  • 본 연구는 복합생균제(L. plantarum, B. subtilis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae)를 0%(CON, 대조군), 0.25%(PC1) 및 0.5%(PC2) 수준으로 급여하여 육계의 생산성, 장기 무게, 혈액 생화학적 성상 및 면역지표, 소화효소 활성도, 분의 미생물 군락 및 유해가스 발생에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 실시되었다. 복합생균제 급여는 체중 등과 같은 생산성에는 유의적 영향을 미치지 않았다. 간과 흉선 무게는 복합생균제 급여에 따른 영향이 없었으나, 소장 점막세포 무게는 PC1군에서 유의하게(P<0.05) 증가하였다. Glucose, cholesterol, AST, ALT 등과 같은 혈액 생화학성분은 복합생균제 급여에 따른 변화가 없었다. 분비형 면역글로불린 A(sIgA) 수준은 PC2군에서 대조군과 비교해 소장 점막세포에서 유의하게(P<0.05) 증가하였으며, 혈액에서도 PC2군에서 대조군보다 약 20% 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 혈액과 소장 점막세포의 IL-1β 수준은 복합생균제 급여에 따른 차이가 없었다. 또한, 복합생균제 급여가 소장 점막세포의 maltase, sucrase 및 leucine aminopeptidase 활성도에는 영향을 미치지 않았다. 한편 Lactobacillus 및 Saccharomyces cerevisiae cfu 수준은 복합생균제 0.5% 급여군에서 대조군보다 유의하게(P<0.05) 증가하였고, E. coli cfu 값은 감소하였다(P<0.05). 복합생균제 0.5% 급여 시 분에서 황화수소(H2S) 발생량은 유의하게(P<0.05) 감소하였으며, 메틸메르캅탄(CH3SH) 발생량 역시 50% 수준으로 낮았다. 결론적으로 복합생균제 급여(0.25% 및 0.5%)는 육계의 생산성에는 영향을 미치지 않았지만 0.5% 수준으로 급여할 경우 소장 점막세포의 sIgA 증가와 유익 미생물 균총의 증식을 유도하여 분의 유해가스 발생을 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다.

  • Two experiments were conducted to compare the effects of feeding organic acids and antibiotic growth promoters in weaned pigs. In Exp. 1, 96 nursery pigs (Large White$\times$Landrace; initial weight $7.80{\pm}0.07kg$) were randomly allotted into one of four dietary treatments. Pigs in treatment 1 were fed a complex starter diet. Treatments 2 to 4 were the same as treatment 1 but supplemented with antibiotics (200 ppm chlortetracycline plus 60 ppm Lincospectin), 0.5% potassium diformate or 0.5% dry organic acid blend ACTIVATE Starter DA (ASD). During the 4-week post-weaning period, pigs fed ASD or antibiotics had better gain (p = 0.03) and feed efficiency (p = 0.04) than pigs fed the control diet. On d 14 post-weaning, pigs fed the control diet had the lowest fecal lactobacilli count among all dietary treatments (p = 0.02), whereas pigs fed ASD or antibiotics had a trend for lower fecal E. coli count compared to the control pigs (p = 0.08). Serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) of pigs fed ASD did not differ from pigs fed the control diet (p>0.05) at d 14 after weaning. In Exp. 2, 24 weaned pigs (Large White$\times$Long White; initial weight $5.94{\pm}0.33kg$) were allotted into four groups and housed individually. Pigs were fed a control diet or diets supplemented with antibiotics (100 ppm colistin sulfate, 50 ppm Kitasamycin plus 60 ppm Olaquindox), 0.5% or 1% ASD. All pigs were orally challenged with E. coli $K88^+$ on d 5. During d 5 to 14 after challenge, pigs fed antibiotics, 0.5% or 1% ASD had better gain (p = 0.01) and feed efficiency (p = 0.03) than pigs fed the control diet. On d 14, compared to the control pigs, pigs fed 0.5% ASD had higher lactobacilli in the duodenum and pigs fed 1% ASD and antibiotics had a trend for higher lactobacilli in the ileum (p = 0.08). Pigs fed antibiotics, 0.5% or 1% ASD diets tended to have decreased ileal E. coli count compared to those fed the control diet (p = 0.08). Serum interleukin-6 and cortisol and digesta pH values were not affected by treatment or time. These results indicate that feeding ASD can improve the growth performance of weaning pigs, mainly via modulating intestinal microflora populations without affecting gastrointestinal pH or immune indices.

