) content (P < 0.01). The results of this study can be used to design feeding programs for family and commercial guinea pig production for meat.

“…24 Gross energy was determined by measuring the heat of combustion in the samples, using a bomb calorimeter (ZDHW-8, Haotian Electric Co., Ltd., Guangdong, Zhongshan, China). Acid-insoluble ash (AIA) contents of fodder and feces were determined using the method of Fan et al 25 The apparent tract digestibility of protein and gross energy was calculated using the following formula: apparent tract digestibility (%) 100 (% AIA in fodder/% AIA in feces) (% nutrient in feces/% nutrient in fodder) 100…”

Isoorientin (ISO) is a natural flavonoid, which is a 6- C-glucoside of luteolin, and has been demonstrated to possess multiple biological properties. In this study, the effects of ISO on the growth performance and gut microbiota of BALB/c mice were investigated. The results showed that ISO could promote food intake and body weight gain, increase the digestibility of crude proteins and utilization of the gross energy, and strengthen antioxidant capacity of mice. We also demonstrated it has no side effects on hepatic and renal functions. Moreover, ISO inhibited the growth of most bacteria in gut microbiota, especially the pathogenic genera of Alistipes, Helicobacter, and Oscillibacter, which could lead to inflammation. Metabolisms of epithelial cell signaling in Helicobacter pylori infection, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) biosynthesis, and LPS biosynthesis proteins in gut microbiota of the control group were more abundant than those in the ISO group, while lipid metabolism and vitamin B metabolism were enriched in the ISO group. We found the changes in enrichments of metabolic pathways of the gut microbiota along with the ISO application were positively correlated with the antioxidation, anti-inflammation, and antibiosis. This work provided a fundamental basis for the future development of ISO-functional foods used for resistance to oxidation, inflammation, and pathogens.

“…Previous studies have demonstrated that plant extracts could be used to alleviate negative impact from weaning stress and improve performance in weaned pigs via improving nutrient digestibility, anti-inflammatory function and antioxidant status ( Kong et al., 2007 ; Huang et al., 2012 ; Liu et al., 2011 ; Long et al., 2019 ). Fan et al. (2017) has reported that dietary supplemented with chili meal (containing capsaicin) together with soybean oil could enhance the ADG in growing pigs, but its effect on weaned pigs and possible mechanism remained to be studied.…”

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of natural capsicum extract (NCE, containing 2% natural capsaicin, the rest is carrier) replacing chlortetracycline (CTC) on performance, digestive enzyme activities, antioxidant capacity, inflammatory cytokines, and gut health in weaned pigs. A total of 108 weaned pigs (Duroc × [Landrace × Yorkshire], initial body weight = 8.68 ± 1.34 kg; weaned on d 28) were randomly allotted into 3 treatments with 6 replicate pens per treatment (3 barrows and 3 gilts per pen). The treatments include a corn-soybean meal basal diet as a control group (CON), a CTC group (basal diet + CTC at 75 mg/kg), and a NCE group (basal diet + NEC at 80 mg/kg). Compared with CON and CTC, NCE had increased ( P < 0.05) average daily gain in phase 2 (d 15 to 28) and overall (d 1 to 28), and higher ( P < 0.05) apparent total tract digestibility of gross energy, dry matter, crude protein, and organic matter in phase 1 (d 1 to 14). These pigs also had increased ( P < 0.05) pancrelipase activity in pancreas, α-amylase, lipase and protease activities in the jejunal mucosa, and lipase activity in the ileal mucosa on d 28. Moreover, NCE had increased ( P < 0.05) the contents of growth hormone, β-endorphin, 5-hydroxytryptamine, total antioxidant capacity, total superoxide dismutase, catalase, and IL-10, as well as decreased ( P < 0.05) contents of malondialdehyde, tumor nuclear factor-α, interferon-γ, and interleukin-6 in serum on d 28 compared with CON and CTC. NCE showed higher ( P < 0.05) propionic acid, butyric acid and total volatile fatty acids (VFA) contents, and increased ( P < 0.05) relative abundance of Faecalibacterium in colon, as well as higher ( P < 0.05) propionic acid and total volatile fatty acids in cecum on d 28 compared with CON. In conclusion, NCE replacing CTC could enhance performance via improving digestive enzyme activities, antioxidant capacity, anti-inflammatory function, gut VFA composition and microbiota community in weaned pigs, and it could be used as a potential target for the development of feed additives.
