The present research studied the effects of EGCG on the laying performance, egg quality, immune status, antioxidant capacity, and hepatic metabolome of <i>Linwu</i> laying ducks reared under high temperature. A total of 180 42-w-old healthy <i>Linwu</i> laying ducks were allocated into control or EGCG-treated groups. Each treatment had 6 replicates with 15 ducks in each replicate. Diets for the two groups were basal diets supplemented with 0 or 300 mg/kg EGCG, respectively. All ducks were raised in the high temperature condition (35 ± 2 °C for 6 h from 10:00 to 16:00, and 28 ± 2 °C for the other 18 h from 16:00 to 10:00 the next day) for 21 days. Results showed that EGCG increased the egg production rate (<i>p</i> = 0.014) and enhanced the immunocompetence by improving serum levels of immunoglobulin A (<i>p</i> = 0.008) and immunoglobulin G (<i>p</i> = 0.006). EGCG also fortified the antioxidant capacity by activating superoxide dismutase (<i>p</i> = 0.012), catalase (<i>p</i> = 0.009), and glutathione peroxidase (<i>p</i> = 0.021), and increasing the level of heat-shock protein 70 (<i>p</i> = 0.003) in laying ducks' liver. At the same time, hepatic metabolomics result suggested that EGCG increased the concentration of several key metabolites, such as spermidine (<i>p</i> = 0.031), tetramethylenediamine (<i>p</i> = 0.009), hyoscyamine (<i>p</i> = 0.026), β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (<i>p</i> = 0.038), and pantothenic acid (<i>p</i> = 0.010), which were involved in the metabolic pathways of glutathione metabolism, arginine and proline metabolism, β-alanine metabolism, and tropane, piperidine, and pyridine alkaloid biosynthesis. In conclusion, 300 mg/kg dietary EGCG showed protection effects on the laying ducks reared in high temperature by improving the immune and antioxidant capacities, which contributed to the increase of laying performance of ducks.

Naturally, the disease occurs in several vertebrates, particularly lagomorphs.

Vector-borne tularemia primarily involves ticks and mosquitoes. The bacterial subspecies involved and mode of transmission determine the clinical picture. Early signs are flu-like illnesses that may evolve into different clinical forms of tularemia that may or may not include lymphadenopathy. Ulcero-glandular and glandular forms are acquired by arthropod bite or handling of infected animals, oculo-glandular form as a result of conjunctival infection, and oro-pharyngeal form by intake of contaminated food or water. Pulmonary form appears after inhalation of bacteria. Typhoidal form may occur after infection <i>via</i> different routes. Human-to-human transmission has not been known. Diagnosis can be achieved by serology, bacterial culture, and molecular methods. Treatment for tularemia typically entails use of quinolones, tetracyclines, or aminoglycosides.
