Effect of Vanadium and Tea Polyphenols on Intestinal Morphology, Microflora and Short-Chain Fatty Acid Profile of Laying Hens

Abstract: Vanadium (V) is a trace element which can induce dysfunction of gastro-intestine and egg quality deterioration of laying hens. This study was conducted to determine the effect of tea polyphenols (TP) on intestinal morphology, microflora, and short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) profile of laying hens fed vanadium containing diets. A total of 120 Lohman laying hens (67-week-old) were randomly divided into 4 groups with 6 replicates and 5 birds each for a 35-day feeding trial. The dietary treatments were as follows: (1… Show more

“…Therefore, our findings are harmonious with a hypothesis that GTL drinking is associated with gut microbiota changes driving increased luminal SCFA exposure and reduced intestinal inflammation. Interestingly, our findings are supported by both animal studies and a recent in vitro study showing proliferation of certain SCFA‐producing genera with GTP and an elevated level of SCFA produced in cultures with tea polyphenols . Whether the changes in intestinal microbiota that we observed with GTL intervention increase in luminal SCFA levels is a question that will require a metabolomic approach.…”

“…The majority of these studies focused on the small intestine, mainly the jejunum mucosa, with only a few evaluating the duodenum [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37], despite its very high absorption potential [38]. In one case, supplementation with bamboo vinegar or polyunsaturated fatty acid from an extruded flax product resulted in a significant increase in duodenal villi height in aged hens, suggesting that diet composition affects the duodenal mucosal structure [29,36].…”

“…Polyphenols and polyphenol‐rich foods (fruits, teas, spices) also increase the concentration of SCFA and consequently protect intestinal cells from damage . Mango ( Mangifera indica L.) is not only a fiber‐rich (1.3–3.8 g per 100 g) but also a polyphenol‐rich fruit .…”
