“…Succinivibrio is abundant in the rumen of high-yielding and multi-product dairy cows, and its growth is related to the activities of urease, glutamine synthase, glutamate dehydrogenase, and glutamate synthase, which can improve nitrogen utilization (Hailemariam et al, 2020 ). Studies have shown that the abundance of the Rikenellaceae RC9 gut group is negatively correlated with diarrhea rate and positively correlated with nutrient digestibility, similar to the results of this experiment (Tian et al, 2020 ). Roseburia is a saccharolytic, butyrate-producing bacterium from human feces that can decompose a variety of sugars (e.g., xylose, galactose, raffinose, maltose, cellobiose, sucrose, and starch), and also affects the activities of β-glucuronidase and β-glucosidase in in vitro experiments, which is conducive to improve feed utilization (Machiels et al, 2014 ).…”

A red yeast isolated from orange and grape soil and identified by the 26S rDNA sequence analysis revealed that it was Rhodotorula mucilaginosa and named TZR2014. Its biomass and carotenoid production reached a maximum when using the fermentation medium with pH 6.0, containing 5% glucose, 1% peptone, and 1.5% yeast powder. TZR2014 was resistant to 55°C for 15 min, 0.2% pig bile salts for 4 h, and artificial gastric and intestinal fluids. A total of thirty 28-day weaned pigs were divided into three groups, and the piglets were fed a basal diet (CON), a basal diet and orally administered 1 ml 1.0 × 1010 CFU/ml Candida utilis DSM 2361 three times (C. utilis), or a basal diet and orally administered 1 ml 1.0 × 1010 CFU/mL TZR2014 three times daily (R. mucilaginosa) for 4 weeks. Compared with the piglets in the CON group, those in the C. utilis or R. mucilaginosa group reported an increased average daily weight gain and average daily feed intake (P < 0.05) and a decreased feed/gain (P < 0.05). The diarrhea rate of piglets in the R. mucilaginosa group was lower than that in the CON and C. utilis groups (P < 0.05). Compared with that in the CON and C. utilis groups, the R. mucilaginosa group reported an increased ileum villus height (P < 0.05), serum concentration of total antioxidant content, total superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase and pepsin and lipase activities in the intestinal content, while it reported a decreased serum concentration of malondialdehyde and pH of the intestinal tract (P < 0.05). The relative abundances of Proteobacteria and Megasphaera of caecum in the R. mucilaginosa group were lower than those in the CON and C. utilis groups (P < 0.05). The relative abundances of Prevotella, Ruminococcaceae, Succinivibrio, Rikenellaceae RC9 gut group, and Roseburia of caecum in the R. mucilaginosa group were higher than those in the CON and C. utilis groups (P < 0.05). R. mucilaginosa TZR2014 can produce carotenoids and adapts to the animal's gastrointestinal environment. Oral R. mucilaginosa TZR2014 improved growth performance, enhanced antioxidant capacity, strengthened gastrointestinal digestion, and maintained the intestinal microbiological balance of piglets.

“…The dominant species in the NG and CS materials was M. trichothecenolyticum , a Gram-positive and aerobic or weakly anaerobic non-spore-producing and acid-fast species. In contrast, the abundance of L. plantarum was low in all materials, indicating that WP were similar to forage and crop by-products; WP typically have a low abundance of LAB but a high abundance of undesirable bacteria before ensiling ( Tian et al, 2020 ; Du et al, 2021b ). Therefore, measures to control the microbial community are needed to improve silage fermentation.…”

To facilitate the use of woody plant (WP) as a natural biomass resource to address the shortage of feed for ruminants in the tropics, we use PacBio SMRT sequencing to explore the microbial co-occurrence network and silage fermentation of gliricidia and leucaena prepared with Napier grass (NG) and corn stover (CS) in Southern Africa. Based on dry matter, the crude protein contents of WP are as high as 25%. Compared with NG, the addition of CS speed up the dynamic succession of microorganisms in the silage fermentation process from Gram-negative bacteria to Gram-positive bacteria, and promoted Lactiplantibacillus plantarum to become the dominant community and enhanced the metabolic pathways of lactic acid and citric acid, thus improved the fermentation flavour and quality of WP silage. WP can be mixed with CS to make high-quality silage, which can alleviate the shortage of feed and promote local animal production.

Antioxidant potential of Pediococcus pentosaceus strains from the sow milk bacterial collection in weaned piglets

et al. 2022

Background In modern animal husbandry, breeders pay increasing attention to improving sow nutrition during pregnancy and lactation to favor the health of neonates. Sow milk is a main food source for piglets during their first three weeks of life, which is not only a rich repository of essential nutrients and a broad range of bioactive compounds, but also an indispensable source of commensal bacteria. Maternal milk microorganisms are important sources of commensal bacteria for the neonatal gut. Bacteria from maternal milk may confer a health benefit on the host. Methods Sow milk bacteria were isolated using culturomics followed by identification using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. To screen isolates for potential probiotic activity, the functional evaluation was conducted to assess their antagonistic activity against pathogens in vitro and evaluate their resistance against oxidative stress in damaged Drosophila induced by paraquat. In a piglet feeding trial, a total of 54 newborn suckling piglets were chosen from nine sows and randomly assigned to three treatments with different concentrations of a candidate strain. Multiple approaches were carried out to verify its antioxidant function including western blotting, enzyme activity analysis, metabolomics and 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. Results The 1240 isolates were screened out from the sow milk microbiota and grouped into 271 bacterial taxa based on a nonredundant set of 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Among 80 Pediococcus isolates, a new Pediococcus pentosaceus strain (SMM914) showed the best performance in inhibition ability against swine pathogens and in a Drosophila model challenged by paraquat. Pretreatment of piglets with SMM914 induced the Nrf2-Keap1 antioxidant signaling pathway and greatly affected the pathways of amino acid metabolism and lipid metabolism in plasma. In the colon, the relative abundance of Lactobacillus was significantly increased in the high dose SMM914 group compared with the control group. Conclusion P. pentosaceus SMM914 is a promising probiotic conferring antioxidant capacity by activating the Nrf2-Keap1 antioxidant signaling pathway in piglets. Our study provided useful resources for better understanding the relationships between the maternal microbiota and offspring.
