To directly assess the effects of RS on gut microbiota and its role in improving intestinal barrier function in meat ducks, this study first established an antibiotic-induced microbial dysbiosis model, which was characterized by reduced gut microbial diversity, intestinal dysfunction, and an inflammatory outburst following antibiotic exposure. Whereafter, in addition to the control group, ducks treated with antibiotics for 7 consecutive days were further allocated to two groups and fed the basal diet and RS diet that derived from 12 % raw potato starch until 21 d. The results demonstrated that dietary RS supplementation reversed the antibiotic-induced reduction in microbial diversity and restored the Firmicutes-to-Bacteroidetes ratio. Additionally, RS inclusion enriched beneficial bacterial genera, including <em>Coprobacter, Odoribacter</em>, and <em>Faecalibacterium</em> (LDA score &gt; 3). Post-antibiotic intervention led to a reduction in villus density and muscular thickness, accompanied by a significant downregulation (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.05) of <em>zonula occludens-1</em> and <em>mucin-2</em> expression, along with increased serum pro-inflammatory cytokine levels (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.05). Notably, dietary RS supplementation significantly enhanced (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.05) the expression of <em>glucagon-like peptide receptor</em> and the anti-apoptotic factor <em>Bcl-2</em>, while suppressing caspase transcription. This resulted in increased villus height and muscular thickness in the ileum (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.05). Furthermore, RS intervention remarkably reduced (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.05) pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, particularly interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α, in both the ileum and serum.

However, the molecular mechanisms underlying SM remain largely unexplored. The objective of this study was to identify molecular markers associated with SM in the epididymis of Zi geese (Anser cygnoides L.). The SM of 40 one-year-old ganders was assessed. Based on SM values, six ganders were selected: three with the highest SM (H group: <em>n</em> = 3, SM = 0.43 ± 0.02) and three with the lowest SM (L group: <em>n</em> = 3, SM = 0.10 ± 0.01, <em>P</em> &lt; 0.001). Semen quality parameters, fertility, and hormone levels were measured in both groups. Epididymal tissues from the six ganders were subjected to transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses. Results identified 438 differentially expressed genes (<strong>DEGs</strong>) between the groups, primarily associated with transmembrane transport of proteins and ions. These DEGs were enriched in pathways such as “alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism,” “butanoate metabolism,” and the “PPAR signaling pathway.” Among these, <em>ATP12A, ATP1B4</em>, and <em>CNDP1</em> were identified as key genes regulating SM. Additionally, 486 metabolites showed significant differences between the groups in both positive and negative ion modes. Integration of transcriptomic and metabolomic data revealed critical gene-metabolite pairs, including <em>CNDP1</em>–citric acid, implicated in SM regulation. Notably, the “arginine biosynthesis” pathway was significantly enriched by both DEGs and differential metabolites. In conclusion, this study provides novel insights into the molecular mechanisms regulating SM in the epididymis and lays a theoretical foundation for geese breeding programs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20459,"journal":{"name":"Poultry Science","volume":"104 7","pages":"Article 105180"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143864778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
