The present study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of the Tianjihuang compound (HRS), a traditional Chinese medicine formulation, on AFB<sub>1</sub>-induced chronic toxicity in ducklings. Firstly, 30 ingredients, including neochlorogenic acid, kaempferol 3-alpha-D-galactoside, quercetin, hispidulin, caffeic acid, and myricetin, were identified from HRS with UPLC-MS/MS method. Then, over a 25-day experimental period, a total of 100 one-day-old Sichuan Sheldrakes were randomly divided into five groups: control, AFB<sub>1</sub> model, and HRS high (4 g/kg), medium (2 g/kg), and low dosage (1 g/kg) groups. Results indicated that HRS effectively mitigated the negative impact on the productivity, reduced the levels of liver index, AST, ALT, and AST/ALT in serum, increased the levels of serum TP content, and obviously alleviated inflammatory cell infiltration, liver fibrosis, and liver steatosis induced by AFB<sub>1</sub>. Additionally, HRS enhanced the levels of GST, CAT, and T-AOC, and decreased the levels of MDA and AFB<sub>1</sub>-DNA, thereby alleviating oxidative stress and AFB<sub>1</sub>-DNA generation caused by AFB<sub>1</sub>. Transcriptome analysis revealed that HRS may improve liver injury in AFB<sub>1</sub>-chronically poisoned ducklings by regulating the ECM receptor interaction, fatty acid metabolism, cell adhesion molecules, <em>TGF-β</em> signaling pathway, and <em>PPAR</em> signaling pathway. Further RT-qPCR analysis revealed that HRS might downregulate the expression of <em>ASCL4</em> gene by promoting the activation of <em>PPARα</em>, thereby inhibiting the activation of the <em>TGF-β</em> signaling pathway and improving liver steatosis and fibrosis caused by AFB<sub>1</sub> in ducklings. In conclusion, the HRS exhibits hepatoprotective effects against AFB<sub>1</sub>-induced chronic toxicity in ducklings by restoring liver function, enhancing antioxidant capacity, and its mechanism of damage resistance may be related to the improvement of liver steatosis and fibrosis in ducklings by inhibiting the <em>PPARα-TGF-β</em> signaling pathway.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20459,"journal":{"name":"Poultry Science","volume":"104 4","pages":"Article 105006"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143592146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we identified a novel highly conserved lncRNA (ENSGALT00000079786) in poultry, which we designated as lncRNA A2ml2 based on its chromosomal location. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (<strong>FISH</strong>) revealed that lncRNA A2ml2 was localized in both the nucleus and cytoplasm.

Over the last decade, fertility and hatchability issues have emerged as key topics of interest for both breeders and producers. In this study, we took an analytical approach to interrogate declining fertility trends among U.S. broiler breeders from 2013 to 2022, leveraging data from the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). Despite an increase in the number of eggs set and broilers raised to meet the rising demand for poultry, projections indicate that hatchability rates could decrease to approximately 60 % by 2050 without corrective action. Our Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) analysis reveals significant declines in essential production metrics, including hatchability, chick livability, and production efficiency. The analysis also includes 95 % credible intervals that confirm a persistent downward trend across these parameters. We developed the Broiler Breeder Performance Index (BBPI) to deepen our understanding of these trends, utilizing both Gaussian and Cauchy models to evaluate predictive performance. The BBPI projections suggest a decline below baseline values over time, underscoring the urgent need for interventions to counteract the fertility crisis in the broiler industry. Several factors contribute to this decline, including management practices and genetic selection strategies. Effective flock management techniques, such as sex-separate feeding and careful weight monitoring, are vital for improving reproductive viability among broiler breeders. Our findings highlight the necessity of addressing these fertility issues to ensure the long-term sustainability of U.S. poultry production. As the global demand for poultry meat grows, the poultry industry faces significant challenges in maintaining productivity. By pinpointing the causes of fertility decline and implementing effective management strategies, stakeholders can better navigate the complexities of poultry production and contribute to food security.

The whole genome sequence analysis revealed that CK/CH/LN/2302 shared a high level of homology (96.41%) with the GI-19 strain SC/SDL/19. The phylogenetic tree based on the S1 gene indicates that CK/CH/LN/2302 belongs to the GI-19 lineage. Notably, recombination analysis using RDP5 and SimPlot software suggested that the GI-19 strain and a 4/91-like strain likely contributed to four recombination events in the CK/CH/LN/2302 genome. Phylogenetic analysis of these four regions further supported this conclusion. Protein structure analysis revealed that most of the nonstructural protein 2 (nsp2), main protease (M<sup>pro</sup>), S1, and 5a protein regions were replaced by sequences from the 4/91-like strain. After infecting 1-day-old SPF chickens, CK/CH/LN/2302 presented a mortality rate as high as 60%.

