Adding Appropriate Fiber in Diet Increases Diversity and Metabolic Capacity of Distal Gut Microbiota Without Altering Fiber Digestibility and Growth Rate of Finishing Pig

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The digestion ability of pigs to dietary fiber is derived from their intestinal microbiota, especially hindgut microbiota. However, tolerance of pigs to high dietary fiber and the changes of microbiota profile with fiber levels are still unclear.

EFFECT OF ISOFLAVONES ON GROWTH PERFORMANCE, DIGESTIBILITY, NITROGEN BALANCE AND CAECAL MICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF RABBITS [PDF]

Journal of Animal and Poultry Production, 2002
Male New Zealand white rabbits were used to investigate the effect of two levels of isoflavones on the growth performance, nutrients digestibility, N-balance and caecal microbial activity.  The experimental rabbits were randomly divided into three groups

Eggshell and Feed Microbiota Do Not Represent Major Sources of Gut Anaerobes for Chickens in Commercial Production

Microorganisms, 2021
In this study, we addressed the origin of chicken gut microbiota in commercial production by a comparison of eggshell and feed microbiota with caecal microbiota of 7-day-old chickens, using microbiota analysis by 16S rRNA sequencing.

Characterization of Bacterial Microbiota Composition along the Gastrointestinal Tract in Rabbits

Animals, 2020
The microbiota is extremely important for the animal’s health, but, to date, knowledge on the intestinal microbiota of the rabbit is very limited. This study aimed to describe bacterial populations that inhabit the different gastrointestinal compartments

Effect of cecal microbiota transplantation between different broiler breeds on the chick flora in the first week of life

Poultry Science, 2022
: The cecal microbiota plays numerous roles in chicken health and nutrition. Where such microbiota differs between lines exhibiting distinct phenotypes, microbiota transplantation offers scope to dissect the role of gut microbial communities in those ...

Environmental Impact on Differential Composition of Gut Microbiota in Indoor Chickens in Commercial Production and Outdoor, Backyard Chickens

Microorganisms, 2020
In this study, we compared the caecal microbiota composition of egg-laying hens from commercial production that are kept indoors throughout their whole life with microbiota of hens kept outdoors.

Ex vivo comparison of barbed and unbarbed sutures for the closure of caecal and pelvic flexure enterotomies in horses

Veterinaria Italiana, 2019
In this study the caecum and large colon were harvested from 24 slaughtered horses. On each sample, an 8‑cm long enterotomy was performed. Enterotomies were closed using either barbed or unbarbed glycomer‑631.

Altered Caecal Neuroimmune Interactions in the Neuroligin-3R451C Mouse Model of Autism

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2020
The intrinsic nervous system of the gut interacts with the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) via bidirectional neuroimmune interactions. The caecum is an understudied region of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract that houses a large supply of microbes ...

Molecular profiling of bacterial species in the geese cecum

Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2011
The purpose of this study was to analyse the microbial diversity in the caecum of geese using a 16S ribosomal RNA gene (rRNA) clone library approach. A total of 160 clones and 124 clones were sequenced and phylogenetically analysed from the contents and ...

Effect of tetramethylpyrazine on growth performance, Campylobacter jejuni carriage and endogenous antimicrobial peptides in rabbits

Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2019
The present study aimed to investigate the effect of tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) supplementation on growth performance, Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni) carriage and antimicrobial peptides in the epithelial tissue of caecum and skin in rabbits.