  • 본 연구는 질소원 결핍 배지에서 배양되어 in vitro 실험상에서 항균 활력이 있는 것으로 증명된 Aspergillus oryzae 배양물을 질소원 공급 배지와 비교하여 육계의 증체, 사료 섭취량, 영양소 이용율, 유해 가스 생산 및 분내 미생물 균총 변화 등에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 시행되었다. 총 168수 2일령 육계를 7 처리구(대조구, 질소원 공급 배지에서 자란 Aspergillus oryzae 배양물(NAOF) 0.05, 0.1, 0.5%, 질소원 결핍 배지에서 자란 Aspergillus oryzae 배양물(NNAOF) 0.05, 0.1, 0.5%에 배치하였다. 본 실험 결과 Aspergillus oryzae 첨가로 사료의 기호성이 증가되었으며, Aspergillus oryzae 배양시 질소원 결핍 처리는 일반적인 배양 방법에 비하여 증체와 사료 기호성에 더욱 효과적으로 작용하였다. 영양소 소화율은 질소원 처리 구간의 유의적 차이는 없었지만, 대조구에 비하여 Aspergillus oryzae 배양물을 첨가시에 영양소의 소화율이 전반적으로 향상되었는데, 이러한 결과는 육계의 소장 및 대장의 pH 조절에 관여하고 유익균의 생장을 촉진하며, 유해균의 증식을 억제할 수 있는 효소나 대사산물이 분비되어 긍정적으로 작용하여 사료의 기호성 및 영양소의 소화율을 증진시킨 결과라고 추정할 수 있다. 처리에 따른 분내 총균수 변화는 유의적(p<0.05)인 차이를 보였으며, 균수는 NNAOF>NAOF>대조구순으로 나타났다. E. coli와 살모넬라에서는 Aspergillus oryzae 배양물 처리구가 대조구에 비해 현저하게(p<0.05) 감소되었고, 특히 NNAOP 처리구에서 가장 낮게 나타났다. 분내 암모니아 가스 발생량을 조사한 결과, 실험실적으로 검사할 수 있는 발생량은 대조구>NAOF>NNAOF 순으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 NNAOF을 이용한 육계 생산은 생산성 향상과 더불어 환경 오염을 예방할 수 있는 방법임을 시사하므로 더욱 심도있는 연구가 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

  • 본 연구는 생균제가 첨가된 사료 급여시 초기 비육돈의 생산성, 영양소 소화율, 분내 Lactobacillus와 Escherichia coli 농도, 분으로부터의 유해가스 발생량 및 혈중 혈액세포 농도에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 실시하였다. 시험 개시시 체중이 56.48 ${\pm}$ 1.66 kg인 3원 교잡종 [(Landrace ${\times}$ Yorkshire) ${\times}$ Duroc] 초기 비육돈 60 두를 공시하여 28일간 사양실험을 실시하였다. 시험설계는 1) CON (basal diet), 2) P1 (CON + 0.1% probiotics) 및 3) P2 (CON + 0.2% probiotics)로 3개 처리를 하여 처리당 5반복, 반복당 4두씩 완전임의 배치하였다. 일당증체량에 있어서는 처리구간에 아무런 차이를 보이지 않았다(P<0.05). 일당사료섭취량에 있어서는 생균제 첨가 처리구 P1과 P2 처리구가 CON 처리구보다 낮게 나타났다(P<0.05). 사료효율에 있어서는 P2 처리구가 CON 처리구보다 높게 나타났다(P<0.05). 건물소화율은 P2 처리구가 CON과 P1 처리구들보다 높게 나타났다 (P<0.05). 질소소화율에는 아무런 차이를 보이지 않았다 (P>0.05). 에너지 소화율은 P2 처리구가 CON 처리구보다 높게 나타났다(P<0.05). Lactobacillus에 있어서는 처리구 간에 아무런 차이를 보이지 않았다(P>0.05). 그러나, Escherichia coli에서는 P2 처리구가 CON 처리구보다 낮게 나타났다(P<0.05). 분내 암모니아(Ammonia), 황화수소 ($H_2S$) 및 메캅탄(Mercaptan)의 농도는 생균제가 첨가된 P1과 P2 처리구들이 CON 처리구보다 낮게 나타났다(P< .05). 그러나, Acetic acid에서는 P2 처리구가 CON 처리구보다 높게 나타났다(P<0.05). 적혈구, 백혈구 및 임파구의 혈중농도는 처리구간 차이를 보이지 않았다(P>0.05). 결론적으로, 초기 비육돈에 있어 Agariemycetes 0.2%의 첨가급여는 사료효율, 건물 및 에너지 소화율, 분내 Escherichia coli 수 및 악취 발생을 감소시키는데 효과가 있는 것으로 나타난 것으로 보아 돈사의 유해가스와 악취를 줄여 그에 따르는 생산성 감소 및 질병을 줄일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • The aim of this was evaluate the efficacy of lysozyme on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, excreta microflora population, and blood profiles of weanling pigs under Escherichia coli (E. coli) challenge. A total of 30 piglets weaned at 25 days, 7.46 kg body weight, were assigned to three dietary treatments, composed of five replications, two piglets per replication, for 7 days. The dietary treatment groups were negative control (NC; without antibiotics and lysozyme), positive control (PC; NC + antibiotics), lysozyme (NC + 0.1% lysozyme). All piglets were challenged orally with 6 ml suspension, containing E. coli K88 (2 × 109 CFU/mL). Dietary supplementation with lysozyme and PC resulted in no significant differences in average daily gain and gain to feed efficiency. Weanling pigs fed with E. coli challenge with lysozyme and PC treatments had significantly enhanced nutrient retentions of dry matter and energy (p < 0.05); however, there was a tendency to increase nitrogen digestibility. Furthermore, dietary inclusion of lysozyme and antibiotics treatment groups had a beneficial effect on excreta, ileal, and cecal of the fecal microbial population as decreased E. coli (p < 0.05) counts, without effects on lactobacillus counts. A significant effect were observed on a white blood cells, epinephrine and cortisol concentrations were reduced in piglets fed diets containing E. coli challenge with lysozyme and antibiotics supplementation comparison with the NC group. Therefore, the present data indicate that lysozyme in diet could ameliorate the experimental stress response induced by E. coli in piglets by decreasing intestinal E. coli, white blood cells and stress hormones and improving nutrient digestibility.

