Dietary Fibre Supplementation Improves Semen Production by Increasing Leydig Cells and Testosterone Synthesis in a Growing Boar Model
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022 Testicular development is imperative to spermatogenesis, and pre-puberty is the key period for testis development. This study, therefore, investigated the effects of fibre supplementation on testis development and its possible mechanism in a growing boar Yan Lin, Yan Lin, De Wu, De Wu, Lianqiang Che, Lianqiang Che, Zhengfeng Fang, Zhengfeng Fang, Shengyu Xu, Shengyu Xu, Bin Feng, Bin Feng, Yong Zhuo, Yong Zhuo, Jian Li, Jian Li, Caimei Wu, Caimei Wu, Junjie Zhang, Lujie Li, Lujie Li +20 moredoaj +1 more sourceThe Improvement of Semen Quality by Dietary Fiber Intake Is Positively Related With Gut Microbiota and SCFA in a Boar Model
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Although fiber-rich diets have been positively associated with sperm quality, there have not been any studies that have examined the effects of dietary fiber and its metabolites on sperm quality in young or pre-pubescent animals.Yan Lin, Yan Lin, Ke Wang, Ke Wang, Lianqiang Che, Lianqiang Che, Zhengfeng Fang, Zhengfeng Fang, Shengyu Xu, Shengyu Xu, Bin Feng, Bin Feng, Yong Zhuo, Yong Zhuo, Jian Li, Jian Li, Caimei Wu, Caimei Wu, Junjie Zhang, Haoyu Xiong, Haoyu Xiong, Chenglong Yu, Chenglong Yu, De Wu, De Wu +24 moredoaj +1 more sourceThe Optimal Combination of Dietary Starch, Non-Starch Polysaccharides, and Mannan-Oligosaccharide Increases the Growth Performance and Improves Butyrate-Producing Bacteria of Weaned Pigs

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 IntroductionSeveral studies have evaluated the effects of tributyrin on sow reproductive performance; however, none of these studies have investigated the effects of tributyrin on sow gut microbiota and its potential interactions with immune systems and ...Yan Lin, Yan Lin, Dan Li, Dan Li, Zhao Ma, Zhao Ma, Lianqiang Che, Lianqiang Che, Bin Feng, Bin Feng, Zhengfeng Fang, Zhengfeng Fang, Shengyu Xu, Shengyu Xu, Yong Zhuo, Yong Zhuo, Jian Li, Jian Li, Lun Hua, Lun Hua, De Wu, De Wu, Junjie Zhang, Yuanxiao Wang +23 moredoaj +1 more sourceDietary fiber during gestation improves lactational feed intake of sows by modulating gut microbiota
Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2023 Background The feed intake of sows during lactation is often lower than their needs. High-fiber feed is usually used during gestation to increase the voluntary feed intake of sows during lactation.Shuang Li, Jie Zheng, Jiaqi He, Hao Liu, Yingyan Huang, Liansu Huang, Ke Wang, Xilun Zhao, Bin Feng, Lianqiang Che, Zhengfeng Fang, Jian Li, Shengyu Xu, Yan Lin, Xuemei Jiang, Lun Hua, Yong Zhuo, De Wu +17 moredoaj +1 more sourceEffects of dietary Clostridium butyricum supplementation on growth performance, intestinal development, and immune response of weaned piglets challenged with lipopolysaccharide
Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2018 Background Weanling pigs, with immature immune system and physiological function, usually experience post-weaning diarrhea. This study determined the effects of dietary Clostridium butyricum supplementation on growth performance, diarrhea, and immunity ...Ling Chen, Shuang Li, Jie Zheng, Wentao Li, Xuemei Jiang, Xilun Zhao, Jian Li, Lianqiang Che, Yan Lin, Shengyu Xu, Bin Feng, Zhengfeng Fang, De Wu +12 moredoaj +1 more sourceDietary protein levels and amino acid supplementation patterns alter the composition and functions of colonic microbiota in pigs
