Effect of gaseous hydrogen sulphide on growth performance and cecal microbial diversity of weaning pigs

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of gaseous hydrogen sulphide on growth performance and cecal microbial diversity in weaning pigs. A total of 24 weaning pigs (Landrace × Yorkshire × Duroc; average body weight = 8.55 ± 0.68 kg;weaning at 28 days) were selected and randomly divided into four groups (six replicates in each group). The piglets were exposed to hydrogen sulphide (0, 5, 10 and 15 mg/m3) during the experiment period, which lasted 28 days in four controlled environmental chambers. Th… Show more

“…Several studies have reported a higher faecal level of Escherichia coli and several Klebsiella in patients with IBS compared to non‐IBS controls 40–43 . Our data showed that these putative pathogens may contribute to intestinal production of hydrogen sulphide and served as an important component of intestinal gas leading to bloating 38,44,45 . Besides, hydrogen sulphide is a potential biomarker for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth in diarrhoea‐predominant IBS 37 .…”

“…At the microbiome functional level, in the FMT arm, the relative abundance of 22 metabolic pathways was significantly increased, while 34 pathways were significantly decreased at week 12 compared with baseline (FDR <0.05, Figure 4B). Among them, the most significantly decreased metabolic pathway in patients after receiving FMT was Assimilatory sulfate reduction I, which was known to produce hydrogen sulphide and may contribute to bloating 37–39 . The top bacteria species that contributed to the Assimilatory sulfate reduction I pathway were Escherichia coli and several Klebsiella (Figure 4C), and there was a significant decrease in the total relative abundance of these bacteria in FMT arm ( p = 0.02, Figure 4D), while no change was seen in the placebo arm ( p = 0.45).…”

“…Hydrogen sulfide has antioxidant and immune-regulatory properties, and it can also serve as an oral gas biomarker for IBS-D, 18 while our findings explain that the accumulated hydrogen sulfide is from the increased SO4ASSIM pathway. Some studies have directly confirmed that hydrogen sulfide can induce diarrhea, 19 thus it may also be responsible for the altered stool quality in IBS-D patients. In addition, the LACTOSECAT pathway (increased in IBS-C but decreased in IBS-D and IBS-U) is mainly involved in the degradation of lactose and galactose, and a decrease in this function appears to cause lactose-related dyspepsia, which is an important trigger for IBS symptoms.…”