  • The accumulating evidence substantiates the indispensable role of gut microbiota in modulating the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. Uncovering the intricacies of the mechanism is imperative in aiding disease control efforts. Revealing key bacterial species, their metabolites and/or metabolic pathways from the vast array of gut microorganisms can significantly contribute to precise treatment of the disease. With a high prevalence of type 2 diabetes in Inner Mongolia, China, we recruited volunteers from among the Mongolian population to investigate the relationship between gut microbiota and the disease. Fecal samples were collected from the Volunteers of Mongolia with Type 2 Diabetes group and a Control group, and detected by metagenomic analysis and untargeted metabolomics analysis. The findings suggest that Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes phyla are the predominant gut microorganisms that exert significant influence on the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes in the Mongolian population. In the disease group, despite an increase in the quantity of most gut microbial metabolic enzymes, there was a concomitant weakening of gut metabolic function, suggesting that the gut microbiota may be in a compensatory state during the disease stage. β-Tocotrienol may serve as a pivotal gut metabolite produced by gut microorganisms and a potential biomarker for type 2 diabetes. The metabolic biosynthesis pathways of ubiquinone and other terpenoid quinones could be the crucial mechanism through which the gut microbiota regulates type 2 diabetes. Additionally, certain Clostridium gut species may play a pivotal role in the progression of the disease.

  • The hindgut of horses is an anaerobic fermentative chamber for a complex and dynamic microbial population, which plays a critical role in health and energy requirements. Research on the gut microbiota of Mongolian horses has not been reported until now as far as we know. Mongolian horse is a major local breed in China. We performed high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA genes V4 hypervariable regions from gut fecal material to characterize the gut microbiota of Mongolian horses and compare them to the microbiota in Thoroughbred horses. Fourteen Mongolian and 19 Thoroughbred horses were used in the study. A total of 593,678 sequence reads were obtained from 33 samples analyzed, which were found to belong to 16 phyla and 75 genera. The bacterial community compositions were similar for the two breeds. Firmicutes (56% in Mongolian horses and 53% in Thoroughbred horses) and Bacteroidetes (33% and 32% respectively) were the most abundant and predominant phyla followed by Spirochaete, Verrucomicrobia, Proteobacteria, and Fibrobacteres. Of these 16 phyla, five (Synergistetes, Planctomycetes, Proteobacteria, TM7, and Chloroflexi) were significantly different (p<0.05) between the two breeds. At the genus level, Treponema was the most abundant genus (43% in Mongolian horses vs 29% in Thoroughbred horses), followed by Ruminococcus, Roseburia, Pseudobutyrivibrio, and Anaeroplasma, which were detected in higher distribution proportion in Mongolian horses than in Thoroughbred horses. In contrast, Oscillibacter, Fibrobacter, Methanocorpusculum, and Succinivibrio levels were lower in Mongolian horses. Among 75 genera, 30 genera were significantly different (p<0.05) between the two breeds. We found that the environment was one of very important factors that influenced horse gut microbiota. These findings provide novel information about the gut microbiota of Mongolian horses and a foundation for future investigations of gut bacterial factors that may influence the development and progression of gastrointestinal disease in horses.