The treatments were as follows: negative control with phosphate buffered saline (<strong>NC-PBS</strong>), solvent control containing 1 % dimethyl sulfoxide (<strong>DMSO</strong>), salinomycin at 12 mg/kg with 1 % DMSO in PBS (<strong>SAL</strong>), and 500 mg/kg PHM in PBS (<strong>PHM</strong>). For the <em>in vivo</em> trial, a total of 288 0-day-old male Cobb 500 were randomly distributed into 3 treatments with 8 replicates, and study lasted for 28 days. Treatments were as follows: non-challenge control with a basal diet (<strong>NC</strong>), <em>Eimeria</em> spp. challenge with a basal diet (<strong>CC</strong>), and <em>Eimeria</em> spp. challenge with a basal diet containing 500 mg/kg of the PHM (<strong>PHM</strong>). Chickens in challenged groups were inoculated with 62,500 oocyst of <em>E. acervulina</em>, 12,500 oocyst of <em>E. maxima</em> and <em>E. tenella</em> on 14 days. <em>In vitro</em> results showed that PHM increased (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.001) a <em>Eimeria</em> sporozoite reduction percentage. As for <em>in vivo</em> results, the PHM group had similar body weight gain, feed intake, and feed efficiency compared to the NC group. The use of PHM reduced fecal oocyst counts of <em>E. tenella</em> and <em>E. maxima</em> from 6 to 9 days post inoculation (<strong>DPI</strong>; <em>P</em> &lt; 0.05). Moreover, PHM supplementation decreased duodenum and ceca lesion scores (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.001). The PHM group also had reduced expression levels of claudin 1 (<em>CLDN-1</em>), interleukin 1 beta (<em>IL-1β</em>) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (<em>TNF-α</em>) in the jejunum compared to the CC group (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.01). In conclusion, the supplementation with 500 mg/kg of polyherbal mixture both <em>in vitro</em> and <em>in vivo</em> reduced the viability of <em>E. tenella</em> and <em>E. maxima</em> sporozoites, and this could explain that PHM effectively mitigated negative effects caused by the challenge with <em>Eimeria</em> spp., suggesting that it could be a dietary strategy to improve performance and gut health in broilers under coccidiosis.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20459,"journal":{"name":"Poultry Science","volume":"104 4","pages":"Article 105002"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143592308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One hundred and eighty one-day-old male broiler chicks were divided into three groups with six replicates of ten chicks each for a 21-day trial. The birds in the control and APEC groups were fed a basal diet, while birds in the CGA-treated group received a basal diet supplemented with 1000 mg/kg of CGA. At 14 days, birds in the APEC and CGA groups were administered with an APEC suspension Compared with the APEC group, CGA incorporation decreased mortality and cecal <em>Escherichia coli</em> colonies in bacterially challenged broilers (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.05). Additionally, CGA reduced the relative weight of the heart, liver, kidney, gizzard, proventriculus, and intestine, as well as serum triglyceride level and alanine aminotransferase activity in APEC<em>-</em>challenged broilers (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.05). Supplementing CGA reduced the concentrations of interferon-γ, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β, and/or interleukin-6 in serum, duodenum, jejunum, and/or ileum in APEC-challenged broilers presumably through the inactivation of the toll-like receptor 4/myeloid differentiation factor 88 pathway (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.05). CGA administration reduced serum diamine oxidase activity and d-lactate and endotoxin concentrations, but increased the ratio between villus height and crypt depth in duodenum and jejunum of APEC<em>-</em>infected chickens, accompanied by the restored intestinal expression of tight junction proteins (claudin-1, claudin-2, occludin, and zonula occludens-1) and genes involved in apoptosis (B cell lymphoma-2 associated X protein, B cell lymphoma-2, and cysteine-requiring aspartate protease 9) (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.05). Additionally, CGA increased superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase activities, and glutathione levels in serum and intestinal mucosa, but inhibited the accumulation of intestinal malondialdehyde in APEC<em>-</em>challenged broilers possibly via activating the nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor-2/heme oxygenase-1 pathway (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.05). The results suggested that CGA alleviated APEC-induced intestinal damage in broilers by inhibiting inflammation and oxidative stress. However, its potential application in practical poultry production is contingent upon both its efficacy and cost-effectiveness.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20459,"journal":{"name":"Poultry Science","volume":"104 5","pages":"Article 105005"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143610731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
