“…Therefore, the relationship between maternal trace element nutrition and the postnatal growth of the offspring has attracted increasing attention. Zinc (Zn) can alleviate epithelial cell damage by promoting the proliferation and differentiation of intestinal epithelial cells and preventing apoptosis 14,15 . Iron (Fe) can regulate intestinal development, epithelial maturation and cell proliferation through the Wnt/β‐catenin signaling pathway 16,17 .…”

BackgroundDietary supplementation with trace elements zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), and manganese (Mn) could promote intestinal development and improve intestinal health. There are, however, few studies examining the possibility that maternal original Zn, Fe, and Mn could regulate the intestinal development and barrier function in the offspring. This study aimed to investigate how the intestinal growth and barrier function of breeder offspring were affected by collagen peptide chelated trace elements (PTE, Zn, Fe, Mn).ResultsPTE supplementation in the diet of breeder hens increased the concentrations of Zn, Fe, and Mn in egg yolk. Maternal PTE supplementation improved morphological parameters of the intestine (villi height, crypt depth, and villi height/crypt depth), and upregulated the mRNA expression level of leucine‐rich repeat‐containing G protein‐coupled receptor 5 (Lgr5) in the ileum of chick embryos. Furthermore, maternal PTE effect improved villi height/crypt depth of offspring at 1 and 14 days of age, and upregulated Lgr5, Claudin‐3, and E‐cadherin mRNA expression in the broiler ileum. Additionally, PTE treatment could enhance the intestinal microbial diversity of offspring. Maternal PTE supplementation increased the relative abundance of Clostridiales at the genus level and decreased the relative abundance of Enterococcus in newborn offspring. Moreover, maternal PTE supplementation ameliorated the elevated nuclear factor kappa B (NF‐κB), toll‐like receptor 4 (TLR4), and interleukin ‐1beta (IL‐1β) mRNA expression in the ileum of offspring caused by LPS challenge.ConclusionMaternal PTE supplementation could promote intestinal development, and enhance the intestinal barrier function of chicken offspring.This article is protected by copyright.

“…Zn is added to livestock feed in organic (such as Zn lactate, amino acid Zn, and chelated Zn) and inorganic (such as Zn sulfate and oxide) forms. According to a study, zinc threonine chelate has a higher bioavailability of zinc than zinc sulfate [10]. Owing to the high cost of organic Zn, traditional Zn oxide (ZnO) is primarily added to broiler chicken feed.…”

The effects of dietary supplementation with two particle sizes of nano zinc oxide (ZnO) on growth performance, immune function, intestinal morphology, and the gut microbiome were determined in a 42-day broiler chicken feeding experiment. A total of 75 one-day-old Arbor Acres broilers were randomized and divided into three groups with five replicates of five chicks each, including the conventional ZnO group (NC), the nano-ZnO group with an average particle size of 82 nm (ZNPL), and the nano-ZnO group with an average particle size of 21 nm (ZNPS). Each group was supplemented with 40 mg/kg of ZnO or nano-ZnO. Our results revealed that birds in the ZNPS group had a higher average daily gain and a lower feed-to-gain ratio than those in the NC group. ZNPS significantly increased the thymus index and spleen index, as well as the levels of serum metallothionein (MT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and lysozyme (LZM). The ZNPS treatments reduced interleukin (IL)-1β and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) levels and increased IL-2 and interferon (IFN)-γ levels compared to that in the NC group. Additionally, compared with the birds in the NC group, those in the nano-ZnO group had a higher villus height to crypt depth ratio of the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. Bacteroides increased in the ZNPS group at the genus level. Further, unidentified_Lachnospiraceae, Blautia, Lachnoclostridium, unidentified_Erysipelotrichaceae, and Intestinimonas were significantly increased in the ZNPL group. In conclusion, nano-ZnO improved the growth performance, promoted the development of immune organs, increased nonspecific immunity, improved the villus height to crypt depth ratio of the small intestine, and enriched the abundance of beneficial bacteria. Notably, the smaller particle size (21 nm) of nano-ZnO exhibited a more potent effect.