  • The experiment was conducted by in vitro fermentation and bacterial community analysis to investigate the reduction of odorous compounds in response to the use of feed additives (FA) during carbohydrate overload in growing pigs. Soluble starch at 1% (control) and various FA at 0.1% Ginseng meal (FA1); Persimmon leaf (FA2); Gingko nut (FA3) and Oregano lippia (FA4) were added to fecal slurry and incubated anaerobically for 12 and 24 h. In vitro parameters and microbial diversity of the dominant bacteria following fermentation were analyzed using Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE), band cloning and sequencing of the V3 region. Results showed that total gas production increased with the advancement of incubation (p<0.05). pH values of FAs and control groups were decreased except the FA4 group which increased somewhat from 12 to 24 h (p<0.05). Ammonia nitrogen ($NH_3$-N) and $H_2S$ gas concentrations were comparatively lower in both stages in FA4 treatment than in the other groups (p<0.05). Hence, $NH_3$-N concentrations in liquid phases were increased (p<0.05) from 12 to 24 h, but the trend was lowest in FA4 than in the other groups at both stages. The total VFA production was comparatively lower and butyrate levels were moderate in FA4 group than in the the other groups during both stages (p<0.05). Indirect odor-reducing compounds such as $NO_2$, $NO_3$ and $SO_4$ concentrations were higher in the FA4 and FA3 than in the other groups at 24 h (p<0.05). After fermentation, ten dominant bands appeared, six of which appeared in all samples and four in only the FA4 treated group. The total number of DGGE bands and diversity was higher in the FA4-group compared to other groups. Additionally, similarity indices were lowest (71%) in the FA4, which represented a different bacterial community compared with the other groups. These findings indicate that $NH_3$-N, $H_2S$ and VFA production was minimal, and pH was also better in the FA4 group than in the other groups. Furthermore, the conversion of odor-reducing indirect compounds or their intermediates was higher in the FA4 group in compared to the other groups. FA4 group generated less odorous products and more indirect products by in vitro fermentation at 24 h, and their microbial pattern appeared to differ from that of the other groups. These findings suggest that this particular FA could change the microbial population, which may have a beneficial effect on odor reduction. It is recommended that the oregano lippia may be supplied to growing pigs as FA along with excess carbohydrate sources to reduce the production of odorous compounds.

  • 본 연구는 청보리 사일리지가 첨가된 발효사료를 임신돈에 급여하였을 때 분에서의 악취물질 농도와 미생물 변화를 조사하고, 변비예방 효과를 확인하기 위하여 수행되었다. 1. in vitro 시험결과 페놀은 타피오카, 비트펄프, 밀기울, 루핀종실에서 검출되지 않았으며, p-크레졸은 9.62~52.11 mg/L 범위로 검출되었는데, 루핀종실이 가장 높았고, 타피오카가 가장 낮았다. 또한 타피오카와 비트펄프에서는 인돌과 스카톨이 검출되지 않아 악취저감용 원료사료로 타피오카와 비트펄프가 가장 유용한 것으로 평가되었다. 2. 비트펄프를 기초로 배합한 악취저감사료를 28일간 임신돈에 급여한 후 분을 채취하여 성상을 조사한 결과 대조구에 비하여 발효사료 급여구에서 수분함량이 높고 경도가 낮았으며, 대장균 (E. coli) 수는 적었으며, 유산균 (lactobacilus) 수는 많았다. 3. 돼지의 분 중 p-크레졸과 스카톨 농도를 측정한 결과 대조구에서는 각각 33%와 67%가 검출한계 이하로 조사되었으나, 발효사료 구에서는 각각 67%와 100% 검출한계 이하로서 조사되어 발효사료를 섭취한 돼지의 분에서 악취가 감소될 수 있었다. 4. 따라서 임신돈에 청보리사일리지가 첨가된 발효사료를 급여하였을 때 대장의 기능이 개선되어 변비예방과 악취감소의 효과를 기대할 수 있을 것이다.
