Gut microbiome composition differences among breeds impact feed efficiency in swine

Microbiome, 2020
Background Feed efficiency is a crucial parameter in swine production, given both its economic and environmental impact. The gut microbiota plays an essential role in nutrient digestibility and is, therefore, likely to affect feed efficiency.

Identification of the relationship between the gut microbiome and feed efficiency in a commercial pig cohort.

Journal of Animal Science, 2021
Feed efficiency is an economically important trait in pig production. Gut microbiota plays an important role in energy harvest, nutrient metabolism and fermentation of dietary indigestible components. Whether and which gut microbes affect feed efficiency

Impact of Intestinal Microbiota on Growth and Feed Efficiency in Pigs: A Review

Microorganisms, 2020
This review summarises the evidence for a link between the porcine intestinal microbiota and growth and feed efficiency (FE), and suggests microbiota-targeted strategies to improve productivity.

Exploring the genetic architecture of feed efficiency traits in chickens

Scientific Reports, 2021
Chicken feed efficiency (FE) traits are the most important economic traits in broiler production. Several studies evaluating genetic factors affecting food consumption in chickens are available.

Improvement of hybrid grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus ♀ × E. lanceolatus ♂) by enzyme-digested poultry by-product: Growth performance, amino acid and peptide transport capacity, and intestinal morphology

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2022
BackgroundAt present, fish meal (FM) resources are in short supply, and competition for food between humans and animals is becoming increasingly critical.

Ammonia Toxicity Induces Oxidative Stress, Inflammatory Response and Apoptosis in Hybrid Grouper (♀ Epinephelus fuscoguttatus × ♂ E. lanceolatu)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
To study the effects of acute ammonia stress on the poisoning reaction of the hybrid grouper (♀ Epinephelus fuscoguttatus × ♂ E. lanceolatu), 300 healthy grouper juveniles with an initial body weight of 51.4 ± 2.57 g were selected for an acute ammonia ...

Rumen Microbiome Composition Is Altered in Sheep Divergent in Feed Efficiency

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Rumen microbiome composition and functionality is linked to animal feed efficiency, particularly for bovine ruminants. To investigate this in sheep, we compared rumen bacterial and archaeal populations (and predicted metabolic processes) of sheep ...

Identification of QTL regions and candidate genes for growth and feed efficiency in broilers

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2021
Background Feed accounts for about 70% of the total cost of poultry meat production. Residual feed intake (RFI) has become the preferred measure of feed efficiency because it is phenotypically independent of growth rate and body weight.

Effects of Dietary Energy Levels on Rumen Fermentation, Microbial Diversity, and Feed Efficiency of Yaks (Bos grunniens)

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The microbial community of the yak (Bos grunniens) rumen plays an important role in surviving the harsh Tibetan environment where seasonal dynamic changes in pasture cause nutrient supply imbalances, resulting in weight loss in yaks during the cold ...

MHC II-PI3K/Akt/mTOR Signaling Pathway Regulates Intestinal Immune Response Induced by Soy Glycinin in Hybrid Grouper: Protective Effects of Sodium Butyrate

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Soy glycinin (11S) is involved in immune regulation. As an additive, sodium butyrate (SB) can relieve inflammation caused by 11S. To further delve into the mechanisms.
