Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of fermented wheat bran (FWB) on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, serum biochemistry, short-chain fatty acids, and intestinal microbiota of weaned piglets. One hundred twenty-eight weaned piglets were randomly assigned to 4 groups, each with 8 pens and 4 piglets per pen: basal diet group (BD), 5% wheat bran group (5% WB), 5% fermented wheat bran group (5% FWB), and 10% fermented wheat bran group (10% FWB) for a 28-day trial. Results showed that compared to the BD group, the diarrhea rate in the 5% WB group was significantly increased (p < 0.05) at d 15-28 and d 1-28. In contrast, at d 15-28 and d 1-28, the diarrhea rates in the 5% FWB and 10% FWB groups were significantly lower than those in the 5% WB group and showed no significant difference compared to the BD group. Moreover, the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of DM, GE, CP, EE, CF and ADF at d 1-14, and EE and NDF at d 15-28 in the 5% FWB group were significantly improved compared to the 5% WB group (p < 0.05). However, only the ATTD of CP, EE and CF at d 1-14 in the 10% FWB group were significantly higher than those in the 5% WB group (p < 0.01). Compared to the BD group, the pH of cecum chyme and serum urea nitrogen content in the 5% FWB and 10% FWB groups were significantly reduced (p < 0.05), and those in the 10% FWB group were significantly lower than those in the 5% WB group (p < 0.01). The propionic acid content of cecum chyme in the 5% FWB and 10% FWB groups, and butyric acid content in the 10% FWB group were significantly higher than those in the BD group (p < 0.05). LEfSe analysis (LDA score > 3.0) identified 4 species, 6 species of Proteobacteria, 2 species, and 9 species that were enriched in the BD, 5% WB, 5%F WB and 10%F WB groups, respectively. Additionally, Dialister, Prevotellaceae_NK3B31_group, Mitsuokella, Succinivibrio, and Prevotella were significantly and positively correlated with the concentrations of valeric acid, propionic acid, and acetic acid (p < 0.05). In conclusion, 10% FWB supplementation in weaned piglet diets did not affect growth performance, it reduced the diarrhea rate compared to the 5% WB group, potentially due to enhanced nutrient digestibility, elevated SCFAs levels, and shifts in microbial composition.

发酵麦麸对断奶仔猪生长性能、营养物质消化率和肠道菌群的影响。
本试验旨在研究发酵麦麸对断奶仔猪生长性能、营养物质消化率、血清生化、短链脂肪酸和肠道菌群的影响。试验选用128头断奶仔猪,随机分为基础饲粮组(BD)、5%麦麸组(5% WB)、5%发酵麦麸组(5% FWB)和10%发酵麦麸组(10% FWB) 4组,每组8个栏,每栏4头仔猪,试验期28 d。结果显示,与BD组相比,5% WB组腹泻率显著提高(p p p p p p  3.0),在BD组、5% WB组、5% f WB组和10%F WB组中分别鉴定出4种、6种Proteobacteria, 2种和9种。此外,Dialister、Prevotellaceae_NK3B31_group、Mitsuokella、Succinivibrio和Prevotella与戊酸、丙酸和乙酸的浓度呈显著正相关(p

期刊介绍: Frontiers in Veterinary Science is a global, peer-reviewed, Open Access journal that bridges animal and human health, brings a comparative approach to medical and surgical challenges, and advances innovative biotechnology and therapy. Veterinary research today is interdisciplinary, collaborative, and socially relevant, transforming how we understand and investigate animal health and disease. Fundamental research in emerging infectious diseases, predictive genomics, stem cell therapy, and translational modelling is grounded within the integrative social context of public and environmental health, wildlife conservation, novel biomarkers, societal well-being, and cutting-edge clinical practice and specialization. Frontiers in Veterinary Science brings a 21st-century approach—networked, collaborative, and Open Access—to communicate this progress and innovation to both the specialist and to the wider audience of readers in the field. Frontiers in Veterinary Science publishes articles on outstanding discoveries across a wide spectrum of translational, foundational, and clinical research. The journal''s mission is to bring all relevant veterinary sciences together on a single platform with the goal of improving animal and human health.
